One thing I've noticed about the head-fi community after spending over 8 months of continually reading the forums is that the people here are extremely respectful, helpful, and intelligent. This, in large, is by far the most mature group of people I have ever encountered on the internet.  ...

Quote: Pretty much the same story with me. When I bought the HD-600s I hated its sound signature but after long and extensive use I've grown to love it. Not sure if this is "burn in" or if I just got used to it. But I do remember that I tried burning in for 50-70 hours straight one time...

Quote:     Well the whole left right thing can easily be fixed by the VLC player.   VLC has an option to play audio as "reverse stereo". I can't really explain it that well, so I'll just give an example.   So let's say that I just bought a new pair of headphones and want to test...

Quote: I gathered it from the audiophile myths thread here in Sound Science. What meant is that small changes on graphs doesn't always result in hearing it any different.    

Quote: But from what I've gathered, graphical measurements does not always equate to changes in what people actually hear.    

Quote:   That's really interesting... Never heard of one hour burn in before. And I guess you could always just buy two headphones and compare. But I'd figured it'd be easier with one.

The majority of people here on Head-fi believe that the burn in effect is real and vouch for it on a regular basis. And then there are a few folks who swear that there's no such difference and that it's all psychological. They say that, maybe "burn in" is just people getting used to the...

^   Sorry, I misinterpreted your post a bit.   I have the HD-600s myself and find them too neutral and bloated to be any fun. The HD-600 is a lovely headphone to sleep and relax to but most of the time I listen to music to pump me up. Anyways, I have the E9/E7 combo and all it really...

Dude, you gotta stop bumping. If your post isn't getting that much attention, it's because it's already been answered hundreds of times before.   Anyhow, because I actually want to be productive in your thread - I wouldn't recommend the HD-600s for you at all.   If you want...

I'm not sure if Sennheisers in general are all that good for bass-heavy listening.   I would go with the DT 770s. The cheapest version possible which is the pro version.

Roma101,   I wish that I had seen this thread earlier.   I also have an HFI-700 along with other headphones (not the 780's, my sig is wrong). They were my first headphone and they were what hooked into Headfi in the first place... Anyhow if you are curious enough, I'll do a quick...

Okay, I want to spare you from some of the Head-Fi myths and "absolute" truths that go on around here. No headphone is golden.   Headphones and their musical tones are largely preferences. Many people prefer the sound of a HD-600 over a headphone 2-3 times that price. And many people hate...

Quote: I don't think so. Plenty of people on this forum do it from my experience. They run Xbox360/PS3 > Optical cable to Mixamp > E9 > Headphones   This is double amping but... From what I've gathered it doesn't make that much of a difference and is absolutely needed for energy...

What about your listening preference? Do you want on the go phones or at home phones?   But based on your post so far, I would say go with the Sennheiser HD-600s. They are really warm sounding and retain a lot of detail in the mids. Then go get yourself a amp to beef it up.   This should...

I believe the Mixamp provides a necessary internal mode called "Dolby Headphone" that's unique to itself. If you are gaming with an Xbox 360 or PS3, you need it for sure. If you are using a PC, it depends.   Personally, I would NOT go with the HD-600's or 650s. I have a pair of HD-600s...

Quote: By the way Zombie_X, I would just like to thank you for all of your threads and videos on the beyerdynamic line up. My first beyers will be arriving soon!    

Quote: Hey, seeing how you have both the AD700 and DT 990s   How do they compare for competitive gaming with the astro mixamp?

Quote: Amazon has a 30 day return policy on Amazon Warehouse deals. If you can't afford an amp, don't bother buying the DT-990 600ohms.   You are better off with the less expensive DT770s
