New Head-Fier
Hello everyone!
I have been enjoying my beloved HD600 for a while now, and they are almost perfect to me, but i itch for more technicalities, a planar HD600 if that can be achieved.
I have sort of tried some of the cans mentioned, i had owned the OG HD800, i loved the technicalities, the pinpoint imaging of it but the lack of bass sucked the pleasure/fun of music and messing around with EQ kind of killed the soundstage and the tuning balance.
I was lucky to meet some one near me that had both Arya V3 and the original Aeon Flow Closed from 2018, they ware both powered by Dx3 Pro+, the first thing i noticed on Aryas was the overpowering treble, everything sounded sharp and thin, I'm not super sensitive to treble but in that moment it made HD800 sound smooth as butter. As for OG Aeons they sounded very compressed/congested with no punch, limp. I'm not sure if both of them ware underpowered or they just don't suit me but i left unimpressed.
I was considering getting either Arya V3 because everyone is recommending them, maybe i should give them a 2nd chance to impress me.
I keep hearing that Focal Clears are the direct upgrade to hd600, but i am very skeptical of the quality of the pads that degrade very fast, flimsy headband and clipping drivers keep me away from Focal.
LCD-X seems like a good punchy planar that can be EQd to sound however you want but the weight and comfort seem to be a deal breaker for long listening sessions.
MM500 seems like a planar hd650, but there is so little buzz around it and the existing reviews seem to be either mixed or unimpressed, so its a wild guess.
I am considering Aeon Noires as well because i have read that the limpness of the original aeons is fixed with noires, and they seem to be Harman tuned which is close enough to hd600s plus isolation since they are closed back.
As for HD800s it seems like the next step up from 600s if i want to stick with Sennheiser tasty mids, but i am unsure if i can get used to the lack of bass that many have said that they lack.
In conclusion i wanted to ask for your experiences with the headphones mentioned above and if the planar HD600 can be achieved by any of them and what would you recommend to me or do in my shoes.
My chain is FLACs, MP3s -> D10 Balanced -> Schiit Magnius, i listen to mainly Metal, Folk, EDM, Orchestral, Ambient, OSTs.
Thank you all in advance!
