I recently downloaded Scarlet Fire and listened to it for the first time. It sounded so much better than I remembered because every time I hear it is on this channel and it is always being played through dying earbuds.
I really like the shrieking ring modulated sound lol. The way the modulator frequency is really low during the sustained bits and how it spikes during the upward glides is fun
"This is what they were hearing in the studio, this is how it sounded:" Nah m8, they may have used those headphones to check the mix, but music is and always was primarily mixed on speakers.
I have a very rare pair of planar magnetic headphones that are hand built by some electrical engineer man. They're 11 ohms only... but they need a proper high power desktop amplifier that can push out anywhere from 3-7 volts to drive properly. The headphones are called the Nectar Bee They also have the thickest planar driver ever made since they're custom and it's attached quite loosely specifically to move large amounts of air for bass. They stay completely flat with the bass until about 16-17 Hz. They go down all the way to 5Hz with a roll off. It's crazy, even when you take the headphones off your head, you can still audibly hear the bass these things can produce.
Interestingly the hurdurrs give out the brushes while the Audeze don't. They do have a warm sound indeed, but are a bit tight at the top end. And the K240 are very top heavy. And the K340 make the HD600 almost dull sounding.
Oh how I miss AKG. I wasn't too interested in audio when I first encountered them, but damn even then I could tell they were good. I was borrowing my dad's dirty buds and was surprised by the bass, since my at the time headphones were all top end. My other encounters have been AKG speakers which all sounded phenomenal. I was never able to get my hands on their headphones, sadly. RIP AKG. Closest I have is JBL wireless stinkphones whose aux. chord I abuse
The hifiman he400se is a great example of why ohms are a bad metric when looked at in isolation. They are only 32 ohms, but have a sensitivity of 91 db, and are in the same league as hd600s as far as difficulty to drive
Might need to give Frank some more ways to climb and maybe create a warmer spot where you wanna see her so that she may be more inclined to rest there for warmth :D
I think part of what makes headphones stinky and why those last ones (the AKG K340s) sound better when you have the Fiio plugged in is the amount of current they draw. Turning up the volume increases the voltage supplied, but if the Fiio isn't able to supply as much current as the headphones want, they might not sound as good as they can.
Just got k240's (made in austria ones) today for $16 as untested (they work...) they're sitting next to my hd600s I got a week ago (the new hd600's). Also got Bose nc700's... I got picky with my headphones after binge watching dankpods lol, started from the iPods and then the headphones... It's really hard to go back to any random pair of headphones, once you hear the differences that's the only thing you wanna listen to.
I’m guessing the volume slider on an amp like that is just changing voltage amplitude? It should be doable then to quantitatively define what volume to listen to certain headphones with if given the sensitivity and impedance values. But as someone who uses and has a small collection of IEMs, the high sensitivity and low impedance really gets me. Minimum volume can be too loud at times.
Now I'm confused. My Huh Duh Five Nein Nein's are 50Ω and 106dB SPL and my father's K72 are 32Ω and 112 dB SPL. Although numbers say that the HD599 should need more power, it's the K72 that gets too quiet when I use the same volume on both
Sensitivity is measured at 1khz, so it is also dependent on that as well. If one headphone's frequency response has a boost or dip at 1khz relative, it can affect the Sensitivity rating and maybe not quite represent how it sounds in person
I have a pair of '98 HD600s I run out of my Fiio btr7, but I only need about 30-40 volume, and as far as I know, the btr7 has a way lower power output than the m17 used in this video, am I missing something? Are my HD600s just... weird?
Kinda of topic, but do you mind reviewing AKG-361? I own the pair, and its really good, I prefered it over DT 770s, but I'd like someone to tell me that these head-phonies are good :)
Its not really a test. He's just recording the headphones and playing them back. It's not an accurate representation of how they sound, it's just for fun
So my review: I liked the HD600s but the HD600s did sound a tad clearer. Although the HD600s had more bass, I preferred that more detailed sound from the HD600s.
fun fact: when "comparing" hd600 vs hd600 my ears were so much waiting for something to change in the audio man, at this point it's like they recognize the song and just expect for the sound to be different in every possible way...
I'm so conditioned for there to be a change that my brain started lying to me and going "Nah nah you can hear the difference mate" every time the camera zoomed in...
First hearing the Senheiser HD600 made me think "ah yeah that's not too bad" and then switching back to them after listening to the Audeze felt unreal. What a difference.
Yes but this recording of the HD600 is off. It doesn't sound right and has a weird distortion, akin of white noise. I own the HD600 and can tell you that this track sounds nowhere like what the sample playback in Dank's videos suggests.
@松下 it's because the minidsp ears are actually quite bad as a headphone recorder and measurment rig. It's not like a proper rig which as an ear canal and human like acoustic impedance. The ears are very inaccurate and end up emphasizing frequencies in unnatural ways
@@MacPhantom exactly, I have an HD600 and it’s nothing like this. Sound demos on youtube are not really representative. There is a lot of compression and degradation in quality and it’s kind of stupid anyways. It’s jut for fun. Don’t make decisions based on that ahaha
Dude, you can really tell how passionate and how deep music and audio hits Wade whenever he starts tearing up thinking about AKG's history. What a genuine and sincere creator we have here, he deserves to be where he is.
Headphone power is weirdly complicated. Designing an amp that can handle high and low impedance, high and low sensitivities. Not many are perfect at all these tasks. Good video topic
Because of the videos on this channel, I decided to upgrade my headphones from Arctis 3 to a pair of Senny HD 599. I was hot swapping between the pair with “Walk Through the Park” playing and the difference was almost eye-watering. I had never heard anything sound like that before, I dropped an “oh my God” for how stunned I was. Thanks for directing me into openbacks, Dank. Add-On: for those wondering, they sound amazing. Copped mine for 115 USD and they are stunning to see, brown velour ear pads and headrest with a cream-coloured housing for the electronics.
Pretty good choice, but if you want to get blown away, check out the HD 560S. Yes, the number is lower. And they’re not all that bassy. But man those things are microscopes for music. That was the first time I really noticed there was a difference between high quality Spotify and Apple Lossless. Love them with my BTR5.
Should try the HD600/6XX next, there's a reason Wade uses them for his benchmarks and they've been legendary for a good reason. If the 599s blew your mind, 600s are even better in detail retrieval.
@@jacobrzeszewski6527 The 560s are so damn flat and analytical that they make for great mixing headphones as well. with a good source these really are a hidden gem
its a phenomenally important point in every artist's career when they have developed a style so distinct, that they themselves are finally able to make a joke out of it with the audience. Thanks mate! Keep it up.
Glad to see you touch on this more. Using just the impedance can cause quite a bit of confusion, so it's nice to also mention to look at sensitivity as well.
Also, quick note, HD600 are 103dB/v. They were rated 97dB/mW when that unit was more common, but now, with most headphones being rated by voltage rather than power. So, going by voltage, their sensitivity is 103. (The Sennheiser website says 97db/v, but this is thought to be an error where someone may have updated the unit but not the number. Third-party measurments also come to around 103dB/v)
I'm so used to the audio quality changing on the freakish ears demo track that I was legitimately discomforted when it didn't change for the HD600 showoff
One of the OG units of Hifiman HE-6 was measured at sensitivity of 77db. At the time they required a speaker amp, because there were no good enough headphone amps.
I've watched videos where you have talked about almost all of these headphones already but I could listen to you explain the same thing 1000 times before I get bored of your content. One of the best RUclipsrs I could have ever found.
You can get a bit more power out of the balanced output. I'm not sure if you can fit balanced cables for the AKG K340, but if you can, you might be able to use your DAP with them on batteries only
You've trained my brain to expect the tone and sound of that audio clip to shift every few seconds, it's actually makes the whole clip sound weird to me.
@3:38 the HD600 compared to itself made me realise for the first time that those are NOT how my own headphones sound, so I decided to compare your HD600 recording to the original track played through my headphones. I think in the future you could also include an original snippet of the track for comparison, against the HD600 and the audiences' own headphones :)
I can confirm, although I use some misodiko mesh pads so that changed the sound of it just a little bit. I have a feeling that its the recording of the measurement machines he uses that might cause the diff in sound
This is a hilarious video to me, cause I usually listen to your videos with my roomies on either my phone speaker or a Bluetooth speaker, but today I not only finally watched your video on my main computer, but also on my new headphones (Skullcandy SLYR Pro series cause I had a coupon). So I FINALLY got to truly hear the subtle differences in the headphone comparison portions! Absolutely blew my damn mind and got me cackling so loud I spooked my cat.
I recently got a K340 for myself used for 112 bucks. Thanks for your recommendation Wade! I do have enough power to juice this monster (Topping DX3 Pro+, great headphone amp+dac!), they sound just heavenly!
This will sound insane but since 2012 I have bought 6 K340 phones, 2 1st gen K240 and 4 white passive K240(2 had the orange rings). Once you get that heavy or neutral K340 its unreal how good it is compared to most modern cans. I just got a set of LCD-2 early model ordered so Ill see how modern hifi cans sound. BTW im using a little dot MK3 with Yugo front tubes in the living room and a old Yamaha A32 in my backroom(mainly cuz its where my big speakers are at) and that Yamaha has surprised me for the power hungry cans. Its true they really need power from a speaker amp or a high end headphone amp. Anyway I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I gave 2 of my 240s to friends and its been their daily drivers for years.
the hd600s being tested against the hd600s is the best bit of comedy i've seen all week, keep up the good work dank man!
Better yet, I'm listen to this using my hd600s :-D
Not me reading hd600 as Huh-Duh600 🤣
who won?
It killed me
@@JimmyJoints the hears of course
I recently downloaded Scarlet Fire and listened to it for the first time. It sounded so much better than I remembered because every time I hear it is on this channel and it is always being played through dying earbuds.
It's a nicely produced song for anything in RUclips's audio library.
I really like the shrieking ring modulated sound lol. The way the modulator frequency is really low during the sustained bits and how it spikes during the upward glides is fun
Well use of the spectrum with thick bass but also crispy treble. Not a bad sound to test.
I swear. I SWEAR I hear a difference in the HD600 clips. I don't know how, I don't know why, but they sound different. My brain is broken.
Optical illusion affects audio hearing my freinds oooPoooOoooooooo
"This is what they were hearing in the studio, this is how it sounded:"
Nah m8, they may have used those headphones to check the mix, but music is and always was primarily mixed on speakers.

I almost choked on my udon when the camera kept zooming in on the Sennheisers. Brilliant.
Yes zooming makes a very much difference, as the headphone looks different
First time I've heard those parts of the song with the hundgeos-six-hundeos.
Its glorious.
interesting listening to headphones while wearing headphones
9:38
Yellow Magic Orchestra spotted. A truly distinguished listener of music.
Its bizarre heating the six hungeos being benchmarked through my six hungeos
I found a nice tube pre-amp for my Sennheisers, since the impedance is 300 ohms.
It sounds awesome.
When he just zooms in to the HD600 I lost my sh*t LMAOOOOOOO
Interestingly the hurdurrs give out the brushes while the Audeze don't. They do have a warm sound indeed, but are a bit tight at the top end. And the K240 are very top heavy. And the K340 make the HD600 almost dull sounding.
The dents on the apple logo now make it look like a sad chicken nugget pointing at something. Cool...
yeah its weird not having it change im freaked out
Me having headphones that are very expensive would be a disaster, I break headphones VERY EASILY. I might try it though.
HD600's lack bass....
AKG: Hold my ear cups.
The resistance, or ohms is only half the story, the other factor is efficiency / sensitivity
Oh how I miss AKG. I wasn't too interested in audio when I first encountered them, but damn even then I could tell they were good. I was borrowing my dad's dirty buds and was surprised by the bass, since my at the time headphones were all top end. My other encounters have been AKG speakers which all sounded phenomenal.

Truly sennheiser-ception.
Why is the slowly approaching HD600 so funny?
Might need to give Frank some more ways to climb and maybe create a warmer spot where you wanna see her so that she may be more inclined to rest there for warmth :D
MARCOS VALLE? BRAZIL MENTIONED 🇧🇷
Do a video on the k340. My favorite part is that it has the most destructive pad mounting system ever devised by man

Turning up the volume increases the voltage supplied, but if the Fiio isn't able to supply as much current as the headphones want, they might not sound as good as they can.
With such impedance the amplifier is voltage limited for sure.
Measure the current.
The aiaiai tma-2 are rated 32 ohms but are very quiet without an amp
We need a video talking just about the hd 600
wait
you mean Frank consumes a lot of power?
Hearing the hd600s without other headphones feels so wrong.
The hd600s are coming for your ears
I’m gonna guess the stinkiest are the stax
3:45 is my best part of the video
I wonder how stinky the staxs are since they need their own amp and stuff
Groovy baby !!! 👍

There's also DT 880 Pro 600 Ohm
maybe you should look at a fiio r7, it has a bit of everything and more from a dac/amp
I’m guessing the volume slider on an amp like that is just changing voltage amplitude? It should be doable then to quantitatively define what volume to listen to certain headphones with if given the sensitivity and impedance values.

when your playing the jazz music to compare headphones is that you on the drums???????
Ah dankpods. So much mis and non information.
i want to see the hd600 vs the mp3
Wait, what about the Stax? Were those disqualified because they were TOO stinky?
Build your snake an giant big honkin cabinent and then she crams herself i in the tiniest corner aaaa

They are good. Tbh k361 and k371 are some of the best sounding closed backs up to around $400 in my opinion
Can someone explain what the tests are showing when he has the headphones over the drum, I'm new to this stuff and am lost lol
Its not really a test. He's just recording the headphones and playing them back. It's not an accurate representation of how they sound, it's just for fun
What abou the opposite? Which are the easiest to drive?
The slow zoom on the sennys every 2 measures made me giggle uncontrollably, keep winning wade 😂
Came down here to say the same thing. Good on ya mate!
technically every 4 measures, but indeed fun
this really improved my mood. 10/10 joke
I laughed out loud after that first zoom in.
Kinda gave me anxiety ngl xD
3:53 damn that lack of sound change is disturbing. So used to a different sound every time that i am startled by it!
im not the only one like it just sounds wrong for the song to not change in quality
it feels so off lmao
Hearing the full track with no change has made the huhduh six hunjohs a lot more intimidating
Agreed, what an epic battle that was
/s
"We ARE the reference, you need know no other"
It was strangely unsettling hearing NO change.
It feels like there should be a change lol
they’re approaching
So my review:
I liked the HD600s but the HD600s did sound a tad clearer. Although the HD600s had more bass, I preferred that more detailed sound from the HD600s.
How *THE HELL* can you tell the difference between an HD600 and a HD600!?
Are you a robot or something?? 🤔
Overall, the HD600s have strong bass, and they're balanced with very clear treble.
7.8/10 too much mids
