The Magni is a push pull amplifier which is more efficient plus they sound better than a class A in my opinion. Class AB amplifiers have a better rhythm and pace and get you moving. Class A amplifiers are biased very high and get very hot due to the transistor doing both the positive and...

I would have to disagree, headphones are all about replicating the way a live performance sounds. I have listened to both headphones and the HD-650 is the same as being in a live performance with ear warmers on. No one can say that the HD-650 sounds natural and if anyone hears harshness in the...

You need to EQ the heck out of them. They lack bass like nobodies business. I would exchange them for a better headphone altogether since they sound horrendous.

The best thing that you can do is get or buy another headphone. The Elear is an overrated very forward honking sounding headphone that is very annoying.

I am sorry but even though I hate the 650's they sound better than the Focal Elear.

I disagree, I found the Focal Elear to be a honky mid-rangy headphone, I was not able to stand them. They lack soundstage depth, width, height, bass and the treble is awful. They sound to me like a honking AM radio at full blast in my poor ears.

I agree, what is with the single jack? We can't balance the headphones unless you add another one on the other cup. Beyerdynamic is still a Mickey Mouse headphone company.

I have a Gungnir and the Meridian Explorer 2 sounds smoother to my friend and I both. The Gungnir cost more and has more hardware packed inside but the truth is in the hearing. We also compared the Explorer 2 to the Explorer1 and it was difficult to tell which one was better for most songs. The...

To get true good sound you will need to replace your sound card and use an external DAC. There is just too much noise inside a computer for an internal sound card to sound good. The external DAC should then be plugged into a good amplifier such as Schiit Audio Asgard 2. 

The HD-650 compared to the HD-700 do sound distorted and is audible when comparing the two side by side. I am not saying the HD-700 is better but I did notice what Purrin described in his review. He is very accurate with his review and spot on. The HD-700 however don't sound bad. I do enjoy them...
