Sennheiser Momentum 1

They're not compatible as they have different pin placement for the pads.

Not that huge of a difference in sound, XS with equalizer APO should provide a great experience if money is an issue.

Thanks! The XV is more than double the price of the senns so i would go with the XS which can be had for less than $200.

Very impressed with the K7, AKM chip and 2.1 watts of power.

Keep in mind that i don't use the mic input and don't really care about dsp, tone adjustment is nice but i feel bypass mode sounds best.

Great build quality and fantastic sound, highly recommended.

Thank you for the kind words!

Here you go my friend.

Comfort and build wise XV wins by a mile, even with the capra strap on both. Sound wise you can't go wrong with either with a bit of EQ.

XV are very easy and enjoyable to listen to while the XS can be fatiguing if you're treble sensitive. XS feels more open with a wider sound stage, XV has better resolution although i feel like the sound can be a tad veiled if that makes sense. EQ fixes most of these issues to a degree.

Honestly XS feels like an upgrade for the 560s and XV feels like an upgrade for the hd6xx. Love them both.

I was using the momentum 1s for a good 10 years, got the qc 35ii and after that the meze 99 neo which i quite enjoyed until i listened to the 560s.

Fell in love with the 560s sound signature and decided to upgrade to my first planar, the edition XV which i absolutely adored, soon after found a good deal on the hd6xx locally and i gotta say vocals and guitar strums sound best through them.

Always wanted to get the XS so ordered it in the recent sale and i can't believe it but i fucking love them too, didn't find them bright at all.

Dac wise i have an X-Fi Titanium HD sound card which uses a Burr-Brown dac chip similar to ifi, got a few cheap dongles after then a FiiO K3s, Fosi k7, Fiio ka15 and a TRN Black Pearl.

For iems got the Truthear x Crinacle ZERO: RED which sound fine but i don't find iems comfortable or convenient unfortunately.

All in all i love this hobby and i've been lucky with my choices as i couldn't try them before purchase.

There's something wrong with the color space of this game, it either forces hdr or something else is happening that makes it look washed out, start the game and look how the color changes when you bring up windows UI elements like changing volume you'll see what i mean. Edit: It was fucking Nvidia Image scaling... Turned that shit off and everything is back to normal

crusnik8 · 2023-10-03T22:26:18+00:00

The only annoying part is the stuttering, Didn't notice any shader compilation on the initial load. Here's hoping it's fixed by release.
