HD599SE sound worse than AirPods 4?

Should be good enough as a source, actually. While it doesn’t have the (much) better DAC/amp that the M1 Pro models introduced, the HD 599 SE is not that hard to drive. Make sure the cable is properly inserted on the headphone side (→ twist and lock), and also check all available sound settings on y

HD599SE sound worse than AirPods 4?

Yeah, I know they must sound better at least because they are wired headphones and just because Sennheiser has great headphones in general. I use my HD599 with my MacBook Air M1 since it’s my only device with the 3.5mm jack.

HD600 Setup

I am probably not the most helpful in this question - but I tend to listen to all types of music (metal, rock, EDM, pop, dance, classical, jazz, soundtracks) - and I usually and exclusively prefer the HD660s2 for that for it's warmer analytical sound. HD490 pro are a bit more exciting and bit more b

Audiophiles: What's the optimal headphone impedance for the Mac Mini M4?

the m4 mini actually has a pretty decent built-in dac that can drive up to around 80 ohms comfortably. for best results without an amp, you'll want something in the 32-80 ohm range. i've been using a pair of beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 80 ohm and they sound fantastic straight from the jack. if you go lo

Best earbuds for lossless?

Biased, but sennheiser HD 600's, 620s, HD 599/569. In almost all scenarios where you'd be using headphones/earbuds, unless you're a true audiophile, the slight bump in audio quality ain't worth dealing with a cable and the crazy data usage.

Trying to decide whether a FiiO K7 / K11 would be worth it for HD 599 SE’s.

Cheap audio chips have gotten very good. If I recall, the HD 599 only needs about 1Vrms to reach 105dB. So a dongle like the FiiO KA11 or even the North American version of the Apple dongle will accomplish that.

Are sennheiser 350bt wireless still worth it?

I‘m not really familiar with prices in India but with regard to Sennheiser at least, usually good „budget“ wired open-back options are (refurbished) HD 599 or HD 560S headphones. They have also just released a new closed-back USB-C wired headphone, the HD 400U, but I haven’t personally listened to t

How good of a DAC/AMP do I need yo drive a HD600?

For the HD 600, I mean it's said that it's not difficult to drive. In my brief 2 month experience and years on the HD 599 SE.. Buddy the thing is you can drive it, heck the 3.5 mm jack on my Moto 60 Stylus can drive it too. But these drivers shine when you give them a little more juice over the top.
