What is it with cheap old Sennies and their ability to not only compete with but for my tastes completely annihilate most of the new competition? It’s baffling to say the least.
Not that I’m complaining. I paid something like a 100$ for what effectively is my ‘endgame coconut’ and I was prepared to pay about 20 times as much for the very same result:)

Nice post. I feel the same way about my HD-600 (having owned the HD-580 Precision). Others feel this way about the 650 or 660S. For sure the Sennheiser 6-series (including the 580 here) is special.

Haha! Thanks. You know, I started doing this to my headphones because I found that I was using my Bose QC35 most of the time even though I didn't really like the sound and I didn't want the noise cancelling at home. It was just so convenient to wear them. I then made a "wireless" version of my HD600 with an ES100 and really liked the results.

By the time I'm done, I think all of my headphones will be franken-wireless!

You win for best wireless!!!

Not long begun my journey into headphone side of things. Just received my HD600s yesterday to compare to the HIFIMan HE35X, currently listening on Amazon Music HD using an iPhone 11 via a Schiit Stack, Magni/Modi 3.

That's the way to start out and maybe you're done. Hard to beat a pair of 600s.

Inbound LCD-4 necessitates inventory rebalancing. Which one would you sell to make room?

My vote would be TH-X00...it strikes me as the weak link in this collection (owned one, sold it because of grainy/etched treble). It does have good sub-bass, but so do others here.

nope. I won't remove it. the sub bass is just sublime. It cannot mimicked by the others. I was thinking of that as well due to it's the least pricey amongst them. But, there is still space on top shelf. :wink:

It is also my first "real" headphone so it has sentimental value.
