Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX | Top Rated Open-Back Headphones | Drop

Our all-time best selling open-back audiophile headphones, the Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX is a replacement to the original HD 650 with a refreshed aesthetic & improved utility.

drop.com

those are good headphones, heard those myself a few times. really recommend you get an amp if you don't have one, it will bring it to life. if you don't already own a amp I would recommend a OTL tube amp if you can find one cheap, if not than just get a budget amp somewhere.

Jism · Oct 11, 2023

a 5800X3d, and a LG 144Hz screen, as a upgrade coming from a 2700x with 64GB of ram and a 6700xt.

The 6XX are good, i just can't stop using my B&W P7's though, best headphones i have had. I do have a tube amp for them too.

Now I only need 1l of sealant and a booster

well 500ml sealant would be enough ... MTB require 60ml per tyres and last 2 to 7months

so, online retailer only has STAN'S Notubes and Schwalbe ... the Schwalbe is the better bundle as it offer a 60ml bottle (well it's cheaper than syringe bundles :laugh:

) and a valve core remover (which i already had one ... but that one is nicer ) uh... wait? ahahah the Schwalbe product is actually made by STAN'S Notubes :laugh:

same bottle also, tho the fact that Schwalbe has a full bundle opposed to needing to get them separately for STAN'S make the later kinda uninteresting (and not even to re buy a 500ml bottle later ... STAN'S sealant is actually pricier than Schwalbe full bundle :laugh:

2.35chf more and actually 27ml less content ) it will be less messy than pouring the sealant directly in the tyres before seating them

booster/burst tank ... damn that's one thick bottle, handy little chart with value for 11 and 14 bar,
the other booster from Milkit was actually an aluminium drink bottle with an adapter (which is proven to work ofc) but that one ... damn heavy duty :rockout:

i might need a floor pump ... the little one can push "only" up to 10.3 bar :laugh:

although i can set it to 160 psi which equall 11 bar

oh, well will try as it is, and make the extra purchase only if necessary

next day off will be busy :laugh:

and last but not least ....

after noticing it was in stock and that the GPi Case original was compatible with it ...
LET'S F'ING GO!

well too bad they did not made a mistake and sent me 2 of them :laugh:

because when i ordered the GPi case kit they sent me 2 Rpi Zero W, the Zero 2 W will replace the one in the "cartridge"

ohhhh i like the SOC upgrade ... yummy

the only difference i see aside the SOC, shielding on the antena and the component placement, is that

I mean, they got mine to Poland in one piece so I guess you're ok.

My G6 has no problem driving them at low impedance setting. And I drive my X2's at 20% vol and with 6xx I have to keep them at around 35%.

And yeah, I used to drive X2's at 20% with onboard Realtek.

FoulOnWhite · Oct 12, 2023

This is my tube headphone amp, not expensive, but sounds ok.

I'm back! The headset is here and well. It's impressive. Going from the Oculus Go to the Pimax Crystal is like going from a GT 1030 to an RTX 4090.

Getting it set up was a breeze and I haven't had any dealbreakers so far. The only issue has been some audio defaulting and that's about it.

Currently, I have only gotten to play sim and sitting games. I'm still waiting on the Lighthouse faceplate to play room VR. Overall, it's almost a monitor replacement with how sharp it is.

It does weigh a KG but my neck so far has been staying strong.
I've posted the photos below as again, sucky laptop. :fear:

i bought 8GB extra for my i5-2400.
Costs: €15

The only thing it needs is a SSD. The harddrive is almost at it's end. I hear a clicking sound, like a relais from the HDD.

64GB... Wish me luck.

Also, if anyone is still on a DDR4 platform and needs/wants a lot of RAM, this kit is down to $150 from $450 (lol) MSRP at MicroCenter.

Should be fine since it's only 2x DIMMs, I'd think.
My neighbor went ahead and filled up all 4x of his for 48GB (5800X3D too) but wound up having to drop the MHz down to 3466.

48G is not possible on DDR4, though. Either 32 or 64 there (or mismatching sizes, 2x16 + 2x8).

^ Yea he had a 16GB kit then got a 32GB one.
He likes to just go do things and consult me after the fact.

wNotyarD · Oct 13, 2023

Got some stuff arriving today:

1st: some NVMe drives, 2T for my desktop and 1T for my laptop

2nd: a refurb New 3DS XL (and a case for it)

I thought so too, but I saw a guy at OCN using a 240 I think it was. I know TR is trying to get their stuff out into the market to build their name up again, probably why their stuff is so cheap right now.

I've seen that Thermalright is starting on the PSU business with unbelievable price-for-watt. Now only if anyone could review them...
