The Apex Elevator, because the lights array remind me of an elevator's floor progress. "The Apex Elevator will deliver you to the penthouse of sound".

Try amping them, and really hear them shine.

The HD 598's are one of the greatest gaming headphones out there, and their musical soundstage is remarkable.

I'm looking for a matched set of tubes on the bright side, with good soundstage for HE500's. My Lyr is coming tomorrow, and I'd like to have another set besides the ones that come with it. I want to do some A/B compare, preferably ones that won't break the bank ( < $100 ). Any advice would be...

Changed my mind, gonna pony up for the HD700's.

Thanx a lot for the info guys. I think I'm gonna go with the HD650, any thoughts?

What would be the next logical upgrade from the HD598. I still want that big soundstage, and bright signature.

Thanks for the info jerg, and MattTCG.

Thanx jerg. I know it's off topic, but what headphones would you recommend born of those two parents (HE400+HD598)?

HE560 and HD598, any comparison? I have the HD598 and the HE400. If the HE560 is an amalgamation of those two headphones, I can sell those to help pay for it. Any advice would be well appreciated.

Also the same bright signature.

Do the HE-560's have the same intense soundstage as the HD-598's?:confused:

I thought the treble was the upper mids. When I set my EQ like this, the 400's sound incredible.  

No, velour pads.

I know it's off topic, but why is it that I have to use treble boost on my EQ to get my HE 400's to sound incredible? With that setting they sound like my Senn. HD598's with much better bass. I'm using a Sound Blaster Titanium HD > Fiio E09K on low gain setup. Any thoughts? I use Winyl, it's a...

Oops! Sorry for the faux pas, I let the moment get the better of me.

Sitting here, drinking Blue Moons and listening to Dream Theater on my HE 400's. Life is good.

Hey, I also wanted to ask if anyone knows where in Massachusetts you can try out amps (tube or s.s.).

Is it a subtle difference, or "HOLY CRAP" difference. Thanx for any help, and by the way is the mkii good for gaming.

Is the difference that substantial?

Thanks jaywillin, I hope the LD mkII pairs up well with the HE 400's i got for xmas. They sound pretty good with the E09K's, but I wanna see what the tube sound is all about. Once again man, thanx for the info.:atsmile:

Is there anyone who could help me with this, I know I'm new but I sure  would appreciate it.

I have a E09k, and wanted to know if you can hook up a Little Dot MKII to the line out. My E09k is hooked up to my Titanium hd rca out.
