I believe most people don't care about their senses deteriorating, as they don't plan to use them extensively. Which leads them to not automatically interpret everything what these senses deliver. I don't like loud or irritating sounds, but over time I started to realize it's me trying to retain...

Yes, the Monitor 5 is EUR 999 and quite an investment. May I ask why you like it? I had looked into the Meze 99 thread and had the impression there could be coming a new version with more comfortable ear cups, hesitated, then saw Sennheiser Urbanite exists - on Tyll Hertsens Wall of fame...

DALI Oberon 3, they have a nice character in the highs that is also even, and the casing is bright wood and the front cover fabric is a bit like a grey jeans, behind that you see a bit of white plastic just like the K701 has, triggers a lot of joy for me. But not sure if sound without bi-amped...

The NewZealand Story (And James Pond, Creatures, Gianna Sisters, Sonic, etc)

Once I tried FL Studio and it changed the power settings from "Balanced" to "High Performance". That makes my computer produce lots of noise of this kind. Just wanted to add this because you wrote "... started buzzing".

Bought Mackie MC-250. I was looking for deep earcups and isolation. I'm not sure if I should write this in a Mackie MC-250 thread or here, so I want it to write here and with saying that I can't compare them side by side and have high expectations. I bought them and I'm a bit disappointed. The...

Hi, sorry, I wanted to think about my decision making before answering to you, but now I think it's better to say thanks, danke, for your kind reply. My decision making did go more complex, stormy weather here, thinking about closed back. And there's a few contrary goals, many variables. I want...

Can give a little input. I had the Yamaha HS8 in white. They have had very good, balanced sound. If anything, the bass tended to stick to the lower dome, like it was "paper" that creates the kick instead of the kick itself. But it was just a very minor phenomenon. I spent time listening to...

Sorry, I was thinking you had not yet bought and listened to the K612. I had the K701 and K702 at some time, and I was surprised how different (brighter) the K612 is and had to send it back. And I believe there might be some sound change dependening on how it sits on the head? Anyway, my K612...

A few days ago I tried the K612 on a mobile device and on an audio interface. It was the brightest headphone I have ever heard. I don't believe that it get's less bright without EQ, no matter what the amp is. It was not the "underpowered" bright due to weak bass, I believe. It's meant to be EQ'd...

Thanks a lot for the much information about my question! It looks to me like cymbals occupy a broad band in the spectrum, and the 660S has overall less energy in that region because it has a dip from 2k to 5k, and it should be that the 660S make less listening fatigue with a e.g. 70s disco...

I didn't know you can remove the grill, have to look into this. Admittedly I have also never replaced the pads, I fall into believing that I was too bored by the sound signature after a year or two, but it could be the drivers just got too near to the ears and also some bassy sound leaked at the...

Oh, I see, thanks a lot. I'll focus on the Sound and on having the "clunky" adapter, which isn't actually bad, I just looked for something to stop me from ordering the 660S.

I have only started to read this thread. May I ask if anyone knows whether you can plug the Sennheiser 660S' 4-pin 3,5 jack into all notebooks (a Thinkpad)? I had a cable like that with the Momentum and it worked with a cheap notebook but did not work work with with a desktop DAC. It made weird...

Hi, my name is Markus. My buys are a bit too chaotic. Sorry, I have to state it like this. I have been searching the net for a lot of stuff for the last few years to find out I want the HD 650. I had them a few years after they came out, they are very hard to drive, failed totally on some DAC...
