    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.

    Sennheiser HD6XX with ZMF Pendant SE - Incredible! Now I want tubes.

    Per the title, I've got the tube amp bug. What would be the signature differences between these oft recommended (admittedly toe-dipping level) tube amps for the HD6XX? Any pros/cons? Darkvoice 336se Crack 1.1 OTL (with or without speedball?) Eufonika H5 xDuoo TA-26 Other DIY? (I just know...

    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...

    Sennheiser HD599 vs HD6xx? Trying to decide.

    Hi, I figured this would be literally the best forum to ask this question. :) So last month I purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD599 headphones. Got them on sale. Love the color, love the sound, nothing is "wrong" with them. However, almost every forum post, YouTube review, and...

    HD 6xx upgrades?

    I'm trying to figure out where to go after the Sennheiser HD-6XX's. I find that my only issue with them is that the bass is underwhelming on them. I should clarify that I've had a chance to try the Meze 99 classics and I found them leaning towards too bass heavy for me. The headphones will see...

    Recommendations on amp for VR, HD6xx

    Basically, I'm looking at something to improve on the built in sound on my Oculus Quest 2. I currently have a Sennheiser HD6xx and a Beyerdynamic DT 880 (25 ohm version), but since the former has a replaceable cord, I was planning on using that and replacing the cord with a shorter version when...

    Deciding between HD6xx, HD58x or any other?

    I currently have the DT 990 pro which I'm very happy with (sound-wise), however, the issue I'm having is the earpads. When I first got them, my ears slightly touched the inside, but I thought it would go away when I wore them in, but they didn't, it has only gotten worse. I looked at some bigger...

    Opinions: Jotunheim+Modi3 vs DX7Pro ?

    Hello HeadFi-ers, first time poster. I created this account to ask what’s your opinion for upgrading from a Fiio Q1Mk2. Jotunheim + Modi3, or Topping DX7Pro? Read a lot of reviews, watched a lot of youtube, but I’m none the wiser; people rave about both, people hate on both, nobody compared...

    Hey guys, I've had my HiFiMAN HE-4XX for about 18 months now and before this I used Sennheiser HD6XX and Beyerdynamics DT770 (80). I've enjoyed the HE-4XX the most by quite a large margin. To me, these are a fantastic fun headphone with a decent amount of bass which I like. I'm looking to...

    Schiit Hel and HD6xx

    Anyone have opinions or experience with the pairing of Schiit Hel and HD6XX? I’ve seen Fulla 2/3 recommended before (as well as a slew of other Schiit products) but I like the Hel since it has quite a bit more power/versatility for the price. Thanks!

    Would going from the HD6XX to the Audeze Mobius be an upgrade?

    Hello all, I was recently recommended the Audeze Mobius over my HD6XXs. After looking into them, based on my limited knowledge as an audiophile trainee, I feel like they are very nice. I had someone tell me Planar is better than dynamic, but I feel like it's a preference thing ,however, I do not...

    As the title suggests, I'm looking for a budget dac amp under $100 for the HD6XX (which I am still scouting for as not many used ones ship to Malaysia). Any suggestions?

    HD6XX / HD800 / Focal Clear advice

    Hello all, I daily drove (and still do) a pair of HD6XXs with a Schitt stack (Mimby/Magni3/Loki) for about a year or more now and that has been a trusty home office setup. I don't source from anywhere fancy, just Tidal (HiFi w/ "Master" support) from a laptop so I know my sources vary and it...
