Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Besides I doubt yours has a battery life of 60 hrs like mine

I think it’s 30. I’ve charged them once in the two months I’ve had them.

Not doing much listening then, eh? Only one charge in two months?

New headphone setup in the house.

Driving the family a little crazy with the music being on all day, everyday, as I work from home. Another headphone setup it is.

Picked up a pair of Sennheiser HD660S2’s and a HDVA 600 to pair it with. I’m running XLR out of my Luxman D-03x to the 600 and using a balanced cable to the 660S2’s.

Straight out of the boxes, all sounds fantastic.

I’ve been eyeing those 660s2 for a while. I saw some good sales on them but was able to resist. I really don’t need anymore headphones.

Do you have any thoughts on the 660s2 vs the 660s, 650/6xx or 600?

Also, that amp…very nice.

If you were to spend say $200 on IEMs and a dongle DAC where would you go?

Sending out the @Mather signal. Although he’s likely to tell you to spend moar.

 

[TrainFan73]

I’m more likely to tell you to double your budget and buy a nice set of wireless headphones.

The ifi go link has been getting good press at €60 here. No sure on IEM’s though, me and they don’t mix well…

He will suggest an aftermarket cable to connect the DAC to the IEMs that is more than $200

They either hurt my ears or fall out all the time. There seems to be no middle ground.

Wings are the key to keeping them in your ears. I have very sensitive skin and my ears are the worst of it.

Apple dongle DACs are pretty good and up to the task for many IEMs. I own an Earmen Eagle that’s in the $100 range. It’s a solid device. I use it with Meze 99 and 109 Pro and BeyerDynamic DT177X.

As for IEMs, I have a set of Moondrop Arias. They sound very good, fit is OK, but I don’t use them that much.
