As much as I have enjoyed these, I'm now selling my HD800 (non-S). They are in very good condition but you can be the judge. Some info: - Pads and headband are in good condition; no tears. - Mechanically sounds, i.e cup springs and band adjustment are in good working condition. - SDR mod...

Yeah, It's not really proprietary. Dual 3.5mm tip ring sleeve to single 3.5mm should work. I believe the Focal Elear uses the same.

Having the hd800 with the sdr mod which is supposedly very close to the hd800s, I would also go with the planars. You are going to miss the body and thump required for rock if you go with the hd800s. Yes, you can eq but it's not the same in my opinion.

The start of this thread up to your decision to move to LCD-X, Clears or Sundaras is like the past 2 years of my headphone life. I have the HD6xxs and I'm glad I have them as a reference and still use them but if I could move up, I'd move up to the Clears, LCD-X or Aryas. I also have the HD800...

I have the 6xx's and I pair them with the Drop THX 789. I have zero issues with the sound, it has enough power and it's very clean. I originally had a Magni 3 and, yeah, I would not recommend that one; the THX 789 is audibly cleaner. I also have a pair of HD800 (non-s) and I run those off the...

Thanks. I'll take at look at your suggestions. I might be able to swing something "better" than a DV336se budget wise but the seed is there for me to start looking and thinking about considering this route.

@tomb . Thanks. Yes, I do have the original HD800. As for the better amp, that's what I thought I was doing with the THX 789 but I think I finally see that I might have to go the tube route. I do like the THX 789 for my HD6xx and can tell the difference coming from the Magni. The Magni is now a...

Hello all, I daily drove (and still do) a pair of HD6XXs with a Schitt stack (Mimby/Magni3/Loki) for about a year or more now and that has been a trusty home office setup. I don't source from anywhere fancy, just Tidal (HiFi w/ "Master" support) from a laptop so I know my sources vary and it...

Yes! I know, that's where I started too. I heard so many good things as well and with a "let's see if I can get into this game and spend the least amount as possible" mentality, I thought it would be worth trying them out . But alas, it was not to be. I really-really tried to like the SR125s but...

Let me clarify. If you didn't like the Koss Porta Pro, then, in my opinion, I don't think you will get much out of the Grados 60/80/125s.

I would not go for the lower Grados. I think you will not be impressed. I tried the SR80es and have a SR125e and the only thing I use them for now are conference calls over the PC for work. They were my first open-back headphones after buying some CAL!s. Not sure what your budget is but I think...

Just to give some closure. I do like the HD6xx Magni 3 Modi multibit setup. I think it's a great semi budget conscious starter kit for a variety of music. I haven't thought of EQing AT ALL since I got the mimby. I haven't had to. Now when I listen, if I hear a frequency discrepancy, I just let...

I ordered the Multibit. Thanks to all who replied. I'll give it some time and post my impressions later on another post. Thanks.

Right on. Yes, I realized the band limits on the EQ but the ease of use would be nice. As for the learning, I think that's part of the journey so I don't mind. I've been going through some exercises on Harman's "How To Listen" so perhaps, this would be a good experience down the road. I'm going...

Thanks! Yes, that does sound like a good idea. I thought about this before, I just figured it would be easier to turn knobs as opposed to going to the laptop. I'll start looking around for recommended EQ software for MACs.

I'm building my first headphone desktop stack and I'm wondering where to go next. I currently have the Grado SR 125e and the HD 6xx and I'm running them off a Schiit Magni 3. So far so good. My music source is exclusively Tidal (Hifi/Master) on a 2012 MacBook Pro. I've been reading and watching...
