Sennheiser HD 540 Reference II
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- From my friend experience, 300ohm ver is more airy, 600 ohm is more "musical" if that makes any sense.
- I have only tried 300ohm version with ath pad, sounds amazing, which rivals modern cans easily.
- tonight Im using my Arya Stealth, Aful Explorer, and taking out my dad HD 540 Reference II for a little ride, but at the end, its always the music…
- I love these things. Hadn't realised that you could replace the pads. I don't know if I have much else thats been around that long. Kind of strange to me that they still seem to work perfectly.
Cons
- The original pads were dead and lost all their density so the sound was thin and bright.
