Earlier today I met up with fellow head-fier Virometal and we swapped phones. I'm going to be borrowing his Sony SA5K's for a week or so.
I am currently on the first song and let me start off by saying WOW
First song is Time from Dark Side of the Moon
I can definitely understand what that veil of sennheisers are. These are upfront.. not bright like the Grados but the instruments are definitely right there. I feel like there is also more seperation. At first it was almost annoying but it feels like the guitar is ONLY in the right ear. I'm getting used to it now but it wasnt so prominently one sided with the HD600's.
I'd say that I like the vocals more on the HD600's.. but all the instruments sound better on these SA5K's.
I know that my amplifier isn't doing either phones justice.. but its all I have for them right now, and its enough to hear the differences anyways. I'm on the list for the HeadFive and I plan on trying out an old vintage tube amp that I hear good things about.
Anyways.... bbaaaccck to listening.
