AdWorried5924 1.0He6se v2. They shine on dubstep and bass imo
AK_R 1.0Agreed, not likely to buy any of these. I might buy the Audeze Maxwell on a great sale. I have a couple of headphones for console that can be powered by a potato, the PC38x and Aune AR5000. For PC, where I'd play competitive games, I use HE1000se, HE6se V2, and HD490 Pro. I've heard the Arya Stealth is also excellent for gaming, but I don't have that one.
ALXqc 1.0Hifiman He6se v2!!!! god damn these sounds soooooo freaking good!!
archiewaldron 1.0My closed back Sony MDR 7520. Not the most transparent, not the best bass, pretty narrow soundstage but easy to EQ and drive with my Qudelix 5K. Decent noise isolation, too. I’ll be taking it with me on an extended tour through Asia and Europe. The Hifiman HE400i comes a close second. Pretty neutral and easy to drive. (My Hifiman HE6SE v2 sounds remarkable but it’s too hard to drive with anything portable)
atom631 1.0350-400 you should have HE6se. Nothing touches it in that category. Need to add Tungsten to the expensive category.
Axiomatician 1.0I have he6 se v2 and am curious if I upgrade to he 1k will unlike then the same. I bass boost my he6 and they are heaven
beegeepee 1.0If you have a powerful enough amp you can usually get the HE6se V2 for around $400. However, you definitely need a lot of power for those.
blank_dota2 1.0Hifiman HE6SE V2 are often on sale for $399. Focal Hadenys is one of my favorite fun cans. The Hifiman Edition XS tend to go for $239-$269 depending on sales etc. Hifiman house sound is generally brighter than Sennheiser (expect for outliers like flagship HD800/HD800S etc). I’ve tried EQing the treble up in Sennheiser cans (HD650 and HD600) and tried using Oratory’s EQ in Peace but it still sounded odd to me. It’s just Sennheiser’s HD650/600/6XX house sound. I much prefer Focal and Hifiman’s tunings.
Brbi2kCRO 1.0D50II + A70 Pro + HE6se V2 + bass shelf EQ = win in terms of bass
Daemonxar 1.0This guy’s got it right. Personally I’d find a pair of used Elex if you want to try Focals; they’re basically a super 6XX with bass. Very little will sound “better” than the Arya at this price point. I prefer the Meze 109 Pro and the HE6se V2 over the Arya, but I wouldn’t say they’re objectively better.
