But HD 650 has not the 6 Khz peak. Compare: http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/SennheiserHD650.pdf http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/SennheiserHD800.pdf

I have the Sony MDR MA900 (very open design, it have the holes in the pads) - and it virtually does not amplify this noise, so I hear it not louder than without headphones, and that is what I consider a good result for headphones. Quote: No, I do not chew a gum at all. It is "so critical"...

I am not sure if I understood you correctly - I would like if you would add a little more words to your answer.

I can not imagine how can you not hear yourself chewing with your closed-back headphones (e.g. Sennheiser HD 8 DJ), but thanks anyway.

Fearless1, I don't ask you to answer exactly how it would feel on me. But if a few people would asnwer the question "did you notice low-frequency chewing noise amplification on low loud levels?", I would able to make a good prognosis for myself.

ColtMrFire, I would not ask if it would not be important for me. I listen to music only while eating, and I do not love listening too loud. So, if it's "about nothing" for you, does not mean it's "about nothing" for me. I have a two pairs of open headphones and noticed a big difference between...

Of course I understand this. The question was deeper. Regardless of a music's loudness, there is still a big variation may exist among different headphones in how it deals with chewing noise. At second, I have to say, my question was not about "outside sounds" but rather about inside sounds...

Has anyone tried listening the HD800 while eating? Does it have noticeable effect of amplifying low frequencies of chewing noise, like many other open headphones? Just in case: I understand that this effect is far less than for closed headphones.

I have the Sony MDR-MA 900 and it just fine for a meal-time (not to be misread as "metal time" :) ) - low frequencies of chewing noise are not getting amplified by the phones' housing, unlike some others Over-Ear Open Headphones (not to say about closed ones). Probably the reason is that the...

Unfortunately no, I have not found anything portable, but I have not searched it thoroughly.

I asked almost the same question about month ago, and answer is "no": http://www.head-fi.org/t/732171/creative-sound-blaster-e5-headphone-amp-usb-dac-with-otg-toslink-aptx-recording-more/2190#post_13196676

Can I have different EQ settings for right and left channel? It would be great since my left ear has not-so-good hearing on some frequencies.
