In that case, might as well aim for the HD800S used. From what I understand, it's not just the damping material, but also some engineering that went into taming the 6Khz peak. Also, there's another HD800 mod popular recently, Tyll was talking about it here

Yummy, but as always, HD800/S is half of a complete system. Jude made a review of the Woo WA8 which he said pairs very nicely with the Senn. It also costs as much as the Senns too. Grumble.

There's better amps to use with the HD800/S, doubt you'll be taking it outside much anyway. But yes, synergy is the name of the game. If you're committed, think it over and go for it rclxms.gif

The sound from this setup (HDVD800 + HD800) is more like personal preference, to me the sound is more suitable to orchestra and classical.

Headphones also need good and suitable pairing especially flagship headphones, then it will shine cool.gif

Anax mod is passe. Super Dupont Resonator mod is the in thing. brows.gif

Tyll concluded that he preferred the Super Dupont Resonator HD800 with EQ.

But if one is not interested to mod and not use EQ, HD 800 S is the better choice.

Why not the HDVD800? Apparently, it's one of the better solid state DAC/Amp to pair with the HD800 (and apparently so with the HD800 S)... Short of the Liquid Gold. bangwall.gif

Why not the HDVD800? Apparently, it's one of the better solid state DAC/Amp to pair with the HD800 (and apparently so with the HD800 S)... Short of the Liquid Gold.  bangwall.gif

The main reason I never considered it is because it doesn't play well with planars, by several accounts. If you're only running the 800/800S with it, no worries. But as I wanted to use several different types of headphones from various makers, didn't think it was worth it.

Tyll concluded that he preferred the Super Dupont Resonator HD800 with EQ.

But if one is not interested to mod and not use EQ, HD 800 S is the better choice.
Why not all the way to HD800 / HD800 S?  wub.gif

Yes, I've always seen HD800 pairing with tubes. I do agree if just running the HD800 / HD800 S, then the HDVD800 is worth but if you have other cans, then something else is required... Like the Liquid Gold. blush.gif

I'm a very huge fan of Schiit Audio, because their products have a great performance/price ratio. I started from their entry level, moved up to the Lyr 2 tube/SS hybrid, and am now at the Mjolnir 2 hybrid. You should give them a try also, much better value than CA or Sennheiser, and pretty much almost anyone else out there. If you're really committed to going to TOTL gear, that's a different story la, but for mid-tier gear, I don't think anyone comes close.

Alternatively, there's also Decware (US-made) and Feliks Audio (Polish) for tube-only amps that are highly-rated (know several contacts that love theirs). I generally steer clear from the China-made stuff because I don't trust their power components.

PS. I bought direct from Schiit Audio and had it shipped back, made sure to confirm there's no issue with warranty first as well. If you're interested in either of the others, you should also contact them first.

rclxms.gif Indeed I've read that combo sounds lovely. Prefer SS systems though. But then again if I audition it too much, I might end up liking it. bangwall.gif

Thanks for the tip. Yup, the Mjolnir comes highly recommended but I guess I've yet to be at the level and patience to mess around with tubes even though the Mjolnir is a hybrid. Hence my preference for SS. So that leaves me with Ragnorak ! laugh.gif

Anyway, if I were to get anything, it'll be a desktop DAC first. At first I had my eyes on the Bifrost or Gungnir Multibit DAC but people are claiming that the Mojo is on the same level as the Gungnir Multibit. I think for amp, my LC is sufficient for now. cool.gif

There's also the first-gen Mjolnir, but you'll have to wait for one to show up used tongue.gif

Edit: While I was pondering the Ragnarok, I did contact Schiit to ask if they modify the voltage (115V to 230V) on their products. Apparently they do, but you'll have to purchase your amp first, and then send it in to them, they charge up to $100 for the service, depending on model. In case you're thinking of getting a used unit from the States.

Good day guys! I'm new to the world of audiophile. I just got myself an HD598 recently with a very good price. I'm using the Audioengine D1 to drive these headphones. However, I do feel like its kind of lacking something in the treble. Will these improve over time? Is there any good budget amps recommended at the price around RM500-1000?

Thanks in advance!

Mungkin boleh bawa HD598 kesayangan anda ke kedai-kedai audio berdekatan thumbsup.gif

Anyway, as far as I remembered, HD598 is not a particularly bright headphone to begin with. The lack of treble? Are you hearing the same song but differently on different setup?

I'd say be careful when choosing the IE800 from non-official retailers as the piracy version of the IE800 is rampant.

Some of the kedai audio in amcorp mall sells them but by the unit and expensive.

Buy at ebay by the lot cheaper and can pasang on everything from amp to Astro...hehhe.

Ebay tdk ferrite ring

But make sure get the right size for your mains cable.

Despite being in production for more than a decade, Sennheiser HD650 still holds its ground as one of the best bang for bucks headphones out there. musical n non fatiguing without that ear piercing trebles which r becoming more prominent in high end headphones these days.

also, 650 scales very well with amplification, the better the amp, the better it sounds. currently running it through a clone violectric v200/v800 stack. sounds way better than pairing it with o2/odac (my previous setup).

3rd time owning a hd650. definitely a keeper. i always had buyer's remorse/regret whenever i sold my previous hd650's for higher end headphones like beyer t1 n senn hd800.

Hi all, I had my HD598 for more than a year now. I really enjoy it so far, but I realize a weakness in the headphone, the driver feels slow when listening to fast songs.

Do you think upgrading to HD600/HD650 will improve the fast song problem? I listen to a variety of genres but mainly mainstream pop songs nowadays. I currently have a Centrance DACport LX, I assume I will need to get an amp if I upgrade to HD600/HD650? What do you guys think?

Anyone knows where can I get shorter replacement cable for HD650. I'm not looking for high end audiophile grade ones.

The stock cable is too long for me so it's troublesome to pack in the bag as I'm always moving around.

i still remember trying at canjam, the dial effect to the bass isnt very significant if 1 notch, but min to max you can feel the bass slightly heavier volume, but still under control, better than COP.

I'm sure Raggy has its merits, but I have two dudes calling the Raggy "just a lot of power". Hey, isn't that a perfect straight wire with gain? Lol.

Portable audio and IEMs I can play all day, but a desktop system I (hopefully) buy one set and get it right. Taurus looks and sounds good, and SE and balanced has two distinct signatures so that appeals to the Cina in me. Hope to test the Yggy/Rag stack one day, amongst all the top, top stuff Tyll tried out in Big Sound 2015.

Despite being in production for more than a decade, Sennheiser HD650 still holds its ground as one of the best bang for bucks headphones out there. musical n non fatiguing without that ear piercing trebles which r becoming more prominent in high end headphones these days.

also, 650 scales very well with amplification, the better the amp, the better it sounds. currently running it through a clone violectric v200/v800 stack. sounds way better than pairing it with o2/odac (my previous setup). 

3rd time owning a hd650. definitely a keeper. i always had buyer's remorse/regret whenever i sold my previous hd650's for higher end headphones like beyer t1 n senn hd800.

Ive never owned hd600 before, but most of the reviews r stating the difference is minimal, with hd650 being a touch more warm sounding, just like hd800s is to the original hd800

Some features similar with the Zik, but I think Sennheiser was aiming more at the QC35 audience lol

Build quality is nice, typical Sennheiser solid plastic with internal metal band strip. The touch surface feels a bit rubbery, but is very sensitive. Like other reviews at times quite easy to accidentally touch a function. A bit worried how it'll hold up if it gets scratched lol
The earpads are very soft/mushy. Compared to Momentum which is more firm and plush. But the ear cups isn't that big, I have average ear size but I don't find much room for my ears to move. I think it's slightly bigger than the Momentum V1.

Bluetooth range is very good. My phone was downstairs and I get solid connection upstairs through ceiling and walls if I don't move. If I move it can get a bit choppy though.

Sound quality is great for a Bluetooth NC type. Bass isn't bloated and so far no distortion, and highs gives a bit of sparkle and not sibilant. Mids are warm and clear, not the analytical clean type. Overall quite balanced sound.
Spatial imaging and soundstage is not bad as well.

I got this mainly for plane usage, sometimes I just want less noise without listening to music. But the ability to on/off NC in Bluetooth mode is a real + for me.

I see, I've tried both yesterday & I kinda like the vocal clarity on the HD600 a bit more, though I'm worried that it might be fatiguing..

The HD series are pretty amp dependant actually. Certain amps like La Figaro is able to bring out the sweet vocal out from Hd600. But it's never sibilant for HD600. It doesn't have that spike like his bro Hd800 do. So it won't be fatiguing after long hours of listening. But I only compared it in certain amps in Starpicker. Still ended up with Hd650 in the end for a better all rounder and a more body. But Starpicker have a lots of amps that pairs really well with sennheiser HD6xx series. I love the pairing of La Figaro and Audio GD. But now looking to try out little dot mkiv.

I just tried it with the Chord Mojo because at home I have the Grace M9XX which is very similar to the Mojo. I didn't bring it here so I just used the Mojo. I can't really tell that much of a difference between the HD600/650 though. Probably because of my noob ears. So that's why I don't know if I can justify the RM700-ish price difference. Decisions decisions.

Oh. That's a decent source. But they goes well with tubes also. It's hard to justify the Rm700 difference. As for me, both of these headphones are on the same league. For Hd650, it excels in the bass department when compared to Hd600. Hd600 have a more forward mids compared to Hd650. It's back to preference. Or u can invest in a Hd600 and the Rm700+few hundreds more bucks for a tube amp to go with it. biggrin.gif

I already have an Aune T1se but not too sure if it'll sound well with the HD6X0.. I'll have to try it out first.. After trying the demo units at Starspicker, I find that the songs I tried made the HD600 sound better.. The songs were vocal-focused.. I listen mostly to mainstream though.. But after a while the clamp pressure was bothering me a bit.. I love vocal clarity, but find the HD650 very very close to the sound of the HD600..

What a coincidence. I am using Aune T1 too for my Hd650. Hvnt been able to fund an upgrade of amp lol. Both the headphones are at the same league as I mentioned. But upgrade cable does a great magic on my HD650 too. The Symphonic Cable. You should really try it. And also, a headphone calibration program called Sonarworks, some say it is just gimmicks, coz it uses eq to make my HD650 sounds more balanced. It's actually a plug in for media player. But, the engineer behind sonarworks had done alot of research and calibration to attain that EQ. It cost $99. But for me it's worth for the upgrade. You can also have a look at it.

If you're willing to mod the HD650 with the quarter mod & foam removal, it'll help in improving the upper mid range. Mod

In regards to the clamping pressure, you can hang on say a stack books to lessen the pressure eventually if you dont want the immediate clamping force.

I see. I will try it with both my Aune T1se & Grace M9XX and see how it fares. Hopefully it'll be good.

How much is the Symphonic cable? Isn't it out of production already? I will definitely look into the software. Much thanks again!

I don't think I'll mod it at all actually, I'll just use it as it is. For the clamping pressure I've bought a wide headphone stand that would stretch the headphone out a bit so maybe that'll help smile.gif


Btw guys I went and purchased the HD600 instead of the HD650. It's because I'm buying a headphone purely for vocal clarity, and I think the HD600 clearly beats the HD650 when it comes to vocal (for me that is). Maybe when I sell my AKG K7XX in the future, I'll upgrade that to the HD650 because from what I've heard it's very similiar sound profiles. Appreciate the help you gave guys wink.gif

T1SE is very good for the DAC part. Amp wise is strong enough to provide enough volume for HD650, but if want to release more potential of it, pair the T1SE with a B1 or X7 amp will be much better.

people often spend more on the amp to power the hd800 for the reason on desiring their own personal sound signature and hd800 are pretty much the only headphone that gets influenced by an amp that powers it the most.

you can consider schiit, or woo audio as there's quite good reviews from them. personally, i'm just not fond of the hd800 and how costly it can get to get an ideal overall system. not that i can afford a good hd800 system anyways.

good luck smile.gif

If you bought it on Amazon, you don't need worry about the tax because it's settled on check-out by Amazon on your behalf.

BTW, Amazon UK offers much cheaper shipping rate and cheaper price after currency conversion.

The import duty and gst you had to pay is around RM70. Based on 15% import duty and 6% gst. It's the hassle going to KLIA. But can request the POS can handle the custom tax on your behalf though.

Depends what you are looking for? NC or SQ? I wanted a good balance of both so I went for PXC-550.
You can also add in Sony's MDR-1000X to your list.

Not sure if the MDR-1000X already available in market or not. I guess it was just launched in IFA this year.
Both momentum and qc35 can't really switched off its NC when on wireless.

My priority is wireless.
tried both but more prone to momentum right now. But I must say the qc35 NC is damn good.
where did you get your PXC-550 from? It's quite new too if I'm not wrong.

Not sure if the MDR-1000X already available in market or not. I guess it was just launched in IFA this year.

Got it from Amazon. The NC for PCX-550 is much better than the Momentum but still just below the QC35.
Sound wise PXC-550 is a better all rounder, as in I got it specifically for both music and movies since I'll be using it on flights. And being able to turn off the NC in Bluetooth mode is a big plus.
One big drawback I noticed so far is i can't sleep tilted with the headphone cups putting pressure on the pillow as it affects the NC. That means sleeping facing straight or heads down which is very annoying.
Not sure if the QC35 has the same problem, interested to find out.

I think you can test the MDR-1000X in Sony Centres in KLCC/Curve as they are having a showcase event. You can check the other thread for the dates.

The 009 is my home setup, won't be leaving with me when I travel for work/fun. The transportable setup is Sony ZX2 -> Chord Hugo -> ZMF Omni/ HD 800S/ TH 900/ LCD X (rotation based on my mood).

Added these in the mix since I felt the sound signature would complement those I already had, and I was right smile.gif

At home, it's still Stax uber alles wink.gif

My setup is HD800S powered by DAC/Amp Schiit Jotunheim. Source: Spotify premium, PC.

Pro: It's good for music, movie, and gaming. Treble and mid are the strong points of HD800S. It's good and detail. Bass is quite good for an open headphones, it has the punchy feel. Soundstage is definitley one of the best. Crank up the volume and you can totally immerse in the music.

Con: Price tag. You can buy a pair of good bookshelf speakers and dac/amplifier with changes left.

That would depend very much on what your definition of good is. But as for the headphones themselves, they're worthy of their flagship status.

with so many revisions of HD600 and HD650, the reviews you read in the internet is no longer valid.

Both are crap out of that amp anyhow so might as well go for the HD650 and scale up on the amp later.

It's been a while since I got a Senns headphone and my name is still on first post laugh.gif I just got quite old Sennheiser HD 555 in very good condition for very cheap price. Immediately after I got it I know it sounds rather wrong and remove the foam to make it effectively HD 595. With that pesky foam gone it really sounds wonderful especially the lower frequency. Quite surprise the headphone is very comfortable and very good wear with glasses.

They are not as good as new ones but there is something about old headphones, I still hunting for classics like AKG K501 but I didn't see them anymore.

Usually me too, but in this case I'll stick with what I already have from Sennheiser tongue.gif

On another note, the more cynical part of me wonders if this is just a prelude to the HD650 being discontinued/replaced. Hmm...

In my case I seldom listen to headphones at home, so it's really a waste of money getting one. I can forsee if I get the HD6XX, 95% it'll be left unused in my cupboard lol
But... i'm a deal sucker, and who knows in the far future I might use them more... blush.gif

Could be, since they already released newer versions for the HD5XX series. Maybe within a couple of years there will be a refresh.
But for $200, the older HD650 will still retain it's value. Pity those who only recently bought the 650 for retail price, their resell value would take a massive beating..

Where is a good place to buy the Sennheiser Momentum in-ear at good prices?

The standard price is around RM500+. There must be places that sells cheaper. I am a bit hesitant to buy from unknown Lelong seller as there might be fake Sennheiser products. Prefer to buy from reputable seller or shops. Any recommendations would be great.

So finally you received yours. Congrats.

That's not so bad. RM51 is calculated based on overall RM8xx cost?

So finally you received yours. Congrats.

What amp do you use for the HD6xx?

Yeap Bro, they say have duty fee, but when they enter it into system no duty, so i only pay for the GST. Hehe

I only have Fostex HP-A4, SMSL sAp-VI and SMSL SAP-8

I already ordered a A16, for my HD800 and can use with my HD6xx too.

If I remember correctly, from online reviews/product description, HDXXX cable is shorter than stock HD650 right?

Btw, mine is still here, doesn't move at all. Latest is 22 Dec.

There is a student discount going on in Sennheiser UK, 25% off everything. So I'm guessing that's probably it?

PS. I'm planning to get the HD800S with that discount. It's about 6k MYR after conversion

I assume your parcel did not get stopped by the customs?



Any further updates on the cable replacement? Do we have to request for it from Massdrop or will it be sent automatically to everyone who purchased?

The 6 ft. version will take longer as we have to produce them first. I have no confirmation from our cable supplier yet, but I guess it will February or March until we have it.
I am very sorry and I apologize for this.

So lucky, I paid RM108.xx (gst + agent fees).
Been wondering about this too.

Nothing to wonder, as has been stated repeatedly , there is no consistency in the implementation of the duties/tax. We know what the rates are SUPPOSED to be, but we can't predict what they will actually end up being.

Same exact product, same manufacturer, same packaging and description, similar ship date, varying results. That tells you all you need to know

Oh, I was wondering about the cable replacement, which has been clarified by Lego Warfare.

Not about the tax.

"Good news everyone!
Axel and Sennheiser have agreed to send out an additional 6 foot cable to everyone in the drop.
No returns, replacements, or forms.
Sennheiser is still working to finalize the production schedule with the cable supplier and we will update everyone once we have an estimated date. Once the date is finalized we will also send out an email to confirm everyone’s shipping address.
In the meantime you don’t have to do anything except make sure you’re getting email alerts.
Cheers"

ZY Balanced cable for HD650.

USD69.99 with free shipping via ShenzenAudio website.
or
USD54.99 plus USD5 shipping via Massdrop website.

Could get around RM45 cheaper via ShenzenAudio but I have no experience on buying via ShenzenAudio so I'm not so sure.
Bought few items via Massdrop, so far okay.

Anyone ordered from ShenzenAudio before? Any feedback? Thanks

Finally got to test out HD800 with the AudioGD Singularity 11. The headphone segment is really good even with single ended headphone.

Still running in the DAC...a bit bright and rough but the detail of this unit is insane.

I heard the 1More Triple Driver Over Ear and I didn't like it. The mids and lows are both mixed up and very messy as opposed to the much better controlled less bassy ATH-MSR7. May not be relevant to your hunt but who knows. For less money with bluetooth you can check out the 1More iBFree earphones, sounds pretty good to my ears despite the pretty high noise floor.

Good setup! I thought the HD800 is a stellar match with ECP amp (mine is DSHA-0). The treble is magical (Pronounced but not harsh at all), The detail is not lacking and lot cleaner, way better separation, tighter bass and the soundstage is HUGE! But yeah I mod the HD800 and that might contribute overall. Still, this combo is amazing! I never liked my HD800 as much as I do now.

However, it stated the earphone is for iPod / iPhone / iPad. Can I used it for android and laptop? The connection is only 3.5mm jack, and I also know this model build for several different model as below link:

And, what's the different between build for different device?

Congrats, any reason why you chose that model instead of others?
You can use for anything, except the controls (e.g. volume, etc) might not work with non Apple products. Maybe the basic answer/end call will work, but usually the volume won't work with non Apple products.

Don't worry. I bet they will still have the drop in the future. What is your take on the Dac-X6 ? Sound signature I mean.

quite neutral. i dont find it warm. can make m40x and k240 sibilant at times. Both of these has has very similar spike around 10k, so that is expected, while neutral with hd 600.
experimenting different op amps now (2604, 5532), quite like 49860, but generally the differences are neglectable. waiting for muses 8920 but i doubt it will make much different.
at low gain can power hd600 til uncomfortable level at 12 oclock, and never pass 10 at high gain. this thing has power, which making an upgrade to magni 3 even harder.

I drive my HD6XX at most 1 O'clock at high gain. The magni 3 is neutral but smooth at the top end and it really depends on your source. It's quite clean, no distortion or anything. Honestly, I can't imagine a better amp at its price; at sub $300, it's in my top 3.

Congrats. One of the best headphones for that price, given that you like their sound signature.
Another forwarder would be comgateway in case you need another option next time.

It's quite hard to bring dac or amp that need a power source during canjam but a portable setup and headphones/IEM are recommended. Try the magni 3 there, you'll not be disappointed nod.gif

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if anyone has the Sennheiser 650 and has used them on their phones/desktop?

I dont have a soundcard, and I usually play music via google music or youtube.

my friend said that I would really enjoy the Massdrop Sennheiser 650's..

I have a friend living in the US who can ship it to me.

My question:

1)Is it worth it if I dont have a soundcard when listening on my desktop?

2) What about for my phone? Android Samsung S7

Yup. Schiit usually have HD600/HD650 and HD800 for a try out with their setup. But if you want to bring your HD600, that would be better.

I've tried the HD6XX direct to my SP4 and while general music genre e.g. pop, rock, etc does ok, it will struggle with some classical songs with higher dynamic range.
If you want to get more out of your HD6XX, you can just get a cheaper external dac/amp e.g. Schiit Fulla 2 is around $99 only. Or if you want to spend a bit more Schiit Modi + Magni for $200.

Preliminary FR graph and impressions by Jude

QUOTE
I've been listening to the Sennheiser HD660S all weekend, and here are my impressions / comments in bullet point form:
Years ago, one of the great Head-Fi debates involved the "Sennheiser veil." Some felt the HD600/650 were veiled; others (myself included) did not. We used to debate this so often that it was (as the saying goes) like beating a dead horse. It was such a common argument that one of the Head-Fi'ers (I can't remember who) came up with an emoticon that represented the beating of the Sennheiser veil horse.

Again, I was not among those who felt the HD600/650 veiled.

I mention this because the new Sennheiser HD 660 S, in direct comparison, is clearly more resolving than the Sennheiser HD 650. While I still wouldn't come close to calling the HD650 veiled, the HD660S is definitely a clearer window into the recording, and this is particularly evident when listening to denser, busier music. There's more detail across the audio band. If you like the level of resolution of the HD650, you'll like the HD660 more. Even if you think you don't want more resolution from your HD650, trust me, you want more resolution from your HD650.

The driver is based on the Sennheiser HD 700's driver, but it does not sound like an HD700 -- it sounds like an HD600-series headphone, through and through. Only improved. If I hadn't been told so, and if I didn't see the obvious HD700 driver resemblance, I wouldn't have guessed this simply from listening. What would I have guessed? I'd have guessed that they had come up with an HD800-like ring driver for the HD600-type chassis to get the improved performance. No, it doesn't sound like an HD 800 either, but the improved detail retrieval now puts it more in league with the HD800 (though the HD800 (and especially the HD800S which I prefer to the HD800) is still the more resolving headphone).

I'd call imaging / soundstage width similar to the HD650, but there's an immediacy with up-close sonic image objects that gives it a greater sense of depth for me. I'm digging this.

Tonal balance is quite similar to the Sennheiser HD650, but to my ears there's more flesh, more meat, more impact across the audio band. Also, the treble sounds more extended, faster, with more shimmer, but still smooth and very refined.

If you definitely prefer the HD800 (or HD800S) to the HD650, you'll probably still prefer it to the HD660S.

If you couldn't stand the HD650 for whatever reason, I don't think the HD660S will necessarily change your mind. If your main reason was a desire for more resolution, it'll come closer. If your main reason was tonal balance, keep looking.

I think overwhelmingly most will prefer the HD660S to the HD650. To my ears so far, I'm not sensing any disadvantages versus the HD650. None.
Following is a PRELIMINARY frequency response comparison between the HD660S and the HD650.

I should also mention that the earpads on the HD660S feel more roomy to me. It seems to me they scooped out the inside surface of the earpads. While I do think this may contribute to the HD660S feeling less clampy, its headband may also actually be less clampy.

My feeling so far is that Sennheiser played this update to this family of headphones perfectly, by putting a high priority on maintaining the familial sound signature while improving its sound quality across the board. So, yes, my early impressions of the new Sennheiser HD 660 S are strong. Very strong.
On a personal note, I've never put much weight in HF staffs impressions. But there are some minor aspects you can gain from it, e.g. FR graphs smile.gif

Would be better if we had a waterplots though. Otherwise just from the graph alone it, it looks like the HD650 is fuller with more mid-range emphasis.

Overall performance is quite good, the sound is fuller and tends toward warm sound signature, punchy bass if compared to my Musical Fidelity V-PSU+V90-DAC+V90-HPA headphone amp sysem which has very clean and transparent sound. Vocal music is more enjoyable on this monoblock, could be because of the valve pre-amp from the monoblock system. I believe the sound could be better if using HD800, hehe, but currently beyond my reach.

You can try the Sennheiser store in Bangsar Shopping Complex, or can order from Starpickers or Davis in Lyn.

cool2. I am currently driving both my HD6XX and HD800 with ECP DSHA-0 and I keep smiling whenever I play any song from TOKIMONSTA. When I listen to my setup with HD800, I am surprised that it comes close to Stax009+BHSE (listen to it at canjam). Sennheiser really done it right with HD800 thumbup.gif

It's a bargain when compares with a setup around USD 10k. It's DIY amp and this is the old version, the newest they have is DSHA-4 (solid state) and L3 (tube amp). Since the DSHA-0 is a prototype, Doug from ECP doing a lot of experiment with it. The DSHA-0 is better than DSHA-1/2 and L2 but slightly below than DSHA-3. One of the Head-fier said his L3 combo with HD800 are nearly on par with KGSHHV carbon + SR009. Doug really know what he is doing biggrin.gif

The parts cost are around $1850 + shipping for DSHA-0. They have complete instruction on how build all those parts together. But I believe Doug can build it up for you with custom chassis. Depends on the chassis and additional feature, it would be extra $500-1000. The full built for DSHA-4 is around $5000~ish.

*Idk what happen to the previous image. Decided to reupload using imgur.


Editted: ECP has still has black diamond and tropedo parts for sale. But it's easier to contact Doug to order the amp. here is the email dsavitsk@ecpaudio.com

Hahah bro mine also arrived today. Just noticed the XLR connector isn't Neutrik.

Gonna sell your NFB11.28? What's next?
Yea, the connector looks/feels like some cheap crap... even the braided cloth look/feels like crap lol
Not anytime soon, will be moving next year March-April so still got quite a bit of time. Was looking at iFi Pro iCAN, Cayin iHA-6, Holo Audio Cyan, etc. Haven't really decided...

Visually speaking, the cable looks rather nice. Cyan is interesting especially with amp feature.

Cyan is not out yet. I would rather wait for a review and its only play either just PCM or just DSD.

Because it's an obsolete product. It's been replaced by the Momentum 2.0

I just got My Sennheiser 598Cs. I change headset from Kingston Hyperx Cloud 2. Then I try with Fiio Q1 demo set at Jaben Kuching . What a sound.
So much better than my hearing aid sound quality and now I realize how bad my Cloud 2 sound quality. Word by word in song so damn clear.. Then I book Fiio E10k on the spot.
Hope can have good experience later and buy another headphone Superlux 688B since I read good review for that cheap headphone.
Now. I never buy gaming headset anymore. Sound clarity and bass so much good. Nearly crying.. I never hear sound like that using my hearing aid you know.

I wonder what people who invest expensive setup hear.. They must be in heaven..

As I moved up to a more expensive setup, the margin is getting smaller but I pick up more things that I never thought exist in the song when I listen to them before. I keep on searching for end game setup until I forget to enjoy the music. Now, I decided to stop and enjoy the music as the difference with my setup to $10000++ setup is too small; too small to notice at least. Now, I enjoy the music way more than I used to and I am still not in heaven yet I guess innocent.gif

598c is a great choice for the price. but if u can source from overseas, u can get either hd600 or hd650 at similar price as local brand new 598c.

Yeah it is great but the Jot is a neutral amp with a side of brightness. Using it with balanced output allow it to have more control with overall tonality, not to say the SE is not good it is just that since the HD800S comes with balanced cable and the Jot is obviously better with its balanced output, there's no reason for me to use the SE for the HD800S. However, I do use the SE output for my ATH-MSR7 which I do find too bright at times but lower volume+low gain always help.

I have only ever tried the HD800S on Jotunheim w DAC and the NFB-28 because they were within my budget; preferred the Jotunheim w DAC over the NFB-28.

Like I said, I will be using the Massdrop O2 as my amplifier, so I need some recommendations for a dac that is portable. Budget below rm500.

Sorry. I missed that for some reason. I know someone here who use FX Dac-6, that could be a good option; Modi 2 and JDS ODAC is another option.

Using O2 and Fiio Q1 (Portable DAC/AMP) here.
The only brand you need to look at is Fiio for that price range. K1 (RM200) is portable dac, no build in battery, small and should be ok to pair with O2.
Same goes with Q1(~rm300) and Q1 mk2 (RM479). Both are quite powerful, should be ok to power HD6xx alone, can confirm because Q1 can power my HD600 to listenable level.
If your objective is to make your dac and O2 portable, I'd strongly suggest consider K1 or even Audioquest DragonFly (RM1k), because O2 isn't exactly small.

For desktop, yes like Sanpai ahmadfaizadnan said, DAC-X6 is ok to power HD6XX too. Fiio has desktop amp too at reasonable price.
Other desktop DAC i am researching too are Topping's D30, Massdrop x Grace Design's SDAC and JDSLab's OL DAC. OL DAC will be replacing ODAC. All these are around USD100-110, with SDAC the cheapest at USD80 not including shipping. SDAC will be on MD mid this month.

For desktop, yes like Sanpai ahmadfaizadnan said, DAC-X6 is ok to power HD6XX too. Fiio has desktop amp too at reasonable price.
Other desktop DAC i am researching too are Topping's D30, Massdrop x Grace Design's SDAC and JDSLab's OL DAC. OL DAC will be replacing ODAC. All these are around USD100-110, with SDAC the cheapest at USD80 not including shipping. SDAC will be on MD mid this month.

For the HD6XX, essentially a HD650, the Q1 & Q1 Mark II does not have enough power to drive it properly. You'll lose the resolution on the lower end.

Try looking for the shop name call POYATU audio store on Aliexpress, bought few cables from them, including for hd600. Not bad quality. I think they have with mic version too, in case you want gaming with it.

Hi sifus, I just bought a Sennheiser Hd650 and I'm looking into getting a balanced amplifier. Before that, I would need your kind recommendations on which balance cable to get for my headphones. I'm not looking at expensive cables at the moment, just need something simple and affordable.

Hi sifu, anyone using the Sennheiser momentum wireless? I notice when i go to certain shops in shopping mall, the music becomes choppy. Is like the bluetooth connection becomes distorted. The headphone is connected to my phone and the phone is in my pocket. Is it normal?
My previous Sony bluetooth sbh20 dont have this issue before.

they are cool. some of their staff a bit inexperience with headphones but that was expected from a new place.
They carry 600, 650 and 660s. 700 and 800s too.

tried 660s. but the place is a bit noisy to test open backs. Not a bad headphone, but a bit underwhelming coming from HD600.

Usually how long it takes for model released in other country to reach Malaysia?

A refreshed model (i think?) of IE 80 just release under the name of IE 80s recently, wondering when it will be launched in Malaysia?

I would've expect that too especially with the current HD600/650/6XX price. Not sure if its worth the price difference.

And there ya go for those who kept droning on about the 800S “distortion”.
Have mentioned before, but I’ve never heard the distortion, and neither did others until they read Tyll’s review.
And just like Head-fi, many did not even hear the 800S before jumping the gun fanning the distortion rumour instead of using their own ears to listen. tongue.gif

Yep I did. Mostly it’s those who insist there is hardly any distortion heard and those who say they hear it. In the end I’d still say it’s listen with your own ears instead of jumping the gun believing reviews or measurements even if it’s from Tyll or Jude lol.
The only measurement I actually look at is the FR chart just to roughly get an idea of the sound signature. But even then I only give the chart a 50% serious attention.
But Axel did confirm that they did not intentionally do anything to add any distortion.

what is the price for these model at the flagship store if anyone know?

- Sennheiser HD 461G (Davis sell at RM377)
- Sennheiser HD 4.20s (Davis sell at RM396)

anywhere got promotion/offer for these model? also, how is HD 4.20s compared to HD 461G? i tested the HD461g, found that it is bassy and also nice clarity.. but it looked heavier than 4.20s.. 4.20s looked more trendy.. rclxms.gif

As I have the pad on, I removed Senn dust cover because the Dekoni has its own dust cover. I noticed that the 'sss' sound is emphasized more. I also have SDR mod applied which is not a big problem with the exaggerated 'sss' sound but might be an issue with the stock HD800. With Senn dust cover and the pad on, I found that the clarity was lacking thus decided to remove the dust cover. Honestly, I love what I have now more than before due to its soundstage and bass response. Just to note that the 'sss' sound could be an issue to some.

Err..Hello, this is my first time in this thread. Sorry if this is out of topic.

I has an HD201, but it was not much used since '14. I just realized, maybe I stored it wrong before, all the wires had already, sort of, rot..

Can it still be repaired? Anyone can do it? Is it pricey? Because since it is not much use fo me since I'm more into IEM, I thought of just selling it cheap.

It can be repaired, but based on my experience modding it, it's rather time-consuming and the supports holding the earpads in place snaps really easily. How much are you thinking of selling it?

My friend just received the HD58X and its with me right now. I gotta say for USD150+RM100 shipping, it is a steal.

Clarity is there, not as much as the 600 series but with the tighter sub bass and less veily sound made it much more enjoyable than the 600/650.

Thanks for the quick comparison. I didn't get the HD58X because I'm still enjoying my HD6XX and already bought the PC37X for gaming use.

Yes. Can try all of their high end stuff there. I personally have tried IE800 and HD700 and 800. The headphones were phenominal but IE800 was underwhelming to me. It was very good but not at that price.

Edit: I just walk in, at KLCC. Maybe I was with my DAP and earphones, acah2 audiophile the salesperson layan brows.gif

im coming from 700s and going towards 650 or might as well 6xx.(not saying 700 is worst sounding, just changing mood).
660s caught my attention at first, but decided to letgo since i lost that soundstage of 700 might as well buying the cheaper one 6xx.

As far as sound concern, 660s having better clarity and details of 650, would say brighter 650 & slightly narrow soundstage and warmer sounding of 700s.
Like u put it between 650 and 700,and realized its more like 690 rather than 660.

and 660 easier to drive at 150ohm but its still amp picky imo.

There is a sennheiser shop in Lot 10. Must be newly opened but not sure when exactly. Lots of goodies going for huge discounts up to 60%. I bought a fake sennheiser elsewhere before so i am skeptical. Anyone experience with this store?

The HD58X drop is up again. Grab it quick and hopefully you'll find a way to send it to Malaysia.

My friend just received the HD58X and its with me right now. I gotta say for USD150+RM100 shipping, it is a steal.

Clarity is there, not as much as the 600 series but with the tighter sub bass and less veily sound made it much more enjoyable than the 600/650.

can you recommend me forwarder? 58X is in-stock right now

How do you guys compare the sound of HD650 vs HD6XX and HD58X?

I only heard HD650 before and can only base on the sound from there.

hd6xx is the same as hd650. the difference is just the paint job.

hd58x is very similar sounding to HD660s, but with slightly more bass quantity therefore slightly less neutral (emphasis on slightly), otherwise hd58x is probably 95% of hd660s.

hd660s has more clarity (slightly less mids, less midbass), more extended bass (subbass) and highs than the hd650.

to me, hd660s/hd58x is the modern take on the classic hd650 sound, but if u are a HUGE fan of HD650's flawless mids (can be a bit shouty at times, but still no other headphones can compete in this department), u might not like hd660s as much because of the change in sound. of course, the sound difference isnt really that big actually, but it is noticeable.

Thanks for your info.

How do you compare HD58X’s highs? I loves highs and subbass for the crisp cymbals and clear bass notes of bass instruments

but im already satisfied with the sound of hd650 last time

Not worth it, especially ringgit is growing stronger now. Get a new pair at USD199 + shipping (<RM100), it will just be close to RM1k.

The balanced cable for my HD800S broke laugh.gif

Well not broke but it started cracking and exposing the silver wires inside. Kinda disappointed how of all cables I've used this is the first to break.

Hi, planning to get the HD6xx on massdrop using EZbuy. Wondering if we have to pay for import tax for the headphone, if so how much for it for anyone who got theirs via courier forwarding services?

Its over RM500 so i assume >6% or more total price of headphone+shipping+insurance for tax?

It's 10%. I recommend using BuyAndShip, don't have to pay tax and it's a cheaper proxy.

Hi, I am interested to use BuyAndShip.. when you say don't have to pay tax what do you mean? means definitely won't kena held by kastam or they will pay for you first?

I want to order from massdrop but I don't want to deal with kastam (going there physically and stuff).

Won't kena held by kastam and won't need to pay the 10% SST. Rate increased a bit recently, but still considerably decent for the price.

Using Massdrop x Grace Design SDAC -> Venture Electronics RunAbout Plus (with warp core) -> Sennheiser HD6XX

That's probably the best 'budget' set I can get.

I asked their customer service, apparently i can declare whatever price I want so probably I am going to declare like 70USD for the HD6xx and hopefully it will pass kastam without issue rclxms.gif

Placed my order and hope they ship out soon!

got my HD 6XX last week using Buy and Ship as my forwarding courier. Ive been using PC37X for 3 month now they share quite similar sound tbh.
But HD 6XX hands down more detail and full sounding.

now only use PC37X only for gaming coz it has mic in it. but for solo gaming, i will use HD 6XX all the way.

current setup Grace SDAC > JDS Labs Atom > HD 6XX / PC 37X.

Hi guys, I've been quite interested in buying the Sennheiser momentum in ear earphones (https://en-us.sennheiser.com/momentum-headphones-in-ear) for a while already. Price listed on US website is $99 and around RM400-500 in retail shops iirc. But when I check Lazada, Shopee etc, I can find many for around 200-250. Am I missing something here?

Would also appreciate some feedback on in-ear earphones in general and which models I should get if I have a budget of RM 500. Primary use is for my laptop.

Not yet, it took some time for postage within US (almost coast to coast) and now on the way to buyandship's HK warehouse. Should be arriving warehouse this 2 days, then only ship to Malaysia.

I think end of next week or so only I will receive.

ive been using ezipoz (official pos malaysia/ singapore post forwarding service) for my purchases from massdrop that have no straight shipping to malaysia.

for massdrop free local USA postage, it normally takes 4-5 working days from massdrop warehouse to ezipoz warehouse located in portland i think? and then an extra day or 2 for the item to be registered inside ezipoz account.
if you choose fast postage from usa to malaysia, it normally takes 7 working days +/-.

so total postage time is around 2 weeks+. The last time i purchased HD58x, i paid rm100+ like that for the total postage fee including insurance (i declared the item price under rm500).

UPDATE! I just received mine today. Took about 5~6 days after I paid the shipping fee.

They used skynet and only gave me the tracking number today, and it arrived! I only declared 60 USD and didn't kena kastam.
Damn the box is huge. I am at office now and can't wait to unbox today.

The box blew me away, it feels like buying a RM3000 cans.
But the plastics of the HD6xx is a little disappointing compared to the box quality lol. While I understand it's a steal to get HD650 sound at this price, I hope the plastic can be made of sturdier material.

Nevertheless, I have had eargasms in the past days. Perfectly fitting my song genres.

Now I have retired my ol' Alessandro MS-1. I went back and couldn't believe the sound difference.

Is there any update on the new HD6XX material? Cause my first batch HD6XX and my friend second batch are both similar if not the same material quality with HD650 as far as I am concerned.

I don't think HD6XX and HD650 is ever the same in the material, especially the band. Have you seen a HD650 in person?

I tried HD650 and the band's plastic is more solid and harder material. HD6XX is lighter, slightly more airy. Not like it will break but just feels different.

EDIT: I read on a reddit thread that it's the same material just different paint. I never had a HD650 and HD6XX side by side so I can't really compare, it was just based on my impression. Maybe the paint made the 650 feels more premium haha.

Yeah it's the same material, just different paint. I had them side by side once at a meetup.

I love it a lot with cavalli amps, any kind really. But I thought it sounded best with my previous ECP amp.

Yeah been eyeing La Figaro 339 for quite sometime but I don't have experience with tube amps just yet. Not sure if the stock tubes that comes with the 339 are good.
