    Hey everyone. So I've decided to get myself a pair of open headphones for home listening and bought a pair of HD 650, and now I'm trying to decide if there's a better alternative. The mids in these are great, but I'm not sure I like the increased lower mids presence and the laid-back highs. Are...

    Old head, new thread!

    Hey guys! Stalked these forums a long time ago, and even made some purchases based upon it. Long story short, this is my first post here. Back in either 2012 or 2013 my HD598’s were stolen as well as a homemade headphone amplifier (bit of a vacuum tube nerd.) I find myself spending more and...
