i wish i can own 1 senheiser hd600/650 or ATH W5000 in future

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?

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  )

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 ?

701 u can try it out in asia sound, good news is they have moved to same floor as mbd at city square. Simon at mbd definitely let u listen as u wish.(i always hang around there).

Do try out the gs1k too , my fren bought senn mx500 in mediaplex and they let us audition b4 buy, so as long as they got stock, i think u will have chance to listen. Beware  that mediaplex only have consumer level setup.Likely u may not hear the best perfomance of 650 there.

as for the senn's i was in klcc media plex today hoping to get a glimpse and also a little listening audition in there, out of luck as they dont have stock, they only got hd 555 and it was not as good as my 601, i think the philips 805 also sound much more pleasant, maybe im wrong, but u dont get class one service, cause ppl there will that u are just a walk past by, kacau their time, they wont let me try on their heaphone amp that cost rm 3500 but told me i could try on the nakamichi lifestyle system and they also played sucky music which was not pleasant to listen at all, very disappointed,   

well the good side is that the si tau po, elaine, i think, has taken my business card and will contact me as soon as the stocks arrive, i mean the 650. they only got the dj heaphones and also studio and also the RF wireless headphones, and the noise cancellation senn's are the best selling headphones in mediaplex, i was being told that, though i was not interested.

funny ah, when i step into the shop, no one care to entertain and those ppl in the shop only entertain you as long as u are not malaysian, i mean foreginers.
very bad impression.

the other thing i saw was mediaplex also sells AKG headphones at very high prices also, but they dont carry the reference series, only studio monitor and lower range AKG's are available. prices too are more expensive compare to ampang park.

i also went over to try on bose so call tripod headphones and also quiet comfort, active noise cancellation headphones. the tripod will cost you rm 590, which the built is shitty and wires are like the rm 20 ear phones.
sound, i think the other brands are better,
as for  the quiet comfort, it only works when u turn the headphone on, means that the headphone works actively, could nt function in passive mode, this is a set back,
the good thing, it cancels noise very actively, ppl talking next to u you can not listen to them at all,
i did a test on the quiet comfort, if u dont turn on, you will feel like wearing a normal headphone. noise from surrounding, but when u turn on , the noise disappears, as the noise dissapears , you will feel a pressure from the headphone, this is the inverse wave generated from the active noise cancellation, the feeling is like you are underwater, there is some pressure which i dont feel very comfortable at all,

the good side, a lot of accessories given, for aeroplanes, connect to the amps and a whole lot more, i think the aeroplane connector is worth while, but i think you can self make one, and it does come in a nice cover, set back is price, RM 1450 ,
i would say ok if you travel on the plane a lot, but noise cancellation at home, unless u are staying next to a high way, but i personally feel it is not good for the ear.

didnt come back with a brand new cans, guess i will stick with the 601 for a while, maybe later i will go try the 650 and see whats the difference.

why get the 650? the 600's better

He wrote quite a bit in his last thread, search for it
What are u doing with a HD600/650 without an amp in the first place? 

u still impressed with it although it doesnt have as much details compared to sr60? and yet u said u dun like it very much in the next sentence?
   

i dun know about the akg-55 but 1 thing for sure, the staf there need a serious lesson about their attitude and knowledge.. so, dun care about the staf there, they jz trying to be the top sales there by selling expensive stuff.. their comment doesn come in the matter of consideration..

I think got one, need more $$$. maybe we can ask our headphones specialist here.
