Hi FULLAUDIO
Thanks for the impressions. I am a reasonably long-time owner of all 3
headphones DT880 (mine are 600ohm), K701, and HD600. I would encourage you
(rather than quickly swapping the headphones) to actually spend a day with
each - and then see if your ideas on the sound of each actually change.
You may find that after spending longer time with a headphone like the HD600
, and only the HD600 - then switching to the Beyer or AKG - that you will
then change your mind on which is most balanced. Instead of the HD600 being
overly warm and lacking energy - you may find that they Beyers / AKGs
instead sound overly bright. It's an interesting exercise. Our brains
adjust to what they are used to - then compare other sounds to that base.
As the base changes - so do our impressions of a particular headphone.
Anyway - it's a good idea for a thread - I'll also throw in my quick
impressions of all 3. My set-up is Foobar (PC) > optical out to an Audio-gd
NFB-12, then either direct to the headphones or via my LD MKIV (the amp
doesn't change the contrast, nor my impression of each).
DT880.
Quite flat - but with elevated high-end. Bass extends pretty well and is
nicely defined. Mids appear slightly further back in the spectrum -
particularly compared to the highs. For me - it is the most detailed (like
shining a spotlight on the music). Has the smallest sound-stage of the 3 -
but still great for almost any genre. Very, very comfortable. Definitely
brighter than 'normal' sound.
K701
Again reasonably flat response - but with more emphasis on mid-range and
highs. Bass is recessed compared to mid-range and highs - but what is there
is well defined, and IMO sounds really good. Definitely the most bass-
light of the 3. Does a beautiful job of the mid-range - particularly
acoustic and stringed instruments in general. Widest soundstage of the 3 -
by quite a margin. Imaging is OK - sometimes struggles with center stage (
not sure if that is particular recordings though). Handles fast paced music
pretty well. Appears very detailed - but IMO the Beyer shows more actual
detail in comparison. Comfort because of the bumps in the headband is not
great. Because of this, I removed the bumps, added a small layer of foam,
and then finished it with a soft lamb-skin leather layer. It is now
extremely comfortable.
HD600
Whilst I wouldn't call it exactly flat - I would say it gives (to my ears)
the most natural presentation of the three. It is the most life-like and
has really good resolution and timbre. Sound stage is close to the Beyers (
marginally larger), but the imaging is better than both to me. Has a little
mid-bass bump, and gives the impression of slightly forward mids. Appears
slower than both the Beyer and AKG. Appearance of less detail is often
misleading - the detail is all there - it just doesn't have a spotlight
shone on it like the others. Comfort is pretty good - although a bit clampy
at times. Over time they have become more comfortable for me - and sit
between the Beyer and my (now modified) AKG.
Of the three headphones - with a good (well recorded) live performance - all
three headphones sound superb - but the HD600 is the only one (if I close
my eyes) that can actually give me the feeling that I am actually sitting in
the audience - their tone, timbre and imaging really is superb.
Short summary (just my view):
Bass (quantity) - HD600 > DT880 > K701
Bass (quality) - DT880 > HD600 = K701 (just different presentation between
the Senn and AKG)
Mid-range - HD600 > K701 > DT880
Highs (quantity) - DT880 > K701 > HD600
Sound-stage (size) - K701 > HD600 > DT880
Imaging - HD600 > DT880 =/> K701 (tough to call depends on recording)
Naturalness - HD600 >>>> K701 > DT880
Comfort - DT880 > HD600 > K701
I love all 3 headphones, and I probably spend equal time with each - depends
on my mood. They are all stellar performers for their price. |
