man these have been on my Amazon wishlist for a while, my hd280s just don't cut it anymore

Please just spend a bit more for the 650, you'll never regret it.

[jebeebus]

$300 isn't a "bit more"

who knows though, maybe I'll have more cash when I'm ready to buy some new phonez

thanks for the heads up

the 650 is a completely different headphone, aimed at a completely different market.

your suggestion doesn't make much sense.

you can't just plug in a 650 into any source and expect it to sound good, whereas the 280 is extremely easy to drive. aside from that, comparing open air to closed cans is apples and oranges.

You can find em cheaper in the FSale section of Head-fi.org

^ Obviously, but if you want a bright headphone with sibilance issues, at low impedence, and want to spend more than 150... I don't really know what to tell you. and the 595 he was looking at is open.'

EDIT: I guess I should mention to the guy I recommended the 650's to, if you're balking at spending a little more on the 650's, then you'd probably not like the money you'd end up investing on an amp to get the most out of them.

so you read a few threads on head-fi and now you're a headphone expert?

the hd280 is a well rounded headphone for the $80 pricetag.

and i'm not sure which headphone you're talking about in the rest of that gibberish; sounds like you just chopped up someone's post and copy and pasted random portions of it.

the hd280 is not an overly bright headphone with sq issues, nor is it $150. the 650 doesn't quite fit that criteria either, nor is it low impedence...

[TransparentCranium]

Er, Tofu. I'm not sure you have reading comprehension mastered.

He said he owns the 280, and is thinking of upgrading to the 595.

I suggested the 650.

I never once commented on the 280....

Learn to read. Then we can chat.

[tofu]

so, when you reply to my post comparing 280s and 650s, i am to automatically assume you're talking about 595s?

either way, your suggestion is silly. he's going to take home a pair of 650s and realize they sound like crap because he has no amp to drive them.

if he wants a streamlined upgrade from his hd280s, i'd go with the AT-a900

adequate, but you're going to want something a bit more powerful to drive the hd650s

[TransparentCranium]

+1

But the 650 do not sound TERRIBLE out of a shitty amp. I've listened to them on portable amps and found it lacking but satisfactory.

[jonle714]

noob question: do i need an amp for sr60 or sr80?

[jebeebus]

would that hold true for 595s as well? what kind of amps are we talking to fully drive the 650s?

[TransparentCranium]

^^ No, but they grado will definately sound better out of amps. But it's not as noticable since they are low impedence.

^ The 650's are some of the best scaling headphones on the market. You can go to extremely high end amps and still see improvements.

You guys should just browse a bit on head-fi. It has some good information. But don't just follow blindly without listening yourself. Having phones for e-peen is one thing, but a waste of money if you're not listening for the difference good phones show. (Especially when you're playing 128kb/s mp3s..)

[Egpt]

so, i will assume that you headphone geeks prefer the 666's? i kinda like the design on the 257's but if i could get something similar as limited and special as the 234's it would be golden. to be honest i have the 540's, but they just don't cut it anymore, i will go for the 666's aor the 621's

[jebeebus]

many brands, i assume, have been jumping on the club collar trend, as even j. crew has tried the style out at it's stores, although when i got there they were all on sale. +associate discount = $10
