    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    I like elex and I am happy to have it but I would not replace my 660s2 with elex for sure.

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    I also believe that they do silent reviews in general throughout the years. Obviously, will not admit it but this comes naturally with the knowledge they acquire through years and improvement in materials. The reason i bought my 58x at first place was not zeos that I never believed him but a...

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    Maybe they did it in order to have an excuse to take 660s out of production or they did not want to raise expectations this time too much in order not to have a kind of tyll lukewarm reception again...:)

    iFi Audio GO Bar Kensei... The Ultimate GO Bar Has Arrived!

    I have not the gryphon nor the Mojo 2 to compare but I have the xdsd and the xcan and I prefer the Kensei without any doubt.

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    They are and they aren't. Tonality is different and the technicalities much more improved in s2. The s2 has a kind of 650 flavour whereas the s1 has a more 600 flavour. I find the timbre though so similar between them that someone, initially at least, can find them as very similar headphones...

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    Well understood but on that spirit all the 6 series including 58x are sidesteps since each one has something that the other does not. Except for the s2 which i find a considerable improvement to s1 given the modest expectations assumed from the naming convention i.e. version 2. Could be easily...

    iFi Audio GO Bar Kensei... The Ultimate GO Bar Has Arrived!

    I really own apologies to ifi audio for being so late on my review ... it happens to have currently a lot of other issues and left a bit behind on my timelines. I need a bit more time to appreciate the difference that K2HD makes on and off. But regardless of K2HD i have to say this a prelude to...

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    I agree with most you say here especially the box which i adore but believe me you can see the difference with the 660s2 as small or large enough...it depends on the kind of angle you are looking. If ndh30 is much better and not worth trying s2 this is another matter and i respect your opinion.

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    The 660s is a great headphone i like it very much. I like 660s2 more but this is normal is the new version almost 6 years later. But i am happy that i have both of them. Probably Sennheiser thought that because there are kind of similar there is no space for both but can they continue sell...

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    Is it shipped now from drop with the original big box? Just curious.

    iFi Audio GO Bar Kensei... The Ultimate GO Bar Has Arrived!

    Great review and I agree with most of the points and particularly with the following comment which i found brilliantly written having one particular competitor in mind... "While it is true that some competitors, even those at a lower price point, may offer slightly more transparency and...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    KOSS is another example of a headphone with excellent tonality that you can listen for hours and be truly happy. you can only miss the technicalities when you are comparing with much more expensive headphones.

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    1) one of 58X, 660s2 or 600 since 660s2 > 660s 58X > 6XX And 600 > 6XX or everything who knows... I have been in my home country recently bringing ka17 and ifi go bar kensei, two amazing dongles for testing but being super busy with other bs stuff i just heard 20 minutes the 6xx with the...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    These headphones sound natural and they are glorious but the characterization "natural" suits more the old guard I believe, i.e. hd600, HD650 and HD6XX.

    iFi Audio GO Bar Kensei... The Ultimate GO Bar Has Arrived!

    I used to use tidal in the past and was my favourite. But then i transitioned to apple music for other reasons and when apple was full hd i was wow... Now all my library is in apple music i need to compare again the quality between the two and decide where i want to stay. The tidal price drop...

    iFi Audio GO Bar Kensei... The Ultimate GO Bar Has Arrived!

    I do not like amazon. I am not sure the keep tne hd rates constant and they are not throttling in purpose. When they started they were throttling in purpose and that was shown on the app. Then i reported that and after many years when i tried again this march they changed the app and i cannnot...

    [FiiO KA17] Mini desktop-class amp, flagship dongle is officially released!

    You may need to use the second usb port. I had similar issues with my iPhone pro 12 max. My wife's 15 pro max was working without any problems even in the desktop mode with only the main usb port.

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    I have both granvia and altura and although i like granvia i love altura. Sounds better to me and also is more managable. The granvia is an impressive lookinwise cable but is bit wide and difficult to manage when listening lying in bed sonetimes. It took me a year to appreciate the...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    Lossless makes a big difference to me with all my headphones not only 660s2. I have essentially you tube music for free because i have youtube premium but i literally never use it. Forced to pay an extra subscription to listen music elsewhere ( apple music or tidal). I wish to work for me i...

    Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Review & Measurements

    I did some comparison lately and i decided I like the altura much more. You could invest the money and buy one now and use it with an adapter (I have one) with your Mojo. I believe you will see a difference but if not you will be ready when you buy a new machine that will output balanced in...
