I use the front headphone jack on my desktop case to drive my HD 650's.

BuyDig has the HiFiMan HE400i for $180. I'd love to try out planar magnetic cans, but you have to pay return shipping and pretty much everyone says my current HD650 are better all-around.

The HD6XX is an HD650. I prefer the HD650 to the 580/600 because it has a little more bass, though obviously we're talking about tiny differences. There's a reason the 650 is continues to be one of the best all-around headphones 15 years after its release.

DancingShade posted:In a couple more years my HD600s will be a solid decade old. Great headphones and for certain genres or non FPS videogames I'd take them over anything flashier & more expensive that I have. The HD6xx selling for $200 does upset me though. I paid $270 for my 650's back in 2013 and that was because an employee code leaked during the holidays. Josh Lyman fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Feb 23, 2018 |

Homestar Runner posted:Thanks hombres! Should I also get an amp for the 600 / 6xx also? If so, any recommendations? I'd give them a shot without an amp first.

Just for reference, my first time hearing the 650 (amped source), I heard enough difference between it and my 580 on that same source that I eventually "upgraded". However, I hear no difference between a 650 amped from a 7.1 receiver vs iPhone.

Hot take: you don't actually need an amp unless your computer or smartphone are literal garbage.

Jon Von Anchovi posted:What do we think of these?  The automated frequency adjustment is cool, but that's something you can do manually and most people just lose high frequency hearing as they age. No in-ear will be as comfortable as an over ear, and no over ear will be as light and mobile as an in-ear, so they've managed to combine the worst of both worlds. The skin-conduction system sounds like a fancy way of describing bass, and I can't imagine silicone earpads being comfortable for any extended period of time. I'm sure they're fine but they're $400. I'll take the HD6XX any day.

Do Koss Porta Pro actually sound good? I can't imagine how something with those ratty earpads can sound good, but apparently they do?

I got to listen to a friend’s Audeze LCD-2 the other day. I didn’t have my HD650 with me so I couldn’t A/B them, but I would describe the LCD-2 as extremely clear and well balanced yet with deep bass extension. It is a very heavy headphone though.

I owned the actual 580 and now own the 650. For me, the 650 has a touch more low end, nowhere in the realm of bass boost but the 580 felt a bit anemic there. Both are good though.

Elentor posted:I'm tempted to finally bite it and get the 650 for personal use since it has good mid bass and the 599 sounded impressive but I'm a bit more used to neutral headphones and by all accounts it's muddied compared to the 650. I just wish I had more choices in Brazil, especially wrt amps, because buying those is a nightmare.
