Sennheiser HD 6XX vs Sennheiser HD58X

In fact, I'm so happy with the quality of the sound (which blows away my next nicest pair) that I'm already looking forward to finding something new. My setup is simple: Schiit Stack (Magni 3+ & Modi). I currently own: Audio Technica M50x (my first baby), Sennheiser HD 6XX, and the DT 1990s.

Recently I had a Schiit Heresy and Modi 3 with Sennheiser HD58X. I liked that setup, but wanted to experience more stuff with better quality. Headphones:.

So if you've got a really big head like that, it'll, it'll actually still work for you. Now these do clamp on your head pretty tight. I'm a huge fan o...

Overall though what I found was that the 4XX kind of was a little bit in no-man's land between the two. It didn't have the impact and bass of the DT88...

I'm new to audiophile gear too and I was looking for an headphone with a relatively neutral sound, not fatiguing to wear and listen to, and not needing a dedicated amp. The Sennheiser HD58X are just 129$ now, with a 10$ discount if it's your first order on Drop. I will order them, because even considering shipping to Italy and possible import fees, they are cheaper than the alternatives.

They really shine with audiobooks, studying/focus, and shows/movies. I usually prefer wired headphones like Sennheiser 6XX for music but for noise cancellation and the rich bass, these make an excellent wireless bluetooth option!! Focus/study will be improved for sure wearing them. No issues with any genres I can tell, better than most Bluetooth cans out there.

Maybe some of the Phillips options (x2hr, shp9600), or you can find used sennheiser hd58x for about the same $120-$130. You can also find used sennheiser HD560s under $150, but those aren’t always as good for fun listening, and one of the best openback budget options is the hifiman he400se or he-x4, but those require at least a portable amp to actually sound good, and sometimes just to get loud enough. I’d only get the BTR5 if just having Bluetooth is really important to you. Also note that iPhone don’t support any of the higher res Bluetooth codecs, so you are generally just buying it for the Bluetooth convenience at this point

Decided noise cancellation was only nice on an airplane, and I preferred wired, donl't have to turn on or charge. If you have eyeglasses or hearing aides like I do, these are perfact. Yes I have expensive Sony noise canceling blue tooth, but the HD5XX are just in a different class, use all day, gaming, general listening. Plugged directly into Gigabyte Z690 Master mobo, no need for a DAC/amp here

Sennheiser HD58X if you can go a little over budget. [Drop.com](https://Drop.com) usually offers a $10 off coupon for first time buyers when you register
