Brighter than the HD 650 would be good for me personally. I personally enjoy the tuning of the HD 600 the most of the whole HD 6xx lineup and find it the most musically engaging for me. The HD 660S1 is kinda boring on many systems but can be enjoyable with the right setup, I find it behaves...

So are the upper mids more akin to the HD 600 and HD 650? I find the 660S2 is a tad too reserved in the upper mids and wish they had slightly more energy there and the 660S1(late production) has the ideal amount of upper mid presence for me. I wonder if the HD 620S is in the same technical...

I’m quite eager to get my hands on these myself, they’re going to be quite different than my other headphones. Though comparing their spatial behavior compared to my T1.3 will be quite interesting. Maybe I’ll finally get back to reviewing headphones with these.

The T1.3 headband clamps like the DT 1990 Pro headband. Much tighter clamp than the Gen 2. You can use the T1.3 headband on the T1/T5.2. Problem is the headband is expensive I think. Of what I owned the DT 1770/1990 Pro and especially early production T1.3’s (newer ones are more around DT 1990...

Never had any of those issues on my T1 Gen 2 Black Edition or the T1 Gen 3. The Gen 2 felt a little floppy due to the lightened clamp after a lot of use but never had the bad adjustments, flaking/sticky headband, etc. Nor do the grills feel glued on, etc. on either. Pads are velour and have held...

The DT 700 Pro X pads are a bit deeper so should work.

I've never had the chance to hear the HD 490 Pro so can't say.

A bit difficult to properly do now as I don’t have the DT 1990 or Amiron Home on hand now so have to go based off memory but I’ll give it a shot. The DT 1990 is the most direct sounding with the snappiest sound with an emphasis on powerful dynamics(especially the balanced pads). Not as familiar...

The T1 Gen 2 and Gen 3 have an incredibly musical sound to me with incredible spatial ability. They have better control of the driver, higher resolution, and superior spatial ability over the DT 1990 Pro. The T1 Gen 3 is very warm sounding with a large bass shelf so keep that in mind about it...

Lake People G111 MKII so driving the headphones was a non issue, it could've just been the system pairing better with the HD 600 and HD 650.

I only heard the NDH-30 for a relatively short time and haven't tried it on many systems, but I found the HD 600 and HD 650 had a more substantial sound to my ears overall. It wasn't as weaksauce as the HD 560S but not where I wanted it either. I'm perfectly fine with a well-driven HD 600 or HD...

Which Tesla's? The DT 1770/1990 Pro and the T1 Gen 3 feel incredibly solid in the hand and make many of the older Beyers feel cheap. The older Gen 2's have a looser clamp which makes them feel less sturdy and more flimsy especially with a lot of wear. The DT 700/900 Pro X's also feel nicely...

That's why I was a bit underwhelmed with the NDH-30 to a degree, I could notice the HD 560S in it and I am not a fan of how the HD 560S portrays attack and liveliness either. The HD 600 and HD 650 I was able to get nice full dynamics out of nicely, a bit softer but they are capable of nice...

Ah okay so just the headband has some leather on it but the pads are synthetic leather, was hoping they were leather. That's good, hope my pair gets ships this week sometime. Though I think they are officially released in June, so they may not ship till then. Only people that seem to be getting...

True for a lot of cases, but I haven't really touched my T1 Gen 3, love it stock. But for my first Focal going for the more neutrally tuned Azurys so likely will not tinker with them; but if I really like the Azurys in terms of both fit and sound, I'm considering grabbing the Hadenys. Been a...
