Hi all, it's been a few weeks (or months?) I own this cans, this cans is simply good, and i think i found a little problem with this cans (or myself)
Though i found that HD650 is a great sounding cans (They make my M50 sounds thin, like an old cheap fm radio sound), they don't sound that good out of the box, i burned them down and wait if the charcoal might sound better or worse. But after days of waiting, I found it hard to enjoy them (Foobar2k-Fiio E7/L7-Schiit Asgard/Valhalla-Hd650). Then by that time, i start questioning my decision, or myself. Somebody told me that the difference between open headphones and closed ones are rather big, that i need to adjust myself to the sound, that it's something different. So, i swapped my DAC, (Schiit Bifrost) and wait a little longer, and i no longer have any idea how long i've been waiting or what kind of thing i've been expecting. Did i expect too much or what? This cans do sound great, but that's all, it's really great, and i don't want to take them off my head, i kept the volume down to keep my hearing healthy, since funny as it sounds, i can't take this one off. But it's not mind blowing, but it's so addicting. In some music i can even feel that the singer is singing to me right to my face, i wonder if i do hear the veil or whatever gimmick or flaunt people are giving to this cans but i do hear something which is not 'right' to my ears, but i could hear the singer sing to me, i could imagine her/him in front of me, hell i feel like some recording doesn't sound right because though positioning is a bit blurry, i think i could tell the difference where the microphone are located, as if in a Drama CD, the sound should be coming from the right, but they came from somewhere in front of you.
I am lost and i wonder, am i missing something in my life? I think i haven't visited any kind of 'real' live music performance (except concert of course), so all i could do was imagining, is this sound right or not, and that's all. The problem is now, would please you kind fellas tell me some kind of reference recording so could listen to them and judge my library instead? Which would show something or explains something to me about this phenomenon? Or am i just being disappointed?
I don't know what's going on with my 'supposedly' Hi-fi life, but as addicting as it is, as wrong or as right as it is, i named this lovely cans, Mare.
