Did you try using the USB port on the right side? It was the only one for me without issues. If you have an Android phone you can easily check the current of the ports with a free app called "Ampere". The port with the lowest current worked great for me.

I'm having an issue with my DX1 and I'd like to ask here just in case anybody else knows a solution... I recently upgraded my laptop and now my DX1 randomly stops working every 2 hours or so. It stops outputting audio and in order to fix it I have to disconnect the USB and connect it again. For...

I've been using Oratory's equalization files for each model, which should make the difference between both models much lower, so I guess it could be just unit variation. Although I think Oratory should have made at least two different EQs depending on pad compression, but let's believe that both...

After using (and loving) my HD 600 for seven years I have decided to put them on sale and buy the HD 650 to replace them. I have found that I like the HD 650 a bit more. · The last few weeks I've been using the HD 600 with Oratory's equalization and new original pads. The vocals sounded a bit...

If I remember correctly Sennheiser packaging does not have any kind of seal or adhesive that could suggest if the box was opened before. But anyways the pads do look slightly used. You can check an unboxing on YouTube to see if the cable was not stored as it should be. Anyways I guess Thomann...

The pads shouldn't be angled by default. As a user with glasses, this looks like these pads were used by someone with glasses for a month or two and one of them was rotated 180º after being used. Are you sure these weren't "B-Stock" (returned by another buyer)? By the fact that one is rotated...

Yes, I can. Using the phase slider makes a difference. Although our ears/brain are more sensitive around 200~400 Hz, as you can see on this graph from RTINGS, which is based on this research. You can also read more about this here. On subbass, you need more degrees of phase difference to notice...

I would recommend lowering the clamping force by bending the headband. There are some tutorials out there since it's the same for many headphone models (600, 650, 6XX...). I did this to my HD 600 and I'm very happy with it, much better comfort now. Just make sure that you only put pressure on...

Oh, then you mean that these settings gave you the same listening volume? · Creative G6 on low gain with Windows volume at -20 dB (27%) · Creative G6 on high gain with Windows volume at -35 dB (10%) · Topping DX3 Pro+ on high gain with Windows volume at 0 dB (100%)

I'm a bit confused while reading this... are you keeping the volume control knob at the same position and only changing the volume from your computer? -35 dB on the digital signal is very low and the amplifier has to do a lot of work to amplify that to your "daily usage volume". In order to...

Yes, after trying out the Edition XS and the HD 800 S I confirm that the equalized bass on the HD 600 is not "high quality" (although it's better with the boost than without it). If I could get the Edition XS to sound natural on the vocals I would have kept them... but I couldn't and considering...

From older to newer: Sennheiser HD 595 (2010 | 100€) [GIVEN AWAY] My first real pair of headphones. I was quite happy with them. I wasn't analytical about the sound yet, but I enjoyed them and they were comfortable. Koss Porta Pro (2012 | 29€) [BROKEN] I bought these for portable use. I...

I always feel it in my head. Having the drivers away from my ears (Hifiman Edition XS / Sennheiser HD 800 S) gives me some sense of space and maybe a little bit more width but it's still in my head. Never had 3D image or sound coming from the front, although some videogames sometimes manage to...

I did hear some noise from my DX1 but only when I was not listening to any music. For example, when someone turned on/off lights in my house. I'm wondering if the noise filter is turned off when there is no sound coming out. Do you experience your issue also while listening to music? If so I...

That's right and that's the point since this thread is about Resolve's B&K 5128. I find it interesting to compare the measurements between the different rigs. I'll clarify that on my post just in case anybody else gets confused.

Out of curiosity... I have aligned the raw measurements from Resolve (B&K 5128) and oratory1990 (GRAS 45BC-10) for some headphones... I am sharing the images here in case anyone is interested. These are all aligned at 500 Hz.

I've been trying Resolve's equalization for the HD 600... I can confirm (using a tone generator) there's no peak at 8.1 kHz to my ears. In fact, the response there is reduced for me. Oratory1990's measurements and correction are way more representative to my hearing. I also had to use the -2 dB...

I spent many hours doing tests after writing this post since it's very hard for the untrained ear to know exactly what's wrong, especially if it's something you've lived with for many years. After some recent testing, I've come to the conclusion that it might not really be a time difference, but...

Ears are very good at acommodating to different sound signatures... Some days ago I did a test to evaluate the treble quality of headphones using a -15 dB EQ to all frequencies under 2 kHz. After a couple of minutes I switched back to normal and it sounded terrible to my ears. I guess it is much...

I'm thinking about passive filters, which is "just a cable" that lowers the volume of certain frequency ranges. If you want more treble I guess you could use a passive filter that lowers bass and mids... but I'm not sure if this is possible or if you will like the results! The user @solderdude...
