.......why on earth would such a thing make a proper electronic connection?
I assume you would be running two cables in this scenario, like with AntLion.
The 'dummy' female fitting (bracket that is 3d printed?) should just be at the right place, then it will work.
Very good pairing. I’ve spent the week with the 600 vs 650 on the R2R11 and the Deckard. Although I certainly see (hear) why the 600 gets the critical acclaim it does, and why there is such a love-hate relationship between users of the 2 headphones, I prefer the 650, even if only marginally. I really enjoyed my time with the 600 though, and when the time is right I’d like to have one on hand.
The only thing that will be live on the speaker end will be the ground. The left and right channels will have nothing going through them, so it does not matter. It does not need to terminate, as the only cables that we care about at that point is already terminated at the microphone.
So difficult to put their differences into words. You did the right thing to A/B test them over a period of time. I'm glad you came to the conclusion that you prefer your HD650...
. May be able to print a suitable hole in the bracket though with a snug fit eliminating need for female receiver. And keeping things more compact.
The 600 is more clinical, which may come across to some as a "thinner" sound. I don't agree with some naysayers about the 600 lacking in the bass department.I think it is just right, and sits very well in the mix if you prefer a neutral signature. The 600 presents more treble detail, but on my AB'ing it was not worlds apart. I prefer the laid back sound of the 650 with its elevated bass and rolled off highs. Maybe the Deckard played a role, as it seems to do wonders with both bass and treble.So difficult to put their differences into words. You did the right thing to A/B test them over a period of time.

But don't lie, you kind of want a HD600 now as well. For those days you get tired of the HD800S.
Fair thoughts!
Will whatsapp you. If you want it, you can take it and pay me end May.
That Vulcan is mine!
Very interesting... Been suspecting a rebrand though, considering they are nothing what they once were.

Sitting with the SHP9500s now. Interesting situation. They actually have a very similar sound signature to the GSP600s in terms of where the emphasis lies. They obviously have a wider soundstage and more "airy" being an open set. Bass is actually much better than I expected. Neither headphone is meant for a deep rumble but thought the GSP would be miles ahead here. Bit more "sizzle" to the high end and recessed a fraction here compared to GSP600 (which is a good thing) but definitely has more sibilance.
In gaming the SHP seems to have a more washed out sound especially when it comes to gunshots. At least with early testing imaging seems about the same in gaming, I can easily tell direction with either headphone but I think perhaps when it comes to separation and judging of distance the SHP does better due to it's open design. I will have to do much more testing though but at this stage the GSP seems like the more immersive option, it really does sound great in games. In terms of overall music sound quality I don't think I could pick a winner yet they're just...different. This was all done on the uDSD so I may have to check things out with the onboard sound for those looking at these as a budget all-rounder.
As for build quality on the SHPs, they seem well enough made but don't hold a candle to the Sennheisers. Comfort wise the SHPs are nice and light with very little clamping force. Add the decent headband and they can definitely be worn indefinitely. The ear pads aren't great though, they aren't very deep so my left ear touches slightly on the driver which is a mild annoyance. The pad material certainly isn't very luxurious either, then again I am coming from the amazing ear pads that the GSP has. I reckon an earpad upgrade on these would be a nice touch. Overall they definitely sound very good to someone busy putting his toe into the rabbit hole considering their price. I am sure for someone looking at something cheaper for gaming and music these would work well, certainly FAAAAR better for music than something like a Corsair Void that costs about the same. Bit unfair of me using a pair of Sennheiser gaming headsets for a comparison.
Not sure if they will improve/change as they burn in (If that's even a real thing). Anyway I will listen to them for a long stint before drawing further conclusions. Have to say though once the 6XXs arrive these may become a bit redundant and I may just sell them unless they turn out to give me an edge in gaming. But seeing as GSPs have a great built in mic and build I reckon it's going to take a lot to replace them. Fidelio X2 or DT990 comes to mind but for now I am going to worry more about music with the audiophile headphone side of things and just switch to old faithful for gaming.
Have to say I'm extremely excited for the 6XX's , I reckon the "smoother" more laid back tone they're known for is going to suit me well.
