    Been thinking about a pair of headphones for a while now and see these get mentioned alot on AoS.
    I used my HD650 on a Caiman SEG modified and set up for the HD650 for use on 15V. Loud enough for me.

Maybe between the 800S and the 650? Dunno.
    I have the original HD800, and quickly discovered that it needs a lot more current (Ampere) to get the bass moving. So when used on a less than ideal current source (i.e. lousy headphone amp) it's mainly the mids and tops that can then be reproduced. But once the HD800 gets the right kind of signal drive the bass is well and truly adorable, with head shaking low bass.

    For those Sennheiser owners still using the original cables, this might be of interest:

    Might be well worth doing for the 600 series. This article, and a recommendation from CageyH here, prompted me to make up a new cable for my HD-424, and it greatly improved the sound.

    Hope this helps...

    I use 600's with a SEG and can confirm it is a great combo!
