Thanks lengcm, I think I'm pretty set on the oehlbach cables. They are the cheapest around and according to you quite the bamg for the buck too. Evil-zen, I tried both phones out before and found them to be the same. Even the tec specs are the same. So I gather anywayz. Just to be safe I'll change my thread to MS2s to avoid confusion.

lengcm I'm convinced man.....goin for the replacement cables.......woo hoo!!

just wondering if the oehlbach cable tightens up the bass in the HD600 at all and also if the cable sweetens the HD600's high end? Thanks!

Well I had the pleasure of tedting out the 880s today. I thought that the bass is simply awesome in these bad boys. Never heard anything like it, especially not in my Grados. However, I did feel that the highs and mids were a teeny bit tamed for my liking. There was not much detail too, relative to the HD600s and the SR325s. Soundstage is wide and deep. I liked one think about these cans though, they sure are comfy. Just my 2 cents on it, not sure what the general consensus on these phones is. Thanks for lookin'

Rameish, thanks for the tip. I felt that the RA-1 was more than adequate to amplify my phones. The sound coming out of it seems more neutral than my other limited experiences with other amps. N@Z appreciate your input as well, i will try the "ugly" yellow pads and see how they sound. By the way anyone has any experience with the oehlbach replacement cable?

Howdy comrades!! Just picked up my first pair of Senns so I thought I'd share my opinions with u guys! This is my first thread so bear with me please. Firstly here's my setup: Source: Sony DEJ2000 Audio Interconnect: Onix "Blue" Cable Headphone Amplifier: Grado RA - 1 (this is not the best there is but it sure is a great buy) Headphones: Sennheiser HD600 w/ stock cable, Allesandro M2 The HD600 is a very nice headphone. Extremely pleasant to the ear. The highs are a little more tame as compared to the M2s. Bass is a lot better too, I can actually feel the punch as opposed to the M2s. Another thing about the 600s is that there is a greater seperation of details in the music. It is not as "in your face" as the Grados. The sound out of these Senns are much more laidback in contrast to the Grados which makes some recordings a little "boring" (e.g. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue). However I'm listening to Thelonious Monk - Live at the "IT" Club right now and all I can say is that the 600s bring a whole new dimension to my CD. I can hear the different instruments so clearly and the detailed sound from the audience is simply out of this world. But I do admit that the Senns have a much wider soundstage comparing to the Grados (which I am still trying to get used to). Grados have a much more detailed sound which the Senns (no offense to die hard senn fans!), maybe because their phones are relatively brighter (trying to correct these with Flat pads that are on their way). It makes the user feel so much closer to the musician, its unreal. Having said that, the Grados have a much narrower sound stage which makes sound seperation harder for the listener and may give some ppl a headache. After comparing both these phones, I still cannot pick my favourite. The bass is nice and tight on the Grados but not quite enough punch(the Senns have nice BASS! unfortunately not quite as tight). The highs are a little too tamed on the Senns but at least not overbearing (in certain recordings) like the Grados. I have been using Grados for too long now, but after continuous listening to my Senns I am starting to lean towards these babies. I have a feeling the flat pads will correct the bright nature of my M2s coz when i squeeze my phones against my head when Im listening to it, it takes the brighness down significantly. As for the 600s, more burn in and new cables should tighten up the bass and brighten these up a notch. Anywayz Im extremely happy with both phones they both have the own unique character and I would reccommend either of these phones to any undecided buyers out there. One thing's for sure the Senns sure are a heck a lot more comfy that the Grados! Well that's a wrap, thanks for bearing with me. I sure would appreciate comments and/or criticisms on my amateur reviewing skills and/or the headphones. And for other Newbies wanting to burn a hole in their wallet, hope that helped you out. P.S. One more thing, any recommendations for a head-amp and new cables for the 600? Please share.

its about sg$200 dunno if i should get it......any opinions??

I just picked up a pair of ONIX "Blue" Interconnects. These monsters are really well made. They sound really good on Jazz music, and for classical, it really centers the music, u dun feel like the music is all over the place. Gives a good tight bass too. Well juz my 2 cents on the cable. Retails for about SG$130.

yea pretty kewl huh!!.....thinking of getting one my self.....dun know if itz any good...

Saw a USB DAC thatz made in Taiwan, thought u guys might be interested. Anywayz here's the website (http://www.keces.com.tw/%7Ekorping/products/audio/K0305001/K0305001.htm), its in Chinese, so u guys who never paid any attention during Chinese class, beware!! Hope that helped.

Here's a pic of my Allessandro M2s. Mod edit: I hope you don't mind I resized you image to make it more forum friendly (<100kb). IMG_1026_1_

Well I recommend the Sony DEJ2000 Discman....it doesn't haf all that new features, MP3s and whatnots, but it produces a great sound and it can drive a headphone pretty damn good. I used a Grado SR80 with those and it sounded great. As for portable headphones, the only ones I use are Grados and they are great!! May wanna consider spending extra money on one of those. The SR80s easily beat a pair of $500 speakers. Hope that helped.
