Sennheiser HD 650 Headphones
“ The HD650's don't do anything really wrong. They have a natural sound signature and slightly elevated midbass that is easy on the ear (non-fatiguing). Most people will find that they appreciate their sound. They are not the final word in transparency and speed, but they are advanced enough technically to allow them to be true to the source material, offering an excellent sonic window...” --dreamwhisper
Audio-Technica ATH-M50S
“The ATH-M50 is one of those rare products where the quality/price ratio really hits the sweet spot, and in fact is like a small miracle in the world of pro audio. When you get Grammy Award-winning audio engineers and producers like George Massenburg, Frank Filipetti, Al Schmitt...etc singing its praises publicly, you know it's got to be something special. The M50 pulls off the difficult balance...” --Lunatique
Audeze LCD2 Planar Magnetic Headphones
“I felt extremely priveledged to be included in the first group of people to hear the long awaited and much anticipated release of Audeze's LCD2. Some history: I am not new to planar magnetic technology and have been an avid fan and disciple of planar magnetic headphones ever since I was lured into the murky waters by the vintage yamaha orthodynamic headphones. If not for the keen efforts of...” --dBel84
Sennheiser HD 800 Headphones
“ REVIEW: Sennheiser HD 800Overview Reviewing a statement product is tough – especially one that was as highly anticipated as the HD800. There is already a huge buzz on head-fi about them, and many have already declared them the best dynamic headphone on the market. But most of these proclamations have been from owners, One potential difference between my listening to the HD800 and other...” --Skylab
Sennheiser HD-598
“ My first pair of audiophile headphones. BEST starter headphones. I love them so much. ” --JasonZ10
Beyerdynamic Tesla T1
“This is not going to be as thorough or long as my normal reviews for now - but I wanted to get something in place. I have always liked Beyer headphones, but they all had some very defining character or flavor - even the most neutral, the DT880/600, was a little hot in the treble and a little light in the bass, IMO. Well, the T1 changes all that. While maybe just a touch lush, it is...” --Skylab
Denon AH-D7000 - Headphones
“ When the Denon D5000 first came out, I was pretty impressed with it – I felt if delivered a considerable amount of audiophile goodness for a reasonable price. There was, in the end, some room for improvement, however, and when the D7000 first came out, I was very eager to try them. On listening to them at a meet, however, I came away with the feeling that they didn’t sound that much better...” --Skylab
Sennheiser HD-600
“ The Sennheiser HD600 is an open dynamic circumaural head-phone which Sennheiser market for audiophiles, and also state as ideal for studio monitoring. Pre-amble (about me) I'm a 44 year old music lover. I don't say audiophile - just love my music. Over the last couple of years, I have slowly changed from cheaper listening set-ups to my current...” --Brooko
Superlux HD-668 B
“ As the saying in the title goes, this has never been truer than for these headphones. Thankfully, Superlux sells sound quality, not an overhyped brand name. Can you really get great sound for $40? Oh yes, and it's right here. I was recommended these headphones by a fellow forum member and after a day or two of investigation I decided I really liked what I read about them and...” --WrxSTI
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 Closed Studio Headphones
“ A bass lover's phone for sure. Can be fun with the right music. But the bass is of the one-note "whump" variety and that gets boring. Still, can be good with rock. I've noticed some pretty sucked out mids, though, so vocals suffer. And for a bass-head phone, the highs can get pretty brittle. Not at all a balanced presentation, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun. Everyone should give...” --The Monkey
