LOL! Getting to try the HD650 out of a portable stack was what got me back into this after I "retired" running a K550 straight out of my mobile. Stupid Sennheiser making good headphones.

Of course my preferences eventually moved to the older sister Senn but that's another story haha.

With what I heard about the Romanian units...I am holding on to mine real tight.

Yessir, I just bought a back up 650 from Ireland and HD600 again. Only headphones I really need.

Yeah, Happy 4th to all. USS America is still as sea in some heavy water it seems, even though it is Home.

Also happy 4th in particular to other Americans living abroad.

Yesss, join us, we have cookies.

Also what was up with your Ae in the end?

The dark side is too strong....

My Aeolus is fine. Turned out the driver fell out of the housing. It's all good now.

Thanks. Let me check with the dealer. This is weird. He said his Eikon rattles too. Even as I'm wearing the headphone, if I move my head left and right, there is a sound.

Are you sure it's the driver and not the headband and forks? Because those do click and clack.

The sound comes from inside the cups. Like the driver can move around when I shake it.

Sorry to hear this.

Thanks guys.

At least yours is a cable problem? Mine is a bad socket. That's another 3 weeks wait, and gotta send this cup back later. I wish this unit was checked before shipping.

Ouch. That's a lot of waiting. Hope things speed up for you!

I hope it's just the faulty cable for mine, haven't checked it thoroughly yet. Fingers crossed problems don't come up later after I get the cables...

Thanks man. Hope yours is fine too.

Maybe different pads? For me, they sound the same.

I dont understand it too. Gonna try again this weekend.

They’re saying a bunch of new products are coming this year, hopefully a balanced Loki is somewhere on that list.

Pretty sure Jason said a balanced Loki would have to be se internally, and if there's one thing that's always a slight letdown on schiit its balanced to se conversion.

Having a built-in Loki module would simplify the setup significantly.

After using the Loki, I cannot go back to digital EQ.

We're SBAF graduates!

I don't think one ever graduates. One just earns the right to learn more deeply.

Congrats on the Friend status gents.

My HD800 monitors me from afar....just in case.

I just picked up a pair of HD600, I have had the HD650's before but found them to have a touch too much bass. These HD600 are just amazing. <3

They are both great. But I also find it harder to go back to the 650 after 600.

I find the 650 bass very effective for rock. But the 600 has more energy for female vocals, which I listen a lot.

Have you met my family? I'll stick with audio, tyvm. LOL

Merry Christmas!

LOL. That bad huh?

Church duties done! Time for buffet!

Thanks for sharing this. I've been looking for updates from him here, didn't think to check headfi.

Oh, Many thanks! That was a great read.

Would love to have at least been pressing thanks, or like, or whatever headfi has, buttons... but although my account probably still works I intend not to use it again.

Pleasure mate. Definitely a refreshing read to take a break from audio.

For the record, I always agreed with Tyll regarding m50x being 95% as good as Z1R. Though for me, more like 85%. Z1R was an underwhelming experience.
