The way you did it is the way I did it too, that way you loosen them up gradually and evenly without affecting the headphone's shape. You could actually deform the whole headphone's construction if you don't manage to bend the metal sliders symmetrically. Also knew one where one slider didn't...

I'll never understand why people get offended when someone doesn't like something they like. It's just one's opinion, you're neither right nor wrong for disagreeing. Let's at least agree that people are ALLOWED to dislike something? Sometimes it feels like that's not the case anymore.

Idk I'd probably give the 660S2 a try, seems like the sort of fun headphone that might do it for you. I have the 58x which has a very similar tuning and they're very fun to listen to, extremely addictive. Nice bass as well, I have no issue following basslines and getting a nice punch for edm.

My 58x jubilee, especially because we can't know if drop will discontinue them or how long Drop will continue to exist for. But they also sound amazing too.

Excuse me, but why aren't we supposed to compare this headphone to the HD600. Almost every single newly released headphone is often compared to the HD600, and it's for very good reasons, main one being the HD600 is super popular and very loved. It's okay to compare the 660s2 for example to the...

Very interested to pick these up when they release, the price point is very doable. I'm just concerned about the longer term comfort with these, I don't have the best experience with that style of earpads.

Maybe you'd care to read my my review of the 558? :)

Not sure where the idea that there's two different sounding versions of these even comes from? As far as I know there is nothing to back this up except someone just saying it. The ivory and black versions are supposed to sound the same as well. But I think these are nice headphones, very cool...

Yeah, I have a number of amps in my house. I also have a big vintage Marantz amp but none of them are useful for the Fidelios. If you have a decent computer output I would really recommend that, or if you like to use your phone it should also go very well. :headphones:

But why you need an amp? I just run my X1 and X2 from the PC motherboard, sounds great.

no

Cool video, that's the first time I've had diffuse field explained to me. So basically any headphone with exceptional timbre you could assume is a diffuse field design? Those guys are serious headphone nerds lol, love it. I think Sennheiser has been really exciting in the last five years, it...

Yeah, still two more weeks. I have seriously considered it and honestly am considering the unthinkable more and more :grin: the money might be better spent on trying out an HD660S2 when they drop in price a bit, idk! I was just playing Mass Effect 3 and when I fire the black widow on my...

560S :confused:

That's how I'm feeling too at the moment. I've owned the HD560S for two weeks now and I'm just not getting "it". I've read from a number of people that these need time to grow on you, so I'm hoping that may still happen for me as well. As it stands I find the 58X's tuning much more to my liking...

Easy recommendation :smile_phones: Incredible value.

I have about five or six, half of them (dt990, dt770, Fidelio X2) I don't really use anymore but I'm not wanting to sell them either. The need just isn't that great and even if i sell them five years from now the value will probably still be about the same. I wouldn't consider myself a hoarder...

Maybe you made a promise that you don't want to keep... It happens, just be honest and tell them. And a lesson learned I guess.

They're a bit too heavy in the treble for me, but I think the subbass, midbass, lower and upper midrange are very well balanced. So I think they're a pretty good shot at neutrality. But what really sounds neutral still depends on each individual, not on the harman curve. Like, if you think the...

Yo Grouch, HD650 vs HD600 :punch:? Go :L3000:
