Sennheiser HD 6XX vs Sennheiser HD 700

In fact, I'm so happy with the quality of the sound (which blows away my next nicest pair) that I'm already looking forward to finding something new. My setup is simple: Schiit Stack (Magni 3+ & Modi). I currently own: Audio Technica M50x (my first baby), Sennheiser HD 6XX, and the DT 1990s.

After the Sennheiser ones broke, I used the AKG earbuds that came in with my Samsung Galaxy S8+. They sounded worse, but kind of okay. When these broke, I used my mother's AKG earplugs from her Galaxy S7.

So if you've got a really big head like that, it'll, it'll actually still work for you. Now these do clamp on your head pretty tight. I'm a huge fan o...

Pros of the 700 Incredibly comfortable. These are light and have minimal clamp force. The ear pads are shaped like an ear and not an oval. The highs are amazingly detailed

Overall though what I found was that the 4XX kind of was a little bit in no-man's land between the two. It didn't have the impact and bass of the DT88...

In my personal belief, Sennheiser headphones, in particular the 800 series are the worst case scenario of hype train. I have run these on solid-state amplifiers and tube amps with some exotic tube rolling. The tube amps helped sound but certainly didn't make it worth keeping. The cherry on top is the fit

I used these things mercilessly for 15 years, gaming and even sleeping with them on. They still work like new. You cannot go wrong with Sennheiser HD6xx or 58x series cans.

Fortunately, the cord that Sennheiser sells for their 477 and 497 headphones fits the HD700 just fine. As I mention in the review below, the connection to the headphone is usual sub-mini mono TS phone plug, so these are headphones that you should be able to make a cord for, of wire of your choice, in a length of your choice. The case is holding up well: I pack the headphones in it five days a week as I head for work. The ear pads and headband strap are in good shape, and they are easy to keep clean

Decided noise cancellation was only nice on an airplane, and I preferred wired, donl't have to turn on or charge. If you have eyeglasses or hearing aides like I do, these are perfact. Yes I have expensive Sony noise canceling blue tooth, but the HD5XX are just in a different class, use all day, gaming, general listening. Plugged directly into Gigabyte Z690 Master mobo, no need for a DAC/amp here

This might be unique to me but it is bad ju-ju. * listening to piano tracks, you can hear the keys and pedal felts and paddings brush, along with other nuances that were not there with the BOSE QC15s, Bose Noise Canceling Earbuds, 5.1 120 Cenimate and Soundtouch 20, Vmodas.
