New setup

Unfortunately, I decided to retire my LG V50 due to its cracked screen causing issues and bulging battery. I initially thought of buying another one; however, I realized that a player with bigger screen would be more beneficial to me since I also listen to live performances (particularly jazz) on Yo

Logitech Aurora Collection or Razer’s Quartz Pink line?

I would not buy anything from Razer, the build quality is just bad. Logitech makes good products. But personally for the headset if your priority is comfort and sound quality I would go for one made by an actual audio company instead. I have a Sennheiser HD599 that's lasted me for 9 years and it sti

HD599SE sound worse than AirPods 4?

Which device(s) do you use your HD 599 SE with? Generally speaking, they certainly don't sound worse than AirPods 4, no, and I'm not talking about EQ or anything like that. Even in their stock sound, they should be a warm, smooth, slightly relaxed pair of over-ear headphones and quite easy to enjoy.

Thieaudio Hype 4 - does it take getting used to?

I recently bought a pair of Hype 4 during a sale, and initially I was extremely impressed. However, I'm getting a mild case of buyer's remorse and curious to see what others' experience have been.

For reference, my daily usage is comprised of a mixed use of YouTube, Spotify (I know, subpar quality)

had these (560s) for 3 years (ignore the pet hair and skin particles please) is there a way to repair them?

Just get the replacement pads from Sennheiser website. They label them as the "analytical tuning" pads for 500 series. You can also pick up a pair of "warm tuning" pads which will make it sound a bit more like the 599 or old 558. If you use EQ I would actually recommend the warm pads as they have al

Time to see what the fuss is all about… HD 550

The HD 550 will definitely sound "Leaner" and "Thinner" than the very warm and "Thick" sounding HD 599.

Got my HD 599 SE today

I purchased a pair of HD 599 SE from eBay this week. I just got them in today. I brought them to work and opened my package. They are hooked to my computer with a 3.5mm - USB C dongle. The song that is playing right now is Animal by Miike Snow.

I have to say that I might have to sell my Sony WH-100
