Yeah, from an economic standpoint it probably would make sense, as these don't seem to have flown off the shelves. Perhaps the new Neumann headphone mentioned earlier is a handy way to clear up some of those spare parts lying around the factory.

I don't want to make too much of this, but I just noticed that these are listed as "Discontinued by Manufacturer" on Amazon (though there is a separate listing as well). A quick Google search shows that they are also listed as discontinued on Moon Audio and Sonic Electronix. Of course, there...

A couple of weeks into owning these, I can understand their mixed/lackluster reception here, though I think I will hold onto them for now. I don't think the problem is that they sound bad or that no one could enjoy them—it's that there seems to be a bit of a disconnect between the way they're...

Did you ever get a balanced cable for these, and would you care to share your experience? I'm considering doing the same, but I'd be plugging it into the 2.5 mm balanced output of a FiiO X3 MkIII.

I should also mention that I listen to mostly classical music, and I found that when I turned up the volume enough for the top end to sound pleasingly open/airy, the bass instruments (timpani, for instance) seemed disproportionately loud. Even so, I think I may unmod them, since the mods make...

First time weighing since I got these late last week. Enjoyed them stock, but found the bass a bit intrusive. Since making a trip to the craft store today and installing Creatology foam behind the drivers, I'm finding them exquisitely balanced; at times, I wonder if I might like just a touch...

HD 600 like new, open box for $175. Add to cart to see the discount. https://www.blinq.com/detail/electronics/headphones-portable-audio/headphones/sennheiser-open-back-professional-headphone-black-hd600/1425620

How are the isolation and cable microphonics on these? Thinking about picking up a pair for primarily mobile use.

Blinq is offering 15-20% off some of their already discounted open-box/refurbished headphones, including several Sennheisers and the Mee Pinnacle PX. I picked up some Sennheiser HD 4.40 BTs for about $70. Prices shown are pre-discount. https://www.blinq.com/specials/headphones_sale

I second that question. I've been hanging mine like this for the better part of a week, and the strap seems to be holding up fine, but I would like to make sure that it won't stretch it out too much over time.

Another review is up: I've never heard of KitGuru, but there are some interesting track-by-track comparisons with the 650. https://www.kitguru.net/tech-news/featured-tech-reviews/dominic-moass/sennheiser-hd-660-s-headphone-review/

Just got this in from the latest Massdrop batch, and it's by far the most elegant looking thing on my crowded desk. First impressions are very good. It drives my HD 600s to comfortable listening levels in the 30-70% range, depending on the track. With my Sennheiser HD 569s, the bass tightens up...

I just bought my HE-400S last week used and it came with both the stock and Focuspads. At this point, I'd say it's almost a toss up for me between the two. On the one hand, the Focuspads definitely bring greater bass definition and extension. But since I listen to mainly...

I also tried a Schiit Fulla 2 with my Aeons and found it severely lacking. I heard crackling/distortion with the volume knob at just 11 o'clock on some tracks, such as classical piano. The Fulla 2 was supposed to replace my Audioengine D1 and, distortion aside, the Fulla 2 sounded better than...

Correct. I actually received the 2.1 update yesterday, and the muting problem has been resolved by that patch. I'm still not sure about the relative merits/disadvantages of running my 650s with the auto gain feature, particularly when listening to music mastered at a loud level, which means I...

Yes, I opened a ticket this morning, and a support rep emailed me a file called GO2A_2V0_inf.bin within two hours.

So I've just installed firmware version 2.0 on my Geek Out 2A infinity, and it seems to be working great, except that whenever I use the volume down button (formerly the gain selector), it mutes the audio for a second while it changes the volume. Has that happened to anyone else? I'm on Windows...

Deleted double post

I just bought a set of Momentum 2.0 Over-Ear headphones used, but they're coming without any cables (just the headphones). My question is, how much does it matter that replacement cables have the little interlocking notch to keep the cable in place? For instance, I'm thinking of buying this...

If you go to complyfoam.com and click "compatibility finder" in the top right corner, then type in Fiio, the Ex1's should show up. I'm pretty sure the second gen is the same size as the first, at least judging by the pictures.

As a former Ether C owner who downsized to the SRH 1540 when funds got tight, I can say that I enjoy both similarly when listening at moderate listening levels (which I do a lot, while studying) but that the Ether Cs do hold together a bit better at higher volumes (though they, too, can get...

I'd love to try some of these out for size! I haven't posted any reviews on Head-Fi just yet, but I have written a few on Amazon (including one for the Fiio K1 Amp/Dac).   You can see my Amazon reviews here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A3K1IKEAXUQWH0

https://youtu.be/vFyIDmX-1eU?t=9m   Just ordered the 1540's, and I'm still waiting for them to arrive, but I was happy to see them get a favorable shout-out in this review of the Focal Elears.

I listen to lots of jazz and classical, so I gravitate to F2 and F4, which seem to give a slightly better sense of air with the high overtones. Sometimes I switch to F1 or F3 for pop music or if the highs are fatiguing. You might want to check out this paper about digital filters: it might have...
