did some what I found really useful headphone comparisons at the tivoli gtg last night. they had the HD800 and HD 700 hooked upto the hdvd800 dac/amp and the HD650 and HD 600 hooked unto the HDVA600 amp. sources were digital. listening to fleetwood mac rumours which is a nice punchy track with good detail vocals etc. the contrast between these headphones was ready apparent. and in some cases re enforcing my previous experience with these. I've owned the hd800 and HD650 before and own currently the hd580s which in all terms is similar to the hd600 first up some back to back comparisons between the hd800 and the hd700. both are very comfortable to wear, light and neither clamping excessively or tiring to wear. In sound I found the hd800 a very smooth easy listen, though to my surprise the hd700 was more punchy and dynamic /richer sounding. next up listening to the hd650 and hd600, this time with the hdva600 amp and wasn't surprised with what I found here, the hd650 the punchier sounding harder hitting vs the smoother sounding hd600. For me while have heard some headphones in isolation and owned say either one time, first time have had the chance to hear the hd700 and first time to be able to hear all these headphones back to back in the one system. the surprise for me was the hd700. its got the hd650s sound but without the head clamp the 650 has. and reminder for me again the hd800s are more in line of sound to the hd600. definitely pretty thankful for tivoli and sennheiser for setting up the comparison all in the one spot. definitely was an excellent means to evaluate them. as an aside they also had a couple of stax electrostatic systems there for listening too. while with different music, they were a very nice listen too. more laid back, relaxing kind of listen. a very lush sound, have owned some stax years and years back and can understand too their appeal. these had a retail of $3.5k for one and about $7k for other so some serious headphones but pretty nice too anyone else got a chance to listen to these as well ?

Here's a pic showing the difference for anyone interested, I'm not sure whether the actual copper is larger diameter or not (anyone keen to lop the ends off and look?)

Item: Sennheiser HD600 Location: Drummoyne Inner West Sydney Price: 300 o.n.o Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: I have way too many headphones and don't listen to it often Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal gift, COD Only Extra Info: Selling my Sennheiser HD600 headphones, purchased about 3 years ago and has been a very consistent performer amongst my 15 or so headphones i own. Very neutral sounding and scales excellently well with higher gear. I fed it my Vali 2 and it sings, can imagine what it does with higher end tubes/amps. Comes with original packaging plus a shorter cable with a 3.5mm end. Would prefer local pick up but willing to listen to offers re: shipping. Pictures:

Item: Sennheiser HD600 Location: Strathfield Price: $250 Item Condition: Used but great Reason for selling: Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Pictures:

Further information: Used as daily driver for a year, no da mage just well used. Extra images available and they still sound great. Bought second hand so seller ended up giving me his cardas cable instead of the original one. Any further questions feel free to ask. Plenty of prior sales and references so feel free to ask about that as well.

Further information: It's pre-2019 version (I call it Marble ver). Purchased in July 2019 from A2A (RRP $448), still in warranty for around 1 year. The condition is mint, no scratch or dent. Listened for around 100-150 hours. Also got Dekoni Elite earpads (RRP $115) from A2A in June this year, so it's still quite new. I throw in a 2m customised 4-pin XLR cable (RRP $50) with gotham cable and Neutrik connector. Hence, original price for this combo is about $610. Comes with original box and accessories. I prefer to sell them as a whole. IMO, HD600 is one of the most popular and classical model at this price range. The balanced cable is made of gotham high purity OFC wire and 4-pin Neutrik connector.

Item: Sennheiser HD600 headphones Location: Sydney Price: $265 postage inclusive AU wide Item Condition: almost mint, I cannot see any damages, maximum 20 hours head time Reason for selling: Not being used Payment Method: Paypal, Cash on pickup Extra Info: The funny thing was, yesterday when I almost finished this FS thread, my browser crashed during attaching photos. When came back to the Classfield I found HD650 and HD800 were leading the threads. So I decided to postpone a day. I bought this pair in early 2013 brand new. Comes with stock cable and all the original packaging. For the types of music I listen to, I prefer Grado, Shure and B&W sounds, so the Senns didn't get much of use. Photos:

Item:headphone amp Price Range: 300 to 500'ish Item Condition: New or Used Extra Info: I'm looking for an amp to drive sennheiser hd 600s. Currently using the headphone stage on a Cambridge dac magic plus, looking for a substantial upgrade. Things that interest me are mostly tube amps - bottlehead crack, la figaro, may be a schiit lyr... but I'm also open to suggestions, even something solid state if the match is right. I'm not looking for a dac/amp combo, as I'm happy with my dac stage. Price range can be elastic but I love a bargain
