The Sennheiser HD580 Impressions Thread
Got lucky and picked up these bad boys (Irish version) for just 40€. The pads need to be replaced (Any recommendations? Was planning on getting the replacement earpads from Thomann), but overall this was better than any Black Friday deal could have been.- thekenta

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
After Drop hasn't put out the same good discount for the 6xx as last year, I decided to make my life easier and just purchase a pair of HD600. Any reason why I shouldn't go for the new Romanian versions? I do prefer the look of the matte coating.- thekenta

The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value
"Through my Beyer 990s this poorly recorded sound demo sounds very lumpy. Not very natural. But I guess the planar novelty helps justify the suffering." :smirk:- thekenta

The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value
Thomann is great, go for it. With the Sundaras you'll also feel better with their extended 3-year warranty since many people are complaining about their pads falling apart.- thekenta

He probably means you can order them again. They were available on Amazon Germany a couple of days before release and then delisted completely.- thekenta

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
What do you guys think about some people preferring the new 560s to the 6xx? Did any of you who love the 6xx/650 get the chance to compare them without any bias? The enormous hypetrain makes me a bit suspicious as I'm one of the people who absolutely loathed the 599 (bloated bass, piercing...- thekenta

CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest
The Chinese IEM bug always bites me around this time a year. Originally wanted to try the BL05s, but couldn't resist jumping on the Tin T2 Plus since I somehow got them for only 35$ on Ali thanks to a coupon. Can't wait to try them out. Only thing I'm worried about are the MMCX connections...- thekenta

The Hi-Fi + Hi-Res Audiophiles' Bluetooth Headphone Adapter Thread - [17.Oct.21] iFi GO Blu impression added
Thanks, guys. Decided on the BTR3K because of size factor, longer battery life and me probably not using the 2.5mm jack.- thekenta

The Hi-Fi + Hi-Res Audiophiles' Bluetooth Headphone Adapter Thread - [17.Oct.21] iFi GO Blu impression added
Can some of you guys perhaps help me out? It has finally come to it: Had to upgrade my phone, of course no headphone jack. Had the BTR5 on my list, but now came across a video on Youtube basically saying it's sounding bad and the UP4 is the superior device. Now I don't know how credible this...- thekenta

JDS Labs ATOM Amp
They even ship from Holland, so McLambo should be happy. haha Alternatively I'll throw in https://www.schiit.co.uk/ since they have it in stock. Gonna go for the Heresy myself since it costs me 30€ less than the Atom. So thanks to everyone in this thread that put the Schiit on my radar.- thekenta

JDS Labs ATOM Amp
I feel you. It's the exact same reason I'm considering the SP200 as well since us Europeans can get it for around 265€ on Amazon. Also keep in mind that JDS charges around 35$ for shipping and it could take forever if the customs get a hold of it. Would maybe be safer to go the EU route in the...- thekenta

Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread
Funny enough, that was the case. Solved it by covering the vents. The bass extension makes me listen to them at a lower volume and thus the treble at the high end isn't as piercing anymore.- thekenta
