No HD 800 is overpriced. Get like Some Ether Flow Cs, or HE 1000s

It is overpriced but it's better by like a little bit.

No, not really. HD598 sounds like 558 and 518, very much considered low/mid fi.

 

HD600 can be considered hi-fi, though many now consider it mid-fi.

 

I have not heard the HD600, but I have the H650, very much better than 598's I tried at a store.

Yeah that is a good setup, but he will need to get a DAC and AMP to run HD 6XXs. 300 ohm headphones cannot be run well off of onboard sound.

nice mic like At2020

For Volcal mics I kinda don't like the At2020 as it kind of adds unnecessary warmth to the mid.I would reccomed a 57/58

You can run them off the audio interface that you have to plug the MIC in

600s have a much closer sound stage than the 650s. A lot of people would say that the 600s sound more like a closed headphones, whiles the 650s/6XX sounds more like a traditional open headphone

No the 2i2 doesn't have the power to push HD 6XXs. I was just watching a review of the 2i2 30min ago because someone recommended it to me as a DAC and the guy had HD 600s, and the thing doesn't have the power to run them

I use my LCD-2s for just about anything. Rather nice.

They are up there. 300ohm is harder to push than you'd think. But still, the 2i2 isn't powerful enough
