I know this information might be in this thread somewhere and I searched around without finding anything but is there a difference between the SZ1000/2000's that say "Z Series" and "Live Beat" on the cups?

Didn't know you use a Micro iDSD as well, it's a great little amp. Watched your SZ2000/Micro iDSD paper test video, amazing.

I wonder how the D2000 would fare considering it's supposed to be less refined than their bigger brothers. Then again, I hear that the D5000 has more bass than the D2000 overall so it probably wouldn't matter much.

Received my SZ1000's today and my first reaction was "these things are gigantic." They looked pretty big in the pictures but I always thought it was an optical illusion or something, turns out they are big. Anyway, plugged them into my iFi Micro iDSD with X Bass engaged then did some EQ'ing and...

Read through the first 75 pages of this thread and it inspired me to buy a pair of JVC SZ1000 and SZ2000 to compare, wanted to thank the original guys like HBB and cb (looks like he might be banned) for the information they've put into this thread and how passionate they are about bass. Their...

I was interested in the Q100's when I was shopping for speakers a few months ago. Some people started telling me that they found them a little on the bright side which I wasn't sure that I liked very much. Be that as it may I did find many, many good reviews on them as well as the Wharfedale's...

Saw some guy with on ear Momentum's at the market today.   They look pretty cool, I might get the full size version someday.

Just sold my RS1i's. After getting the HD650s again and listening to them for extended periods of time going back to the uncomfortable Grados wasn't a pleasant experience. Also, while I enjoy the "Grado sound" and thought the RS1i's sounded great with rock I found myself enjoying rock with the...

Not saying the CD5004 is the last word when it comes to driving the HD650 but it certainly is adequate and a lot better than I was expecting. Haven't had a chance to hear the CD6000SE or PM6004 so I cannot comment on those.

My HD650s and CD5004 sound so good together I'm actually going to put the purchase of a headphone amp on the back burner for awhile and use the money to put towards a new lens instead. Really surprised at how well the HD650s sound out of the Marantz, wasn't expecting that at all.

Thanks, good to be back. You're probably right, either way I'm glad to have the HD650s again and this time I won't be selling them.

Just took delivery on them today (Amazon was a little slow on the shipping) but these sound amazing, better than I remember. These look like the newer version, came in the new box and they have a small hologram on the right driver, I don't remember that being there before. The ones I owned...

I'll check it out. Thanks.

A lot of people enjoy the Bottlehead Crack with the HD650s, that's probably the way I'm gonna go.

Have you tried the RS1i's? From what I've read in the past it seems the original RS1's were more aggressive and hot compared to the RS1i's.

I own a pair of Grado RS1i's that I purchased awhile back mainly for rock music, they are obviously quite colored but I still appreciate the fun/exciting aspect about them. When I first bought them I was surprised I thought the treble would be hotter but I find them pretty smooth for the most...

Received an e-mail from Amazon a little while earlier stating my HD650s have shipped, can't wait. I will NOT be letting this pair go.

The HD700 seems like a very polarizing headphone. If anyone is interested in them I would definitely try before you buy. I enjoyed them well enough but it's certainly not the "new and improved HD650" a lot of people were hoping for.

Glad you enjoy your LCDs. Technically speaking I doubt anyone would tell you the HD650s are better but it seems a lot of people enjoy the presentation of the HD650s even more than headphones much higher in price, myself included. I listen to mostly jazz and the HD650 hits the nail on the head of...

The LCD-2's are a wonderful headphone and a very logical upgrade path for the HD650 user who wants to stick with a similar sound. I owned a pair (bamboo LCD-2.2s) very briefly and enjoyed them very much, a few things did bother me about them though with comfort, or the lack of, topping the list...

Seems there are a lot of people in this situation, glad I'm not alone.

These look great and finally a detachable cable.

Agreed, I sold my HD650s looking to "upgrade" but for my purposes nothing seemed to come close.  After trying a variety of headphones I came to the conclusion the HD650s are legendary IMO and that's rare in this hobby. I sold off my original pair, that was my mistake but it was ultimately a...

Yeah, I'm not really talking about the condition even though my post may have been somewhat ambiguous, I'm talking about the price $175 seems too good to be true to me and I'm thinking it might have been a typo on Amazon's part.

I sold my HD650s a few months back and have been missing them ever since especially with my jazz collection. Amazon had a pair for $175 in Like New condition that I purchased IMMEDIATELY but I'm starting to think this was a typo as the other HD650s in Like New condition are around $370, I'm...
