Which Headphone is next on your "To Buy" list?
Sennheiser HE60. As soon as a decent one pops up for sale I'm on it. Providing I can still happily pay for one. Probably should get an electrostat amp too. Maybe a Stax amp and earspeaker combo... old lambda perhaps? Feeling that electrostat urge...- ru57y

Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II
Played my mum some "Wish You Were Here" recently with my *portable* Fiio E17 and HD650s. She'd never heard anything like it and promptly cried. Planning on getting her a nice set of cans for her birthday and a PMP loaded with High-Resolution files from her yoof.- ru57y

Worst headphones in the world?
New one - Denon AH-W150 I was disappoint. not 2 weeks after getting them and only about 3 hours on there the left earbud fell off. Sound quality was BASS, BASS and a little bit of mid. Bluetooth worked a pro if they were within a metre of the device and you couldn't have them under your...- ru57y

Fiio E5 for HD650?
as is the law with audio - I've picked up an e17 and it sounds so much nicer. It's a fair bit more but totally worth it. Hooked it up to the '9 too and that sounded rather spiffy. E17 or a higher out improves the heck out them. People aren't lying when they say how much these things change...- ru57y

currently: Battlefield 4 (PS4) - looks natty and sounds lush on my 650's hooked up with an e17 via optical. sweet! Tomb Raider (PS4) - as above, just 100%ed it so probably will go on my shelf of stuff I've played to death. Outlast (PS4) - not very pretty but the sound is perfect. scares...- ru57y

WORST headphone you ever heard?
I treasured them hoping they would one day sound like heaven but the day never came and as such caused mucho bitterness. I found them way too muddy, ridiculously comfortable but the bass was overpowering and lacking in any oomph, seemed way too flat. Felt like I wasted my £70 back in 2008...- ru57y

PC gaming headphone setup help.
I've used Sony's Pulse headset, which does the job and works great on PC/Mac + you can wire it in. pretty comfy aside from the weird leatherette stuff on the band, not as comfy for excessively long sessions. Have a ridiculously comfy pair of Razer Tiamat 2.2's, which are so light and...- ru57y

WORST headphone you ever heard?
yeah bro! I love my XBA-30's :D they seriously rock my socks when I'm out and about and am too scared I'll get mugged wearing my 650's. My pulse headset for gaming is ok for LOUD NOISES BUT worst headphones - the POS $5 Sony pack in 'buds I got with my voice recorder. Not only...- ru57y

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Shame! I don't have enough things made of CF :( @jimmers - yeah there's definitely something in there. compared to my HD558's they're feather-light. All my stuff gets scratched up from excessive use anyway after a few years so I'll let you know what's lurking under that luxurious paint! ...- ru57y

Fiio E5 for HD650?
Well... I've got a pair of HD650's, Yes I have walked around Auckland with them on paired to my E5 and clip - they sound great. The volume needs to be fairly up there, the Fiio is capable of driving them, you won't get perfect sound but compared to all the other headphones I've got, they still...- ru57y

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Seriously, with my recent purchase of some HD650's, everything sounds a bit rubbish in comparison, I love them so much! I'd wear them everywhere if I could. That being said, for gaming I'm still partial to my dumb-as-hell razer tiamats... there's something about that excessive bass that makes...- ru57y

Quote: Actually... the Alien 3 special edition on the Blu Ray/DVD is actually pretty good, really dark and evil, thoroughly disjointed and not that bad a movie. Won't ever beat the original but at least it's better than Resurrection. Sorry Joss Whedon fans.- ru57y

Sound Quality in Itunes
Depends what you listen to, extremely heavy and extremely soft sounds, for me, have definite unintended distortion at peaks and busy moments... Depends on your setup if you can hear that though. If space is relatively unlimited or you want to archive off your CD's lossless is the...- ru57y
