( moderator edit , go to page 7 for the results , no fault with the headphones. User error . )
My HD58X is beyond bad,its frequency response drops off with brutal brickwall style steep slope past 13.7 KHz.This isnt just another "Sennheiser veil" nitpicking,this is like broken headphone with damaged drivers that make everything almost unlistenable.
In past three weeks I heard 3 new HD650,1 new HD650 with old drivers ( silver box ),1 used new driver HD650,3 new HD600,1 new HD660S.I have listened these in shops three weeks ago for about 12 hours total before I decided to order my HD58X from Massdrop.I am 27 year old without hearing damage.Also its not source problem,mine have same brutal treble roll off no matter what source.
Both drivers are matched well and both have this treble problem so someone at Sennheiser must have approved these two drivers when doing quality control check.My theory is that since the headphone is so cheap,they decided two use two drivers they would normaly trow in thrash becose they failed QC,they matched together two crap grade outliers and shipped it to Massdrop warehouse.My other theory is that for some headphones,they use different inferior driver.
I read many reviews and saw many measurements and nobody have this issue so I am probably extremly unlucky and its rare thing that happened only to me.Massdrop doesnt accept returns,nobody is going to buy my piece of schiit headphones so I was practically scammed of my money.
I know Masdrop and Sennheiser have good name and most people are satisfied,I however was pretty much scammed by them so I wont ever buy anything from Massdrop again despite the fact that this is Sennheiser who is responsible.
Never buy headphone you didnt hear first from place that doesnt accept returns,different headphones of the same official model designation can have drastically different sound and driver inside them.
This is my serial number.
