Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones
Mine arrived a couple of days ago, took ages for the local distributor to update shipping details, maybe they had a huge backlog this close to Christmas. Anyway, I have had an opportunity to listen to a few tracks now. Player is Sony BDP-S6700, DAC is Essance HDACC with headphone impedance set to 300 ohm. Clarity is amazing and I have never before been able to wander through the music and pick out each individual instrument and vocalist...

Ultimate Ears UE900s IEM
Thanks! And I hope you will enjoy yours too!
These definitely have a break-in period of at least 150 hours of use. But I've found a definite change.
The biggest change is it's stereo imaging ability. Despite being right in your ear, these manage to make a decently wide soundstage and have a frighteningly precise ability to image within that soundstage.
I find the mids are not the brightest part, but you don't listen to these and feel like you're...

AKG K553 Pro Studio Headphones
I got mine today (actually Saturday, but I routed it to the office and so didn't actually receive it until today). Very nice build quality and style, even the plastic parts didn't feel cheap and there are plenty of metal and rubbery material that it feels premium. I didn't have any issues whatsoever with the headband padding and it feels very comfortable. While thin, it felt adequate and definitely sufficient to keep your head from being...

What are Your Favorite Test Tracks and Why?
I like to test out the performance of new headphones (or any other part of an audio system) when I get them. I prefer to do my testing using the best instrumentation for the job that an audiophile has: My ears. As a result I strongly prefer ...

E-MU Teak Headphones w/ Removable Cable
A while back I bought the Rosewood cup to use with my Denon D2000 only to find out the driver tuning is different so the result isn't so good and I had to set aside the cup for a while. Recently I decide to jump the gun on E-Mu Teak s now trying it out today with Teak cup first then later on Rosewood then now back to Teak again. I figure I can outline the major difference for those that are interested in the future buys.
A while back before I...

That's your problem is you're assuming an individual is listening at 80 dB. Again, per the article that you're not reading:
TESTING WITH FLIM & THE BB’s
: Next I repeated the above test but this time using the same
Flim & the BB’s – New America
track shown earlier. I set the volume to where the loudest parts of the track were about at my limit of still being “comfortable”. Now the peaks hit 5.1 volts in one direction or about 10.2 volt...

Bungbox Ink (2-Pack)
My order shipped 5 days ago ... so to speak. It seems unable to get out of New Jersey. Pretty sorry performance on the part of DHL and/or the USPS.
Addendum: 4 hours after sending the above, USPS tracking says the package is at my post office and to be delivered tomorrow. I'm sure glad .... Nah! That's magical thinking!
