Hi, guys! I’m completely new to the audiophile world and just purchased my first pair of audiophile headphones, used on AVexchange... Sennheiser HD650’s. I purchased these spontaneously, not thinking about the fact that I’ll need an amp/dac setup to drive them optimally. I was already...

Hi Can you propose me a direct upgrade for senh hd650 that will be up to 450$? Thanks

Hey there. I've been an audio enthusiast for long years, but pretty new to the headphones world. I recently bought a Modi 3 - Valhalla 2 - HD650 combo to use while I'm working, and have been immediately sucked in and living inside of the headphones ever since. After much browsing in these forums...

What’s the must-have gold standard of IEMs? What’s a good model of IEMs with a sound profile similar to the revered Sennheiser HD650s? I love that “dark”, relaxed sound. I’m looking for something that’s not too bright - I don’t need any boosts to the sibilance in my 70s rock’n’roll...

Hello, I bought a HD650 many years ago but never used it. i am planning on getting a HDVA600 recently and try to build a system. I want to use my desktop to listen to music. What are the components i'm missing here? Do I need to get a DAC? The motherboard i'm using is Gigabyte H370 gaming 3...

I have taken apart my beloved HD600s in order to remove hairs. It's a very organic hobby, this headphone thing. My speakers don't smell like me or have hairs caught in them. Anyway, the process of unsnapping the plastics apart caused me much stress and consternation, and in the process I have...

Here is another review/shootout, this time the with my new LCD-3, again using the HD650 as comparison (HEX V2/LCD-3 coming next). Source is Macbook to Grace SDAC to Schiit Magni 2. Model type/year: The LCD-3 I have a 2018 maple model, with carbon fiber headband. I have heard other models, but...

Hi everyone, Christmas has finally rolled around and I have some extra money to play with. I am new to the headphone/audiophile world and am looking for some recommendations/comments on some gear I am looking to pickup. Here are a few details about what I am looking for and what I have: TLDR: I...

Hi. I want to upgrade my current DAC (PCi-Express soundcard Creative SoundBlaster RX) to something more dedicated to audio quality, because this $70usd card points to other things also, like gaming, 5.1 audio and low latency recording. So i want a better DAC just for pure sound quality and not...

Hi, this is my first post and it will concern sidegrades to hd6xx. Bought an hd6xx and I like the way it sounds but it never blew me away. As I spend more time with them I like them more and I feel like the warm signature has grown on me. I must say that vocals are awesome on them. It is really...

Recently, after trying out many, many headphones at the local store (HD800S, Focal Clear, Elear, Audeze LCD-2f & 2C, MrSpeakers AFO, Ananda, Sundara, Beyer Amiron Home) I bought their HEX V2 demo model. I was looking to improve on my HD650s. After a listening to many tracks (about 50/50...

So, from left to right: HD800, HD650 (silver damping), HD600 (black damping), HD545. Not pictured is my girlfriends HD650 with black mesh. All pads on the headphones are new OEM pads. I also have listening tests with a set of pads I highly recommend purchasing if you need them, and these are the...

Hey guys i have a very specific problem. Basically, I own the hd650 and JDS lab the element AMP/DAC. So at first I started noticing a buzzing noise in the right ear cup when the bass goes low and loud, after hours of trying to figure out the problem I found out by opening the grills and pressing...

hi guys i i own the hd650 and have it connected JDS LAB the element dac/amp and was wondering if anyone had the chance to measure the decibels when its on max volume high gain. even if some of you measured it on a schiit stack or o2/odac i would like to know

I recently purchased the Senneiser HD650s. I'm currently using the Fiio E17k to power them. I will upgrade to balanced cables in the near future. I want to upgrade my dac/amp. Should I invest in something like the Schiit Jotunheim with a DAC card or a separate DAC and AMP? My budget is between...

hey guys i recently asked some advise on the HD650 and jds lab the element and i was surprised by all the replies, love the community here. Now i just wanted to ask when it comes to the HD650 i heard its a pretty neutral headphone and was wondering do i need to download an equalizer application...

Hi! I have been a little obsessed with these premium headphones for a while now, and decided that I must have one. The ones that I have caught my eye is the HD600 and HD650 (and possibly HD660s). I have read a ton of reviews of the 600 and 650, and I just go back and forth between them thinking...

Hi all, I am new to this site, but was hoping to get some recommendations regarding accessories for the RNHP Headphone Amplifier. My current setup includes a 2017 MacBook Pro (with TIDAL), a 3.5mm cable from the headphone jack to the RNHP Headphone Amplifier, and a pair of Sennheiser HD650...

Hello im a newbie in the audiophile world but i think i did a good first step after buying my Hd 650. I still have my old Hd 598 that i have been using for several years with my laptop and cellphone. Now clearly i can’t do the same with the hd 650, so which Dac/Amp should i buy with limited budget ?

Hello guys, new user and audiophile newbie here! I have recently introduced myself and I'm here gathering ideas and opinions about a future upgrade from my current setup. A brief summary: I have recently upgraded the aging K242HD cans I got many years ago to a pair of Sennheiser HD6XX. I'm...

Greetings, Head-fiers, First of all, a little bit of introduction is due. I've been lurking this forum for a long time and it has grown into my first-stop resource for most of my audio-related questions. I would like to express my gratitude for all the useful information you (the whole...

Been using HD650 for many years and its easily been the best headset ive ever used. But im looking to enhance my experience in games and ive read so much about this that i dont know whats true anymore. HD700 supposedly have a bigger soundstage while some claim its just an illusion haha. But...

I plan on buying the HD650 soon, and have decided on Schiit Magni as the amp. Since i already have a Fiio Q1 driving the MSR7, figured why not use that as the DAC source for the Magni ? 3.5 mm to RCA converter from the back of the Q1 to the Schiit. Reason being that id hate the already lying Q1...
