Can't they just bring the HD250 back? That's what a closed Sennheiser should be IMO.
Maybe I missed this on the thread, but does anyone know how the VB system works?
Presumably it's some form of passive electrical EQ (can't be physical / acoustic as on COP, as it is only on one side, and as there doesn't appear to be a power source, it can't be active).
im 26 and what these are, are freaking hideous.People who said this looks ugly, how old are you? This is obviously targeted to millenials and Gen Z, so I'm quite curious if older people find this ugly. I personally find it pretty cool looking (I'm 24 this year).
Right side cable entry also makes sense since I usually put my phone/DAP in my right pocket, so this would reduce cable tangling. The cable not being removable kinda sucks though.
I'm about worried about the recessed mids but I think V-shape sound signature is quite popular among millenials, judging on how popular the ATH M50x is for this demographic. Won't speculate more on SQ since I haven't listened to it.
Although I do agree that Senn shouldn't have named this HD 630, I think people here have too much premature negativity. Wait for more reviews or try it yourself first. Overall I find this headphone quite interesting and I'd definitely audition them once it comes out.
If you look at a pair of HD650s, form clearly follows function, although an aluminium frame would be nicer than a plastic one...
If it sounds anything remotely like the SZ2000 throw it in the can.
I hung out on the SZ2000 thread a week ago for awhile to see what it was about, and it definitely doesn't seem like it would be my type of preferred bass, either. High-pitched, "boomy" bass that bleeds into the midrange and drowns it out? Midrange lacking detail?
Not for me, either. I like how one guy on this HD630VB thread called it a "fart cannon"! :bigsmile_face: Ha Ha
