what headphones do you own thread - i own dt150's :)

I have a problem!

Added the Drop HD 6XX to my line-up even though I already have the HD 650 :eek:

Can't help myself though. Prefer the colour scheme of the 6XX and had to have them. Although I was thinking it might be worth modding these with the Custom Cans bass mod kit. Love this line as they are so light, comfortable and have that wonderful tonal balance of warm and neutral which really appeals to me. I've realised that nearly all headphones (or headsets) irritate me in some way but these don't. They are also a better gaming headphone then they get credit for.

Apart from the Custom Can Mod, a new cable the next step might be to look at my DAC/AMPs. Possibly a tube amp, R2R upgrade or something.

My current HD 6X0 line-up.

The Arctic cable turned up, although I think they sent me the version with the wrong length connectors for each side lol, they are extra length vs the usual, clearly designed for headphones with recessed 3.5mm sockets so they stick out a bit, though they are a nice fit. I've emailed Arctic see what they do, but for now using as they are. The quality and weight of the cable is excellent and the terminations and plugs are very nice quality too. The whole thing feels like it's worth the asking price, preferred over the Tripowin cable for sure. I opted for the Rhodium connectors by the way.

Edit* Just realised it looks like that they are mono per cup too not stereo? I have not listened to them yet as in the middle of some other work so will demo shortly to confirm.

Edit 2* Arctic said the middle ring/pole being missing is by design as it's not used in this sort of application, tested and yeah all good. The lgnth of the plugs is also by design to cater to the widest majority of headphones, inc those by Mez with deep sockets. As it stands with the extra length, these are about as same as fitment on how they touch my shoulders on these Planars as the Linsoul Tripowin cable.

So all in all nothing really /wrong/ lol.

Excellent quality and craftsmanship here though, to be expected for the price.

Just bought a fiio k11 r2r, for the price i thought it was worth a punt to see if I can see a difference between it and my audiolab dac/amp that I've been using for a decade.
