I don’t know why you got down voted. Not every praise headphone is for everybody

I tried this setup at CanJam last year. It did indeed sound better than anything else I heard (Susvara, Final D8k pro, Utopia)

I went on a buying rampage and tried quite a few headsets.

PC38X

HD 560S

H6Pro openback

DT Tygr 300r

and all the rest already listed in my OP.

I landed on the 560S. For some reason these are comfortable and I don't have the issue I had with the HD 400 Pro hurting my ears. They sound amazing and are great for detail for the foot steps and soundstage and imaging. Perfect for consuming media, movies and shows as well.

I have a Mod Mic Uni attached as well.

I disagree. Subjecting him to the infamous Sennheiser Veil early on will prepare him for even better appreciation of a truly open and resolving audio experience later in life.

Adding to what everyone else said, if you have and IEM and you use a tip that make you don't, you'll be losing a lot of bass (not to mention it will probably fall off more often than not.

"If it doesn't fit it will sound like shit"

I have tried both but sorry not together. I’ve always liked LTA and came close to buying a Microzotl 2 but found a great price on a pair of Abyss AB-1266’s and was pretty sure it wouldn’t be a good fit but pretty sure the Z10E would do just fine. I think the only Estats I’ve heard from it are the DCA Voce and Stax SR-009’s and it was quite good but don’t think it is the best I’ve heard as the Woo 3ES is pretty special but didn’t hear them side by side . The CRBN from the 3ES is very good but the Stax SR-X9000 from the 3ES was amazing. I would also say the 3ES and CRBN was a bit better to me than the CRBN’s from a Blue Hawaii but that is just me.

Oh no, did you turn the volume up to 11? /s

Best headphones Sennheiser makes

I find the 600 series to be very meh

I lived in Takoma Park for 10 years and had no idea the company was there.

Not gonna lie, hitting a set of nice headphones after a fat bong toke is an experience like none other.

If that keeps you happy, great. As for me, streaming allows me to learn about and enjoy a lot more music than ever before (I have been alive for quite a while now), and a lot more than I could afford to buy on physical media - especially older stuff, classic rock, jazz of the bop/cool/fusion eras, and so on.

Why are you getting downvoted? I got all of these from Massdrop and look how they turned out.

And before anyone says… No. I’m rough with my gear or have an anger problem or anything like that. They literally just broke from normal wear and tear.

Hard to find lighter headphones than those. Also the clamp should not be too bad on a head that small.

What drugs are we talking about. We are all junkies here

Is that the MH1? I was a fan of MH1C, which was the version with the Apple pin layout.

In not sure if you can still get them. The MDR-EX15 are quite nice, though

Truly an exceptional headphone. Love my set. I totally agree with your assessment.

The Z10e, I've heard nothing but praise for, but CRBN I have not. I would really demo it against other well regarded stats before buying.

I heard this story somewhere... teach them to buy headphones early, they wouldn't have money for drugs ever in their lives.

I know the feeling. I've been reading about 'speed' and 'technical' side of headphones for a long time, but only after switching to planars I started to understand what it means. And now dynamic headphones are kinda hard to listen to :/ I'm thinking about planar iem as a next buy.

Consider getting something that is lighter on the head for your child. Those Sennheisers can be uncomfortably clampy even to some adults.

u/Acceptable_Crazy_117 well there's the Poweramp Standalone Equaliser app which can be used over Spotify so you listen to Spotify but use Poweramp Equaliser (not the music player) as the systemwide EQ... I can help set that up.

But if you have local files that you play that are not found on Spotify I think it's best getting this app rather, USB Audio Player Pro and then running Poweramp Equaliser as the systemwide EQ so it EQs the files played through USB Audio Player Pro.

Very much so

The egg shaped HFM reign supreme within their ecosystem, up until finding a reason to buy Susvara. I can't find a reason to downgrade once you've experienced the XS, the bass response alone is in a completely different league.
