Extreme V 
don’t know about the set up anyways, 3 dynamic drivers and a 6mm planar not micro planar the tuning will be challenging to say the least.

Not if I use brain burn-in magic 
But, the Soundbrenner ad campaign is one of the very few campaigns that almost worked for me. It bombarded me through all channels, put a large “buy me now” pressure on me! ”User comments” on FB sounded legit too - too legit!
I had a weird feeling about them … and you helped! Also: don’t need an IEM currently…

I dont know where that one’s from, this is the one I’ve seen but they both look a bit strange because they’ve been compressed.
Here it is compared to Harmon but it’s still not great. Might not be bad for monitoring.

To be fair, the $199 HD6XX is pretty much the $500 to $600 HD650 boxed under a Drop collab and is probably the best value open back headphones on the market. The HE-1 is kind of like a Bigfoot sighting. If I ever get a chance, I’ll listen, but just because it’s high end everything doesn’t mean I’m going to save up and get one, or that it’s even the best to our individual ears.
I’m getting a lot of enjoyment out of the new Koss wireless headphones, both the Porta-Pro and the KPH30, but I also got the analog bypass cable for them. I have a little Apos Gremlin tube amp that sounds great with both as well as the HD6XX.

I wish I prefer headphones more but they are not as convenient.

I always get a little p#ssed off when I read about those!
Sennheiser is a f#cking German brand, but you cannot get those in Germany. Why, oh why?
I really wanted one of those, but Sennheiser has no love for its home country. It’s un-European
I had to buy a chinese Sennheiser clone, probably made by children, possibly with spyware built-in, surely it will give me ear cancer!
HD6XX - this is why the economy and world peace in general goes to sh#t

I’m/ was a Magura fanboi, I have a few friends that moved to Germany so it would make sense to buy from Germany, I imagined that it would be much cheaper than buying here, well it’s not. It’s more expensive there than here in SoCal. Of course that was 15 years ago.
The problem with Sennheiser is the packaging, it’s so primitive compared to what the ChiFi is offering, my 800s comes with exactly what you need to get started no more, well an extra cable. Good luck swapping the cable without scratching the headphones. That’s so tight fitting.
Lucky for you the HD8xx is not just a cheap HD800s it’s different tuning altogether for half the price but why?

Same for German cars, WTF?
Though: I once had the “pleasure” of driving a German car when I was on a business trip in Atlanta.
I wanted the most American car that the rental company got - so they gave me a VW Jetta
I loved their sense of humour, so I took it. You gotta know that nobody in Europe likes the Jetta. Never & ever!!! It’s such a sh#tty car! People that drive that car over here always get this pitiful glance…
I expected a German Jetta, which already is an abomination - but I got a sofa on wheels. A car lacking any character. The only thing it had in common with the German Jetta was: it’s also an abomination, possibly worse, but surely absolutely un-american! I felt like McCarthy having to ride a USSR Lada.
It was bad!
The US Jetta is a truly terrible car that VW made for the America market. I’m sure this is Germany’s revenge for loosing WW2

That is because we Germans hate comfort and want to feel the street, so cars for the German market have a much harder suspension.

Hahahaha! I’m gonna quote you on that with my German friends
The thing is: you cannot drive 250km/h with a sofa. The German autobahn demands for cars that lets you race with your @ss!
PS The US jetta is a totally different car. It’s 100% non German - more like one of those bread&butter Toyotas from the 90s/2000s…

Right as usual. Apart from the (according to the internet) 14 million Jetta’s sold.
You can’t sell 14 million of anything, if nobody likes it. F

Percentage-wise this could match the amount of true masochists in Europe

My favorite car of all time is the BMW 635 CSI. Before I moved here from Thailand we took a trip to Europe and rented the 635 and one of the kid took it on the Autobahn and did just that 250km/h. It was so cool.
I drove the M5 that could reconstruct your internal organ in the corners but still not walking away as impressed.

Hahahaha, yeah! Even better is driving an open convertible with speeds over 220km/h!
That said: a few weeks ago I broke my record and drove up to 300km/h (not in a convertible, obviously). The autobahn became like a tunnel, it’s really a strange kind of vision…
Before (!!!) I had to pledge to my girlfriend that my speeding days are over … and I did!
Not so much cause of the danger or cause of pure male stupidity (both true), but because she made it clear to me that I cannot try (and preach) to live sustainable and environmentally friendly - and race like the last idiot on earth.
Of course, she’s right. So now I drive like a granny (or an American :-)), at least in cars. I still have to get used to holding my right foot into this very unusual position…

My wife and 2 daughters is going back to Thailand in a couple of weeks she’s already got her international permit. I said to her can you drive in Bangkok? She learned how to drive here in SoCal. If you have not drive on the street with 3 lanes occupying by 5 cars is lining across with 100 motorcycles whizzing by every second you are not going to be able to drive there, plus they drive on the wrong side of of the road. Good luck

Hahaha! I remember Bangkok - can’t decide what’s “worse”: Bangkok, Paris or Rome.
If she can drive in Bangkok, she can drive anywhere!!!
Maybe up your insurance, just to be sure?
