Sennheiser HD 700 or HiFiMan HE-560 V2

Hayder_Master · Nov 23, 2018

Dear Headphone geeks,

I am bit confused between those two headphones, now i have hifiman he400i and I want to upgrade, priority use it on my PC I have a creative X sound card playing games and listen to music also have DX90.
So what you think?
HiFiMan HE-560 V2 = $360 now
https://www.amazon.com/🎧HiFiMan-HE-...=UTF8&qid=1542978425&sr=8-23&keywords=hifiman

Sennheiser HD 700 = $390 now
https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-H...42976868&sr=1-21&keywords=senhizer+headphones

Or maybe you advise me with something else at this price range or even a bit more.

Thanks a lot.

The V-Moda Headphone series are generally excellent and well received. Plus they're about $100-150 cheaper.

umm. you haven't even heard what the HE-400i sounds like yet. you need a proper amp and dac. I recommend you don't buy any new headphones. get a magni 3 (and use high gain no matter what, Planar really loves extra wattage) and modi 3 amp/dac $200 total. the he-400i will sound completely different...

i own 7 headphone amps, and over 200 headphones over the last 7 years... i'm not debating here, take my advice or don't, i don't really care.
