Just ordered the HE6-SE (V1) open box from the Hifiman store. Also got an Arctic grill mod and an Audeze headband ready. I'm really looking forward to comparing them to my HE-500!

Excellent head-fier and buyer! Quick communication and fast payment.

Any chance anyone here owns a Hifiman HE-500 you can compare to the Tungsten? I'm considering getting the double sided version next ordering time. I love my HE-500, but I'm very curious about the Tungsten especially it being compared to hard hitting planars like the HE-6 and Caldera. Also to add...

For sale is a pair of Sennheiser IE800S IEMs. These are in like new condition, they have been used only a handful of times. I bought them new on Amazon about a year ago. All original accessories are included. Only the small size silicone tips have been used, but they have been cleaned. I’m...

I am very interested in trying out Impulcifer and HeSuVi with my KPH40. I have binaural mics and I've been using REW for a while to do my own measurements. Have you tried emulating other headphones using this method? I love the sound of my Sennheiser HD660S2 and would love to have my KPH40 sound...

I can't possibly pick just one game, but here are some all time favorites: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (Super and Gates to Infinity are also amazing) Chrono Trigger Final Fantasy IV Ori and the Blind Forest (and the sequel, Will Of the Wisps) Forza Horizon 3, 4, and 5 Super Smash...

The new version 650 and 660S2 baffles feel and look nearly identical to me. I think all models use steel mesh now. 660S2 650

I recently got a new style HD600 and the headband seems a bit more sturdy and smooth while adjusting than the S2 I got earlier last year. I'm wondering if anyone feels like the headband on their S2 is not as sturdy feeling as other newer HD600 or 650 models? Or perhaps it's just manufacturing...

So I've had the Clear MG Pro for nearly 3 years now, and in that time I've noticed an odd issue cosmetically with the grills. Turns out, there is a glue or tape underneath the grill that is exposed along the outer edges of the area where the grill is connected to the rest of the driver cup...

Thanks for the link to the thread. I'll ask there as well. Yes I did mean the Monk Plus. I used to have the smoke version, but that broke on me so I'm using what I believe is the Espresso version VE used to make (it came free with my Zen 2.0), except it doesn't have the fancy white and brown...

I received my first planar IEM, after seeing good reviews of the NiceHCK F1 Pro, I decided it would be a good cheap introduction into planar IEMs. First impressions after a day, I was not prepared to hear such incredible bass out of these things. Listening to 2049 on the Blade Runner soundtrack...

Anyone here heard the new shiny metallic stuff from Venture Electronics? The Master, V2S, Monk SM Slim Metal? I already have the original Monk and used to own the Zen 2.0 so I'm curious how these compare. Also want to try the Fiio FF5 and Dunu Alpha 3.

The Sundara would be my first pick probably, followed closely by the 6XX. Although I have replaced the Sundara with the HE-500 in my personal collection, I can't recommend the Sundara enough, it sounds like a $500-$700 headphone to me. I'd also say the Focal Elex. Especially if you can get it...

I value "naturalness" "realism", whatever you can define those things as. Getting the timbre and the tone correct is something I value above anything else. This is why I love the Sennheiser HD600 series so much, they are renowned for the midrange and treble timbre that not even most...

I tried the HD650 a decade ago and since then my little audio world was turned upside down. Been addicted to the Sennheiser neutral/warm sound for that long. I’m daily driving the HD660S2 and Focal Clear MG right now. The Clear MG has amazing dynamic punch, speed and resolution. The 660S2...

This is what I use (EQ APO): Filter: ON PK Fc 25 Hz Gain 2 dB Q 1.2 Filter: ON LSC Fc 70 Hz Gain 1.5 dB Q 0.7 Filter: ON PK Fc 3000 Hz Gain 1.5 dB Q 2 Filter: ON PK Fc 4600 Hz Gain 1.5 dB Q 4 Filter: ON PK Fc 5350 Hz Gain -1 dB Q 5 Very small adjustments that bring the 3-4kHz range forward a...

I got this case last year, really nice for any HD600 series headphone. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CVT9FQC/

I am continually impressed by the 660S2, to the point where I'm reaching for it more than the Clear MG. Not saying it's better than the Clear MG in technical performance, even though it gets very close. But I much prefer the overall tonality of the S2. The whole tonal balance is nearing...

Excellent buyer, great communication and very honest. Highly recommended to do any selling or buying with. Thank you!

These are brand new pads for the original (now discontinued) Clear Pro, NOT the MG Pro. These are slightly different from the MG Pro pads in material and thickness, these being thicker and more pillow-y than the MG pads which are more of a memory foam and more dense suede material. Take...

For those of you who have the regular brown version of the Clear MG, can you tell me which color shade is more accurate to real life from the below screenshots? It seems like every image I see of the MG has a different shade brown, and I know it also depends on the lighting. But I think I do...

Very pleasant experience with Ramon, quick payment and easy to communicate. Very trustworthy, I would absolutely sell to or trade with again. Thank you very much!

Edit: Price drop down to $165. This is the original HD660S (not S2) for sale. It is the newer post 2019 model with the updated headband design which I personally find more flexible and comfortable. I am the second owner, however I personally have put very little use into this one since getting...

I tried out the Nutopia earlier this year compared to my Clear MG, for reference I was using the RME ADI-2 DAC. Clear MG is definitely punchier and warmer, but actually has more energy in the treble air region than the Nutopia. The Nutopia is more neutral and the treble texture is definitely...

That mod for the Focus-A pads looks interesting though, I'll have to try it out. Funny, I was just about to post on here how amazing I think the Focus-A pads are on the HE-500, even without any modifications. I've been using the HE-500 with those pads recently and have been just blown away by...
