Reply to Some cheap headphones are so good it's almost ridiculous. Buy the HE400SE and SHR840A. by mistersprinkles1983
Cheap headphones have gotten so good recently.
Sennheiser have the HD599 which is almost constantly on sale for less than £100 on Amazon
AKG have the K702 which has a superb frequency response and fantastic soundstage. With technical accuracy which really isn't that far behind the HD600.
The Koss KSC75. £20, supremely comfortable, superb sound signature, especially for visual media.
It barely seems necessary to spend >£200 on audio gear anymore

Good to see. I wonder if he's also going to improve the filtering system? It would be nice to be able to filter by price. EG, filtering headphones down to £300-£500

I think mine was a similar situation. Kept the 6.35mm cable on because it's easier to wrap that shorter than trying to stretch a cable that's too short

Maybe they've changed the cable. When I got my HD599 a while ago, they came with a 2.5-6.35 with an adapter that went the other way round. I mean realistically, it makes little to zero difference in terms of practicality but it's interesting to see these minor changes.

Are you sure you connected via the line output?

Mid and low-fi are kind of ways to describe hifi. If something is low-fi, it sounds like crap and is not of any real worth. Think my-first-cassette-recorder sort of junk.
Mid-fi is more related to affordable yet still very good hi-fi. Generally, anything that is more expensive than what the layperson would buy but cheaper than what a massive audiophile would spend. For headphones, I would say anything from about £75-£300 would be mid-fi. That isn't to say that there aren't good products cheaper than that, they just don't fall under the mid-fi moniker.

What tea is that? Doesn't look like the standard colour I (a brit) am used to seeing.

Strobe light. Then I can get the best of both worlds

HD599 are v-shaped so what you’ll be noticing is the decrease in midrange response. It’ll take some time to get used to

Reply to What is the actual difference ? by ultima-train
Drivers are by far the only thing that makes a headphone sound good. That's like saying the only thing that makes a car fast is the engine.
You also have to consider the housing, cables, material, pads etc.
As well as that, a driver is tuned to sound a specific way. Not that different to how vehicle engines are tuned to perform in a specific way. An F1 car and a Suzuki Ignis both have 1.6L V6 engines with a Hybrid motor but the F1 engine performs better.
