    Recommend Headphones for Gaming.

    Hello All,   I am currently using my HD600 with my Valhalla 2 and modi 2 uber for gaming, and even though they are very good, I want something better in terms of soundstage, and maybe a little more impact. The HD600 are very nice, and the pairing with the Valhalla 2 provides an incredible...

    Bottlehead Crack vs. Valhalla 2 for HD600.

    I received my HD600 last friday and I am enjoying it connected from my mixer Q502USB, which is connected to the pre-outs of my Yamaha RX-V675 receiver.    In the list of Amps I am considering are the Bottlehead Crack and the Valhalla 2, but I can't find comparisons of both specially driving...

    I just got my HD600... you know the drill...

    I just got my HD600 and after listening to 6 songs, I LOOVE THEM!    They are importantly underamped, and are not being FED nothing fancy.  I am running them from my unexpectedly powerful behringer Q502USB mixer, connected to my Yamaha receiver preouts. Currently listening to Spotify in...

    Headphones System to match my main audio system (in terms of SQ).

    HD595 first impressions.

    I've owned my HD555 for several years. They broke recently and repairing them would cost around 58usd, plus shipping outside the USA. I saw the HD595 was at a reduced price in amazon.com and decided to buy them. They were (i think are)about 100usd less than the last time I checked, at 129.   ...

    HD555 PARTS AND DRIVERS.

    After almost 3 years of use the right driver of my HD555 are broken. The cushions are also in very bad condition and need to be replace. I checked the sennheiser website and they dont offer parts for the hd555 other than an adapter and the cable. I suppose they should sell the parts...

    HD555 sounds weird.

    The right driver sounds as if it were broken. It had been like that before, and i solved it blowing it a little bit. Now it is getting worse and worse. There is some kind of plastic material coming off. It's the material from the pads hat touches the driver protector. I dont know if im being...

    Amp/dac combo question.

    Is the Amp of these portables generally better than the DAC section. I have been very pleased with the headstage lyrix since the first day I got it, but today, for the first time, I decided to connect it to the wallwart and I must say the difference in sound is quite big. The difference ifrom...

    I need some tips for the TFP 10.

    It seems the small ones are a bit too small and the mediums are a bit too big. With the mediums the bass is simply unbelieveable, but the mids and highs get a little recessed. With the small ones I lose the fit and the sound stop being great. I need to keep reinserting them and that shouldnt...

    Triple fi and amp gain...

    I am using mine with the Headstage Lyrix USB dac/amp. With the low gain setting they sound dull and the bass is lacking in most songs. I was feeling with low volume they were quite boring but when i put the volume at about 10.30 they become alive. That is why I tried with high gain setting and...

    Desktop and portable amps question.

    I sold my HD650 and miss it so much I will take the Senn route and get the HD600 just to try them, if i still miss the HD650 I will sell the HD600 and get the HD650. I understand I need a desktop amp to power any of them, but Ive read about the predator or the PIco delivering more than 9V in...

    Replacing my HD650...

    They are practically sold as i have received 3offers today. I am now considering the Denon d2000, Audio technica a900 or the esw9. I am going to be driving them from my headstage lyrix which i found to be a great improvement from the zen/laptop's out/receiver. I am basically looking for the...

    If you think the HD650 is colored...

    ...then you need to go listen to Dave Matthews band's "Say Goodbye (live)" intro from The Best of what's around Vol. 1 album. Those drums and cymbals sound just as if they were right in my room. It's amazing!!! Which range of the sound spectrum do you people find the coloration on the HD650...

    OK. The thing here is that Im selling my new HD650. And somehow i know that ill miss them. Right now im listening to them using my headstage lyrix and they are amazing. Seriously. I just want to bring those damned vocals closer to me!!! Other than that, they are simply perfect imho. I must...

    Moving on...

    My brand new HD650 are not fully burned in. That is assuming the "full" burn in is at around 300hours. I dont feel they are a keeper...i've got to love them but there is something im missing from my HD555, but when i put them on, they sound thin and not even remotely close as detailed as the...

    Lossless and 320kbps lossy formats.

    Since I got my HD650 last week Ive felt the urge to upgrade and rerip my whole library. That is not possible because lots of my discs are lost or damaged. I have to agree that the 320kbps compression is great, and using most headphones most people wont be able to hear the difference, but...

    HD650 out of Headstage Lyrix: first impressions.

    I think some of you were right when you said I needed a much better source and specially amplification if I was going to buy the HD650. I was so excited I couldnt wait to get home from office to start listening. When i puled them out of the box the closest headphone out i had was the...

    Headphonia Headstage lyrix USB AMP/DAC

    I received it only a couple hours ago. At first I thought it was defective because even when i was able to notice a difference for the better in the sound, it was not coming out properly balanced. After checking the comp[uter settings I saw the balance was actually turned to the right just a...

    HD650 and HD600 differences.

    Well, I made this poll http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/aga...03/index4.html and it confirmed what i had thought The HD600 is the favorite can of the headfiers tagged below $300. The thing is I didnt include the HD650 just because i would have to pay retail for them, but i found a deal that...

    Airhead/Bithead vs. Headstage Lyrics pro USB.???

    I think the fair fight should be among Bithead and Headstage, because they are both DAC/AMP and about the same price. Lately I developed a massive case of upgraditis and I already ordered HD650 and the headstage, but I am really into trying several different things. I dont have that much...

    Headphone authenticity.

    I am going to buy a couple headphones and for me this is a pretty big purchase. I have been checking for good deals and there are certain brands that you can find such great deals that it makes me think if those products are legit. There are brands that buying from a non-authorized dealer is...
