Hey Precioussss, how’s about a date...?

Indeed, the rings are a big improvement. I'm not sold easily on Snake Oil products (cables) 😜 but these are money well spent. Precious! F.Y.I, Jada only flies First Class mail if you're interested. @jonathan c can give you the all the Dirty Low Down details on what you can expect. 😉

Thanks for the offer. It’s tempting, but I’m more of a leg man…🤗

My coworker has a 6XX which I got to try today. I was highly impressed. And this was without an amp or dac and straight out of a new Macbook pro. He was using an EQ app with an EQ profile for the 6xx (it wasn't sonar works). With the EQ it was much better.

I might end up picking up a pair.

I have the 650 and can honestly say it's my only pair of HP's that I don't use an eq with.

To my ears, the HD650 with the Custom Cans mod is my end game. I've been adding about +1.5 db of bass shelf since I got it a month ago but recently went naked with no EQ. Still blown away by how it sounded to my ears. They've been in my stable for almost a decade and while I've had other love affairs (e.g. with planars etc.), I've kinda held on to them for nostalgia. Who would have thought that all it took was a small mod to turn them into what I've been looking for all this time.

I have not touched my Hifimans since I've done the CC mod. With each passing day, I am getting closer to selling one of them...crazy!

I generally don't EQ any of the headphones I own. Having said that, with the exception of the Fostex TH-X00, all my headphones I feel could benefit from a slight EQ.

Yeah they sounded really good. Not as impressive on the Dell Latitude that I use (I'm in IT, I use both a Mac and a Windows PC). The Mac definitely sounds better.
