    Valhalla 2 and tubes for HD650

    Hello I'm looing to change the stock tubes on my Valhalla 2 that I use with the HD650s. It seems like when I turn it all the way up the base sounds little distorted. I use a Bifrost DAC as well. I mostly listen to trance and would like my bass and highs to sound cleaner. Just not sure what...

    HD600 VS HD650

    Hello. I currently own an Sennheiser HD600 and i was wondering about the HD650. Are the HD650 better in quality, comfort, stability? Are they any different in sound quality or the same? Are they "worse" than the HD600?

    full-size headphones at the same level as HD6XX or HD650 and similar price points?

    I am looking to buy a second-hand full-size headphone and was wondering what other headphones are out there with similar quality and pricing. Since I am buying second hand I thought to get the largest possible options to search and possibly purchase.

    What are "the HD650's" of the Amp and DAC worlds? Units that are truly clean and neutral and which most faithfully represent the digital audio file they're outputting? The "Reference Monitors" of Amps/DACs?

    Hello everyone, I'm always hesitant to make a post on Head-Fi, given how controversial so many topics in the Audiophile world are, but this is something I've been wondering for a while, and haven't been able to find answers to. It's easy to find lists of Amps and DACs that are recommended for...

    Seeking recommendations: does this headphone exist?

    Hello; I first got into headphones in 2013, when I moved and left my regular audio gear in storage for a while. I was intrigued by the differences in house sounds and so forth, and ended up with a small mid-fi collection: Sennheiser HD650, AKG Q701, Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro (250), Audio Technica...

    Side x Side x Side - The HD 600 Family

    The HD 600-series of headphones has deep roots here at Head-Fi (thank you!). Seasoned members are generally familiar with each, and some of you even own (or owned) all three at some point. For those unfamiliar with the family, choosing the right one for you means some research and hopefully a...

    HD6xx short cable recommendation?

    Hello! I currently have some Sennheiser HD6xx headphones on the way, and I'm just wondering if it's worth it to get some custom cables for it. Preferably 5 ft, since my amp is barely 2.5 feet away from my head at the computer. I see a few cheap results on Amazon.ca, but I don't have much...

    Looking for a headphone amp for my hd580/hd650 that would rival my speaker amp

    I have tried multiple amps with my Sennheisers, but the best one remains the headphone output of my vintage Akai AM-73 speaker amp. The other amps I have tried are the JDS Element, Schiit Vali 2+, Behringer UM2 interface, and a custom OTL similar in spec to the valhalla otl. None of them can...

    Troubleshooting harsh highs on left channel (Little Dot MkIII)

    Some time ago I noticed the highs on my left ear started sounding weird. I noticed it after getting my Fostex T20RP-Mk3, so at first I thought it was them but was too lazy to actually make sure it was the phones and nothing else, for warranty sake. It's not a super obvious problem, it comes at...

    Something between HD650 / X2HR?

    There's a lot of things that I like about the HD650s and the X2HRs, but then there's this one thing in each case that drives me mad. I could live with the smaller soundstage and less bass of the HD650 if it wasn't for its terrible headband (I'd like to keep my headphones stock). The X2HR are...

    Tips to reduce microphonics in HD650 cable??? Need help.

    I purchased a cable from No-Hiss cables on Etsy for fairly cheap. It was $50 or so for a balanced cable for my HD650. The cable below the splitter is good, no microphonics. Above the splitter it's terribly sensitive to touch and drives me crazy. Do you think applying a long piece of shrink...
