Welcome to the club. They're definitely an underrated headphone. If you'd don't mind me asking what amp are you running them with? Asking as it looks like a Burson and I've got the Conductor V2.

I previously wrote about the Dekoni choice suede pads on the T90's which I found better than any other pads. Soundstage remained intact, slight lower mids/mids boost. Didn't work with my Mullard tubes which were already leaning on too warm with the stock pads, but the sound was vastly improved...

Any amp suggestions would be appreciated. Was looking at the drop + cavalli liquid carbon x. Any ideas on what that would be like or information tubes and tube hybrids for the focal clears and elears would be greatly appreciated.

The inputs of most amps are quite complicated as to avoid this kind of damage. especially if the amp was off (but even if it was on). Given this information, if your other components are working fine, then they most likely are fine. Most likely the problems with your DAC would have come from a...

Give them ago first. If they give you what you are looking for than leave it at that. If they don't then keep looking.

For musicality the Elears you mentioned would be spot on although I would recommend the Drop + Focal Elex's simply for price reasons. The low end of these headphones is phenomenal. Despite this nothing is ever subtracted from the other frequency ranges and if you get the Clears (what I'm...

I have owned Focal Elears and now own Focal Clears. Love the headphones for the most part but think they might not match perfectly with my Burson Conductor V2. Certainly doesn't sound bad with the clears but have found the amp can sound a bit congested with the clears. Fair enough as I mainly...

For an open headphone with brighter and more neutral sound than the Hd650/6xx try the cheaper HD58x. Neutralish sound with slightly elevated low end and slightly reduced highs. With some experimentation on the foam in front of the drivers you can tune the highs to your liking. I think stock...

As outlined above Planar dynamics need more wattage over voltage compared to high impedance dynamics. As a result even when you are getting the headphones to a suitable volume you'll find they lack things in comparison to higher powered amps. For example, my Sundara's reach a suitable volume...

It's a pre out the same as the LD MkII and will run the signal through the tubes.

The LD MKIII SE is solid state and aimed at giving some tube flavour to high power planar headphones. Great amp but there are better options for the HD6XX. I have a number of amps and still use my LD MKII in my office with Beyerdynamic T1 gen 2's so no need to worry about how the amp scales to...

If you read his post he says; Funnily enough HD58X's with an amp were going to be my original suggestion as well, till I saw wireless.

What's your source? Have you tried tube rolling? The stock tubes are nowhere near the potential of the amp. I've got an LD MkII and I've tried many tubes. It completely changes the character of the amp and is one of the main appeals of having a tube amp. Which the stock tubes you might as well...

https://drop.com/buy/drop-wireless-headphones The Drop + THX Panda are possibly the only pair of wireless headphones I would ever consider owning. Based off the fan favourite OPPO PM driver with the addition of the worlds cleanest amplifier built in, there's nothing that comes close.

For home use in private is there any reason to use closed back headphones?. Let's assume ideal open back headphone conditions. What SQ advantages do closed back headphones have. I can't imagine any and yet people buy high end closed back headphones for home use, even when they own other high...
