ty. I see it’s possible to change the bass amount depending on how you put the ear tip on. have you tried that, if so what’s your experience

As an avid fan of moondrop from owning an Aria, Quarks and Sparks I adore the different colors of Sparks but I misplaced / lost my charging case and I own a pink one so I'm kinda stuck with just staring at my pair and not being able to use them.

If you own a sparks wouldn't you love moondrop to re-release purple and pink variants in the future? Let's start a conversation below.

I like to use the same headphones for everything and I'm too inexperienced to even begin playing with the 10+ bands there are in EQ even with oratory's harman curve as a starting point.

I am a total slut for my Zen Can's x-bass though if that counts

Hello all, I recently discovered these headphones and instantly fell in love. I was wondering if they are worth trying to find to own? I am not a collector, I would be using these regularly for music, mixing, and gaming. I just wondered if it would be worth the effort of hunting a good pair down?

Speaking from experience, the HD600 scales up really well. The better the amp and DAC, the better the sound. With my pair, I toggle between a Levinson integrated and a Sony headphone/DAC amp. With good lossless source material, yowsa! For the phones themselves, you can try different pads and/or upgrade the cables to balanced. I’m not an EQ guy, but I’ve never been disappointed with these great phones. I have others as well, but I always enjoy the HD600.

the ie200 has an excellent price to performance ratio. i can't say anything about the ie600 because i haven't listened to it. maybe somebody else that has both can help you. there's a mini review on GizAudio comparing the two, maybe it can help you form a decision. good luck!

edit: spelling
