After a really long hiatus from headphones, I couldn’t resist getting the 58x. I used to have the HD 800S and the DT1770 but sold it 4 years ago.

My taste have shifted to warmer and mellower signature. So this was perfect. It also has sub bass unlike the 6xx.

I wanted to go back to the hobby years ago, but it got pushed back due to other priorities. Now I’m back to the rabbit hole i guess lol.

Anyway, i’m thinking of running these with the new JDS amp or maybe a tube amp (suggestions are welcome).

    JDS will work it is just a bit clinical. Monoprice Liquid Spark pairs best with it as well as IFi Zen Air Can. Forget tube amps I’ve tested them with this pair and it isn’t good unless the volume is kept loud (they reveal too much vacuum noise). The 58’s are exceptional and a steal at that price.

    Rule 2: Ask purchase and shopping questions in the Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk

    Requests for product opinions, comparisons, and general purchase advice must be made in the dedicated Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk instead of a new post.

    Portable audio related purchase advice may also be asked in r/HeadphoneAdvice but please familiarize yourself with their rules first.

    What questions are considered purchase advice?

    • A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.

    • Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.

    • Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. “should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?”).

    Why does this rule even exist?
