Great amp you just don't like them it happens I never liked the hd650 when it was everyone's favorite I listened to Nora jones last night if she a
Was any closer she would be in my lap i wish
LOL everyone does I think. She's a local gal... went to Dallas Arts Magnet with a bunch of my pals funnily enough. It must have felt pretty sweet to perform at the Meyerson next door once her album took off.
I bought the PS500 today! I'm enjoying the headphones as I type. David thanks again for putting this thread together, it made the process of selecting a pair quick for me. I feel these are the best cans for me under $1000. I'm in the process of searching for a portable amp now.
MacedonianHero: Sorry, that's not so. /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Anyone have more details on the new Electrostats coming? Expected dates, how much? etc.? Heh..and how quickly can David get a review up on them, assuming they are flagship worthy...
Higher-end electrostats aside, I just haven't heard a better headphone than the HD800 as of this point in time. It's comfortable, huge soundstage, and amazingly transparent. Just needs the right source/amp combination and it's pretty much unbeatable & fairly affordable too.
I just replaced all parts on my HD650 thinking it was worth it because I had one of the world's best headphones... then I read this post! doh!
Ranked 20th?!
If it had of at least been in the top 10, I could live with that... but to know there are 19 other headphones better than what I have - and maybe some cheaper too (haven't price checked them yet) - that is just a tough pill to swallow.
Do I sell my HD650's and buy something else?
I am loyal to my family, friends, wife etc - I would never think about upgrading them (really lol)
But headphones - not so much...
Anyone care to offer some sage advice? Ditch the HD650's and get something else or stick it out with them??
My budget about $750
I decided to try and sell my HD650's for $450 (here in Canada).
I included spare parts with it (brand new cable, 1 capsule & 2 earpads).
Pending on the sale, I will likely buy the HD800 or go for the HE-500 (if I can find them - doesn't seem to be any in Canada).
I hope when I do get the pricier headphones it is worth it.
