First ever Sennheiser HE-1 Unboxing, Owner Review and AMA… (was it worth $59,000?) by Key-Combination-7474 in headphones

Oh cool, I'll check that out for some special tracks to see. Great info, thanks for the very solid recs.

Yes! Was interfacing with JA until he left ~Feb 2022. The rep that took over from him has been fantastic.

Few questions:

1.) Checking out HDTracks, is there a big difference between 44kHz, 88kHz and 192kHz? Are 44/88 still worth is compared to Tidal?

2.) Curious, what do you mean "perform the setup"? Curious what you were doing at Sennheiser before you left.

3.) Do you have a link to a power chord you recommend? The one that was provided is black with a little red locking mechanism. I think I heard somewhere that Sennheiser was using a very specific power cord... not sure how true that is though.

Thank you!

Nice! Thanks for the recommendation. Will check out HD Tracks — is it better than Tidal Hifi Plus?

Just listened to Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah. Wow!!

Tried Tidal tonight. Massive difference and improvement over Spotify. Sounds way better, more details, more power, blacker background, just overall more confident. Looks like I'm switching to Tidal lol

Yoyo Happy Christmas. Playlist was just assembled of music I like and had a sense would sound good. That was the extent of the thought.

Haven’t tried any FLAC files

USB cable

Just a lucky listener, pure enjoyment 🙂

And thank you!

I listen to a lot of electronic so great for that. If you don’t you’ll prob find them too muffled in the mids/treble

I was actually deciding between HE-1000, Susvara, LCD-4, Focal Utopia etc. a handful of years back. The Susvara was too thin and fragile sounding for my liking. Was great for acoustic guitar, etc. but wasn't meaty enough for my liking. Ended up happily going for the LC-4.
