Nice. Sucks to live in the EU tho. :/
My first audiophile headphone, and still the one I always come back to. There is simply no better headphone for playing music quietly in the background while working. It’s relaxing, natural, beautiful. It never wows or distracts, but it’s never quite boring, either. It’s far too musical for that. It has a very unique sort of magic. It does benefit from excessive amp power.
How do they compare to the HD650? My brother has those and I prefer my HD598. Not sure if these would be an upgrade.
not exactly a “sale”
This is delusion talking. This is absolutely a sale. You don’t find these cheaper unless you go second hand market.
Got mine last time this price came around and it was well worth it
This or the HD 600?
Would these be a significant upgrade to phillips shp9500? Casual listening with a dac/amp
I don’t even have these but from all the discussion and seemingly high praise, this seems like such a steal for these. And only $150 for the HD58x … I wish more of my friends would get stuff like this instead of paying more for what I (and probably many) think are inferior.
I had the 6XX before but sold them. Now have the HD600, HD660S, HD660S2, and wondering if I should pick these up again cause that’s a great price.
You don’t really need it imo, you already have great 600 series headphones, and the hd 600 is just a more refined 650/6xx. So unless you wanna complete the collection, it’s not worth
I just got one yesterday, upgrading from a Koss KSC75 and was disappointed by how muddy it is compared to the Koss earclips and had to EQ it. This purchase made me learn that I prefer V shaped headphones for listening to music
Might I suggest turning off the EQ. and spend at least 3 days listening to some of your favorites?
Your brain needs to adjust to the real sound the 6XX delivers.
Promise!
This. I did that and never looked back.
This is the best price you’ll find on these. If you’re waiting for the deal, this is it.
I ordered them last night, I work for a univ hospital so I saved another $17.90.
The lacking in bass holds me back.
It’s a steal.
Loved the k7xx for comfort (weight and low clamp pressure) And clarity (not a bass head)
Will I enjoy these?
The HD600/650/6XX are significantly better headphones than the K7XX in my opinion.
I still use my 600s, even though I own headphones 3-4 times as expensive, my 7XXs on the other hand are barely being used at all these days.
It’s a great time to be an audiophile
