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

    That's what I would describe 6XX in upper mid range and even overall mid range with certain material. To me 6XX sounds more harsh and ear piercing than 660s, the voice and instruments are more "round" on 660s and more musical to me, also I actually like that the vocals are shouty and more...

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

    I have the Romania 6XX on the other hand. How do you feel the 660s against 6XX?

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

    I was idiot. The 660s is actually made in Ireland. Never payed attention to what was imprinted on the band for two years somehow because on the shop I bought it said made in Romania. I guess this can add some differences to the sound too.

    Monoprice Monolith Liquid Spark - By Alex Cavalli

    I ordered LS with Modi 3 , hope to find that smooth sound compared to the cold, analytical or forward sound of most SS stacks.

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    A HD 600 may be difficult for an LG too but for something like HD 660s 58x 599 598 , Beyerdynamic dt 770/880/990 it is enough while no other phones can drive these. Apart from Iphone, Samsung, and HTC which used to provide 1 VRMS amps (1.3 for HTC) most phones with default Qualcomm dacs provides...

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

    I actually find the opposite regarding 6XX and 660s tested with several amps. Mine 6XX has deeper bass than 660s but 660s is smoother in mid range and less forward, also with some songs 6XX is grainy in mid range. (sadly after 3 months there is still some grain with certain songs on my 6xx while...

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

    I think it's the same design?! Just in the box it said made in Romania and the same it is specified on massdrop site if you look there.

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

    Both my 6XX and 660s are made in Romania. I also like 660s better in almost every way. The sub-bass is better on 6XX, mid bass is around the same and mid instruments have about the same fullness. But everything else is better on 660s. Even if people say 660s is expensive I actually think it's...

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

    A little bit off topic but, what do you think about 6XX and 650 . I never heard 650, briefly heard 600 some time ago, but from memory and looking on frequency response charts it seems that 6XX may actually be closer to 600 rather than 650 or are 6XX and 650 actually the same or is this the case...

    Monoprice Monolith Liquid Spark - By Alex Cavalli

    So this ss amp has a bit tube like sound as far as I read? I am looking for a good cheap amp to handle my Sennheiser 6XX politely but with great detail. Most systems I tried make de 6XX sound harsh and very fatiguing in upper midrange. So after reading this thread I concluded this amp is very...

    Is this amp available somewhere in Europe? I saw it only in a french shop online. Or does Monoprice ship to Europe like Drop? I guess not?!

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    We don't really know and never will what LG actually did with the tuning maybe some of the meridian phones were tuned by regions also like B&O . My V40 with tuned by meridian label sounds exactly like G7. But also were quite a few on V40 and V50 threads who listened to both phones and agreed...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    Xperia may have good dac and sound good with high sensitivity iems but won't be able to drive full size headphones like Sennhiser or AKG or Beyerdynamic due to less powerful amp. Also note that V40, V50, G8 and some G7 (those made after V40 release with meridian tuning) have a touch warmer and...

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

    The hd 660s can be driven from all daps. I have Chord Mojo, LG V40, Fiio E10k. All of them can drive 660s but only Mojo can drive properly the 6XX and even Mojo lacks some dynamics and power in a few quiet songs, sounding rather dull. Given that Mojo has around 95Mw into 300 ohms and LG and Fiio...

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

    I bought zen dac and can for 6XX especially to have a desktop setup with more power because I only have several daps but I tested with 660s also. The sound was not for me and returned the stack. Zen dac is forward in upper mid range 2-5KHZ and sounded ear piercing to me. The 660 is not that...

    iFi ZEN DAC discussion + impression

    Does the Dac have enough power even for low end? Especially 650/6XX need more power for the low end to sound full. However if the stack sound roughly the same quality balanced and single-ended , I may buy the can too and go rca cable, the power of the can with rca connectors is 196 mW into...

    iFi ZEN DAC discussion + impression

    Thanks for reply. So if I go Can too, the sound will be good enough with rca connectors or the balanced 4.4 connectors will still be an important improvement in sound quality? Also with Can but without a power supply noise is still bad?

    iFi ZEN DAC discussion + impression

    So I'm still digging for my next desktop setup. Ifi Zen I think may be my first choice atm but I have a question. Does Zen Dac have enough power in balanced mode to drive headphones like Sennheiser 6** series or 8** series at their full potential? Or adding Zen Can as a stack combo would be a...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    I want to go a Schiit stack. I guess here someone can help me. Is Modi 3 better than Ak4490 for Asgard 3 ? (didn't find many info on the forum regarding AK4490 dac) Also is a considerable difference in quality between Asgard 3 and Magni 3+ ? I'm thinking either Magni 3 with Modi 3 either Modi 3...

    Did you listen to any LG with Sabre? Is the DAC or tuning actually better than on LG or it is just as good?

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

    I was looking on that site at frequency response of hd 650. I find interesting that 650 is more forward that 660s at 3Khz and 4Khz with the same peak at 5-6 Khz. That wouldn't make the 660s more relaxing than 650 contrary to what most people says 650 being more fatiguing because of the more...

    LG V50 ThinQ Smartphone

    What do you mean by forward sound? I mean what frequency? I have V40 and the sound is quite full but there is forward sound in upper mid frequency(from 2Khz to 4Khz) which can result in some sparkle there with some songs and HP(not all of course), when I crank the volume louder in HIM, at...
