I blame streaming! :)

I'm not too active on this site anymore. I have a setup I'm pretty happy with, so I my days of aggressive great trying as somewhat behind me. But I know we used to have a pretty good group in the area several years ago, and it was to listen to different great. I'm curious whether there's...

I have the DT1770 and DT177x. They're very similar, and if having a balanced headphone is at all a consideration to you, the 177x is the clear choice. They are also pretty driveable out of good, portable gear -- so if that's important at all, it's an easy choice. All that being said, I...

I have a couple of Raspberry Pi streamers that I control with my phone through the network. My favorite is Max2Play because it has built in crossfeed support: https://www.max2play.com/en/

I tried these with my Hiby R5 via the single ended output. My balanced cable won't be here for a couple of weeks. In high gain mode, it was able to drive the headphones to good listening levels, and could get them louder than I'd ever need. However, I thought there was a significant downgrade...

Thanks. I'm going to try it with decent DAP (which has both a SE and balanced headphone amp built in to test it (waiting for my balanced cable for the AEONs). I've never had headphones with impedence this low, so I'm curious.

I don't think there is any correlation here.

I'm always interested to hear impressions from those who are coming from HD600/650. While there is some things I like about the Senns, I've never be able to get past what I perceive and a thickness or muffling of the sound.

Mine arrived yesterday. This is my first set of planar headphones. Most recently, I've been listing to various Beyers -- 1770, T5 (3rd), and Amirons. Out of the box, I really like them. They're very comfortable and sound great. They don't have as much oomph as the Beyers for the lower...

Editing because I'm an idiot. I see how to adjust the band now. Will post impressions later.

So, still fruit, but a different type of fruit. :)

It's been a while since I listend to a Sennheiser headphone. I've owened the HD580 and HD650, and ultimately moved on because I didn't like the sound signature. How different in the 800(S)?

I think I'm definitely a fan of angled drivers. I liked Sony's CD3000 back in the day. I have the T5s on my main set up, and I've been using the 177x/1770 on my secondary setup. Switching between them is a bit more jarring that I anticipated. I'm a big fan of 1770s, but they've been sounding...

Is there a place to get a reasonably priced balanced cable for these?

Unfortunately, I havent heard the 770s but I do love thr 1770s.
