I think he said it's nearly the same with a small difference in tonality. If removing padding reproduces, say, 90-95% of the sound, I think it's worth trying the mod, especially prior to the 660 price cuts.

Yah, I guess that would be like the 650 being rebranded as the 6XX. :nerd:

Zeos reviewed the 660s and said they were better than the 600s and then he reviewed the 58X and said they were basically the 660s and was complaining about he wasted $500 of his own money: Z Reviews: HD 58X He discovered this by removing foam from the 58X and not adding anything. The 58X are...

I use the 560s for classical music but now that I'm moving around for work, it's kind of a hassle to take multiple cans. The 6XX pretty much work for every genre. If the 660s can build off that, then I'll have my endgame headphones. Maybe I'll use the advice above and invest in a nicer DAC &...

I wish I had a K9 Pro. :beerchug: I have the K5 Pro.

Yes, is that correct? Isn't that what the HD 600s are for? Reference studio monitors? That's what I assumes Zeos meant that he will compare all other headphones to the HD 600s.

Meaning, most accurate and unadulterated sound that you would use for studio monitoring. I've seen the term used a few times: The first time I heard it was when I was researching the 560s and if I come across where, I will link the review. Is there another word for this in the audiophile...

To be fair, I never said better; I said most technical. Being a newbie to the field, I get my information from DMS, Z-Reviews and other YouTubers: DMS: HD580, HD600, HD650, HD6XX Z Reviews: HD 660s As for better, from what people have said, it seems like I should be fine with the 6XX...

I thought the HD 600 was the most technical and hence its use as a reference?

I can see how what I wrote above doesn't make sense. My plan was to gift my 6XX to my brother and I would buy a nicer pair. That's why I asked if I should get the 600, 650 or 660s. Basically, give myself an upgrade in the process. I'm currently in DC and won't be back in NY for a couple of...

I came across many people saying the same thing about the HD 600. Pairing it with a tube amp makes a lot of difference. Okay, I'll look into it. I looked at Schiit but they were quite expensive (compared to FiiO).

I have a FiiO K5 Pro ESS. I just bought that a few months ago. I don't know if this is the right term but I'm looking for an endgame can that I can use and never be disappointed with. I don't know if I have to get the HD800 for that but I would have to save up for a long time to justify buying...

I'm relatively new to the audiophile world so excuse me if my terminology is not correct but I'll try to describe it as best as I can. I suppose a bit of both. If you're familiar with the 560s, the opposite of that! To me, the 6XX are just very calming, smooth to listen to. The 6XX allow me to...

Another question, any reason to buy the 650 if I already have the 6XX?

Sorry, I should've specified the price. Ideally, max would be $300. Since the HD 660 s2 came out, Sennheiser is heavily discounting the 660s. At the moment, they're $300 just about everywhere.

I have the 6XX and I really like the sound profile. I also have the 58X Jubilee and I don't really like it. I also have the 560s and although I like the soundstage, they aren't warm at all. I'd like to buy another set of cans I don't know which I'd like. I like warmer sounds and I listen to a...

There are many bad things about Apple and it's 'walled garden' approach but I like the fact that I can create playlists in iTunes/Music app on my Mac and then sync that with my iPhone and AppleWatch. I can then use my watch to listen to music at the gym and never have to worry about carrying my...

When I joined this site last month, someone welcomed me with "say goodbye to your wallet" and I see what he meant. I ended up buying the Chroma Cables USB cables and they worked fine. The static that I previously got was gone.

Is there some of difference between the results in the UK versus US because I see Mette Lindberg mentioned first? Later there is a facebook post that mentions Bang Chau.

If you google "hess is more yes boss", where do you see it? I can't find a single search result with "Bang Chau" unless I specifically include it the search. And searching for "Bang Chau" music on YouTube provides some...weird results.

Does anyone know who the female vocalist is on this track?

I'm new to the audiophile world and I currently have the following: FiiO K5 Pro HD560S HD6XX I used a regular printer cable from Amazon but I got interference / static. So, I decided to buy the Chroma Cables listed below and the interference went away. While doing my research on cables, I...

I decided to try the PC38X with my FiiO K5 Pro and they worked. I kept the K5 in low gain mode. Last week, I had tried this and I heard static. I assumed it was because the K5 was delivering too much power but it turned out to be a cheap USB cable. I bought a Chroma Cable and today the static...

I didn't know that. I would assume that the PC volume wouldn't change...

I don't have either the E50 Mini or Modi yet so I was hoping someone else had tried this. The problem is buying the DAC and then returning it if it doesn't work out for my special case. I would feel bad. I guess I could just keep it if it doesn't work out.
