There's an integrated circuit in the headphones that puts a cap on the voltage so it can never exceed X amount.

how does that work exactly?

Koss PortaPros?

That KT88 should be enough to power them!

Hey Arnold !

😂

I am ashamed at how long it took me to figure out your post.

James Horner's music was pretty great, just saying.

Lol.

get your ears cleaned

My guess is Focal Utopias or Meze Elite.

Also figure I'd add to the pile on of excessive ID posting here.

How do these compare the 6xx?

Better yet wearing the nice headphones while taking a fat rip. You feel transported

Ah the MH1, predecessor to the legendary MH755.

me behind my book shelf beating on it to stop my younger self from putting my 6xx’s on.

Having tried this myself, it was so much better than I was ready for. I was waiting to listen to the MM-500 and the CRBN was already available so I tried that first. Absolutely fell in love. Ended up liking it more than the MM-500. I wish I had more time with them, as they were one of my favorite headphones at the show.

honestly probably because the IEM feel closer and hit harder to bass?

It's jokes now, but please opt for volume-limited headphones when buying the kiddos their headphones

660s also literally ruined my life

The Delta A319 Airliner didn’t have enough power to unleash the full SQ out of my ENDGAME IEM so after getting back home I was shocked to hear bombastic highs and lows that were missing from the airplane jack

logo bring back memories

Its like saying Desktops are dead because laptops are so convenient............

I have another ones, angled, for like $59 or $69 in like 2007. Felt like they were very overpriced and didn't sound better than cheap ones. I might try them again if I find a missing tip somewhere (unless it was eaten by a vacuum :P). Their cable was deteriorating the sound though, it was detachable for splitter mounted 3.5mm so I tried using it as an extender for Sennheiser earphones and found that out, but I guess this also mean I can just use another one.

Tell your kid those are the only headphones they'll ever need.

i disagree. you're supposed to subject him to the lowest of low-fi headphones ever and then slowly work your way up to the hd600 which he would then have a greater appreciation for. if the he-1 was the only headphone you ever wore, you would never appreciate it

Ah a fellow gentleman peruser of the TA-30 and substance.
