Just being safe here, that's all

Yeah you can audition Sennheiser phones at Mediaplex but I don't know if they got stock the higher end models or not.

Hope I could 'request' to audition them... Haha...

does the HD650 need a DAC even i were to get a DarkVoice? and why is the need for the DAC actually? someone mind enlightening me on that? currently in dilemma whether to get a DAC for the HD650?

thanx guys...

U really need to know the whole fundamental of a source, amplifier, output thingie. Wonder why are u so affixed to a HD650 when u dont know wat a DAC is and ur asking weird question. My advice to you, take turn in life slower man, no need to rush. Look up ur information up first slowly, test them out then decide, unless ur filthy rich then why bother wasting money on low end cans as starters when u can own all the flagship models of all house sound.

Regarding ur question, a DAC supplies the analog signal (the audio) that u listen to. It converts digital data, such as read from CDs into the original analogue data that we listen too. the DarkVoice is an amplifier, it amplifies or boosts the strength of the signal to power up cans effectively (its more complicated than that). A cd player for example has a built in DAC, a soundcards does too. u really need to understand the concept.

thanx ijian for the frank comments...to be frank also err actually i dun own the HD650 myself...jus helping another friend of mine...i myself own only a HD595...and i dun disagree with what you commented but apparently this friend of mine well he is very enthusiasistic and eager to hear what his HD650 can do...i think it's his first high end cans...so ya first timer i guess it's like that...u jus tend to rush into things...

anyway will note down ur comments...cheers...

hooray! finally bought my hd600 today...cost me RM935 shipped well still cheaper than Msia (ETA end of october though...)

now...where is my balanced amp?

OMG u buying new cans again... Where do u get this cheap price?

hello ... can i ask about Sen's Headset here ??

coz i really dunno whether is worth it or not ...
below are my targeted model ... hope dear LYN members can help me .. thx

PC120 - PC140 -PC150 -PC 160 ...

thx ... alot ... and alos recommend the one below 200 if can ...

Ah finally gave in
The burn in progress should keep u occupied for a long time

I'm guessing some US site, it's around that price on eBay sellers too
It's cheap compared to what we'd have to pay for them over here, but not astoundingly cheap there

If you dont need a mic, go for something else like a Philips HP895
You could always buy a cheapo headset for the mic alone to use together with a better pair of headphones

Actually if you really going to do burn in, can you listen and feel the first impression first, then only compare it after the so-called "burn in" process?

It always amaze me why everyone advices burn in with long hours, I mean how hard do you think you need to normalize a pair of headphone drivers ?

Maybe my ears got problem, but I swear I only hear some slight differences between first second of wearing till like 6 hours later on my HD595. Thereafter nothing much can be improved or maybe my ears are really insensitive (nice for not losing my )

Some headphones doesn't need burn-in or they are not really benefit much in burn in, Some are really significant... Maybe 595 is one of them... Yeah dun waste your money in headphones ahaha... (but u got better headphone than mine )

i dun really enjoy the burn in process...im jst gonna play music and throw the phone into my cabinet

I bought it from an amazon seller for 229 + 6 shipping, then extra 19USD to redirect to me

(KilJim must be sving $$ now )

They have HD650s in stock. The models that they don't have in stock, you can have ordered in.

hi wallabies, are you looking for a headphone ?? what have got in mind, sorry i cant provide details in singapore. i hope i can find something or someone has post in the AKG thread.

btw, how much are u looking at if u are going to buy one ?

have you got in mind buying a headphone amp as well ?

hi reno, i have experienve difference in the amount that i have burn in my 601 here, i dont know about senns but the akg's are worth burning in, it is much sweeter now compare to day one listening to the same song on the same output.

unless of course my ears are now deaf

No way !
Well not until i get the Beyers first...see how things go



For those who dont hear much of a difference, just dont bother about the process
I usually leave em on for 20+ hours then listen to them normally
Too lazy to take it slow
