HD560s vs HD599 thoughts and questions!

I find the 599 to be significantly warmer, and darker than the HD 560S. They are basically complete opposites for me in terms of sound. The ear pads should be identical, but it's possible for them to be shaped slightly different from the factory. Also, the headbands are plastic, if the 599 is too lo

How would you guys describe the sound of the GW100x?

I had the GW100(1st gen) and currently own the GW100(2nd gen). They remind me a lot of the Hemp's sound. They have way more bass than the SR60e and are slightly more laid back. Amazing for movies. I have HD599 and they are the worst headphones out of all that I own. Other than comfort, they're super

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 Ohm, Sennheiser HD 560S, Sennheiser HD 599 which the best with fiio ka13

HD 505 is my pick. I found HD 560S to be too neutral and bright leaning. Just felt like standing on the road trying to hear the sounds. Lifeless and not enjoyable TO ME. I found the BD DT 770 to be a sibilant unnatural mess. I know a lot of people like them but for my ears they were just like needle

Crusher Evo Vs PLYR 720... My Gaming Perspective

So if one does not care/want that level of deep base, but want to use them for FPS, like CS2 and whatnot, then I imagine these should be pretty good? I have the Sennheiser HD 599 SE currently, but just don't find them as comfortable as others.Any idea too if they have to be charged as well, for the

Having trouble finding correct headband and earcup fit/positioning/seal and right driver direction/tilt with my Sennheiser headphones

This may be a bizarre thing for someone to worry about and focus on so intensely, but believe me when I say I am really struggling with it and it's real, not in my head I swear.

I mean, I do suffer from OCD and it's likely to be half of the problem, perhaps I'm just overthinking it, but there trul

The HD 599 SE has poor audio quality

EDIT: Asked Amazon for a replacement, the newer HD 599SEs are much better. I think the older one had a problem, the higher frequencies were far too boosted. The HD 599SE still has a bit of a boost in the higher frequencies, and the lower notes are slightly recessed, which is why I still prefer the s
