*me watching this while wearing brookstone cat ear headphones* Yeah maybe I'll consider

Iv'e purchased an HD6xx from the second batch together with an 02+SDAC when Massdrop was still Massdrop , never regretted my purchase, never had better sound.

Sennheiser support is phenomenal too. Worth considering if purchasing too

best review on this with regards to gaming...thanks

Good point about a headset not being as great for design work. Best audio quality comes without a microphone but external mics are available :P

sold my astro a40 tr and got the 6xx and fii k5 pro,been using it since January,no regrets!

Underated channel

I've got a HD58X and love it, is it worth upgrading to a HD650 for gaming and listening to music? Mostly playing shooters and listening to rap music. I have a Schiit Magni and have a Modi on the way.

Nice man, I love my Sennheiser HD 650's and my Sennheiser HD 660S.

You're absolutely right about the sound quality difference, and good insight into the open back/sound stage conversation. I have the 58X and loved them so much I purchased a DAC+AMP. Although I thnk the sound signatures are very similar, I do regret not purchasing the HD6xx as they're ever so slightly better imo.

nice intro music! Track name?

The apple dongle measures quite well in tests for sound quality (apple engineered the dongle really well for the size and the price compared to anything else for the same size) so for portable use you don't need anything more specially if you get the hd58x since they have half the impedance than the 650 and they won't respond to different kinds of dac/amps as much as the HD6xx/650.

nice

So...which is the best? Which has the best soundstage out of these? Which has the best positional audio? And are there better alternatives at the same price range?

How do these compare to the Audio Technica AH700?

Own the 58x’s and run them either through my Fulla E or my Evga Nu Audio. Want to get a pair of Hifiman Sandarus or another quality planar magnetic set of cans. I stream and game, don’t really listen to music. Locally I can get a pair of 650’s for $150 and can probably talk the Sandaru seller down to $200. I also have a pair of the Corsair Vertuoso SE’s for when I want wireless. Oh and also a pair of the Sennheiser gsp 500’s

4:30 can you name some headphone with bigger soundstage? I am using DT 900 pro X and wuld like to get something with wider soundstage i.e. understand ym surroundings in game better and ofc I dont want my ears to get blown when I get headshot in any game by a deagle (like in csgo, not cs2) Budget - $500 ish nothing more AMP/ DAC - topping dx1 Purpose - Gaming only / cs2 / valorant / DEFAULT should be the best for gaming i.e. I will NOT be using any EQ software

Guys, help me pls: Focusrite scarlett 3rd gen and sennheiser hd6xx how this will work together?

So 58X or the 6XX for someone more into gaming?

i got the 58x for 100 bucks i got them open box new, but u think i should have got the 6xx ? i mainly do competative gaming where footsteps matter, and ill also be using them for movies and music

What about hd 660s?
