    HD650 Driver (?) replacements

    For anyone who comes across this and wants an answer: I managed to find a contact number on the Sennheiser headphone spares website and I was told Dynamic Neodymium Capsule's are drivers and that I would need 2 since they were changed around 2009. Might have been a silly/simple question, but...

    HD650 Driver (?) replacements

    Hi, I've got a pair of Sennheiser HD650 headphones and recently I noticed a "vibration" in the right ear when bassy/low-frequency music was being played. I thought this was the foam insert since it was ripped. I replaced these but it hasn't helped. My current guess is that it's the driver. I...

    DAC/Headphone Amp for HD650 on a Desktop PC with Foobar for music and some movies

      Quote:   Is that the "0.0003% (-110dB) for Front-out, 0.001% (-100dB) for Headphone-out" shown on the specification page? Also, how does a soundcard like this have a front out? Can I somehow connect the soundcard to my front audio out jack? If I did that, I'll still get the benefits...

    DAC/Headphone Amp for HD650 on a Desktop PC with Foobar for music and some movies

    Hello. I previously made a post about a soundcard for games/music, but I've moved away from that thanks to some of the advice from that thread. However, it's a little old and my title has changed, so here's my new post! :) As above, I use Sennheiser HD650's for my audio, and only download...

    How to improve setup?

    Sorry for recovering an old thread, but I wanted to add a little more/ask for some more opinions. Assuming I'm using lossless audio (in this case FLAC), and am only interested in music audio (no gaming) using good headphones (I hope HD650's are classed as good), what would you recommend? My...

    How to improve setup?

    I've downloaded an am currently testing the Foobar 2000 build from http://www.head-fi.org/t/555263/foobar2000-dolby-headphone-config-comment-discuss, which so far, I am liking. For now, I will ignore gaming audio quality (hardly play any PC games that would use 5.1), and look more into just...

    How to improve setup?

    I believe I neglected to mention that a feature of the Creative card was the DDL output (for my gaming audio setup (Astro A40's)). I'll take a look at the options you have al mentioned, thank you very much.

    How to improve setup?

    Hi, I'm getting back into listening to music a lot, and I think I could upgrade my system a little. I'm currently using: HD 650's On-board audio () Foobar 2000 FLAC Audio Files   My Foobar setup is just stock, no settings changed on anything. How could I improve this, what...
