I’m glad you were alright and are on the road to recovery. Wishing all the best!

Man it’s moments like this when you’ve been away from them or whatever reason you haven’t been able to experience them. It’s a breath of fresh air. Omg the panic when picking which ones to use first

r/tinnitus can help you more.

Shows how much improvement has happened in the last few years in this space!

Beats will make me move….

As far away as possible

Sennheiser hd 598 and then the HD 599

I love my Salnotes Dioko. I upgraded from my KZ ZSN PRO X, and the difference is night and day. For $100 my experience was better than a mid $20 option. If you can be happy at $20-30 that’s great but I found a lot of technical improvements spending the extra money. So to spend an extra $50 for someone that you can keep and enjoy more.

I have been thinking of upgrading the laptop instead of buying an amp. How was the hd660 off of the air?

I’m okay if it is worse than a dedicated amp. But can the Air do it effectively?

You have described my audio journey. I don’t have the 6xx but I have the Akg, 599 and 598. Heck I almost bought some 6xx’s used on marketplace🤣. Will also be reading the comments with as much interest as OP.

Maybe the 600 will be my next step. I do enjoy the Sennheiser ideal of having nice mids. Some people don’t like the high bass boost but I enjoy it. Hifiman’s QC is too scary for me.
