I just got a new pair of 600s on sale from headphones.com and so far I'm a little unimpressed but I'll have to hold judgement until I can actually hook them up to my schiit stack because I don't have my rca interconnect cables yet. But once I can use them off my stack I'll really have to dedicate an hour or two to get a finalized opinion

Listening to mine right now, I also had to have the countertop design, the new ones are boring IMO. 8hr workdays is what this headphone was designed for, easy to listen all day with no fatigue.

It’s supposed to.

i was going to guess water damage indicator sticker but i don’t think that’s it

Spiral out!

Yeah, but I wasn't sure it was a good pairing for the Meze or not. I love Meridian products and it was bought for streaming Tidal into my home system.

Aaah, the huh duh six hungos by ol' mate senn

Which do you like better, 600 or R70x or is too early to tell?

Listening I can do anywhere. In fact I'll probably just stick to listening on the mezes. I thought they'd be better for gaming than listening, but dang, I'm starting to think closed backs don't get the love they deserve. Everything is so crisp.

That's a lot of chifi there. What made you buy 2 pairs of iems in the same price bracket?

Surfboy by Underworld. There’s so much going on in that track. Sounds amazing with planars.

I use the Campfire Audio deez nuts Mesh IEM Bag to keep the paint safe!

Keyboard, mouse, and headphones game on point.

Put them back in, immediately

They are or were at the top of Crin’s list and he’s the guy around here. Me personally, I really did not like them at all for a lot of reasons but I’m in the minority on that. I think its popularity has faded a lot. There’s just so much coming out these days and things get left behind fairly quick.

The high output impedence will likely also be contributing to your focals (and possibly sennheisers as well, depending on how high the output impedence is) sounding extra meaty, since high output impedence sources on low impedence dynamic drivers will usually result in a boosted low end (definitely the case with focals)

Kinda, yes. It's hearsay, but it's probably due to power noise. Sadly, the D10 can't take a dedicated power supply. You could try using one of those USB filter adapter things.

The D10 isn't broken, so you could sell it and get a DAC that comes with a PSU. The JDS Atom DAC would be my choice.

What questions are considered purchase advice?

• A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.

• Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.

• Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. "should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?").

Why does this rule even exist?

• In short, this is a large subreddit with a high volume. We want to help, but it's important to keep things organized to keep the sub fun. Thanks for your understanding.

• A more detailed explanation about this rule can be found here.

What if the link doesn't work?

• The post can usually be found on the top r/headphones, and titled Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk.

Eh. Depends how you define neutral. Rtings target has a pretty substantial bass boost, which you may or may not consider neutral. In general when it comes to 'neutral' frequency response targets, its referring to the mids and top end, with bass quantity being a more preference based thing.

I kinda went all in 🥳

When the rated wattage drops at lower ohm rating the device is current limited/has a very high output impedance. Either could create issues with the planar, the former being more impactful than the latter.

it is not a hobby anymore, it is an addiction.

They used to be a lot more popular. I owned a pair probs 6-7 years ago and wasnt a huge fan. I liked my hyla CE5s more

Where are you downloading 24bit hi-res music?

Congrats! But… starting with the flagship of ibasso and the flagship of shure I hardly can call it “beginner” setup…🤣🤣🤣
