No wonder the impedance was different. I thought it was for headphones (newbie here, obviously).   This is the first time i'll be investing in an Amp (and an expensive headphone), and I don't want it to sound colored as much as possible but rather leaning towards what the HD 600 should sound...

How would the HD 600 go with the Fiio A1 Headamp and the D3 Dac combination? Anyone tried this?

Hi Guys,   I'm on the road to purchasing my 3rd audiophile headphone, which is gonna be an upgrade from my HD 555. Auditioned a pair of HD 600 the other day (un-amped) and I just could not forget it and think nothing but to purchase one. But before that, I'm looking for an amp that would...

Count me in the club! I just got my 555's 2 days ago and I am just loving every bit of these cans. I can't wait for them to burn-in and hear the improvement that everyone's saying. I hope I won't be disappointed.

Wow!!!

Here's my mini audiophile/headphile setup:

A lot actually, I can't remember all, but here are a few good ones... Jazz: Fourplay Kenny G Al Jarreau Yellowjackets Actually, it's a re-discover for me since I've been listening to this when I was a kid, but it's only now that I actually learned the titles and artist.

Just one... Grado SR80

Go get something else... Sennheiser HD 201 or the 205 will do the job for you. Want something better? Get the Grado SR60.

Right now, this is what I have. I'm planning to get a Head Amp soon.

The answer is yes. You can still here the door knock and the phone ring.

Press PLAY, relax, and enjoy! From what I've read, you might find the bass lacking the first time you listen to it but it eventually gets better. 100 Hours of play time would complete the burn in process. Happy Listening!

Not to make you feel down or anything, but based on your posts, I honestly think that the SR80 isn't for you. If your looking for all around open headphones, which is suitable for music, movies, and games, I think you'd be better of with the Sennheiser HD 555 IMHO. Or if you really like that...

Grado SR80

I'm thinking of getting the Senn HD 414 pads (like most people here have) for my SR80. My only concern is the sound. Will it sound different with the 414 pads or will the sound remain the same like the stock pads? Thanks!

Hey Guys, I got an offer I couldn't refuse with the SR80, so basically I went for it. I'm enjoying my new headphones as I type this. Now in the burn-in process. Anyway, I appreciate all the replies you guys made. Thank you. May this thread serve as a reference for future buyers. Cheers!
