I asked about a week ago and Jan said that there would be enough to last at least another month. I guess that's open to interpretation.

Anyone has headsix with 2move?i'd like to know how is it in terms of SQ?Thanks

DOUGHN,

I use my Headsix with either E4c's or PX100's when mobile with an iPod 160GB Classic playing mostly Apple lossless. I was on a long coach trip over the last few days (with an u13 boys rugby team) and having seen your post beforehand, I tried to do a reasonable listening comparison with and without the Headsix. It does improve the bass through the E4c's. It is more "forward" in the mix and more clearly defined. They are still not the IE's to get if you want "strong" bass, but through the Headsix you get a more balanced sound whilst retaining the superb mid and high detail and clarity.

Any amp will improve the bass on most portable players. Almost no portable player is able to drive low impedance phones properly without a severe roll-off in the bass registers - an amp takes the load off the crappy internal amp of a DAP and fixes the frequency response (among other things). But yeah, the Headsix is a nice amp to do so.

Recieved my Headsix today. Have to say that this little thing really surprised me. I did not expect it to sound this good, right out of the box even. Can't wait to burn it in. I will probably use my dt770's with it when I'm in my car. Great product, recommend it.

 

[d4lj337]

how would this amp sound with the 250 version of the DT770? anyone tryed them out?

 

[eiop]

another request...how do these sounds with AKG 701's? I'm thinking about picking up a set (damnit, the money is flying away)

 

[raptor84]

I tried it briefly with my friend's 701 while helping him run it in(from 32h to almost 450h). It does give a nice warm signature to it but cannot really drive it with authority. If you like the Mier sound you might wanna try a 2move as it has the high current mode which might work better.

Got my silver amp today. Jan shipped it on 1/31 like he promised but the wonderful Chicago Post Office must have sat on it for a while. I don't have a 9V here at work so it'll have to wait until I get home for a listen

When I placed the order, I thought I had mad a mistake not ordering a black one to match my iPod but I really do like the silver now that I see it.

 

[Audio-Omega]

I bought one to go with my laptop for movies. I wanted The Tomahawk but it was too expensive for only a few hours of listening a week. All I'm after is a cheaper good amp, hopefully it won't disappoint.

i am using the headsix right now but i do not know if it's in high gain or low gain. what is the stock set-up?
if i want to change the gain, i need to open up the chassis with a screw driver. is it easy to do?

 

[dfkt]

High gain is the default setting - the two jumpers on the circuit board next to the battery connectors are bridged (as shown in the Headsix manual). Remove the jumpers for low gain.

Don't try to open the Headsix with the crappy included screw driver - you'll very likely just mangle the screws. With a proper screw driver however the Headsix is very easy to open.

(BTW - What is wrong with this thread? Why does it expand over such a large width? Holy broken CSS... the other threads on Head-Fi don't do that.)

What is the preferred gain setting for Grado SR80? I'm currently running it on the default gain.

I tried that and looks like I've actually mangled the screws. HELPPPP!!!! How do I remove the screws?

Definitely low gain.
