Grado SR80 I’ve had for what I think is 20 years
Grado SR325e
Sennheiser HD660s
I’ve stopped using Grado’s as I have mild tinnitus and believe the Grados are aggravating it and I find the Sennheiser easier on my ears

650 was released in 2003...

 

[Epos7]

650 was released in 2003...

Looks like you're correct. Amazon lists the HD600 initial release date as 2000.

Looks like you're correct. Amazon lists the HD600 initial release date as 2000.

Still wrong date, more like amazon only start selling them by then. But I don't think it was released in 70s either.

1. JVC H505 (yes - still working!)
2. Beyerdynamic DTX900 (no serious anymore)
3. AKG K550 (Nice close hp)
4. AKG K452 (Small size - mostly for walking around)
5. Sony MDR-XB950 (for heavy bass)
6. Sennheiser HD660S (my favorite of course)
7. Bose Soundsport wireless (great bass - clear high)
8. Bose Soundsport wired in ear (great sound also)
9. Sennheiser CX200 (in ear budged small headphones - very nice in bass sound, also)

Added lately Sennheiser HD 25 f(mostly for their portability - nice for their price)

Just got the tripowin mele a few days ago. Am still in the adjustment period. Changing the tips helped to quell a 2-3k excess somewhat. I still feel its a little hot in that area exacerbated by a litte to little level around 150-250hz for my taste. The rest of the frequency range is very good and free of noticable problems. Other issue is the wire though nice looking is microphonic. With a touch of eq I'm enjoying them quite a bit.

In these days I do not have headphone because they are wasting my time to encouraging to Watch Something that will ultimately waste my time.

Finally received my Shure SRH1540 after 1 month of transporter shenanigans. My completely sighted impressions after 1~2 hours of playing with them is that they're really comfortable due to their light weight and extremely good pad design, but that the sound quality without EQ is mediocre. Indeed, the LF bump is really prominent and easily drowns too much of the spectrum.
After fiddling with the LF portion of the latest EQ settings from Oratory1990 in mpv (see bottom), I'm happy in comparison with my Genelecs and Beyerdynamic DT250. The only mystery is that I play them a lot louder than the DT250, even if they're supposed to have a higher sensitivity.


~/.config/mpv/input.conf:

q af toggle "volume=volume=-3.7dB,equalizer=f=27:t=q:w=0.6:g=-4.2,equalizer=f=95:t=q:w=0.5:g=-8.6,lowshelf=f=105:t=q:w=0.7:g=5.5"

DT250-80 or DT250-250 ?

Used amplifier has an output resistance > 30ohm ?

-80, with my Xduoo X3II (found "Output impedance at 100 Ohms: 0.74 Ohms (1kHz), at 32 Ohms: 0.6 Ohms (1kHz)" on Head-Fi) under rockbox.

Duh, it's probably because I have -3.7 dB of pre gain for the EQ.

 

[solderdude]

The DT250/80 ohm version has a sensitivity of 111 dB/V.
The Shure SRH-1540 is 112 dB/V so should not differ much (without EQ)

Found a cheap (but becomes a bit more expensive) closed headphone that sounds excellent (with modifications).
In stock form it is nothing really special though.

Looks impressive with the 940 pads (and I can't stand anything but textile pads).

 

[solderdude]

Have thought of buying a few (€ 34,- + pads = € 20,- and filter mod € 15,- a bunch) and sell them in Europe only for interested folks.
Outside of the EU shipping and import duties take away the fun.
So for about € 70,- (excl. shipping with DHL € 12,- to € 16,- depending on country) just for the fun of it.

It's still a cheap build and the headband may not look nice anymore after a few years but including a hardcase and 2 cables it is a fun closed headphone.
