6XX or 58x Jubilee? Go!
Taking a jump into the rabbit hole of "audiophile-dom" and would like to start off right. If you had to choose between the Sennheiser 58X Jubilee or the 6XX which set would you roll with? Price difference doesn't matter - after doing some research I feel like its pretty split, hoping this will help make up my mind. Thanks all!

HD 6XX. It scales like mad and is actually still one of the most resolving headphones on the market. These two characteristics make it particularly useful for evaluating changes in your chain. And I do find it quite the relaxing listen.
I think the HD 58X is good and in some respects better than the 6XX (extension in treble/bass, for example), but it just doesn't have the same level of transparency to source and isn't as smooth in the treble.

Price difference is going to come from the amp that you need to drive them. It will be easier to find one at a lower price to do justice to the 58X.
6XX needs a beast of an amp, but when it has one, sounds amazing. You're looking at more expensive amp with more expensive headphones, and you might not even like the sound any better.
I'd start with the 58X if you're just getting in.

Everyone claims that, but their numbers say otherwise. If you know the math, you know they're full of it.
Yes it will drive them, but the question is how loud you can get without distortion.

Unless you have a good amp, the 58X would be the better option. They're very close in sound signature anyhow.

Loud but distorted is most likely scenario. Albeit, that's based on assumptions made from the fact that they only give one output power rating for low impedance.

HeeftyThat’s what I was banking on so I went 58x. 200 is t terrible if I upgrade in the future and add an amp into the mix.

The are so good and different at the same time.
Lets say. I Have bought HD 660S after 1 minute of listening in demo shop for 550 USD (In NZ=15% tax etc)
And later had the same dilemma 6XX or 58X?
So, decided to buy all of them for the same price plus 7XX: 199+149+199$
6XX, 58X and 7XX.
No regrets at all.
6XX for main system 300 Ohm
58X for portable
7XX for gaming etc ( IMHO the best sound stage after HD800S for that price)

Finding your groove: getting into vinyl with Audio-Technica
I’d like to think that I could’ve been friends with the late Hideo Matsushita, founder of Japanese Hi-Fi powerhouse Audio-Technica. If I could, I’d travel back in time to 1960’s Tokyo, where a young Matsushita curated “vinyl listening sessions” at the Bridgestone Museum of Arts, exposing visitors to the sounds and possibilities of high end audio and the warmth of vinyl records. I imagine sitting with him in a mod coffee shop, listening to the stories of what he witnessed in those sessions, the conversations he had with visitors, and what ultimately motivated him to head back to his small apartment above a ramen restaurant and start an audio company of his own. In the histories I’ve read regarding AT’s humble beginnings, Matsushita’s motives seem clear. Produce high end audio at affordable prices, bringing audio excellence into spaces and to customers that simply didn’t have access to it before. His first two products, the AT-1 and AT-3 phono cartridges did exactly that, and...

The tuning was great, very HD800 like without the strange wide sound stage.. However for my head the arms don’t extend enough to fit the ear. As it is noise cancelling headphones like small ear cups.
My ear lobes bottom is slightly touching the ear pad. Ok for 30mins not ok for a few hours

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
