Painful. and they are incredible headphones.

Sold. Selling my awesome Hifiman HE1000V2's. Completely agree with Crinnacles list playing the He1000v2 in the very top grouping on his list. I'm the original owner. Purchased from Hifiman. Gently burned them in. Stunning. Mint in factory box. I'm a touring musician (they did NOT tour with me)...

Sold!

Still hoping to find a new home for these guys.

I bought a set of Layla's intending to use them on a 2 year national tour that was covid cancelled last year. I also had a set of JH13's for a few years but sent them in for remolds at the time time as I bought the Layla's. JH lost them during the early mess of covid shutdowns and made me a...

Amp TBD depending on which phone. But certainly appreciate any suggestions on portable amp/dac + headphone combos!

appreciate the replies. No need to worry about portability. Plenty of room in the suitcase as I spend all my money on guitars and gear so I don't actually have clothes to put in the suitcase!

Need a closed headphone for hotel room/backstage/anywhere - mixing/mastering. Currently using HE1000v2 (with a smidge of eq). between IEF neutral curve to Harmon. Just no big bumps or holes. Linear. Nice to listen to. Good isolation. Appreciate your input and suggestions.

Stunning headphone. My use case is for mixing and mastering on the road and in hotel rooms. (will be spending most of the next two years on the road). Two issues with the he1000v2 - bit of a spike at 9k, and too much sparkle above 12k. Just a smidge but enough to be at issue. Tad lack of mids...

Thanks for that. Appreciate you taking the time to post the chart.

No question U18's at least have a more complete response. ie - any high end and upper mids at all compared to my Layas'. I found the 18's to have a significant bass boost that while desirable to many, is more than my taste. But I certainly appreciate the reply! (and the reminder that IEMS can...

My questions about Layla's was answered below by a kind member who posted the graph. Love this forum thanks for the input.

Gang, Have a set of older sony's that the cord seems to be crapping out on. Anyone have a good recommendation for a repair/re-cabling service? thanks!

Gang,   I'm looking for a small, lightweight amp to drive HD800s. Needs a Toslink input as that's what I need to feed it.   Also need the power supply to be light.   Touring musician. Every ounce matters on long travel days.   thanks!

Babylon5 -  are we talking about the same thing?   I've never run into any situation where latency was that high. I'm assuming we are referencing drastically different situations. The application I was referring to in my post was studio/composing with a daw type work.   Pro Tools HDX...

32 ms is not low latency. Anything past 10ms will drive a musician bat **** crazy.   I just bought the senn 180's for this exact purpose (composer tired of the cable getting in the way) and I love my senn 600's. Unusable. Sound fine. A bit of a bass boost. but the latency is for ****.  ...

Hoping my question makes sense to some fellow tavelers

Gents,   I'm on a custom IEM quest. (full ear molds - no buds) Would like some opinions on which comes closest to the balanced sound of Senn 600's    BALANCE being paramount.   Thanks for your input    

Gents,   My beloved Senn 600's have a cracked headband. Split in two. Senn is non responsive to emails for the parts.   Is there someone out there who does repairs like this? (I assume they might be able to get the parts).   Would appreciate any tips on who to contact for this...

Gents, Could use some help finding a small headphone amp.   small/light/affordable. Need only Line input. Mini or 1/4 inch jacks are fine.   would love to have it run off of 9v wall wart power supplies.   thanks in advance for your input.

thanks gents. Superglue failed. is it possible to order parts from senn??

stang, thanks for the reply. I should have added that they are long out of warranty. So I'm looking for the most cost effective repair options. Love the phones. Bummed I broke them.

Hello all, I cracked the headband (hard plastic) on my Senn 600's. Looking to the headfi brain trust for advice on how to go about repairing them, ordering parts etc. Thanks in advance for your help.

I could pass a blind test between my 600/old and 600/new. easily. The difference is noticable. As to which is better ????? Were back to just opinions on that one. I find it very plausable that they changed a piece of the production line - NOT intending it to improve anything. Just a part...
