Posted this over on /r/headphones, figured I would post a little more detailed version here.   Hi all.   I’ve had the same audio setup for the past 2 years; Sennheiser HD650’s, and the Schiit Magni 2U and Modi 2U. The HD650’s are the only "serious" headphones I've ever owned and now I want...

I bought a used pair of HD650's a little over a year ago. They have been great, however the grills have always looked a little ratty due to the paint having flaked off, and now I'm finally getting around to researching the possibility of replacing them. I've found this site and I'm a bit...

I've had my HD650's less than a year and in that time the cable has gone bad once and now my right earcup is rattling. It just started happening today and only occurs in the bass frequencies. Whenever a lower frequency comes in, I can hear a rattle in tune with it from the bottom of my right...

I've had a pair of HD650's for only half a year and they've started to go bad. I was listening to some music today and all of the sudden I began noticing some artifacts in the left channel. They got worse and worse over the next few minutes until it finally just quit and now I only have the...

Hey!   I'm in the market for a modest desktop/around-the-house setup. I've got approximately $500 to spend on the whole setup and here's what I've been looking at:   CANS   - Sennheiser HD650's at my top-range cans, which run at $313 on Amazon and BHPhoto right now. They sound like a...

Hi,   I am basically only going to receive money for Christmas this year, so I'm probably going to buy the HD650's. What would be a good starting amp/dac for the HD650?   Thanks, Sevin

I have no idea where to start with these. I know that they work via a vacuum, but that's all I know. What is tube rolling? Where can I find tubes? I'm planning on buying a Schiit Lyr at some point along with a Bifrost DAC and Audez'e LCD-2.    Sorry for this kind of post, I just couldn't find...

Are there any upcoming North Carolina meets or one we could get started on?

Hi, I'm new here, but I've been a tight-budget audiophile for about a year now. I don't really feel qualified to say that though since the only reason why I say that I am an audiophile is because I love music and like to hear it the way it was made to hear. That being said, I've only had 3...
