    Looking for a mp3 player reccomendation

Sennheiser also have an app on Android 8 or later and iOS 13 or later that let you manage some settings on the earbuds.

    Looking for a tube amp for the Sennheiser HD 800, warm sounding if possible (~500$)

    Hello   I just got the Sennheiser HD 800.   I love them, very accurate sound. I drive them with my O2+ODAC from JDS Labs, but the problem is that they sound TOO accurate sometimes, depending on the song. I was looking for a good tube amp for them that would make them sound warmer, to reduce...

    Heed CanAmp

    I've heard that the Heed Canamp sounds amazing (awesome sinergy) with the AKG 701/702, is it true ?   Sorry for the thread resurrection. Found the thread via a search.

    How would the Matrix M Stage sound with these headphones ? (Or more like, how would these headphones sound like with the amp ! ^^) Right now I have these in mind: Matrix M-Stage Schiit Asguard II JDS Labs O2+ODAC Combo Schiit Magni

    I also happen to have the Senns HD 650 and AKG K702 (The same sounding as a 701 but with a removable cord)

    So right now I'm thinking about either a Meier Corda JAZZ or a Schiit Asgard II. I've heard a lot about the Asgard II not sounding as good as the first one, so I think I'll go with the Corda Jazz.

    I don't want to spend more than 500$ CA for the moment. The soloist cost too much unfortunatly.

    So, with my 2 headphones in mind, which one of these two amp would you guys reccomend ? The Schiit Asgard 2 or the Heed Canamp ?

    Does one amp can do both and well ? I don't feel like having 2 headphone amps for my 2 cans ^^

    Bottlehead crack WITH speedball upgrade questions.

    Hi Head-Fiers !   I've been told that this combo is amazing for the Seenheiser HD 650. The thing is that I also have a pair of AKG K702. Would they work nicely with this amp too ?   What about the characteristics of the amp ? I mean, if it's a DIY amp, since we're not all THAT experimented...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

      Push pull means that there's 2 transistors working, one NPN and the other PNP. The NPN works on the positive part of the signal and the PNP works on the negative part.

    Well, only tried my 650s with the Asus Xonar Essence STX I, so I can't really tell, but I don't hear the so called ''veil'' that everyone talks about. I hear piano, violon, harp well enough, and I love listening to Rush with those.

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Far from indestructibe, it is easily breakable. Some parts can be replaced, but still, it can be a hassle.   Especially the hair thin wires and the connector springs.   It can be done though, but you need to be VERY carefull. I wouldn't suggest doing it if you don't feel safe.

    Well, to be sure of the model, it needs to be openend, which can be tedious for some.   Oldest to newest, left to right

    DAC/Amp or PC sound card to drive headphone?

    I personally use the ASUS Xonar Essence STX I with my Sennheisers HD650. These cans got an impedance of 300 Ohms, and the card can drive headphones up to 600 Ohms.   I invite you to check the specs.    http://www.asus.com/ca-en/Sound_Cards_and_DigitaltoAnalog_Converters/Xonar_Essence_STX/

    Using Sennheisers HD 650 with the Asus Xonar Essence STX, and looking to ''flatten'' the response.

    I know that, but it doesn't mean that because the EQ is flat that the sound coming out of your cans is flat.   What I mean is really to try, at my best, to put all the frequencies at the same amplitude.   Well, I'm trying to ''balance'' my headphones.

    Hi there !   As the title says, I'm currently using Sennheisers HD 650 with the ASUS Xonar Essence STX (Version 1 by the way), and I'm  looking for the easiest way to ''flatten'' the response of the headphones.   Thank you   Alan
