whats the color difference of the boxes? which one is the new one?

The newer one is on the right. What will you deduce from that?

nothing special. I just wonder why they changed it. i'm still learning these headphones. i only have this and my hd600.

Different colored boxes could be one is a pirate copy, these things happens

No, they were both genuine for sure, and I haven’t heard of any fakes of these.

FWIW the old box looks like all of the other boxes I’ve seen (and they were the faulty ones) whereas the colouring of the new box (of the orange driver covers for instance) is identical to the colours on the new NDH 20 Black Edition box.

so those are the balanced ones

My box is even more neutrally colored. There is no pink/orange hue on the silver/grey parts of the image. And the two channels of the headphone are finely balanced.

I think that just proves that you can’t tell anything from the colour of the box!

 

[Mike F]

And who knows about the serial numbers...... purely sequential, batch specific.....?

Here’s mine. You can see from the white labels that there is a colour cast in the photo, but even so......

Well, the warmer box hue is more appropriate for Christmas! Happy Christmas holidays!

i was just joking
anyway, it wasn't easy to get used to the NDH-30 after the HD600, i missed that airy natural feeling first. but somehow, slowly i found that all the sounds have more "weight" in the Neumanns... i don't know. i'm still learning the words how to express my experience.

Be sure to wear the headphones properly: the cable on your right ear. The drivers are off center and inclinated so if you wear them backwards you have a loss of high frequencies.
The "weight" that you get with the Neumann is the very low bass that the HD 600 reproduce weakly.

yes, I'm aware of that.
anyway, Neumanns changed the way I listen to music, now I don't listen the tracks as a whole, I listen to concrete sounds, little details, etc.. amazing experience. it even helped me to enjoy HD600 more, comparing the differences.
