Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
As a stand-alone solution, I agree with the comments about volume levels and channel imbalance.

New Member Introductions thread
Hello all - my name is Mike, from North Carolina. Been at the two channel game for quite awhile, tried a set of Sennheiser HD598SR with a Schitt Magni 3 last year and it wasn't my cup of tea. Fast forward to the end of the year and I picked up a set of HE4XX from Massdrop. Driving them with...- princem
