Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
Hi everyone....I have a question so basic, it's embarrassing. But here goes. I own the 660's as well as the 650's. As you know, each has a cable leading to each driver. The question is, do the cables need to be plugged into the socket in a certain way? Like, with the "L' and 'R' facing out, or...- HD_Dude

A Shout Out to Sennheiser
Hi again.... I'll admit I'm tough on headphones. I do a national radio show, and I'm always on the road, in and out of professional recording studios and top radio stations. My beloved Sennheiser HD 650s, which I love in the recording booth, give me pure 'velvet' in my voice. Using a Neumann...- HD_Dude

B&O H9 Discussion and Impressions thread
Having a bit of fun before I watch the Superbowl. In Starbucks, doing a wireless headphone shootout. Testing overall ANC as well as musical qualities. Disclaimer - I do like a good hard-hitting bass. If the artist calls for a sub hit - I want to hear it. As much as I enjoy my HIFIMAN...- HD_Dude

B&O H9 Discussion and Impressions thread
Thanks for the reviews. But I wouldn't pay any attention to them, good or bad. None whatsoever. Because you can read reviews of any Bluetooth headphones on the market....and some reviewer will hate them, while another loves them. Just today, I read a review of the Sony 1000x...- HD_Dude

B&O H9 Discussion and Impressions thread
My replacement H9's arrived today....(my first set was DOA) AMAZING! I love 'em. I have been a happy H8 owner since they came out, but the full ear cups of the H9 are awesome, and the sound is beyond good. Listening via Bluetooth to Google Play music on a Sony Xperia Z2 tablet, with...- HD_Dude

They don't fold into a 'football' shape, like the Sonys, Bose or Senn Momentum. But they do, in fact, fold flat. The earcups rotate so that they provide a relatively small footprint. Great for backpacks or laptop cases.- HD_Dude

B&O H9 Discussion and Impressions thread
Well, I tried to reset the headphones, and nothing. Still dead. I plugged them into a/c power, though....and tried again. Eventually, while holding the power button all the way up, the light turned from blue to red.... But when I released it, it started a cycle of green - orange - green...- HD_Dude

Hi Even though my H9s arrived DOA, I did try them in my headphone cases. This one below fits perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/UltraShell-Headphones-OLUFSEN-SoundTrue-Carrying/dp/B019XLBZXM/ref=cm_cr-mr-title DO NOT get the GoCase!!!!! I did - and so did lots of others - and we...- HD_Dude

My H9s arrived today - DOA. Not happy about this. When you push the slider switch up, nothing happens. No lights at all. I ran all the usual troubleshooting steps.... - Did a battery pull, and re-inserted it - Checked the battery by plugging in a USB adapter - full green light. - Tried the...- HD_Dude

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
One more question..... Really enjoying the 400is....incredible clarity. I'm hearing things I've never heard before, in music I've listened to many times. So, I have a pair, with the 1/8" pin connectors, not the screw-in connectors. Anyone have a recommendation for a replacement cable...- HD_Dude

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
That was me, and your comments were very helpful. The studio production is for a talk radio show, so I'm mostly listening to voices. They use killer mics - U87s - and with the Senns, when I recorded tracks my voice was like velvet. Lots of depth and baritone colors. Loved 'em. I'm trying...- HD_Dude

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
I've never tried a hybrid tube amp. Lots of solid state amps, but never a hybrid. Anyone here have a favorite they they're using with the 400i? One thing I hope an amp like that will bring out, is bass the way the artist intended it. I don't want the headphones to introduce bass on their...- HD_Dude

Thanks, drwlf & DavidA As for bulletproof headphones, I do have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT48e, which are built like a tank. Trouble is, they sound awful with the board and amps we use at the studio....very muddy. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks again.- HD_Dude

Thanks for the reply. Yes, these won't be living room headphones. The Senns lasted about a year. I appreciate the other suggestions. As for the Leckington, no changes. Using it just the way Nick sent it to me. I just got the 400is a few minutes ago, so I won't be able to try the...- HD_Dude

Hi again, Replacing some broken HD650's with the 400is. I need something that can take daily travel....pack 'em up in a backpack, take 'em out at a recording studio, put 'em away when the session's finished. I'm careful with my headphones but it was apparently too rough for the Senns. The...- HD_Dude

Sennheiser HD650s Going Bad
Hi again, I use Senn HD650's daily in a professional recording studio. Love 'em. But a few months back I started hearing big problems - sound cutting out of one earpiece, and the other....distorted sound, etc. Not all the time, but enough that I had to look into repairs. I thought it...- HD_Dude

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H8 (Wireless Noise Cancelling On-Ear Headphones)
Just for the sake of experimentation, I've ordered a Plugable Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter. Perhaps the B&O and the Dell just don't play together well. We'll see!- HD_Dude

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H8 (Wireless Noise Cancelling On-Ear Headphones)
Just bought these - thinking they might be better than the Definitive Technology Symphony 1. Used them for hours last night with my Samsung 4K UHDTV...phenomenal! Today, tried them in Starbucks with my brand new Dell XPS 15...they would connect with Bluetooth, then their status dropped from...- HD_Dude
