I am going crazy!! My hd600´s cable is defective!!  I dont want or need to send the headphones back, I just need to replace the cables!!   Contacting Sennheiser is a pain!     I love my headphones too much to part with them even for a few days!!   Is it really a fact that Sennheiser...

bWOW. I love my HD600 and I did it from the first listen. But WOW do they shine with the Valhalla 2. They are simply amazing.    As others have said so many times, they dont add much to the music. But when it is well recorded, anyone who loves music and great sound should absolutely love it. I...

Gaming is not the most important. I decided to get a pair of headphones dedicated to gaming. I have the HD595 and even those are supposed to be better than the HD600, from what I've read here, but they are not close. I am considering getting replacement earpads for my hd595 because they are...

  The most amazing thing with the HD600 with the Mixamp pro TR is that I can tell the exact spot where shots are being fired. I can tell is the shots are in the middle of the map, if its in the middle-right hall, whatever. It's really amazing what the Dolby headphone does with the HD600.    ...

I have been comparing the HD600 vs. the AD700x and DT990 pro 250ohms for gaming and it's like comparing a Corolla with a space shuttle. They are not in the same league. The HD600 is by far the best out of the three and it's not close. I dont know what they mean what they say the soundstage is...

No. Only double amp. Mixamp pro TR ---> MAgni 2 uber OR Valhalla 2. Edited my post. 

Well, I promised comments on the AD700x compared to the HD600. Now I have those and the DT990 pro 250ohms, which I haven't tried extensively.    I will start off saying that the best for gaming to me are, by far, the HD600. It is the only one with an incredibly precise imaging. With the other...

  I am in a similar spot as you. I have the HD600 with the modi 2 uber, magni 2 uber and valhalla 2, and they all sound great for gaming, and even though the soundstage isnt huge, the depth of the HD600, specially with the Valhalla 2, is nothing short of amazing. The problem that made me look...

Hey. thank you!   I considered the X7, but price and most importantly not having the function to "mix" chat/game audio to my liking is the reason I stopped considering it.    I ordered the Mixamp TR PS4, and the modmic unidirectional, noise cancelling with mute button, along with the AD700x...

  I have been reading a ton trying to make an inform decision and prevent returns/resells that can turn out quite expensive and sometimes frustrating. I game in a PS4, and I am looking to improve the audio quality over the Sony Gold Wireless, while keeping the chat/game mix capability, and...

Yeah, you are right, but when he said he wanted to keep voice chat function I thought he meant the ability to mix both streams of audio. If you dont do that, you will find, and this has been my experience, that the improvement in audio quality vanishes when you have loud friends shouting in the...

  You would need to double-amp, which Ive read is not so bad when amping the mixamp signal. Use the mix amp to control party/game mix, and your preferred amp to amplify the signal. Thing is, that way your new dac wont be converting, and I dont know if that is how you intend to get the...

And you didnt notice a significant improvement in soundstage and positional awareness in it coming from the hd595??  What about the dolby headphone/astro mixamp??

Thank you for your opinion. Have you tried the k701 or the AD700x??

hELLO ALL,   I've read the guide and I am looking for a dedicated pair of headphones and possibly a dolby headphone device to get an edge in my FPS gaming. I understand the AD700x is the best possible value, and can also see that the HD598 is rated amazing.   How does the old HD595, which i...

Yes. I had plans to test the HD650 to compare them to my HD600, but given that the only thing I want (not often though) from my HD600 is a little more forwardedness (is that a word?), attack, I dont know if I should even try it. The Beyers DT990 keep coming up as a recommendation to me and now...

Hello All,   I am currently using my HD600 with my Valhalla 2 and modi 2 uber for gaming, and even though they are very good, I want something better in terms of soundstage, and maybe a little more impact. The HD600 are very nice, and the pairing with the Valhalla 2 provides an incredible...

Hello all,   I am looking for tubes that sound a little more forward than stock of my Valhalla 2.    I saw there is a thread with a review of the 6922 that is apparently a must read for anyone considering tube rolling with the Valhalla 2. I am going there this afternoon after work.    Anyone?

I can´t find the Valhalla 2 tube rolling thread. Is there one?     I am loving my Valhalla 2, and since I am considering a solid state amp as a secondary, for a more forward, bright sound. Somebody suggested that those things could probably be had with the same Valhalla 2 with different...

  I had trouble with strings with the magni-modi 2 uber. sometimes they sounded thin, and even though it is not bad, they weren't as if you had, say, the violins in the same room as you. With the Valhalla 2 running from the same modi one of the biggest differences I've found is the realism of...

I should have probably refrained myself from opining about the HD800 since I haven't heard it. I just thought my overall experience and area of knowledge could help the community here. This is a disclaimer, I guess. I haven't heard the HD800. 

HD800 vs HD600: It's about diminishing returns and pricing strategy. There is a concept introduced by Michael Porter, Value Signals. Value signals are everything the consumer or prospect uses to infer value.    Nothing says more about value to an uninformed consumer (most of us, most people)...

  I thought that but the preamp of my Vallhalla 2 IS affected by the gain switch. 

  The output is affected I think, the voltage of the output. I really doubt you could notice a difference in audio quality though. The rule of thumb is that you use low gain when possible, because it has less distortion.
