One of the best systems I have ever listened to was a Sony SCD-1-->Headroom Max (older model)-->HD650 or 600 with Mobius cable. I could easily live with this setup. It was incredible. The main reason I don't own a pair of Senns is because I find they clamp and I get a headache. I always marvelled at the comments that Grados were uncomfortable and Senns were very comfortable. This was a complete opposite for me as well as my wife. Just goes to show that different strokes for different folks also pertains to the fit and finish not just the sound.

These were much less "colored" to me than the GS-1000. The HD580/HD600 is definitely more neutral compared to the HD650, it's a mistake on my part that I didn't include it. Sorry about that elitism comment rob, just a little annoying when people blow off new users. It's really obvious in the IEM threads, I just try and avoid them now. |
