Thank you!

Thank you!

Is Vali 2++ with Modi 3E respectable enough for HD600, or is that not really going to reveal their potential?

We got the K371 for Christmas, and I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised. The bass punch and impact is prevalent and definitely different than I am used to. I was scared they'd sound claustrophobic, but this isn't so much the case, and the resolution is assuredly impressive. The short...

Thank y'all! <3

Thank y'all!! It's so tough for me to make big decisions. Analysis paralysis of the worst kind for certain...

Thank you. Because of my lower budget, I think the almost necessity for a Bottlehead Crack is going to keep me from buying the headphone. I am not so interested in hearing such a great headphone if it's not being driven to its potential.

Thank you! An official refurb is tempting. I don't know if I am sold yet.

Just found it, thanks!

If anyone comes across a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale for HD 600, let me know! The cheapest I see right now is $300, so that'll be the "normal" price. I am avoiding Amazon - too sketchy with counterfeits.

Any known sales for Senn HD 600 on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Is there a big thread for deals like this?

Hifiman HE400se - new in sealed/unopened label box

Awesome, thank you for the explanation. Tough decisions!!

Thank you! I have always seen where tube amps are best for HD 600, but I believe it was members in the Audio Science Review forum, or maybe a Reddit sub, that enthusiastically told me to go with SS for the most neutral/uncolored sound. They seemed to be down on the use of tube amps. Maybe due to...

Thank you! Unfortunately the amp is far out of my price range. I was hoping for $100 or $150 at the most.

Thinking about the HD 600 for Christmas as first serious cans - tried Hifiman HE400i and wasn't impressed, likely defective pair though. Can I get some entry level amp and DAC recommendations for HD 600? On the radar is Topping L30/D10s Possibly JDS Labs Atom

I really appreciate it!! <3

I really appreciate the information! <3

Thank you much, as always! I have one other question. In previous correspondence, I believe you said something about the Atom and IEMagni amps having a different sound signature. In my experience, the Atom sounded radically bassy, and the IEMagni sounded similar to a computer headphone jack...

Obviously I think the headphones are defective due to the mids sounding so bad. It's nothing to do with sound preferences.

This is great information. Thanks a lot!

If it does, I don't know how these could ever get any praise.

Hifiman followed up is now offering to replace the headphone free of charge. I don't know if they came across my two forum posts or what.

Thank you. Is it at least possible in theory that a manufacturing defect could cause the mids to sound muffled/recessed? Here is a link to the amp I used: https://jdslabs.com/product/atom-amp/
