Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Review & Measurements

I was wondering something similar. I didn't catch that the bottom half of the yoke was matte vs the rest of the headphone being glossy until yesterday. Seems like an odd choice that I'm not super happy with. I like consistancy :p

Gotta catch em all! :smile:

Each pair is stock. The 580 is a later model and was basically NIB when I got it earlier this year. Just had to replace the headband padding. The 580 Jubilee's look almost unused with the pads/headband cushions recently replaced. 600/650 are the most recent revisions.
Drool. That's some serious porn right there

Beautiful collection, you have them all, and I love how they are displayed together! Bravo!

So, as is typical with most new to me headphones - I'm hearing new things in familiar songs. The HD58x is a vocal monster. It's revealing a lot of new detail. I'm impressed. It's so strange how you hear different things or at least different things emphasized by different headphones. I'm not sitting here focusing either - the details are just evident.

Someone tell me why Senn would offer these up for $150 when the 660 is $499. Baffling.

Got in on the drop a couple days ago and looking forward to comparing the 58X with my 6XXs. There's also another run of the Dekoni aftermarket pads if anyone is interested in trying out different pads.

As for cosmetic mods, instead of the headband assembly, I personally am interested in replacing the grilles with 660S grilles, but it's probably not worth the cost, lol.

Thanks guys. I may try to knock out a quick comparison review of the 58x vs the rest of it's buddies.

If they would sell these retail, I'd guess the price would be anything between 299 € and 399 €. Cheapness may be a marketing stunt for these new drivers. Who knows what they are planning to do with these... Maybe put them in HD 59x style shell and position them between HD 599 and HD 700 price wise (or closer to HD 700).

What haedphone hanger are you using? Where did you get it? It looks basic but seems to do the job well.

Ok list your favorite to least in order

I can do that, just need to get a feel for the HD58x's first.

I will say this, the Lyr 3 pairs up with them nicely.
