    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I've only recently got a new amp actually   but tbh I don't mind the little sizzle they have. Was just curious if they changed sound slightly at like 100+ hours.

    The Official Beyerdynamic T1 Impressions and Discussion Thread

    New owner of the T1 here very happy but they seem just a little tiny bit bright but I like it. I have only used them for around 10 hours so far, do they "burn in"? or is it just a myth with the T1?

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    Ordered a Corda Classic for my HD600/HE500 yesterday as they are on sale atm, I currently use an M Stage amp which is a warm amp and I wanted something more neutral. Anyone heard or use a Corda with the HD600?

    [REVIEW] HiFiMAN HE-500 vs Sennheiser HD600

    Yep the HD600 are keepers for sure, they are an headphone that if you sold you would want back soon enough. Will be interesting when the new amp arrives to see how they improve. I also find with the HD600 they are actually less forgiving than the HE500 when it comes to poorly recorded music too...

    [REVIEW] HiFiMAN HE-500 vs Sennheiser HD600

    Just saw this thread again and I have been using the HE500 all the time since I got them a few months ago and decided to get the HD600's out for the first time in a while and they still make me go "wow". The crystal clear mids just cannot be beaten even by the HE500, especially the upper mids...

    Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent.

    Just ordered the OPA627AP from coolbaby11 on Ebay for my M Stage that I am using with my HE-500, I have heard good things about changing the op-amp so I thought I would try it out but what should I really expect to be improved compared to the stock op-amp with the HE-500?

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    I looked at the LD 6 for sale but I was put off by the dodgy transistor as I am not dab hand in soldering so I would not be able to replace it if it went kaput.   Quote:   I also found this in the for sale forum: http://www.head-fi.org/t/662862/audio-gd-sa-31-headphone-amp-preamp...

    Would you recommend Half-Life and/or Half-Life 2?

    Yeah I agree with oqvist, gameplay matters more with games. Your eyes/ears come accustomed after the initial "wow this looks/sounds awful" and you will become engrossed in what your playing if the game itself is good. System Shock 2 is a perfect example as is the Baldurs Gate series. If it's all...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    Quote:   It drives them to levels I would never dream of listening to tho but it's known for being warm which goes well with my DT990 but not so much with the HE500. What amp would you recommend? My budget is around £300/$450...

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    I have been thinking of upgrading my M Stage amp with a more neutral sounding amp, I was thinking of the Corda Jazz. Would that be an upgrade and go well with the HE500? or does anyone else have other suggestions, my budget is around £300.

    Would you recommend Half-Life and/or Half-Life 2?

    Yes I have Ep 1 & 2 and they are pretty good, not as good as Half Life 2 but they are definitely worth playing if you enjoy Half Life 2. Each Ep lasts for around 5 hours on normal.

    Would you recommend Half-Life and/or Half-Life 2?

    Yes, chewy it does have it missing but I am pretty sure they are working on it and will be added soon enough.

    Would you recommend Half-Life and/or Half-Life 2?

    I also forgot, there is a mod called Black Mesa which is Half Life 1 remade with the Half Life 2 engine and it's practically identical to Half Life 1 but uses the Source engine of Half Life 2. Check that out.

    Would you recommend Half-Life and/or Half-Life 2?

    If it's just sound you're focused on rather than gameplay then yes, I would skip Half Life 1 but definitely give the Bioshock series a try. A few other games to try are Battlefield 3, Max Payne 3,  Dead Space 1 & 2, Alan Wake, Amnesia Dark Descent, Penumbra, Mass Effect series, Hitman Absolution...

    Would you recommend Half-Life and/or Half-Life 2?

    I would recommend both, play Half life 1 first then Half life 2. Half Life 1 can be a little frustrating at certain points in the game but it is still worth playing. Half life 2 you MUST play, seriously, it's fantastic and it is still better than most fps games that are released today even...
