they’re very good for competitive gaming

I prefer the look of the newer version but I still prefer the marble ones because they’re more comfortable. The newer ones have a more limited cup-tilt angle so they feel ergonomically worse (most of the clamping is above the ears, unless you have a larger-than-average head so you naturally extend the headband more) and that also tends to create creaking which is annoying. The marble version didn’t have this issue.

Sound-wise, the only difference is in the pads and unit variation. So technically, the marble version sounded smoother because the original (or rather the 2nd version) pads were better, but anyone who got them with older revision pads would already have to change the pads anyway so it’s irrelevant.

No idea. I can give you my impressions when they arrive.

I don’t have them yet. I just bought them both on BF. Still waiting for them.

Just buy them both like me 😄

Posts like this make me feel good. I feel like when I was a kid and we were comparing what toys we got on Christmas 😄

Anyway, I got myself GL2000 (loving them so far), Moonlight (still waiting), Hexa (still waiting), Zero Red (still waiting), and Tin T3 (still waiting).

660S2, Avantone Planar the II, LCD-2C, AD2000X, AD1000X, QCY T5, Truthear Hola, NDH30, Thieaudio Ghost, Salnotes Zero, Deva Pro, LCD-GX, GL2000 (haven’t arrived yet), and SJY Moonlight (haven’t arrived yet).

There is no headphone that satisfied me fully. No headphone is perfect. There is always some weakness.

This is the 1.4m version. It’s discontinued afaik. It’s IMO the worst because there aren’t any grooves so it’s the hardest to plug and unplug and IMO also too short.

You can buy directly from Sennheiser. Unfortunately, they don’t sell the original 1.8m version from 58X/6XX or 660S2. Only the 3m version from HD650 or HD600. Or you may contact them and ask if you want the 1.8m version.
