Found my 6xx to be totally dull and boring. That was before i listened to YouTube reviewer Metal 571 who is a huge fan of the 600 series. He strongly recommended a pad change very often with sennheisers pads only. He said sound degrades very quickly.
I changed my somewhat worn 6xx pads and the sound improvement is not to be believed. The fidelity came back in spades! Love the Rebel amp pairing with the 6xx now.

I'm looking to purchase the ZMF Leather Perforated pads for my HD650. Can someone tell me how they compare to OEM pads.
Also if someone has a set they would like to sell let me know.

Hd 650 with a Feliks euphoria hype is real

HD650 with Ultimate is more real and I've owned Euforia for 2 years.

Strange how my journey with tube amps started with this tiny fish. Might I add that HD650 and HD800 sounded great with it.

A true gateway drug

There's my Euforia from 20th May 2017. An iconic photo with 3 iconic gear. You could say that I love tube amps.

I have been using the zmf pads for a few days. I find they get rather hot and uncomfortable after about an hour. I think the headphones are a bit tight on my head. Any way of loosening them a bit. My fostex t60 cans with larger pads re much more comfortable.

Luka by Suzanne Vega just popped up on random play while wearing HD600 and its times like these I wonder why I ever even bothered trying any other headphones in my low to mid fi limited world.

I remember when I first bought my HD650 years ago, I use to put them over a shoe box when not using it to stretch it. This goes on for several months. Then one day, it felt good.

Thanks. Will try that.

That is usually a mistake. You're not really stretching the headband but rather compressing the earpads which is not desirable. The best way to reduce the clamp remains the same. Extend the cups fully and gently bend the metal band on each size. Test and repeat until you get it to fit your head. I've done this on at least a dozen pair of Senns.

Good advice. Thanks.
