Headphone Sightings 2

Talked briefly with a gentleman on the Brown/Green line platform wearing Senn HD600s with a short aftermarket cable on them. He didn't seem too bothered by the lack of isolation, or by driving them from his phone (Samsung?).

My train came before I could ask if he was on HeadFi.

At 97db/mW, they're pretty sensitive enough to be driven straight from a phone. I think he doesn't mind the lack of dynamics since it's in a public setting.
Who knows, maybe he'll be going home to his desktop setup? :D

I didn't want to make another thread for this so here's my quick question: At only 50Ohms, do you guys think I could drive the HD558s directly from my phone? I could probably get a EO7K if I need one.

Yes, but it won't sound at it's best. But it's listenable.

Probably saw a head fier today. Was in a crowded bus to school and saw a teen with se215s but with a custom SPC cable. If I'm not wrong, he was using X5 as source ( or at least that's what it looked like )



If you saw me I was in school uniform with green CIEMs and a custom SPC cable

  I saw a guy wearing Sennheiser HD 800's on the bus... and they were around his neck! I was like... uh you're gonna REALLY wear 1400 dollar headphones in public and not even use them? -_- 

Doubt they would even be usable.
