I always wondered who that first run of tan/beige/whatever Senn product is for before they put out the black version… now I know

I have HD650 and just run them off my PC’s front audio jack. I’ve also listened to them using the 1/4” headphone out on my A/V receiver and there isn’t a noticeable difference in audio quality. I’d get the headphones (might as well get 6XX to save money these days) and enjoy them and not worry about an amp.

That's kind of impressive because PC front audio jacks are notoriously lovely, usually due to lovely unshielded cable running inside a computer case.

I spent a little time over the weekend adjusting the headband on my LCD2C and they were pretty comfortable before (disclaimer: I have a huge head), but now they're pretty great. They would kinda get out of adjustment after a while but I tightened up all the screws and picked the setting I like for the ear adjustment and tightened those up as well (thankfully still have an old rear end small radio shack screwdriver set in my office that had the right bit) and now they're as comfortable as my 6xx probably.

I can never go back to my HD6XX's :stwoon:

After equalizing hoooly poo poo welcome back sub-bass how I loving missed you. Bass finally has impact again and the sub-bass rumbles my chest, and none of the mids or highs get sacrificed or muddied up. I should have gone straight to these from my Fidelio X2's fuuuuuck.

The 6XX was a good intermediate step for me as I was able to get it for less than I paid for the 598s that I was replacing, and it convinced me that I could continue finding value in upgrading. But yeah it’s sad I have a whole listening station with the 6XX and the LCD2C and the 6XX are kind of a parking space for my modmic now.

I ended up using someone from the internets eq settings for the LCD2C and just bumping the sub bass a bit, and I did also have fun experimenting with eq on the 6XX as well since that was a known quantity that to me didn’t really require any eq intervention.

Well I got a pair of LCD-X to see if I could tell the difference between them and the LCD-2 classic, and it was quite noticeable. Now I have a Fiio K7 (trying it out over my old Xonar Essence STX) and a balanced cable and I'm done spending money on headphones, but I'm pleased with how everything sounds.

Moondrop's TWS buds have the voice of their mascot doing the usual TWS status update messages like power on, bluetooth connected, noise cancelling on/off etc.

Weird. I don’t even like regular speech announcements like that, I’m a system of beeps man.

I’d try the X 2021 for an LCD

I’d say the X 2021 almost remind me of the 6XX, and the weight doesn’t bother me (I was worried it would, I probably wear them 8 hours most days) but I guess that’s personal/subjective

I came from the LCD 2 Classic and I would say I had to EQ those to be happy with them.

gently caress, they got vintages too? what’s the difference? can i buy the 2021 one new and under warranty?

It would be better described as “second edition” or “current model” that’s just what they fuckin call the ones made from 2021 on

one of the funniest things in audiophile circles is the number of people who will decry trying to measure quality by "objective measurements" and then say poo poo like "do you really think a $500 turntable sounds even close to as good as a $8000 turntable???"

It’s an objective measurement of money spent = better you see

Double-down on my earlier notion! Put the remote people on speakers so everyone can hear, nobody wear headphones. Yeah, I'll show up in the headphones thread and say "don't wear headphones," what of it? :)

Yeah buy a conference room speakerphone

I dunno about voicemeter but if you just want to apply an auto curve to your headphones install peace gui, it’ll make sure equalizer APO is installed on whichever device and you can hit the C button to run the auto config and load a predone one for your headphones

Front audio ports on pc cases are notoriously trash unless something has changed recently
