XLR works better than 4.4. Any form of TRS connectors will momentarily short one or more contacts when (dis)connect. Not a problem for XLR.

2.5 prone to bending - I baby my gear and this has never happened.

I imagine DAP designers secretly hating 4.4mm. To me, the bigger socket takes up valuable space in the DAP chassis / PCB.

Hate 4.4, I really do. Late comer to the party. 2.5mm and 4-pin XLR already well established.

A useless Sony-backed standard, very much like Memory Stick in the past - Why couldn't Sony just get along and support Secure Digital?!

Reply to [Sennheiser week] "Kitchen bench" HD600 in its natural habitat by mang0000000

Got them from late 2000's. Still sound lovely to this day. I listen with oratory's EQ (Harman with bass)

Still have the original pads, which are very comfortable. Sennheiser's build quality is (was?) superb. The headband sponge is all flat now but no big effect on comfort.

Here's the HD600 posing on a real kitchen bench. Synergy is through the roof!
