I just Bought a an Asus Vulcan pro gaming headset on a whim and I've gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised so I thought id share my experience.  Now let me qualify this, I'm not saying they have the same great styling ect I mean they are defiantly styled toward a certain demographic. I always love...

I once have considered buying a Stax system which lost to the HD650 and a Graham Slee amp. The major reason why was simply because I liked the latter's sound better and because I was scared of the way electrostatics work. I plan on getting a Stax system now that I sold my HD800, Vioelectric, and...

I invited 3 friends over to my house to finally try out some of my gear that I've been raving about for months. This gear consisted of..... Sennheiser HD650 Sennheiser HD600 AKG K701 Beyers DT880 Pro Beyers DT770 (250 ohm) 2005 Denon D5000 Ultrasone Proline 750 Audio Technica W5000...

Did it happened to you to be scared by the clear separation of the sounds of HD650 ? I am listenining to Iron Maiden Sventh Son of a Seventh Son and some instruments in the melody came forward so clear (drums , cymbals etc) that sometimes i jumped from my chair while working, and looked around...

Hey guys,   I've never owned a pair of higher mid-range cans and was wondering if you guys could offer your input in terms of sound signatures etc. I'm in the market to pick some up for listening at work. I just noticed Hifiman is doing the HE-300 / EF-3 for $250, which is a freakin' steal...

it has to be that the HD650 has a veil. ohh how i've tried to find it, this veil they all talk about. just did the hearing thresholds through the hd650 at http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/hearing.html from one of the other threads, and i'm pleased to report, from my ears, the 650 is sweet and...

I've had my HD650s for a couple of years and I love them, they're sound signature is beautiful, however I'm finding their performance lacking in faster, more complicated music. For slow music, or music with less treble and fewer instruments they are amazing; smooth, laid back, and non fatiguing...

This is a review of the Shure SE315 in-ear monitor (IEM). IMO the SE315 is a sleeper. Let me explain.   But first, the obligatory photo.     Strophe   Shure has been quietly refining its IEM design over the last decade, and gaining increasing recognition for ots products. You could argue...

Hi,   I currently own a pair of HD-650's and Shure SE215's. My main source will be a MacBook Pro with a Dragonfly 1.2 DAC.   I'm due to go traveling doing the digital nomad lifestyle, everything I own in a 40lt carry on. The HD-650's are to big to take unfortunately and being open back are...

hi I really love sound of the Hifiman He500 but sold it cause it was heavy for my head.....   now when Oppo pm-2 is released and got many positive feedbacks i want to get it...but with that price i can get a hd6500 or hd600 with bottlehead crack, that i heard is a amazing combo..   will the...

I got my HD600s in the mail today and to my surprise the box says "Made in Ireland." I thought they were made in China only except for the HD800 and the like. Am I lucky or are many HD600s made in Ireland?

Hey guys, I just want to say firstly that my entire audio build is based off this site and your guys recommendations. I am NOT an expert at audio equipment, but would like to start experiencing and learning more. In 2010 I bought my Denon D5000s after posting a thread asking about direction. I...

Hi guys, I was hoping you could offer me some advice and / or suggestions. Recently I've been using IEM's and headphones when working overtime at the office. I'm currently using my Momentums, but since I'm usually the only person left on my floor (or the last person to leave the building), I...

I just got the Fidelio X1's and they are very nice compared to my Audio Technica ATH-M50s but thats to be expected. I like these as they have very nice sound stage. I kind of want to return these and get the HD650's because I've seen EVERYONE review and like these. If I were to switch I normally...

I'll mainly be listening to multiple genres of Metal, but mainly the faster, more bass-inclined material.   I started out going for the HD 650, since they're highly praised, until I heard that they weren't good for what I wanted.    It basically went downhill from there. I think I was...

Hello everyone. Hope you're having a good weekend.   I've had my HE-500 for quite a while now, and Im wondering if I should bring it a little sister. Im considering an HD-650, because the sound signature is suppose to be similar, and I always liked Senn's.   How will the HD650 compliment the...

Hey guys, I just recently bought some HD650's from eBay and they do sound great but the boxing seems to be different to everyone on the internet. I have verified the ID with the Sennheiser website and it was confirmed to be legit but as I said, I have not seen this packaging before, can you guys...

Hi all,   I'm fortunately enough to participate in both mass drop k7xx as well as the adorama HD650 for 315. I think I'll only keep one headphone though...   This will be my first foray into high-end open headphones, coming from se535 and ah-M50.   What do you guys think?   I bet both...

Hello currently i have a schiit mangi and modi  and you might know is a low impedance amp , i currently use them with my sennheiser 598HD but i want to get a 650HD would anything happen apart from not having it full capacity? i would eventually upgrade the amp of course

Hi guys, I've been doing a lot of trolling reading up on a new amp. Still need some advice from my fellow head-fiers. I have an HD650 and RS1i running out of a DAC19DSP/Little Dot Micro Tube combo. I quite enjoy the combo, but am wondering if I can do better? Read up on Little Dots, Schiit...

Missed USPS delivery on Saturday, that made me lost some sleep on Sunday as well. 1st thing in the morning on Monday (today), I went to post office in parjamas with my hair stood up like unicorn, but I did not give crap. My Ninja black WA22 arrived with a well packed box, with "fragile" ...

Hi Head-Fiers !   I've been told that this combo is amazing for the Seenheiser HD 650. The thing is that I also have a pair of AKG K702. Would they work nicely with this amp too ?   What about the characteristics of the amp ? I mean, if it's a DIY amp, since we're not all THAT experimented...

I am a longtime Head-Fi user but have not really used the site in several years because I thought I finally reached a settling point and happy medium with my audio equipment. I thought wrong and I am back and looking for an integrated amplifier with a USB DAC for my HD650 headphones which is...

I'm after a warm, lush liquid and romantic sounding amp on a budget would the LD M2 be a good match? Is this amp better then the E12?

Hi I'm just getting replacing my HD650 headphones. I just got a very expensive silver replacement cable and I use a Musiland Monitor 2 to connect them from my computer to an old powerful  Sansui amp from the 1970s. I find this set up gives very good sound.   I don't know a lot about DACs/DAPS...
