blargh. had a reply written out and accidentally closed the browser...

so yeah, I found a few measurements on the MDR-EX800ST / 7550 here: http://rinchoi.blogspot.ca/2012/11/sony-mdr-7550.html
but got no idea about his measurements, if they're reliable. distortion looks good... FR looks weird, he uses a very different compensation it seems.
are these at all sibilant? I read so in a few threads over at that place... but doesn't appear to be very so? more than ER4?


Take my opinion for what it's worth, since I don't have a lot of experience with other IEMs, but to me it doesn't sound sibilant at all. Song not sibilant will stay that way, and sibilant song will not get worse with it. out of all the gear I have, it's one of the best I have and most loved for me. Can't help with any comparisons unless it's against the FXT90 though. :P

OT I should get hte EX1000 cable for spares, but it's too damn expensive.  :'(

Any of you have experience with the DA100 dac? How does it stack up to the Gamma2, and dac's like Rega, Dacmagic, Arcam? Any impressions are most welcome.

Are the JVC RX700/RX900 or the Panasonic HT600 any good as budget desktop cans? Stuff like Youtube, gaming, etc. I just want over-ear closed cans that are around $50 for no-frills listening on the desktop.

I'm going to buy a Hd650 or Hd600. I'm selling my old hd650 (its really old and scruffy). Des anybody now if it is true that the new hd650 is less laidback, and how it would compare to the Hd600? I know visually you can see at the back of the driver if its the old or new one (black or white cover material).

It is true! I have compared them side by side even swapping pads the new 650 with older pads sound less veiled vs the old one.

Hi, thats great news. Is the HD600 changed at all. How would you say the new HD650 compares to the HD600?

The new hd600 still has less bass than the hd650 but it sounds more snappy and dynamic due to the fact that it is not suffocated by the additional midbass.

Lets put it this way, If you loved the bass of your old 650 and just want a little more low treble/upper midrange bite, just get the new 650. If you want a slightly more open and snappy sound without losing the smoothness, go for the 600

Yes that helps! I will get the HD650 in that case, I think it will work better with the music I listen. Thanks a lot donunus!
