This may be a dumb question, but I have to ask: Is it possible to blow out a pair of Sennheiser HD 6XXs with this amp, or would I go deaf before that ever happened?

I think the HD6XX max input is 600mw. Even on lowest gain setting (IEM) I am playing about 11oclock on the volume knob. So you will melt the voice coil in most Dynamic Headphone on High Gain.

IamfrmSydUh oh--I haven't used the headphones too much, but I've definitely used them up to about 60% on the highest gain, although I've been limiting them to about 60% on the middle gain recently. I hope I haven't damaged them.

JehoshuaYou don't have anything to worry about - and can ignore the numbers. Any damage that will happen to headphones will only occur when they're being driven to the point where the headphone drivers themselves are distorting. This level of volume in most headphones out there, will blow your ears out and probably lead to immediate, irreparable hearing damage if you were actually listening to them at the time. As long as you're listening at levels that are comfortable to human hearing, your headphones will be fine. You can see Shure's statement on it (and various other audio myths) here.

Which finish/options are being offered? The first and third photos show the dark gray with silver; the second dark gray with oxidized brass. Other than the front combo, the back would be different as well - light gray for the silver accent, black for the oxidized brass. I used to own the latter (had to sell because reasons) and would enjoy the chance to buy it again, especially at the price. Thanks!

My earpads are starting to fall apart but DROP no longer sells replacements. Does anyone know where to buy replacement earpads or if there are earpads from another brand that will fit on the Pandas?

As far as I could find on B&O's site, the original H9 3rd gen had Bluetooth 4.x...is this a newer revision of the H9 3rd gen?

Are these for use in a stereo pair? If so shouldn’t they be sold in pairs? Or are they meant as stand alone speakers? Please elaborate.
