Sennheiser HD 660 S Over-Ear Headphone $499 Review

May 6, 2018 Comments Off on Sennheiser HD 660 S Over-Ear Headphone $499 Review

” The treble has really nice airy extension to it, though there is just a little bit more grain to it than some higher end models like Sennheiser’s own HD 800. Running out of my Glenn OTL tube amp, I felt that my 300 ohm headphones (HD 600, HD 800, ZMF Auteur and Atticus) were all able to achieve a more grain-free, transparent sound. In other words, I don’t think the 150 ohm HD 660 S has quite the same level of scalability as the others.”

“Despite only being supplied with a 6.35mm cable, the AH-D7200 is surprisingly easy to drive, and they don’t require heavy amplification. Using an adapter, even a humble smartphone can drive the headphone to sufficient levels. It would have been nice to see an option of a 3.5mm cable included as well, for some added flexibility.

HIFIMAN SUSVARA PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONE REVIEW

April 28, 2018 Comments Off on HIFIMAN SUSVARA PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONE REVIEW

“How does the Susvara compare to the best of the best? Well, it’s voicing is highly reminiscent of that of HiFiMAN’s Shangri-La electrostat, though with perhaps just a touch more bass energy and, if anything, even more dynamic swagger. The Susvara offers almost as much transient speed, transparency, and resolution as the Shangri-La… and even where it falls short it does not miss the mark by much. Perhaps that is the point; the £50,000 Shangri-La system is superb but priced beyond reach for many of us, whereas the £5,000 Susvara, though undeniably expensive, can get us surprisingly close to the sonic mountaintop for a much more approachable sum. True, the Susvara requires a powerful top-flight amplifier, but for now it stands as the finest planar magnetic headphone HiFiMAN has ever made.”

“This will be surely of interest to many of you. Stax have just released their new SR-009S flagship headphones. Here is the offical blurb: “If the fixed electrode becomes infinitely thinner, the air resistance will be de- creased and the permeability of sound waves will be improved. On the other hand, thinner electrodes are poor in rigidity and suffer from vibrations of their own and the sound becomes muddy.The SR-009S evolved further the electrode established in the SR-009 as the integration of present technology.

Focal • Utopia and Elear Headphones Review

“It’s the upper-frequency reproduction that separates merely excellent headphones from world-class performers, and at four times the price of the Elear, the Utopia proves that returns are not diminished as the cost escalates. The Utopia’s performance in this area was significantly better than that of the Elear, but it was also significantly better than the performance of high-priced headphones from other manufacturers.”

“The ear pads are made of leather over memory foam and they’re soft like pillows. They aren’t as deep as some other headphones as I can feel the tip of my ears touching the drivers. It might bug some people with more sensitive or larger ears but were perfectly fine for me. The rectangular shape is symmetrical so you will need to mind where the cable’s left and right plugs go.”
