Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...

To give an idea of where I'm coming from I traded fully aktiv Linn Majik 109's for fully aktiv Linn Ninkas. Translation: I like mellow. The 109's are incredibly revealing, but the Ninkas just rocked better while still being world class transducers, and most importantly could be listened to for hours, like the 6xx's.
I now have a Massdrop cheapo Aune X7s (XLR out) fed by either my Oppo 105D (the same DAC as the HA1) or my Linn MDSM/2, because neither, superlative boxes by any standard, can drive the Senns as well as they can go with only their own puny headphone outputs. So yes, you've gotta get an amp.
BTW, HD6xx's sound pretty darn good straight out of my LG v30+ (which now has a bootloader exploit!)!
