It doesn't look like anyone actually answered this and the answer is yes. I know you said we would say why, but really why? The Jotunheim has line rca input. I would be more worried about adding a cheap amazon converter to convert RCA to XLR to my signal chain than running an unbalanced rca...

Awesome, that is everything I wanted to hear, definitely going to pull the trigger in the next few days and start selling my other gear.

Okay I am glad to hear that, I own the 6XX and the 4XX, and from a sound quality perspective I prefer the 4XX, but I always end up wearing the 6XX because they fit so comfortably, while the 4XX feel very bulky and heavy. I was hoping with the XX I would get an improvement in sound quality and...

I cannot, and I suspect that I wouldn't. If someone owns it and similar HIFIMan headphones, maybe they could comment.

There is also this case, which I like a little better, it looks even smaller though. https://www.mrspeakers.com/shop/accessories/travel/aeon-carrying-case.html

Well its a smaller headband right? Would you be concerned that it would wobble around?

Seems like a lot of people are using this as their back up/ travel headphones, so I am sure someone else has a better idea, but just off a google search I found these, https://www.mrspeakers.com/review/product/list/id/216/category/38/. The top review is some one with the HEX v2 saying it fits...

I am surprised to hear you say that the XX needs slightly more power, I was under the impression that the XX was very easy to drive and could even be driven decently out of a laptop headphone jack, is that not the case?

I think that is normal and is not really an issue. I have left mine on for most of the time I have had it, and it is still going strong after almost 2 years.

I am both happy and sad to find out about this..

I guess its all about trying to define what you like while trying to mitigate your biases. Ideally this seems like the way to go, but its not so easy to find and try these expensive head phones. Most of the more high end headphones I have had the chance to try were add very large electronic...

I have the Jotunheim and HD6XX, can confirm that it easily drives them and is my go to set up, based on both sound and how comfortable it is. I doubt your Atom is a problem as far as driving the HD6XX goes, the main reason I upgraded to the Jot was for IO.

It seems like above the HD600s, which pair of headphones is best in the Sennheiser line-up comes down to subjective views. I see a lot of people posting about how they would mix the different frequency bands of the different headphones and that seems to support that idea for me. I guess what I...

Probably not, open and closed headphones require different tunings, so just switching out the shell would result in a pretty messed up frequency response.

Hey guys, I have been on this site for a while for all my audiophile information needs. I finally decided to take the leap and make an account.
