    Affordable Balanced Cable for Sennheiser HD650

    Hi, late to the party. I recently had to replace my HD 6xx cables, since they seemed to be dying on me. Every time I tilted my head, the sound would cut out in one ear. I bought one of THESE off Amazon...

    Comment by 'Corvin25' on listing 'Fostex "Dekoni Blue" Headphones'

    The blue color IS nice. But it's mostly because of their inner tuning. As opposed to the more analytical, ultra-clarity sound of the base model, the blues have a warmer sound signature, giving a less exhausting, more pleasant listening experience, more suited to pleasurable listening than...

    Hello! Having achieved what I feel is total perfection of Dynamic, Open-Backed headphones in the HD6XX, I am interested in dipping my toes into the world of planar magnetic headphones. And from what I've heard from many sources, the Fostex "Dekoni Blue" headphones are a solid choice, boasting a...

    The headphones sold to me were exactly as described, no nasty surprises. Majestyk was very clear and pleasant and knowledgeable, and shipped them quickly. No complaints whatsoever! :)

    HD6xx short cable recommendation?

    Hmm..... Fair enough. Then I guess with a few exceptions, any cables will do. In that case, I'll start saving up for the ones I think will match my desired aesthetic then!

    HD6xx short cable recommendation?

    Fair enough! But here's the question. I HEARD that if you cheap out on cables, you could actually do serious damage to your amps or headphones. I certainly don't want that, but is there any truth to that? Or is it just an exaggeration? I mean like, "AliExpress" levels of cheaping out, not the...

    HD6xx short cable recommendation?

    That does look very professional! Looks very similar to this guy's work. I'd personally prefer it in red, if I had to choose just one color. https://periaptcables.com/products/4-type-4-dual-2-pin-sen-hd-series?variant=13627716534377

    HD6xx short cable recommendation?

    Hey, I remember you, hi! :) Well, I don't see any Weishan cables on amazon.ca, just those awful NewFantasia ones. What about actual customized ones, like... from this guy? https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/965171458/custom-cable-for-sennheiser-hd650-hd6xx It's pricey, but if it is actual good...

    Hello. I'm looking for a Sennheiser HD600-series headband for my new HD6xx headphones. I don't need new speakers/drivers, just to be clear. I only want a headband with the "forks," pictured below. The reason I'm looking for them, despite not having broken one myself, is because I want to do a...

    HD6xx short cable recommendation?

    Hello! I currently have some Sennheiser HD6xx headphones on the way, and I'm just wondering if it's worth it to get some custom cables for it. Preferably 5 ft, since my amp is barely 2.5 feet away from my head at the computer. I see a few cheap results on Amazon.ca, but I don't have much...

    Sennheiser HD599 vs HD6xx? Trying to decide.

    All right. I think at my current budget the 6xx is the best option, even if they charge $50 in import/duty fees. Thank you for your help and insight. ;u; Now I just need to wait on a response from the drop staff to see if I can get any sort of discount.

    Sennheiser HD599 vs HD6xx? Trying to decide.

    Hurm. Seems the only "deal" on them in Canada right now is here, and it's not much of a sale. About $376 USD. https://www.long-mcquade.com/8293/Pro-Audio---Recording/Headphones/Sennheiser/HD-600-Dynamic-Hi-Fi-Pro-Stereo-Headphones.htm And the 650 is even more expensive, $471 USD...

    Sennheiser HD599 vs HD6xx? Trying to decide.

    Well I'm not exactly a MUSICIAN, so my interest is purely in GOOD, CLEAR sound, not absolute mechanical, technical precision. But you are absolutely helping me to make an informed decision on this, and it is very much appreciated, thank you! Is the 6xx really that much better than the 58x...

    Hello. I'm looking to buy some good condition/like new (or even just plain new) Sennheiser HD6xx headphones! I'm asking here because I sadly missed out on the Black Friday/Boxing Day deals, since I did not know about DROP, and for the longest time thought they were some sort of scam company. I...

    Sennheiser HD599 vs HD6xx? Trying to decide.

    Thank you for responding! Hmmmm. Interesting. You're the only person across multiple websites to say I shouldn't go for the 6xx over the 599! o.o This intrigues me. And I have heard that the 6xx soundstage is a little narrow compared to some other models. I am looking for "fun," but not if I...

    Grado 325i vs 325x, and earpads

    https://gradocanada.ca/fr/service-repair Canadian prices right here. It's well under the cost of buying new ones. Since they only have the "x" generation of SR80/SR325, I'm basically getting a free upgrade to my drivers, as well as improved braided cables. Seems like a good deal to me.

    Grado 325i vs 325x, and earpads

    They were placed in storage for a long time. I don't know why they are so mangled! But I do know that the wire on the earcup kinda broke open from normal use. It must have been creased or something. In fact I think this might be the reason why they switched to braided cables.

    Sennheiser HD599 vs HD6xx? Trying to decide.

    Hi, I figured this would be literally the best forum to ask this question. :) So last month I purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD599 headphones. Got them on sale. Love the color, love the sound, nothing is "wrong" with them. However, almost every forum post, YouTube review, and...

    Grado 325i vs 325x, and earpads

    Hello. VERY infrequent poster here. Not really an "expert," but I do love good-sounding music. I found some old headphones that I hadn't worn in years, An old SR80 and SR325i. I was thinking of getting them repaired by a Grado-certified technician, since they both are in dire need of repairs...

    Sound Blaster Z + Beyerdynamic DT 770 250ohm... Do I need an amp?

    Thank you for the responses! Hmm. I THINK I understand... sorta... So I guess that means that the sound volume/quality will be comparable the louder I set the volume for the DT-770... because the M50x gets louder exponentially faster, since they require significantly less power? Do I have...

    Sound Blaster Z + Beyerdynamic DT 770 250ohm... Do I need an amp?

    Hi. I've been popping on and off of this forum over the years whenever I need a second opinion about gear! Right now I'm using a pair of Beyerdynamic 250 Ohm DT 770 PRO headphones. Meaning I had to upgrade my sound card a couple years ago (Sound Blaster Z) to make full use of them. But lately...

    Velour vs. Leather for earpads..

    Oh I agree totally. That's why I'm considering genuine sheepskin. Was just wondering if anyone had opinions on it.
