FiiO FT1 vs Sennheiser HD 650

“Ignore the idiots OP, just because some people got a good set doesn't mean the QC doesn't seem to be shit and there are some people who just can't accept that it's not user error. FT1/FT1 Pro QC just seems to be a hit or miss. I have the same issue as you, got my FT1 a week ago, the screw on the exact same spot is broken for me. I recorded the whole thing, from unboxing it to discovering the right ear cup was loose, then finding the broken screw and the washer in the box. Packaging was solid, the case is amazing, but that nut was broken inside the case. I am waiting for the vendor to look at the whole video and get back to me about a possible replacement, but its Christmas week and I am stuck. It's bad for you though, mine's just a personal splurge and not a gift for someone else.”

“No offense, mate.. but you have both the bass and the treble boosted.. No wonder those boring headphones suddenly sound better. They lack both bass and treble.. and can really use some EQ: [https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?attachments/sennheiser-hd650-measurements-frequency-response-png.101560/](https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?attachments/sennheiser-hd650-measurements-frequency-response-png.101560/) [https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?attachments/sennheiser-hd650-measurements-frequency-response-deviation-from-preference-png.101561/](https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?attachments/sennheiser-hd650-measurements-frequency-response-deviation-from-preference-png.101561/) I have the same amp, and it's an amazing piece of technology, but it doesn't have any magic sauce to improve headphones. What you need is headphones that you actually like.. or an equaliser that lets you play around with the FR of your HD650.”
