Also I hate this nato strap... why isn't it 1/2" ~ 1" longer... can't tuck the end back (unless I wear it too tight and then just barely... Need to order Some XL NATO's I guess? I...- atarione

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
oh man.... apparently the comments I have seen about clamping force are no joke... hopefully these things loosen up a bit after some use? I am liking the sound but I'm not that pleased with the headvice clamping force.- atarione

So inadvertent portable CD player Shootout occurred... I have a Sony D-2 (japan 1988 (i think the last number of the year is illegible)... and a 1993 Panasonic SL-S150... well perhaps a not surprising verdict is the D-2 > D131 > SL-S150 ... In my listening the D-2 has the best bass response...- atarione

adds bass to the listening experience... placement is key... hence the large mouse pad.. =p also $14~ at Total Wine (12pk) ... well worth the investment for improved bass response.- atarione

(it is mono) .. it works however .... The D-2 is...- atarione
