Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread
Just managed to snag a pair off classifieds! The 660s were my first of the 600 series, coming from the Hifiman Arya V2 as a main. While I love the V2 their sibilance was too much, and I couldn't get them to agree with my head comfort wise. In hindsight, they're also quite thin in the midrange...- Xerosnake90

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone
Having owned the Amiron and still using the 1990s daily. If you want a warmer, easier to listen to headphones grab something like an HD 650 or 660s over the Amiron. The Amiron manage to be warm and muddied at times while also being hot to listen to, my opinion of course. HD 6XX series is more...- Xerosnake90

Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread
Appreciate the info, sounds like it'd be right up my alley. I'll take a look at the 900 Pro X though I'm ok with the 1990s. As said they're exclusively for my keyboard/mixing purposes and they handle that really well.- Xerosnake90

Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread
So what's the consensus these days on 660s vs 660s2? The 660s have become my main headphone. The 1990s are great as an instrument headphone, but for music it's too treble hot. I sold off my Arya v2 for being sibilant and uncomfortable to wear. 660s is a good level of warmth and treble that...- Xerosnake90

1990 is really energetic, the balanced pads kinda raise the mids up but IMO they get muffled as opposed to warm. The Amiron is warm and detailed but more energetic like the 1990. Jazz and classical, acoustic stuff sounds great on the amiron- Xerosnake90

I'm thinking you'd be better off with some of Beyer's warmer headphones. Amiron Home or the T1- Xerosnake90

Schiit Audio Bifrost 2
Give it 2 or 3 days first. You're used to the warm signature as opposed to the more technical 2/64. Higher resolution, better imaging and spacial representation. It's truly a treat- Xerosnake90

Audiophile Ninja cables?
Lol you might want to read through this thread about the whole "it doesn't change the sound thing". I've found them to sound better than the stock cables my headphones came with I just ordered a pair for my 1990s and my 660s- Xerosnake90

Amiron has to be one of the strangest headphones I've heard. It manages to both be warm and musical while being unbearably hot at times. With some artists it comes together really well but with many it doesn't.- Xerosnake90

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
I don't get the inside my head feeling with the 660s. They're definitely the tightest out of my trio (DT 1990, 660s, Arya V2) but they still surround me and actually have a pretty impressive holographic imaging thing going on.- Xerosnake90

Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread
Long story short, balanced on Jot 2 sounds better because it outputs a higher amount of wattage. Almost 4 times as much compared to its single ended output. Lyr+ in comparison is closer to the power output of Jot 2 balanced. So the argument is Balanced vs unbalanced in regards to the Jot 2...- Xerosnake90

Have you ever seen The Good Place? It's a show about a cast of characters that got sent to hell under the pretense that they're actually in heaven.

Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread
I've had Jot 2 and now Lyr+ The Lyr in Solid state is every bit of the amp the Jot 2 is but just a smidge of warmth. The Lyr however takes out the Jot 2 when you go into tube mode. It creates a nice 3D soundstage, and can be farther colored depending on the tube. All the details and clarity...- Xerosnake90

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone
I prefer the analytical pads on the 1990 myself. The switch to balanced just kinda takes away the clarity that they have without actually giving a sense of satisfying warmth Amiron manages to do something that I've never heard before. They manage to be warm, detailed, yet also muddy and...- Xerosnake90

Why? Even with easy to drive headphones I stay on high gain, I think it sounds better. Just keep it set to 0 and start your music, move up from there. Always the rule- Xerosnake90

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
I grabbed a pair of the 660s off another head fi user about a week ago. I've always been a soundstage lover. The 1990s are spacious and the Arya even more so. I like my 1990s for use on my keyboard and don't use it much to listen anymore. The Arya V2, while mystical are heavy, uncomfortable and...- Xerosnake90

I was hunting for a 2/64 for almost a month before I gave in and bought it new. Literally the next day 2 went up for sale and another handful over the next week or two. Oh well lol At least I have the warranty. I'll be moving my Bifrost to my Speaker rig when I buy said rig- Xerosnake90
