The upcoming DT-1770 was exactly what I was looking for as an upgrade to my 770s, but the naming is a little bit misleading. It seems to be a Tesla successor, and is priced accordingly, not a DT-770 successor.

After seeing the 6XX on Massdrop, I'm leaning towards picking up the HD650 now, since I don't have the patience to wait until December. The question I have is what DAC/Amp would I need for the HD650s if I already have a Sound Blaster Z soundcard. Do I toss out the soundcard and go for a USB dac/amp, or can I combine an amp with the soundcard? My usage is 70% music, 30% gaming, and while I would like virtual surround sound for the handful of Overwatch games I play a week (and probably Battlefront 2 when it launches), I don't exactly need perfect positional audio at the expense of listening to music/watching shows. Are USB dac/amps like the Creative E5, or G5 worth it? I like the form factor, as my desk area is cluttered enough as it is, and finding room for a Magni/Modi and all of the additional cables is going to be difficult.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:If you're paying the money, you might as well get the HD600 and the HD650 and compare them. Amazon is cheap enough and you can just return whichever pair you like least. Would the Fulla 2 be better than this? https://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=120&cp_id=12008&cs_id=1200801&p_id=11567&seq=1&format=2#specificationsTab I was also looking at the JDS Labs The Element, since it looks like a Schiit stack in a smaller package, but I'm not sure if it's worth the price premium.

I received my HD650s, and they have mostly been great, but the clamp force is making them quite uncomfortable - to the point where I am considering returning them. Is there something of similar quality, but more comfortable? I am coming from a pair of DT770s, which have been extremely comfortable - to the point where I often forget I am wearing them an hour after I've stopped listening to something. I'd have stuck with the beyerdynamic for the comfort, but the 880 and 990 seem like they would be more of a sidegrade, while the DT1990 is almost double the price of the HD650. Would the Fidelio X2 be more comfortable than the HD650? I tried to bend back the mettle part of the headband on the HD650, and comfort wise it went from a 2/10 to a 6/10 - so a definite improvement, but not on the level of my 770s (which I would rank as a 9.5/10 om comfort). edit: If I were prepared to step up in price, would something like the DT1990 or Amiron Home be a good purchase? The HD700 is cheaper, but from what I've read clamps as much if not more than the 650. TyrantWD fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Jul 18, 2017 |

I've been having some trouble with my Beyerdynamic Amiron where the sound in the left earcup was, softer, dropping or becoming fuzzy. After testing the headphone audio with my phone instead of Magni/Modi, and swapping the left/right cables, it appears that the the cable is the problem as the left cup played perfectly and the right was messed up when I switched them. Now my question is are there are any recommended cables that have both 3.5mm L/R and 3.5mm main connection? Are there any recommended brands/sites to look at? The cable I bought on Amazon turned out to have a 2.5mm connection, and I don't see any 2.5mm to 6.35mm adapters.
