You might be one of those people who don't like the laid-back style of the Senn' HD 6xx. To your ears, they seem too "soft", isn't it? Try and get your hands on a higher-end-ish Grado and see how you like it. In fact, many of the high-end phones should be a bit more "forward" than Sennheiser. But don't just sell the 650 immediately. Wait a bit, you may end up keeping both. That's what happened to me, even though I went the opposite way. And indeed, for splicing tracks and stuff like that, I find the Grado more helpful sometimes. But then I switch to the sampler, hit a chord with an aggressive, buzzy synthesizer patch, and all of a sudden it feels like I'm chewing glass. Oh, right, I was listening through the Grado. :-/ Your experience might be different. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
