Vote: Which Headphones Should I Get Rid Of?

[samwell7]

Bonus points: get a set of K702 pads for the K7xx then you've got two fairly different headphones which only take up one spot

I'm inordinately fond of the K371s, but think the 6xx pair is more 'truthful'. Haven't heard the other two.

The HE-400i need to be EQ'ed, but Amir has measured them and made a profile.

Ergonomically, they're my least favorite because they make my ears hot after about 45 min. I also continually yank the cheap connecting cord out of the cans, which never happens on the Senns or AKGs.

I find the 6XX to be very comfortable, can wear them for hours, just with the stock pads.

And then get rid of which?

Seems like any number of headphones can be made to sound good with the right eq.
I'd say with this group, comfort is likely to spark more joy.

Copied from post #19 "I voted HE-400, I figured with the K371 (closed back), K7xx (wiiiiiide soundstage) and HD6xx (more intimate, speaker-like) you've got enough differences there.

Edit: thought the HD6xx was based off the 600 not the 650, changed 'neutral' to 'speaker-like'"

I mean, it‘s not like books serve any useful purpose...

Maybe I should be.

Perhaps I should get rid of 2....

Perhaps even the Utopia.

If I was going to go Focal, I think I'd go for the Clears.

I don't listen to headphones enough to justify $4K cans.

They remind the domestics that I am a man of higher learning and taste.

They look like a $5 grab bag of assorted 2nd hand books interior designers install when staging homes for sale. HeHe.

And the cool thing is, you don't have to actually read them: "Proust? In French? I had no idea!"

Yes, my taste is so good people copy it to sell houses.

Marie Kondo would hate that.

Wow....the HD-6XX has only 1 vote against it....

People are really piling on those he400s. Another reminder not to buy one
