    Neumann NDH 30

    Not impressing is exactly the reason why the HD600 is one of the most popular audiophile headphones for almost 3 decades. 😉

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    About your comparison with photoshop; if the image is fine by itself and the pc monitor is perfectly calibrated, then enhancing is indeed pointless. It doesn't get any better. Headphones however, unlike good pc monitors, aren't perfectly calibrated (manufacturers try to follow - most often - the...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    Did you try digital EQ'ing? In my ears, without EQ no headphone sounds totally right. It explains why many people here have 125 headphones in their collection. :) With some EQ you could be totally happy with a 200 dollar headphone...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    It seems that here in Europe, Sennheiser dealers aren't allowed to mess with prices. In each EU country and each shop they are literally the same price (€599,-). Which is fishy, because a supplier isn't allowed to determine the actual retail price overhere but yet it seems to happen.

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    I just read somewhere that the NDH 30 driver is the HD558/598 driver, not the 560S. https://www.ecoustics.com/reviews/neumann-ndh-30/ Internally, the Neumann NDH 30 uses a 38mm driver with a nominal impedance of 120 ohms and a sensitivity of 104dB (1 kHz/1Vrms). A friend of mine who has...

    Very extensive review of the S2: https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/measurements/brands-s-se/hd-660s2/ Another reviewer who says it's not worth the upgrade if you already own a S1.

    Neumann NDH 30

    Steely Dan albums let me always realise that the HD600 has the most organic / analogue sounding mids, period. You can't beat it. 🙂

    Depends, if you want it to follow the Harman kurve: https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/blob/master/results/oratory1990/harman_over-ear_2018/Neumann%20NDH30/Neumann%20NDH30%20ParametricEQ.txt

    Neumann NDH 30

    The more expensive the headphone, the more it is "EQ'ed" by the manufacturer and then it's called tuning. Tuning i think is nothing more than EQ'ing with resistors and other electronic components. Not sure which method affects soundQ more.

    Neumann NDH 30

    Yes new. I EQ with Poweramp Equalizer on Android and APO/Peace on Windows.

    Neumann NDH 30

    I just got a Hifiman HE400SE for 130 and after EQ'ing this thing to Oratory it's unbelievable what a sound you get for 130, now tháts price performance. ;)

    Maybe they are right and we have an OCD. :)

    Isn't that after EQ'ing subbass and very loud listening levels? Amir likes his volume.

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    Yeah, we morons here in Europe will keep paying full retail so Sennheiser can offer you Americans crazy good deals by Drop. We are basically sponsoring the American market. To be honest a bit sick and tired of this. :) The most expensive place on earth to buy a Sennheiser is ironically in...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    89 euros on Amazon dot nl now for the headphone with the best soundstage under a 1000 probably 1500. :) Unfortunately this discount is not on Amazon dot com so only for the EU.

    Hifiman Edition XS Launched

    I was talking specific about the size of the voice, which is something different than soundstage size (which i never said the HD600 is perfect in). And yes, i think that the 6x0 series images voices (and instruments) - size wize - very good. Now the tricky part is to place those images in a...

    Hifiman Edition XS Launched

    You can check that easily by focussing on the voice imaging. If the voice in front of you is wider than on a HD600 it is creating artifical width. Voices on a HD800S (which do have an artificial stage) do image way wider than on a HD600.

    I think that with the S4 Sennheiser will nail the 600's midrange. 🙂

    Hifiman Edition XS Launched

    But does it have great depth too? Big and wide soundstage without excellent front to back depth is a turnoff for me personally.

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    Statement: X2HR has the best soundstage under a 1000. Yes there are headphones as wide but these just stretch the image (i e. voices get wider / more blurry) and front to back depth may become less, while the X2HR remains diamond cut imaging and depth. Also is the X2HR fully capable of...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    €370,- for a HD650 in Europe versus $199,- for a HD6XX in the US which is the same headphone is pretty much ridiculous. Almost double the price. So we Europeans sponsor the American market? 😄
