HI all,
First post here ! However I've been doing quite a bit of reading, thanks.
I've just bought myself a set of HD600's. On first listen I was very dissapointed, so much so that I thought my amp or something must be innapropriate.
Three days later I'm thinking I may have a faulty set of cans.
The sound I am getting is very bass heavy and lacking in high mids and highs.
I have driven the HD600's with the headphone amp in my Sound Devices Usbpre 2, and also from my Sony PCM D-50. Both provide me with plenty of level and the exact same bass heavy sound. I'm aware that neither is a dedicated HP amp however they are also both very good units, especially the Sound Devices.
The source has been both mastered music and self recorded files at 24/48 as well as Mp3's. The result always the same.
I have switched in my trusty set of HD280 pro's and they sound fine (for what they are.)
Is there something I'm missing here? I've not experienced it yet but I read here about the sound changing over the first few hundred hours of use... could this be the cause? I mean, at the moment they sound terrible.
Has anyone else encountered a dud set? Are there fakes?
Thanks for your time,
cheers, Mikey
