Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
Did you manage to get to 4 hours or did the right one not last that long?- sardinemaster

Sounds promising! Please report back on battery life and how they behave themselves in the gym. Also, could you comment on the microphone quality for calls? Thanks in advance.- sardinemaster

Sounds nice! Don't think I'll be going for the tube though. Tube makes it sound warmer right?- sardinemaster

Sound Card + Amp + Speakers
Wow, had no idea, always thought the 598 was older than the 600. That's very interesting, good to know! I think it does, but if you could just confirm : https://www.asus.com/microsite/mb/ROG-supremefx-gaming-audio/?open=a2,b1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7#supremefx These should be the...- sardinemaster

Sound Card + Amp + Speakers
I'm glad you corrected me - you cleared up some wrong ideas I have had for a while now. Regarding surround sound and the soundstage in general, the HD600s have been criticized for having a narrower soundstage than their predecessor (HD598) and their brother (HD650). I'd like to try and change...- sardinemaster

Sound Card + Amp + Speakers
Oh my bad! That's what I get for glancing through the documentation. I doubt the soundcard will drop voltage, my power supply will largely suffice for my whole rig (hopefully that's what you meant). Regarding the 2 volts and the distortion/noise is there any specific way to avoid this or is it...- sardinemaster

Sound Card + Amp + Speakers
Ah ok, thanks! So there is no need for a dedicated sound card, the on board audio is good enough? Or did you not recommend any because you agree with ProtegeManiac's recommendation. This will be my motherboard btw: Asus - ROG MAXIMUS X HERO (WI-FI AC) ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Thanks for all your...- sardinemaster

Sitting on the table is exactly where I want it to be! That is only the amp, right? Any particular sound card to go with it? Thanks!- sardinemaster

Sound Card + Amp + Speakers
My current HD 600 have a sensitivity of 102dB, so they should do fine for the sound card, right? And as you said no need for the amp. I might eventually upgrade my headphones but for now they are working perfectly! Regarding the headphones I will look into those, good and cheap is what I'm...- sardinemaster

Sound Card + Amp + Speakers
Hello! I am going to be investing in a new computer soon (black Friday/cyber Monday sales) and I want to finally get a good audio setup going. I currently am using the HD600. I'd like a sound card and amp combo that does justice to my headphones. I've been using them on my laptop for about a...- sardinemaster

Battle Of The Flagships (58 Headphones Compared)
Hello, First of all let me thank you for this amazing list. It was a lot of work, but I'm sure it has helped many people so it was worth it! :) Secondly, I'd like to say that you've finally convinced me of buying the HD 600. They are in my price range and it feels right that my first serious...- sardinemaster

COMPARISON / REVIEW (Part Deux) : A tale of two Sennheisers – HD600 vs HD650
Thanks! I have indeed forgotten about the 598, as most people have more or less said the same as you. I think I'll most likely start with the 600 and maybe later leap towards another headphone! Kind regards.- sardinemaster

Pioneer SA 3000 vs Philips FA911/00s
Hello and Happy New Year! I have both these amps at home and would like to put them to use, mainly to not have to spend some money on an amp. I'm set on buying the Sennheiser HD 600 or HD 650 and would like to use an amp to put them to good use; instead of connecting them to my less than...- sardinemaster
