Reply to comment by [deleted] in What is the next step from HD 560s? by cronuss
My immediate question exactly.
I've been in the hobby for a few years now and have had several mid-fi big guns like HD 650, K712 Pro and others. Sold mostly everything except my original HD 598 SR (still the ones who get the most use because of gaming) and Porta Pros. Eventually bought a pair of 560S for music paired with my K5 Pro. Never looked back, never feel any need to upgrade anymore. They really are spectacularly competent, defined and resolving. I like them infinitely more than I did the 6 series and honestly you get to a point in the hobby where you're just spending money out of curiosity with very little payoff.
I realise this is easier said than done but do try to appreciate and be content with what you have if it is factually already top tier.

Now that I'm gaming with a Schiit stack in the living room, I sometimes miss my old K712 Pro. They sounded a little artificially wide and clinical for music listening but they'd be the balls with that setup. Comfort was also pretty good, only the build lacked a little.
Glad you're enjoying your 702.

The top hat is an adorable finishing touch. Kudos to you both for your good tastes.

Reply to Graduated so I don’t need to take out iPad anymore. Pulled out the Fiio k5 pro and X2HR from storage and placed them back in their home. by Daugdaug_
You should store the X2 by the leather headband and not the elastic strap. It'll loosen up eventually the way you have them.
Otherwise that setup is looking good.
