aRc Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I have the 990's in 600 ohm and they are great with the Beta or Phonitor. Did you mention the loudness level of your playback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mention the loudness level of your playback? I've read on the other site in posts from Skylab (I think) et al that the 600 ohm is less sibilant than the 250. Re: loudness, I'm not sure how I'd measure that, but probably in the 100 dB area(?) - loud enough to hear all the details, but not loud enough that it's uncomfortable.

acidbasement Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I went to Winnipeg last weekend and met up with a head-fi'er to A/B compare my Beyers to his HD650s. The difference was night and day, and I am now sold on Sennheiser 100%. The bass and treble definition was still all there, but the midrange was far more present. When listening to a bluegrass CD, I could barely hear the guitar with my Beyers, yet with the Senns the guitar was huge, and driving a great deal of the song's energy. I'm going to get an HD600 as soon as I get financial approval, as I recall liking it more when I A/B'd the 650 and 600, though they were quite similar.
