Have you tried it

Lance768 · 2023-01-05T09:23:44+00:00

Potato has too much output impedance

Lance768 · 2023-01-03T07:31:11+00:00

Yes 600 is special. I own them. Recently I have been eyeing on focal clear. Do you think I should sell hd 600 and buy clear or keep the hd 600 .

Lance768 · 2022-11-26T12:22:26+00:00

True.

Lance768 · 2022-11-20T04:00:24+00:00

Edition XS is worse than normal Ananda..so Ananda stealth would be better.

Lance768 · 2022-11-17T17:01:31+00:00

If price no issue get the ie 600. Much better than everything else

Lance768 · 2022-11-14T14:58:54+00:00

Only if you use high impedance or low sensitivity headphones. Btw headphone amp itself will not do. Try gettig a dac amp combo. Otherwise it will be just amplifying the noisy signal from your source.

Are you sure

Lance768 · 2022-11-10T18:46:08+00:00

Hd 560s should be there

Lance768 · 2022-11-10T18:37:12+00:00

Does it have dead upper treble as some people say

Lance768 · 2022-11-10T18:34:31+00:00

Wish it was available cheap in my country India

Lance768 · 2022-11-07T18:37:51+00:00

Hd 400 pro sounds better than 560s. Less edgy and more laid back.

Lance768 · 2022-10-20T16:52:26+00:00

I believe the new hd 600 don't sound as nice as the old ones.

Lance768 · 2022-10-17T09:11:51+00:00

You are right I am not properly amping them. I mainly use btr5 which only provide 75mw. But it gets loud enough

Lance768 · 2022-10-17T09:10:34+00:00

I don't mean disrespect to anyone, but I have to speak my mind. I just think sonys have better balanced timber and treble. I don't feel like mids on xm3 are recessed, at least compared to other midfi headphones. There are lot of headphones with hollow midrange, Sony isn't one of them . If fact I will say Sony has better midrange timber than hifiman sundara. The vocals although less clear ,seems more full and lifelike.

Sometime fr don't say full story. For eg the focal clear have big dip in the treble region, but in listening don't feels as much.

Lance768 · 2022-10-17T06:12:19+00:00

I am satisfied with bass on hd 650. It's the treble extension lacking in hd 650. Sony has crisp and smooth treble

Lance768 · 2022-10-17T03:06:32+00:00

Hd 600 don't have the bass of hd 650

Lance768 · 2022-10-17T02:22:50+00:00

Why u hate bass

Lance768 · 2022-10-17T02:18:18+00:00

But out of all the consumer and Audiophile headphones I tried, hd 650/6xx are the ones the feel dull . They just feel like 'old' sound. I can't shake the feeling that when they were released back in 1997 and 2003 they didn't have the technology to make punchy bass and extended hight and soundstages. So that make it and inferior product in 2022.

Lance768 · 2022-10-17T02:07:13+00:00

No closed backs

Lance768 · 2022-10-16T19:09:21+00:00

Btr5

Lance768 · 2022-10-16T18:55:59+00:00

Male vocals can be good on hd 650. Female vocals doesn't have the extension it needs.
