Finally I managed to cross over from my IPC/ Portable amp to CD Player and desktop amp, but entry level ones: Cambridge audio 651 a &C. Now I think I am ready to upgrade my HD25 to either Sennheiser HD 650 or 600. I NORMALLY listen to pop, vocals, jazz and some blue rock. Shall I choose HD650...

I'm currently stuck between deciding on a pair of headphones to complement my Grado SR225is. The SR225is have a nice forward sound which I love for all of my rock, but I feel that there is almost no separation in the instruments, which I'd like a bit of. I've read around a bit and seen that the...

Hi everyone, I have my hd598, do I be necessary to get hd600 and hd650? Is that is big diffrence sound with the hd598, or is just small diffrence?

This is a request for a recommendation for a new pair of headphones, with several preferences.   My current equipment includes:   Main: PC>Maverick Audio D1+>headphones Transportable: PC>ODAC>Altoids Cmoy (OPA2227)>headphones   My main genres of music are rock (Led Zeppelin, Pink...

Hello for everyone! Im from Brazil, so sry for my bad english.   Im trying to decide among all these headphones, but i rly cant decide... I already have a ATH-M50 and a Vmoda M100 and im trying to buy a more detailed headphone for my genre of music. I listen most metal/Gothic/Rock, and...

Hello all I was lent a pair of HD600 from Jimmy (thegunner100) to compare against my HD650. I used a variety of music, first with hard rock, then dubstep, then jrock, then soft rock, and lastly rap. Honestly its very noticeable that these cans are brothers, HD650 has more bass, HD600 is more...

My first post here, thanks all.   As a new member to headphone audio, Im not sure how to approach this or what to be looking for. Just got a very nice tube head amp made for myself. Happy to post more on it shortly. Its using a single 6SL7 driving a 6L6 and can do about 1000mw into 100...

Hey all, I'm currently looking for a DAC/amp box upgrade for my HD650s. I mainly listen to classical music with a bit of jazz, so I'm looking for more detail, clarity, and most importantly soundstage performance without sacrificing too much of the warm presentation of the HD650s. (it's simply a...

  I own a small studio and my main pair of monitors are Event Opals.  However, I love working on tracks on my laptop and Sennheiser HD600 headphones and eventually finishing them up in my studio. I work mostly on electronic music like techno and house. I am obsessed with my...

I've kept my original pads on my HD580s as they are still usable, however I've wanted to replace them with new pads but got turned off by the price of new pads which is around $80. On Ebay there's a seller from China offering replacement for less than half that price (~$30). Anyone ever try them...

Listen to a lot of EDM, house and trance in particular, and then literally everything else. Love live music, rock, jazz, classical, rap, R&B, you name it. Currently have the HE 400s with an E17 and looking to get either the HD600s or HD650s with an amp/DAC if necessary. Have read the 650 is...

Hi All,   My HD600 has some weird defect (rather: defects).  Some time ago, the left channel stopped playing.  Checked the cable -> OK.  As I live in Brazil, the chance of getting it serviced is probably null, so I took it apart (warranty has passed since long).  I found out that one of the...

This is a review of my Earsonics SM3. If you want the short story, I never thought IEM's could sound this good for what, I think, is a great price. They are effortlessly good sounding. After you get used to them, they seem to have a flawless sound signature. Now to the real thing.   Gear...

Hello folks, I bought an HD-650 last September and accidentally I disconnect the right channel on my phone. I connected again but now has bad contact. I had the same problem on HD 580. In that case I had to open the phone and soldering direct to the contacts. This I think is very harsh to do...

  I'm using now ATH-M50s for my work and white ipod earbuds when moving. Both through an iBasso D12.  I'm looking to replace or maybe just another pair of phones that can get the best of both. I used to have Senns HD555 which I found nice and not tiring as M50s, M50s have a metallic and sharp...

I have narrowed down my headphone selection to three models:   1) Sennheiser HD580   2) Beyerdynamic DT770   3) Audio Technica ATH T400   I have narrowed down my headphone search to these three models based on price and comfort level. I am not an audiophile and I don't think I...

Hi   I’m all new to this but one thing is for sure I love great audio quality. I’m interested in getting a great pair of headphones. I have read around and decided on getting the hd650’s. I currently listen to all my music on my se535’s via my laptop, great set of IEM’s which i choose from...

Hi,   anyone out there who could test both headphones and could make a comparison of both regarding sound ?   Thanks!

So...a while back I bought a pair of recabled K701s, which had a lovely tone, but in the end, the amount/impact of the bass just wasn't doing it for me.  Several headphones later, I fell in love with the HD600s, after having listened to them at the Stumptown Head-Fi Meet.  I bought them and I've...

I really want some good headphones and need some help finding them. I'm looking for accuracy over color for now, preferably open headphones, with lots of depth and a very good, wide soundstage. Clear treble, not overly bright and deep bass, but not head thumping, no sort of bass boosting, I...

I was reading a few other threads and it got me thinking what would be my perfect headphone experience. It would be great to see what the rest of you guys have as your audio nirvana.   Currently have:    Home: PC --> Corda Cantate --> HD600 (w. cardas) / AKG K701   Portable: iPod...

Hi friendly forum folks. Long time admirer, first time poster, and pretty green as far as all things audiophile are concerned. Need a little help making my first major purchase decision. Here's the scoop:   I am willing to spend about $700 on headphone + amp. I would splurge on an even...

Well, I've recently got around to buying headphones that are worth more than 10$, got Sony MDR-XB700 hand-me-downs, and my own pair of Sony MDR-7506's. I enjoy both a lot so far, but they're a bit on the electronic/synthesized sounding side of the spectrum for me.   I was wondering if a...

I don't see anyone using a Little Dot MK III with a HD-600. Do these two pair well? If not, are there any similarly priced amps that would be better? Thanks
