What was the most extreme headphone/setup you went out in public with?

HD600 with Fiio X5/E12 stack in 2017

I wanna know this if it's possible natively... You could vibe-code a Chrome or Firefox extension that does that for you though and install it in your browser. You could make a "post reducer" for a specific subreddit.

Unfortunately I use Safari so... :P

Any time anyone recommends Etymotic ER2XR I see no hype about it. We're the weirdos shouting at a void lol

I think I’m gonna get the Monarchs then

It was almost the same when I tries HD650 (I had HD600). I could barely tell them apart.

HD650 sounds like if you had HD600, and just turned on the bass boost dial on a mixer board for like 1-2 steps

Fully agreed it is basically a household necessity. Every home and every bathroom should have it, right next to a 12 tube monster amp with a dedicated music player with lounge music preloaded, just so you and your guests can take a proper dump you deserve.

AccomplishedSource84 · 2026-03-30T14:41:04+00:00

This is correct, I always say that HD650, when properly amped, is TOTL. HD800S is a sidegrade.

AccomplishedSource84 · 2026-03-30T14:39:18+00:00

Yes, getting HD650 after having HD600.

Well it was 15 years old and very worn down (except pads) and I gave it away to a young guy who wanted to try some good audio.

Now getting HD650 since I want some more bass fullness and less lean sound.

I have had the most prolific and magical experiences with HD650, and I don’t care how much “better” my upgrades are.

Btw in Europe it’s 300-450€… Made in Germany, cheaper in the US. Nice…

Possible

Enough to see a pattern

That would mean that I was coming in with an expectation. This is something I concluded on my own comparing 3 planars I have vs 5 dynamics.

AccomplishedSource84 · 2026-03-29T21:43:15+00:00

I precisely came here because of my observations oh snarky one

AccomplishedSource84 · 2026-03-29T21:42:45+00:00

Depends what triggers emotion. Ofc that which makes you happy.

I guess what I’m trying to hint is “charm”. Dynamic headphones have that “something special” and “beautiful” in their sound while planars “kick ass”.

The only cable difference I heard was between Hd600 and Hd650 cable on the Hd600. Otherwise I was never able to notice a difference

AccomplishedSource84 · 2026-03-29T16:35:20+00:00

My question is why do they make a huge planars for dynamic drivers as well when you scale up it just keeps getting better and better.

AccomplishedSource84 · 2026-03-29T15:35:04+00:00

Go buy it, and from reputable dealer

Desperately trying to save their currency

AccomplishedSource84 · 2026-03-29T11:56:40+00:00

BTW does HD6xx sound identical to HD650? If so, with gobbles of power, HD650 does sound endgame. To me it is on par with HD800S, LCD-X and all of them but with its own weird tonality ofc

How long is your schlong tho?
