philodox Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 The HD650 is my favorite can, and it sounds like they share a lot of similarities. Really?Has anyone ever heard these out of a PPX3 Slam 6SN7 amp, or can anyone make an educated guess as to how this amp would synergize with the K340?I've heard them out of a PPX3 SLAM and thought that it was a pretty decent match. Seemed to be able to drive them with authority and there was no lacking in bass definition.
alfie Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 I would say the same. They (the two K340 I listened to) share many things, like the same tonality and the same kind of presentation, ala speakers. Of course there are differences, but if someone asked me what headphone the K340 is like, I would say HD650.

Of course there are differences, but if someone asked me what headphone the K340 is like, I would say HD650. I'd agree only in that the 340 is the only headphone that I would have kept alongside my 650 if I had an interest in multiple headphones. I felt that neither distorted the tonality of acoustic instruments, within reason. In the end however I found that the 340's were a little more fatiguing to my ears, and as a musician by profession, I need to be safe!
deepak Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Posted February 25, 2007 So far I've found that the HD650 is actually very slightly more enjoyable for classical (in my setup). Both my unmodded K340's are unable to offer the immediate slam of tympani drums, but they carry the sound over distance better than the HD650. On all other accounts they are both pretty much neck and neck. The K340 offering a brighter presentation, the HD650 darker.
philodox Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 I would agree that the K340's are a bit brighter than the Senns, but that is a good thing in my mind. As for them sounding similar... I just don't see it. Tried to expand in more detail, but after deleting my sentence ~10 times in a row, I think I'll have to give up for now. I feel like crap today.
deepak Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Posted February 25, 2007 So about 2 weeks for that modding thread right
philodox Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Did swt61 say that the parts came in for Redleader?

postjack Posted July 1, 2007 Report Posted July 1, 2007 So what is a good price on some K340s? I'm selling a few pens and looking at this ad: i dunno about all that bass heavy/bass light malarkey. if i liked the sound I'd send them to larry anyway. also j-pizzle how about an update?
postjack Posted July 1, 2007 Report Posted July 1, 2007 fuck ass!! i keep putting img frames around links: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=248367 i just found out about the stupid clicky buttons a few weeks ago (instead of just typing url or img) and they have ruined my link posting abilities.
aerius Posted July 1, 2007 Report Posted July 1, 2007 I wouldn't even know what the price on those things is these days, I got mine for just over half that price a few years back. I think that's around the going price, but check with jpak or someone who's bought them in the last year or so for the scoop.
n_maher Posted July 1, 2007 Report Posted July 1, 2007 Seems like a decent price to me considering the extra pads and all.
