I personally listened to the HD 490 Pros and the HD650s, and I found the 650s much better... Less fatiguing and less harsh. Also the 490s had that midrange bump for perceived "warmth" which I don't like as it is not accurate, and you cannot really mix on headphones like that (at least I can't) without a corrective EQ. So if these are better than the HD650s, then it's a win for me. Will have to test it, though. (although I'm not a fan of the Beyerdynamic sound, them I also find too fatiguing in the high-end, so I hope the Sony is nothing like them...)

For pure enjoyment I would go with the HD650, they have a natural unhyped sound. The HD490 sound more towards the HD600, wide soundstage, 3D and with great bass extension. They aren't fatiguing but slightly more open around 2-3Khz. I do feel Sony and Sennheiser complement each other well. Good in different ways!

@@galgogergo I felt that the HD 600 was better for mixing then the HD650s, you can check out my comparison video if you like to hear my thoughts regarding that. The Sony's are special in the sense that like I described in the video, great mixes truly sound great while most mixes sound a bit distant. I do believe that the MV1 really can up your game but I do feel that its good to have at least two headphones available that you like with different sound characteristics. The sound signature of Sony headphones are quite different from Sennheisers in my opinion. Both have their strength and weaknesses.

@@Christian_svedin thanks, II definitely will check the other video out! To be frank, the HD600 got omitted for some reason from that comparison, so it's on my list to make up for it eventually. (other contenders were the HD660S v2, the Neumann NDH30, (the 20s here also got omitted due to lack of time), and some other Hi-Fi Sennheisers (HD800s, etc), and 490Pros. Could you state what differences you feel between the Sony and Sennheisers? :) Just in general 🤔 Also, do you think the Sony could be suiatable for mixing, or it's more suited for listening for pleasure, etc? (I would need to have a pair of cans for mixing mainly. I have Audio Technica M40X-s, but would be good to upgrade to something higher-end, while still not breaking the bank)

@@galgogergo Sure! Sennheiser sounds a little bit more upfront to my ears, it's like you are closer to the sound, not only by their tuning curve but something else. The MV1 and M1 from Sony sound a little bit different, where you are more like a spectator looking in. I really enjoy pairing both the MV1 and M1s with my HD25s. I feel I mix as good as with my main speakers. If you have the chance try them (y)

@@Christian_svedin thanks, I will be definitely on it! 🙏

@@pedrazarecords thanks, I always make the raw files available for download 👍

@@timothyhosek3551 I would love to hear how they went about writing it since the key change is quite unique. Like was it done in the moment or was it something they worked out. Anyways thanks for watching 🙏

Keep your eyes open, sometimes the KM84 pops up for a reasonable price. I bought mine when you could find them for 5-700$ The Km54/56 is another story of course. Expensive yes, but they are truly special and nothing sounds quite like it. Thanks for watching (y)

A Telefunken M60 in many cases is even a better choice than the KM84 according to the discussions on gearspace. There are also sound files. You should check that one out if your are after the km84 sound.

@@mistermusicenterprise3148 Especially when you combine different microphones you can get great results on a budget! Don't forget to play around with the phase, that can create some interesting results.

@@Christian_svedin Good to me remind me about phasing. Normally I record my guitar only with one mic. with the Golden Age Elam251 (I bought it after see Your review on this), but recently I record it exactly like You do here.

@mistermusicenterprise3148 Great! The Ela M251 sounds great in fig.8 I would definitely use it on guitar. I didn't say but I flipped the phase on the Km84 and then I could easily get more bass and less midrange depending on how I blend the 3 mics 👍

@@Christian_svedin Absolut lovley!

@@TheJoaovicente I haven't tried out the FiiO, sorry!

@@SpikeoutBattleStreet 🤣🤣🤣

@@Saki630 check with your Sennheiser/Sonova rep. Since I worked close with Sennheiser on my old job i know that the spare parts are listed as such so they can be a little bit hard to find, but they are usually available although I don't know for sure when it comes to the HD650. I would recommend the Hd490 if you enjoy the sound profile, they are spacious and has better low-end response then the HD600/650. Otherwise just get a new pair of HD650sc 😁

@@okidoke-xe8gj it's a prototype of a U67, nothing I can really talk about but a U67 tends to sound good on spoken word ✌️

@@syanhc Personally I hadn't used them before and didn't now what to expect. I found out that I liked them but that they were indeed sounding quite different from each other. Which one is your favourite?

​@@Christian_svedinthank you for the video

A prototype from a manufacturer. Can't really talk about it 🤫

@@Christian_svedin looks like stam 87

@@СергейЧупин-м9ы it's not, but it uses that kind of stock Chinese body allot of manufacturers are using.

​@@Christian_svedin And guts as well)

@@reallyoldcob I only used FiiO DAC's and my overall impression like most Chinese manufacturers are that you are getting allot of your moneys worth. I'll see if I can try out some stuff from them 👍

@@icollided still works!? I could imagine 😁✌️

@@Christian_svedin Yes. I did replace the foam earpads, headband and cable. One of the best things about these, is that there are user serviceable parts that can easily be swapped out. The drivers are original.

@icollided have you ever compared newer generation against yours? I compared my 10y old HD25 to a new pair and they sounded pretty much identical which is funny considering how much I've abused my pair.

@@Christian_svedin I have not, but I'm thinking about getting a pair of HD-650 to switch it up.

@@icollided I do like the HD650 like I said in the video but I would encourage you to check out the HD490, that is something else 👌

@@aaronthomas7790 the Hd490 feels like the best of both worlds. Wide soundstage, good low-end punch and great resolution. Definitely a step forward. Still if you can find a good second hand 600/650 it's a great pair of headphones

@@wizardlywonder1336 hey, I used a golden age deluxe 73 preamp, Prism Audio atlas interface. Some light processing but you can also download the raw files 👍

@@MillSounds yeah once i compiled the tracks I thought they where quite close. There is something about the harmonics in the vintage that sounds great though. The M49v sounds flatter but great! I do agree that a pair is always better to have then singles. Thanks for watching

@@HeartEyesForSenpai its a wonderful microphone!

@@halcyo I would love to see Neumann making their microphone a little bit more affordable. Not 3K but at least sub 6k. They did do a great job with the m49v though ✌️

Yea I guess I’m exaggerating a bit. I think Neumann makes great stuff- I love my TLM 49. The M49V sounds great, a dream mic for me for sure. But I’m actually quite surprised that the vintage version is NOTICEABLY even better. Guess ya gotta spend $15k for that special stuff haha. I just think if I had $9k ready to spend on a mic, I’m going to deserve to be extremely picky and choosy about every little detail.

@halcyo noticeable better, also at least twice as expensive 🫰 of course you should be picky at that price point. Haven't used the TLM-series but wouldn't mind 🙂

Would love to see you shootout the TLM 49 with some of the big boys it’s somewhat related to. It has a cardioid only version of the K47 capsule which is supposedly just a 1 sided version of the same capsule as the newer M49 and the U47. The TLM 49 is a nice vocal mic. I’d bet it’s even more fabulous through a tube mic pre or something fancy.

@@peterpeper4837 I talked to a few techs and they said that the tube Neumann is now using isn't as exciting as the old ac701. None the less, both sounds great 👍

@@tommckeown6970 its great, it has the largness of the U47 without the bloated lowmids. I like it!

I used a GAP 73 DLX preamp 👍

@@maxp6174 thank you! Hopefully the channel will grow ✌️
