Heyyyyyyy Singapore gang! Had you spent much time at Zeplin Co. At sim lim square? I had 650’s and thought I’d be happy with those until I ran across an ad on Carousell for a pair of HD800 @ S$700 🤤. The 650’s were gone in 3 months 🤣

I am talking about people that say the FFT is equal to impulse response because... math.

FFT implies infinite bandwidth.

Oh that’s proper hifi, don’t let the existence of multi-1000-dollar/euro/etc headphones discourage you! It was never really my thing, but if I had liked it, I don’t know if I would have ever looked for more.

interesting, thanks!

Love my 80e so much I have to marry it

Eh I get it's part of the charm but I just couldn't live with it. I was truly surprised at how close the knockoffs seemed to sound, and the build quality was miles ahead.

Do other songs seem like this to you? Because this particular song likes to play around with different "directions"

I don’t think you know what a blind test is. So you believe that if you listen to two sources, and you do not know what either of those two sources are, you then listen to one of those again after a process after which you have no way of knowing which source you’re listing to isn’t random? It doesn’t matter who presses the button. If you have no way of knowing there’s no way of knowing. You’ve just got caught out

This imbalance can be caused bcuz of less power bcuz I'm using it of my phone using Abigail dongle ?? Or should i send to Sennheiser for service or repair ??

Guess I'll be stuck in "mid fi" for quite a while, thankfully!

Oh , give these albums a try if you haven't already . They're magical with good headphones.

Steven Wilson - hand cannot erase (or any of his albums honestly) Daft punk - random access memories / Tron legacy soundtrack Arturo Sandoval- Trump evolution (sound on that one is epic) Yes - closer to the edge (Steven Wilson remaster) Pink Floyd- The Wall / Wish you were here / Dark side of the moon Gladiator Soundtrack

SO many others . You found any great sounding albums ? I'll give them a go. On gaming nights I stick in the ie800s monitors and just listen to full albums on edibles . It's Bliss.

Believe me, it saved you 😅

Her main vocal sounds center to me, but the backing vocal are the side

I haven't had my hearing formally tested, but I would be shocked if I have much hearing above 15kHz. I'm 45 and I was a drummer, and marching band with high tuned snares without hearing protection I'm sure took off quite a bit of the top end.

But on my hd650 it sound like vocals are coming from left side .

Mate, your method fails on multiple levels.

You haven't done an actual blind test.

You don't get to act with this level of arrogance when you haven't even done that much.

Center stage to me🤔weird..

Um… you just don’t look at the display? You don’t control where the alt tab lands because you have no way of knowing. You do it at the start so you don’t know what A or B is and and you don’t know what X is. That like saying a randomisation algorithm isn’t random because you pressed go.

5 consecutive results is what a 3% chance of guessing all 5 correct?

Kinda are though. Unless you think someone can count in hundredths of a second to know what tab they’re currently on?

Inhale exhale by Aurora vocals are panned to bit left or my hd650 is defective ?? I want to know??

Noticeable after tube swapping, warmer smoother sound than if I were to connect the headphones to the DX1 alone, which is a really clean solid state dac amp. Stock MT602 sounds very much like a solid state though, so gotta tube roll if you want something more tubey.

Those amps , they change the sound much ? . I have an old headroom powered and battery powered headphones Amp but but doesn't do justice for the 800. I'll have to throw the 650's on it to try .

Lol it's not a proper blind test if it's you that's controlling things, regardless of whether you squeeze eyes shut or not.

Plus did you do that at least 10 times per song to rule out the possibilty that you simply guessed the right answer out of sheer luck?

While I admire your inclination to test it out in the first place, I'm afraid that any results you obtained by the method you described above are not reliable whatsoever.

I have included details of how to conduct a proper double-blind ABX and provided links to freely available tools in the link above, should you want to give it a proper go.

Or at least you can simply listen to the samples I recorded side by side and see how they are incredibly hard to tell apart when you don't know which is which.

Exactly that!

Only listening. Comfy chair, Rochefort 6, in the dark.
