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

Reply to HD 650 ruined me by GLikesSteak

650's are indeed great, nothing quite made me stop and just vibe to music again like it did. And not to mention orchestra with them, I dislike the words "lush mids" but that's definitely how it sounded.

"I Was Born For This" by Austin Wintory always gets me the 650.

The regular 650 has slightly better build, and better colors, I would trade my 6xx for a 650.

Reply to Finally able to run the HD560s balanced! by BruxSC

You can't really do a balanced cable with a single ended cable...

The whole "balanced" is having ground for each side, and with how the 560s is built, you can't do that lol.

That's the reason it took you 2 years to find it, cause you can't make such a cable for this headphone.

Ig it is functional at least which is nice, but the "balanced" part of it is fake.

The idea of a headphone "scaling" with gear is that the headphone will sound "better".

For example, compare an hd6x0 from a dongle and an amp like the Magni3+ and you'll see that the bass sounds tighter, less boomy.

Some headphones scale more than others, for 99% of headphones you don't really see that scaling happening much, and most you'll need is an apple dongle.
