diecastI need this information as well. I just received my X2's in the mail today and I've been enjoying them, but they don't have the crisp, clean quality of my HD600s. They sound amazing, don't get me wrong, but the HD600s are cleaner. Knowing how these will stack alongside the (not overly) bass-y X2s and the detail of the HD600s would be interesting. Even if these two are open backs.

BananaShoesthey won't be as crisp and open sounding as the HD600. I think other than soundstage they sound better than the X2 though.

diecastNot in the same ballpark at all. The hd600 is a gateway hp in this hobby, as so many people recommend. However, if you aren't looking to master a track, or just listen to classical then the hd600 is (imo) a bad recommendation for a audio hobby newcomer. i find that more people want to put a hp on their head that makes them go wow! I didn't know i could enjoy a track that much. That is what the th-x00 delivers. The hd600 is more a diagnostic tool than a fun headphone. It lacks character (but that is what it's supposed to be). Also, ill say it, the bass on the hd600 is weak. Now, x1 vs th-x00? I own the x1 and have listened to the th-x00 back to back against it. The th-x00 is superior in literally every way. Vocals sound more well rounded, more robust. Bass hits hard but remains clinically clean (this is where you will hear the difference right off the bat, the x1 has big boomy bass, the x00 has big better bass :)). Also, all this talk of sibilance, i have no idea what you guys are hearing. I catch no signs of it. Just my two cents.

Frostillicusthats the answer i was looking for. i want wow. i thought maybe the added detailing from the 600 might give it to me. im not mastering anything, i want fun, i want wow, i want detail, and i want better than my x1. and i actually love my x1. good to know im in the right drop. thanks.

diecastWe are in the same boat, after hearing the x1 vs x00 i knew i had to bump it up (i got the x1 for my bass heavy songs, since i listen to acoustic on the th500rp and some newly aquired zmf bw's) the x00 is, simply put, the most well rounded hp i've ever heard under $1k

diecastThe Senn HD600s are still an amazing set of Cans and I have owned a pair for OVER 15 years... It takes a really good set of cans to be much better.

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
