  Normally, a comparison like this might work but the HD700 is pretty sensitive. I could drive mine up to a very reasonable volume with just my phone. The HD700 would win this battle, IMO.

Thanks for the input PETEREK! Say, aren't you the infamous cable-guy?

Well I hope I'm not the infamous one, but I do make cables from time to time. Haha

I've owned quite a few pair of Senns over the years and I must say the HD580 is one of my favs! It compares nicely with the HD600 and is much better than any model I have heard under the HD650.

  Holy cow, that's a gorgeous looking amp you have there mate! Is that a WA-2? Thanks for the recommendation also. The trouble is though, that like I said, I have the office for just myself for quite a while. I also believe the HE-300 will sound better straight out of an iPod. And I don't plan on buying a portable amp for 1.5 month.
But in the long term, the HE-300 or HD580 birds will have to flock back to the nest, i.e. home. I do have a nice amp there, the Violectric V90. Should be able to drive both adequately.
Would you say the HD580 scales up better? Even though I do not know if I will have upgraditis again and move up to the likes of a HD700 and sell the HD580 or HE-300.

 
 
Thanks myriad10k...

 
 
Yes, that's the WA2.  The HD580 scales up much better.  I have short cables for both and I use them straight out of the DX50 or X1 sometimes.  Connected to an amp, the HD580 goes up another level.  Everything is just fuller all around.  The HE-300 is a fun phone and the mids are really great (using velour pads), but I think the HD580s are on another level and have stood the test of time.
 
Cheers!

Thanks again HeatFan, helps a lot. Hope I can call myself a proud 580 owner anytime soon. Luck be a 580, tonight

Just got a pair of these puppies, quite a difference compared to the Beyer T70's. Lush and full sounding. Because of the comfort and sound signature almost forgot that I had them on. Chug away, Meshuggah!!
 
Thanks everyone for recommending this legend.

Glad you went with the 580. I was hoping you would. I'm glad you are liking them. They really are stellar aren't they!?!

Yes, they are! I even went as far as stretching my budget and bought a iFi Micro iCan to drive them. Which should be in this evening, will post impressions by tomorrow.

Haha, you sir are something else! Great musical taste

[dahoo]

Get sober before drive, guys.

The synergy between these cans and the iFi Micro iCan is just stuff of legends! I like the combination of the HD580, iCan and iPod much, much better than my home rig (Beyer T70, Violectric V90 and Schiit Modi)!

I've just acquired a Fiio Q1 DAC/amp and connected it with my iPad Air and then my HD580s. When these cans are driven they sound so good!
