I've missed all the Windows 11 talk. I'll probably get it next year, I just don't feel like bothering with installing it in my current system. My PC's 4th gen Intel and it's working just fine. If I build it next year, my CPU/motherboard will be 10 years old :smiley:

WOW: Just finally got a listen to the HarmonicDyne Helios. Not a bad-sounding headphone, seems worth the $80 I paid for it. Not going to replace either of my current ones, but I think it should do well in replacing the Superlux my buddy bought all those years ago when were mere poor college...

I barely pay attention to those frequency spec listings; I doubt I could hear above probably 18kHz if I bothered to do a sine sweep. The higher and lower frequencies do have an effect I think, but nothing that I could say I hear, more like something I kinda feel (and how reliable and tangible...

That's interesting. Haven't seen tube toxicity as a metric yet. I wonder if it's just because no one has lived through testing that measurement, could still be a valid test.

I've beaten you in time, old friend :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:. It took me a mere 4 years or so to decide not to bother much with seeing if I want to replace my HD600. It will firmly be my main headphone for the foreseeable future (I've got a TH-X00 if I'm feeling like some more bass, but...

Shoot, forgot to post up that WOW I had in mind, don't think I saw it yet.....

Feels like it's been ages, love seeing the group's been having a great time in the lounge :beerchug: I'll probably go to Win11 when I build a new computer, probably next year or two. Towards the end of next year is when the core of my computer (processor/motherboard) will be 10 years old. In the...

Aw crap, I missed the 2000 page party, haven't been here in such a long time, hope everyone's been having a good time! My computer won't go to Windows 11 (at least not via autoupdate) cuz the core of it is 9 years old. Ah yes, back in the day when 4c/8t was the top of the pile. Beautiful R34...

I'm usually a gray/black matte finish kinda guy for most stuff, but the original navy marble finish of the HD600 is more appealing to me. If there's a choice between the HD600 original vs HD600 drivers in the frame of the current HD660S, I prefer the look of the original :grin:

Sounds like a decently good time to look forward to in my book :beerchug:. The other night I spent an hour going back and forth on them because I had originally just intended to get them charged and check that they worked fine before giving them to my friend the next day. The reason I say to...

If you don't like them, you don't like them. Not everyone does, but a lot of people do (as you've clearly seen in this thread). At the very least, I feel like you've just had horrible luck with the lifespan of your Sennheisers. My bro has an HD650 and I have an HD600, both of which have been...

Yeah your set doesn't sound put together somewhere. I've had no problem with charging mine, always used a 2a charger (I've plugged in my 3.7a phone charger to it before and at least know that doesn't work). I overall do like the sound of the Oras quite a bit more than my Pandas stock to stock...

This past page may have strayed slightly from audio.....but I'll be damned if I say I don't enjoy some adorable animals.

I use a set of BGVP Q2s if I'm using a wireless IEM. No ANC or any fancy features, but they sound pretty good and were very affordable. I'm not a fan of ear guides that have wires in them. I've had IEM cables where there's still a guide on it, but it's purely heatshrink so it truly is a guide...

I listened to some Grado SR325is at one point and some custom Grado-style build. I recall the SR325i not quite being my cup of tea for more than just comfort reasons. That custom build sounded better, but there was certainly enough not to like that I stuck with my venerable HD600 and a TH-X00...

I haven't been here a while, so I'll do my usual and add something along the electronic lines of music: Also, I've recently brought back out the 64Audio U6 and the Audeze iSine10 with a Cipher-equivalent EQ (or as near as I can get it) and both are still sounding fantastic. I haven't used...

A tiny extra bass works well for the HD600 IMO. My DAC/amp isn't neutral anyway, has a warm tilt, HD600s sound great on it.

I can rest easy that I'm not in that picture like you guys. Their posture is nowhere near as bad as mine. Just like a huge chunk of the younger millenial generation :sweat_smile:

Lurking is great solution even if you aren't much in the audio game anymore. I get stuff so rarely, pretty much all I do these days is lurk.

Those lines on screen are not lost on me as I 100% read all of that as Mitch Hedberg. Dude was a fantastic comedian!

It's a weird thing sometimes, as with all media experiences honestly. It's like how some movies, you watch a second or third time and each time it feels different than the first time; I often see people comment about how they would be lukewarm about a movie the first watch, but for whatever...

You've already stretched out the arms? I agree that the clamp is quite a lot out of the box, but it's not any sort of problem for me now after adjusting the arms appropriately. Since they're metal, you can pull them all the way out and slightly bend them and that eases the clamp. I haven't had...

Certainly wouldn't blame you for that. I've always liked the value proposition of AMD compared to NVidia. But I like the raw power of NVidia's cards more. I play at 1440p, but I love to crank settings to the max and most of what I play are the AAA graphically heavy hitters. I like to know that...

I'm not really all that surprised not many post here. Unlike some of the more active threads, this thread has been solely for HD600. There's not a new product to discuss, there's nothing new about it. It's the same headphone it's always been and yet it still has nearly 1400 pages of talk. It's...

Huh, that's weird behavior. But you've learned something I guess? I would personally wait for the RX6000 series. NVidia's unveiled their next lineup already, I'm expecting AMD to do theirs maybe around January with availability in the summer. But who am I to talk? I get a new GPU every other...
