We started with Corporate Benefits at work. Just couldn’t resist getting a Sennheiser HD650 for €200 incl vat. Yes, bought this classic blindly…

As an avid BeyerDynamic user, I don’t know if I’ll like the sound, but selling value would still be reasonable imho. It’ll be for mixing at home or simply listening to tracks mostly. I currently don’t own an open back headphone, so that’s new for me.

Any experience with the HD650 here?

My son has a pair for his computer and uses a Fiio USB DAC with them. Thinks they’re great.

New monitors mounted. Yamaha HS7.

The venerable KRK Rokit 5 has been retired…got 15 years out of them. One of the units stopped sounding great.

A new addition to my arsenal!

I found this Reloop Mixtour Pro in like-new condition, barely used, for €250. I think it should be the perfect companion for my LC6000s, freeing up weight and space, to replace my Z2 in my mobile setup.

It will primarily be used with Virtual DJ, which natively supports it.

It will also serve as a backup for some other events.

The only thing I regret is the lack of an XLR connection, but I suppose RCA-to-XLR adapter cables will do the trick.

It’s a really nice unit. I followed it for ages then got sick of waiting then ended up with a Pioneer FLX10 instead :roll_eyes:

I love my Z2 and I’m going to keep it, but it’s still quite heavy in a backpack with my laptop. I already have 5 kg between the two LC6000s and their carrying case, so I was getting a bit fed up and looking for a lighter alternative.

I hesitated between this and a used DDJ 800 in very good condition for around €600, which would have been sufficient as a lightweight controller for mixing in bars. It was either the DDJ 800 or keeping the LC6000s + Mixtour Pro.

Advantages of the DDJ 800:

  • Lightweight

  • Compact

  • Very quick to set up and requires few cables.

  • XLR connections

Disadvantages of the DDJ 800:

  • Smaller jog wheels, less precise for scratching.

  • Only 8 pads per deck, so you have to constantly switch between Hot Cues and Stems modes.

  • Higher investment.

  • No loop encoders.

  • No effects triggers.

  • Not really keen on going back to Pioneer.

Advantages of Mixtour Pro + 2xLC6000:

  • Much lower investment since I already have the LCs.
  • Adds 8 extra pads for stems, allowing me to keep Hot Cue mode permanently active on the LCs.
  • Effects triggers.
  • Larger jog wheel on the LCs, making scratching more precise. - Modular configuration

Disadvantages of Mixtour Pro + 2xLC6000

  • Heavier weight
  • Requires more setup time
  • Many cables (power and USB for each LC6000 + power and USB for Mixtour Pro)
  • Requires RCA-to-XLR adapters

We’ll see if all these cable connections eventually become tiresome.
