hi, i am contemplating about the th600.   so far the hd600 is my favourite, coherence, body, prat, balance and tonality is really good. looking for a little more bass, overall speed, definition and life.   didnt like: DENON models 2000,5000,7000 - sounded kind of artificial to me...

What specifications should I look for on a portable amp if I need to drive a set of Sennheiser HD600?   I see the term "hard to drive headphones" a lot. Specifically, what makes a set of headphones hard to drive?   Thanks!

Hi members,   so far I plugged my Sennies directly into my Marantz PM-94 (a beast of a solid state integrated amp). Due to the fact that I want to sell that amp and the rest of my gear I´m plannig to plug my Marantz CD-94 to a HPA. BUT: Which one shall I buy??? New or used is equal to me.

Right now I have the HD600s and Beyerdynamic DT 880 250 ohm pros which I recently bought.  I'm using E17+E9 but I'd like recommendations on amp/dac upgrades that would improve sound quality by a lot or at least a noticeable/significant amount.  Thanks.

I'm getting a second hand HD 650 but the grilles and pads are damaged. I'm fairly sure you can do this, just want to be sure. I can swap my HD 600 pads on the HD 650 and the grilles as well? Do the parts differ in any way that may change the sound?   It seems the Pads from Sennheiser have...

Hey does anyone know any good headphone stand for the sennheiser hd 600? Sorry if this is in the wrong thread.

Hey guys, I discovered head fi a couple of month ago and right now I have an important decision to take so I would appreciate your inputs.   I owned some mid-price range headphones and I am looking to give a step further. My roomate owes my $300 and is offering me his Sennheiser HD 600 which...

Hi, I have an AKG 271S and I am looking for upgrade (also 271 are not comfortable due the grip pressure). I usually listen with 6db+ on bass side with AKGs ... and that is quite OK, if still a bit dry sounding in midrange. I would like to try warmer sounding headphone, and was thinking about...

Listening to music from a Macbook pro. I'd like to keep things on the cheaper side (sub $500). I really don't know much about DACs, so any help is appreciated.    thanks in advance!    edit: just realized that I've never posted anything on the forum since joining the forum, so I guess...

Hi all,   So i've got a hd600 cable to replace the stock cable. http://www.custom-cable.co.uk/sennheiser-hd265-hd600-hd580-cable-3.5mm-jack-plug-3m-ofc.html   I know i have to crack a new hole for the other can, but the pcbs dont much and im kind of noobish when it come to DIY. Any ideas...

I'm interested in a new set of cans, however because I cannot easily try out various headphones I am reliant on the internet. I have been primarily been interested in the HD600s, however I am unsure if they meet my preferences. I will attempt to illustrate what I wish my next pair of headphones...

I have spent a lot of money to buy headphones, I was always avoiding HD600 due to its price, but I am very eager to have it   I don't want to spent 400$ ... So is there any chance to get it for 200-250 $?   It is kind of desperate man's question I can't find any place :(   P.S. I don't...

Hello.   I'd like to know your thoughts on these 3 headphones - Amperior, HD600 and HD650. Which one do you prefer? I know that all of them are very good in mids and highs. But which one has the best bass? Bass is important to me because I mostly listen to Hiphop. I'm new to Head-fi and I...

Intro:   I decided to finally replace my ear cushions on my headphones. They were pretty disgusting; the foam was mostly disintegrated and the velour was matted beyond repair. I, of course, looked to see what a new set of ear cushions cost and was shocked to see they were well over $60 on...

Hello! Thanks for your time, this is my plight:   I have an HD558 and i pair it with a Fiio E7K with my laptop as the source.   I plan on getting the Sennheiser HD600's this winter, and i am aware that my Dac/amp combination is probably not very efficient for it.   I have read up on...

Hi Guys,   So i'm in the market for some new headphones.   Just to give a quick rundown of my previous experience; my first pair of decent headphones were some AD900's. Loved them but found they were lacking on the bass front. This lead to me purchasing some Hifiman He-400's a while ago...

Hello People,   I have just received my Sennheiser HD 600. Up until now I have used a Samson SR 850 (I think these were something around 50 bucks or something), but the cable went bad. I have a Behringer UCG 102 guitarlink USB DAC to whos HP out I connect my headphones. I compared both...

Hi all, Just a quick question. I am looking to buy either the HD 600 or 650. Whichever one i get, I plan on replacing the stock cable with the SAA E-series cable. I know there is debate over which headphone is better, but I'm wondering if, with the SAA cable, one is clearly better than the...

I thought I should finally join after dropping into the forum for years.   Current equipment is as stated:   Sennheiser HD-600s, bought about 13 years ago. Finally getting new foams for them, as the old ones deteriorated whilst in storage for a few years.   Sennheiser CX-400 IIs, my...

I am looking to switch headphones from my current AKG K702s and have been very interested in the Sennheiser HD600s as of late. I have two concerns about them though: 1 - Do they handle electronic music well? 2 - Will my Objective 2 be able to amp them properly   Any help or personal...

Choo Choo is way off the track now.  Lets get it back on track.   So I was checking on my order for the Schiit Asgard on my work computer (slightly against the rules, but I had to know) and a buddy walked over and said, "What kind a schiit is that your looking at? That is not work...

Able to play most of genres with lil compromise?   ddnt have the chance to audition the Fostexs…   So far, its the T1; granted that you can pair it with a very good amp (HE6 is the hardest to drive and followed by T1)

At present. I am using an Opera Consonance Cyber 20 (transformer-coupled EL-84 SE amplifier, outputting 1W into 32 Ohms) with these two headphones. I find it is a very good match for the HE-500s, only sometimes I wish for a brighter, faster, more incisive sound. With the HD600s, I enjoy the...

I'm on a budget but want to get some Senn HD600's. I'm not so nieve to believe I don't need an amp with a little power, but I'm realistic to know I can't spend more than $200 on an amp. I currently have a Fiio E10, but would this be enough. I know Fiio is cheap so how about the new E12 or the...

Hey,   I'm currently the owner of a pair of AKG K702s but am really considering making the switch to HD600s. Should I? Why or why not? Also, what should I expect (similarities and differences) if I do make the switch? Thanks for any help with this dilemma.
