dont be scared to use headsix with big phones.
i often use my hd650 and dt990 250ohm with headsix, and it performs very well.

How do I switch it to the low gain setting...instructions....?

I am using it withmy custom IEM's and it sound good, but I think the lower would be better since I barely turn it on as of now!

Remove the back panel and battery. Unscrew the two front panel screws and slide the case off. Look for a jumper on the citcuit board, and move it change the gain. Reassemble.

I had to do this for my Livewires a while back, but already forgot what it looks like inside.

Hope this helps

like headphoneaddict said, open then box at those tiny screws - be careful not to strip the heads - and slide it out

there should be a jumper there connecting 2 pins together (maybe 2 jumpers, connecting 2 pins each). Just disconnect them by having the jumper being only on one pin.

reassemble!

your headsix should have come with a manual tho - I guess you got it second hand and thus the manual wasn't with it anymore?

*has already ordered Freqshows for his headsix* XD

Thanks for the replies.

It was easy...good thing I have a lot of tiny screwdrivers!

The sound better now and the volume in much more fluid. The high gain was jumpy and distorted when moving the pot. The low gain is very smooth.

Good shape！

Does this drive the Denon 2000s well?

How does it compare to the Corda 2MOVE? Or Arietta (yes, I know it's not portable)?

How many (approx.) of each colour is left?

Thanks, Brendan

I am not happy with the headsix and my K701's. At first I was, but after a few months went by, I feel that the 701's just need more power. I use the headsix with my ER6i's and think it is a perfect combo. It gives then the added bass boost and I coundn't be happier with this combo.
I guess I will have to get something with more power for my K701's, maybe a desk amp.

yea k701s aren't really what it was made for. Did you try changing the gain? If you like the er6i you should try the er4p or er4s with an amp

Hey Guys,

This is an update for switching from high gain to low gain
I did what you had indicated - "Open the amp by unscrewing the tiny screws - be careful not to strip the heads - and slide it out. There should be a jumper there connecting 2 pins together (maybe 2 jumpers, connecting 2 pins each). Just disconnect them by having the jumper being only on one pin."

There actually 2 connectors each having it's own jumper. I diconnected 1 leaving the other intact, but what happend was the sound was more pronouced which ever side the jumper was on. So I finally just disconnected both and the sound balanced out.

Just an update, and thanks to all

Lol, of course, the jumpers are for the left and right channel, respectively.

With "one pin" the original poster meant you don't remove the jumpers completely from the Headsix, but put them in a way on the pins so they don't bridge the contact.

I've been listening to my D2 through my Headsix and a set of MS-2i's for a few months now and am quite happy. Happy enough to quit looking for more gear and just get down and listen to music. I even use the amp between the D2 and my car stereo (Really nice bass boost).
The only issues are: the crunchy pot (OK when I'm not moving it, though) and the placement of the LED almost under the volume knob. I've run through a few batteries by inadvertantly leaving the amp on. If the LED were more visible this might not happen.
Don't get me wrong....I'm very happy.

Is anyone using the PX100 with the Headsix and if so, what did you think?
