How do you like the Noires for rap music? Are the rapper's vocals present or recessed? I needed a closed back so I pulled the trigger on these and should be arriving tomorow. Wanted these for the comfort mostly.

Theres so many...

One song I been listening to for about 25+ years had the Rapper adlibing from a below and center angle that I just picked up on last week when I revisited the song. It was done so well that it felt like it was coming from my mouth in the sound stage. it kinda made me stop breathing normally.

They are a bit smaller than stock pads but very comfortable. i use the perforated lambskin for my HD-58X and the comfort + sound improved for the better in my opinion.

I wanna talk to SamSon

I read this with the voice of Stone Cold Steve Austin narrating it, yeah the weed im smoking is amazing.

Yeah I might get the HD-820, after EQing the HD-8XX i don't think the HD-820 can be as bad as people say after EQing

yeah when the HD-660S were priced higher everyone "hated" them now that they are the same or even less than the 600-650's everyone likes them now.

if it makes you feel better, yes you should.

ZMF lambskin pads didn't add bass but made the sound more impactful for me. sounds the same only more tactile and less smooth.

This is just propraganda

i value the imaging more than sound stage. hd-6 line has decent imaging, I would easily tell where players were in valorant and i was using the HD-58X, id imagine the 660S to be even better.

i tried my 560S in valorant also and didn't like them, but it was probably because I was used to using the 58X for years before and not being accustomed to its presentation.

It's that easy really.

im not sure how much more permanent of a solution ur trying to get. its really simple just put your hands on each cup then grip them and pull them outwards off of your ears/side of head/jaw. then as you have flexed the clasp off of your head proceed to lift the headband off of the top of your scalp in a vertical direction and once they are completely off of your head, you can rest them on a headphone stand provided you have one for them.

not sure how you remove the headphones yourself but i just pull the earcups outwards then lift the phones upwards. thats what i love about these headphones, you can just pull the earcups outwards and it isnt like a stiff molded clasp (if that makes any sense, hard to describe)

The 800 line would be the closest to a planar imo. It's up to you what you want though, more accurate sound (1000se) vs better overall package (parts, support, waranty, mod-ability, quality that lasts decades)

I myself only tried HD-600,HD-58X, HD-800S and HD-8XX.

I feel like HD 6 series is totally different than what a Sundara would present. But HD 8 Series is more "Planar-Like". You might like the 700 or 800 series (pricing aside) if you are after fast and accurate presentation.

I don't have these type of problems with Sennheiser.

because they review as a source of income not as a hobby.

i just ignore it, brain does the rest

hd-800s are like D-shaped, HD700 also

i really want to get a paid of HD700s one day just for gaming

wouldn't be surprised, they buundle sound drivers in their video card drivers for some weird reason so maybe they are thinking about it

Some are even "discontinuing" "lesser models" then coming out with a similar headphone with like 2% increase in performance for 80% more money (Looking at you Focal)

I think they are just testing the waters with this. "Hahaha, lets make it 10 thousand dollars, and see if someone will buy it MuaHAhahAhHAh"

I don't do heavy drugs I only smoke diet weed (cbd) and sometimes this makes the music sound so huge lol. I can't imagine real weed or LSD etc
