What are some of your guys' favorite tracks to play on these?
Electronic is blowing my mind so much with instrument isolation and energy. There is a bit of sibilance on poorly recorded female vocals but it's really not that harsh like I was expecting, but if it's recorded well, even the highest vocals SHINE on my set.
And most if not all male vocals are greeeat.
They are very revealing too! I keep thinking one side is slightly louder than the other, but I flip them and change channels, and I don't hear it. Then I read threads of people thinking the same thing (except not with HE-400s, HD650's ironically enough), and then I thought left side had slight rattle but it's just artifacts in the mastering or recording that I can pick up since they get isolated well too. Confirmed the same distortion with my Sennheiser PX90 and PX100's.
And easily driven! My iPhone 5 can play them at ample volume, except detail and clarity kicks back a notch of course relative to O2+ODAC.
My OCD needs to end! I've read too much on here about QC issues, and I gotta stop trying to look for issues. Because as far as I can tell, this set is great. It's also either r2 or 3.5 or whatever you want to call it. Not first and not the sandy yellow third
Just got a refund on my HD650's too from Amazon. Glad they didn't charge restocking (as I expected them to not).
I think they are more comfortable as well, despite my initial worries.
Anything by AIR is awesome, but I like Cherry Blossom Girl. Planar is much quicker than dynamic.
I need to keep my eye on the volume knob. 12 oclock is more than loud enough for most things. I've gone to 2-3 oclock, but over time that's just gonna murder my already probably slightly deteriorated hearing from shows when I was younger
