    Sony MDR-MV1

    Out of curiosity, I tried MV1's earpads on M1ST and CD900ST. For both of these, I have tried 5 or 6 pairs including Yaxi pads2 and m-st. For CD900ST, it's really hard to find any thing that sounds on par with the thin stock pads. For M1ST, I found Yaxi Pads2 work the best, super laidback, super...

    [FIIO K11]Truly Balanced, Truly Brilliant! Desktop DAC and Headphone Amplifier

    This thing has too many problems. Every 10 or 20 seconds at a fixed pattern, it skips a few milliseconds, and you hear a clear discontinuity. My dell laptop don't do any of those.

    [FIIO K11]Truly Balanced, Truly Brilliant! Desktop DAC and Headphone Amplifier

    Just got K11, updated to V122. Observations: 1. when music starts it pops, when music stops it pops, so basically, there are two pops for every bit of silence, 2. while playing, it clips and pops here and there sometimes every a couple seconds sometimes longer, 3. sound is clean, 4. menu is...

    Sony MDR-CD900ST, why don't these get more love?

    Got my CD900ST a couple weeks ago and did the folding mode using the extension strips from a pair of MDR-V6. There is that balance and rawness in it that's really unique to it. I also tried the Yaxi pads 2, m-st pads. I think the stock pads sounds the best. Sometimes, it does sounds like it's...

    Sony MDR-MV1

    Great review and comparison! Is HD600 that bright? If the curve is real, I would guess it'd sound like MDR-7506. I don't find MV1's treble fatiguing. But it's not laidback either. If there is any harshness due to 6-8k bump, it'd be when people banging cymbals too hard.

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    There is something alarming in your review. You said FT3 has more deep and detailed bass and yet 660S2 has warmer vocal. It's not easy to do that. This to me indicates superior technical accuracy. Just wait for ChiFi headphones catching up and crashing the market.

    Sony MDR-M1ST - Sony's 2019 Studio Monitor Headphone

    Guys, try the Yaxi stPad2. They work better than the m-st pads. And I think will work even better after sometime when the pads get squashed down a couple millimeters. I didn't like it at all in stock form, uncomfortable and congested sound. Now, it's very good.

    Didn't know that. Will certainly try Yaxi blue and right pads.

    Sony MDR-MV1

    Since not many people answered your question about movies, here is my preference. I only have had a few, so take it with a grain of salt. MDR-MV1 > HD660S > HD660S2 > Z7M2 > 1AM2 The bass, sub-bass, and imaging in MV1 beat the rest easily.

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    When I first got S2, I was really excited and used it alone for a whole month to prep my hearing. I was expecting that when I put 660S back on again it would be totally dismissed. That did not happen. I remember my first impression was that it got spacious and not hugging my head anymore. The...

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    I have a Topping DX3PRO+ as a reference and use Qudelix 5K most of the time as I sometime play with EQ. When I just got S2, there were indeed moments I found S2 amazing. But after I immediately switched to the S, it was already there. So, it could be memory retention that erased any difference...

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    If anyone is interested in a comparison between 660S and 660S2, this is my impression after 3 months of daily use and comparison. The S2 is basically the same as 660S with a distorted stage. Sound alone, they are very close. Some times I feel one sounds really good and switch to the other and I...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    Neither 660S and S2 is fatiguing for me, but I do find the S easier for speech. I spend hours on vtubers every day so I pay a lot of attention to the balance of voice. I find the bass on S2 is closer and more forward than 660S, so some male vtubers sound a little booming to me. I don't plan to...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    Do you think that's because of the extra bass or treble making S2 less easy going than 660S?

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L67SD95 I have this 3.5 single ended cable and it works. So, I guess the HC1 would work.
