That’s actually the reason I prefer the 58X. The 600 is less adept at conveying dynamics and the power of those instruments. I’ve been sometimes underwhelmed by the 600 during a piano concerto. Same for passages during Carmina Burana...especially the more dynamic parts of O Fortuna. I just...

As much as I love the HD 600, I’d argue that it’s not actually neutral. It rolls off too quickly down low to properly represent a lot of recordings. The HD58X is warmer, but to me it’s actually more *transparent* because it can offer a better fledged out low end, while retaining the mids and highs.

Given that the HD600 might be my favorite headphone of all time, I couldn't help myself when I heard reports that the HD58X was a HD600 with sub-bass. So, the HD58X Jubilee ended up being my first headphone purchase in over 2 years. I'd been doing so well, completely content. As for the sound...

Every now and again, I hear a song and wonder wistfully how they'd sound through the FADs. Hey James! Good to see you're still roaming the streets of Italy

Hey guys! It's been a while. More specifically, it's been 3 years since I bought a pair of headphones, after almost 5 years and 7+ thousand posts worth of TOTL end-game IEM buying, selling, and auditioning. I just wanted to poke my head back in the forums to share my experience of what life is...

I pretty much have the entire lineup, and the FXA7 and ASG2.5 are neck and neck. The 2.5 sounds a bit less jagged up top though.

He is *no longer with us*. I realized today it's getting to 4 years

Just stopping in to pour a drink out for music_4321

    Lol, I wasn't kidding when I said I was done with the merry-go-round. I still pop in and out every now and then to check if iems/daps have made any major leaps in tech. For now it looks like we still haven't.   Hope you're good bro!

  Posts like this are why you're such an asset, James. Keep up the good fight.

  Silly James...you *are* the model

One day in the near future I'm going to accompany you on these Italian excursions.

Spent the weekend at Austin City Limits. I finally got to see some of my favorite bands in concert. Mumford and Sons in particular was INCREDIBLE, and I was in the front row. It's impossible to put into words the sheer human energy at the front row of a 10,000 attendee concert, while the crowd...
