I just upgraded my NE-6 headphones which I thought were quite good for the money. I bought the NE-700x after many favourable reviews. I am very happy with the result. They have more definition in the higher frequencies, and have nice bass as well. Mostly I was impressed how the sound stage...

I went off of head-fi for a few months and I am back again. I have sold headphones to a few happy customers and received some nice feedback, and I left some as well. On my profile it looks like I haven't received any, or left any. what could I have done to wipe it out...or is it hidden...

I have 80 of these puppies spanning '76-84. It used to be a hobby of mine. I haven't bought one in over two years. It's a neat hobby because these things have a definate start year ( 1976 with Mattel's Auto Race, the first fully electronic game ), so it is easy to collect. Most of these are...

I have a Nintendo 64, a Nintendo Gamecube, PSP, PS3 and a Wii. I will be buying a Playseat to go with my G27 racing wheel soon. I love the black controllers for the Wii...have two of them now, four controllers in total. I also love the different controller colours now available for the PS3...

Anyone else on this site also a member of boardgamegeek? Over 400 games and counting...

I had the product page for this DAC bookmarked and wondered why the bookmark brought me to a weird warning page written in Chinese instead of the DAC info page. I went to the Audio GD website and looked for the DAC and saw that it isn't there anymore. It is now call the DAC 19 with two variants...

You can pick up these cans in many places in the States for the suggested $199.99 . In fact you can get these from J & R for $150 if you phone and request a better price. Problem is that you are still paying a fair bit for shipping. Most places on ebay sell them for around $200 US plus...

Many of us agree that the SR225i are the best Grado phones for rock/metal under $200. I haven't heard any other higher tier Grado and wanted to know if the RS1i is the ultimate rock/metal phone from the current Grado line...or is it the GS1000?

I have read many threads about how generally people seem to prefer the sound of the DT 880 semi open to the DT 990, saying that the DT 990 has somewhat better soundstage, but a boomier bass. I have now read that this refers to the 250 ohm version of the DT990 and that the 600 ohm version...

I seldom replace or upgrade items from my hobbies. I have however sold/upgraded a few headphones already in under a year, and plan on at least one more upgrade ( see below ) in 2010, while keeping most of my existing inventory. In 2010 I plan to buy the following: D7000 ( sooooo looking...

Some headphones are hard to drive. Some sound better with SS amps...some sound much better with tubes. Would it not be a good idea for headphone manufacturers to include an area on their website that recommends certain amps ( if not by make and model at least by specifications and type ) for...

I recently replaced my HD600 with HD650 for classical music. Don't get me wrong...the HD600 were wonderful with classical, but when I heard classical music with the HD650 I really liked the fuller sound of these phones which provided more bass than the HD600. I just sold my DT 770 250 ohm 2005...

Are the Darth Beyers to closed guitar heavy rock and metal headphones as Grados are to open rock and metal phones? Are they controversial...or are people really seeing a wonderous change from stock into awesome audiophile quality rock phones? Even at 80 ohms...or are people opting for the 300...

My dad listened to my Beyer DT770/250 ( 2005 ) through my LD Mk III with classical music and loved it. I couldn't get him away from the phones. He would like a pair of headphones to listen to classical music now. He doesn't want the fuss of a dedicated headphone amp, so he will be plugging...

Many of us do the research, ask questions, look for the best deals, and then buy a set of phones. Most of us expect good sq and build quality of the phones we purchase after doing such an exhaustive search. But even still, what phones have you experienced that even surpassed your expectations...

I know the stretched length of the coiled cable that comes with the PL 750 is around 3 meters...but what is the length of the cable when not stretched? 1 meter or so? Just considering portable applications of full sized circum aural headphones w/o recabling.

Just ordered another one since I like mine so much, I ordered one for my dad. Great amp, and great price. Very good reviews.

I have tried to sift through many threads about this portable amp, looking for specific info on the types of phones it will work well with. I'd like to replace my cmoy with a portable amp that does a better job with my DT770 250 ( 2005) and HD600. I like the idea of fooling around with the...

I bought the K450, and it's OK...but compared to my SR60i which I use as an open portable with my iPod touch, they really don't cut it. I have considered the HD 25 I ii and HD SP ii. I'm not sure that both can be driven properly from an iPod, but I think the SP ii can. The latter has a longer...

Many threads on closed cans for rock, and many threads on how Grados are great for rock and metal, which is great. I love my DT 770 250 ohm 2005 ed. for rock, but I would like an open set of cans for this genre. I have had my SR60i for a while and love them my iPod. I love my HD600 for...

I love my SR60i especially since it is portable and sounds great. I am looking to get another member of the Grado family. I love my Senn HD600 especially for choral, orchestral, and other classical types of music. They are my audiophile cans for this type of music. I would like to get a Grado...

Where can I get one of these online? They seem to be hard to find... One like this: iPod Line Out Dock Adapter but one that I can get from North America or other cheap shipping areas.

I have been reading through a gazzillion threads ad nauseum about this player and still haven't found enough direct discussion about the headphone amp relative to the CD5001. Does this player have as good of a headphone amp in terms of sq as the CD5001? If not...is it still pretty darn fine? I...

I have read many threads about this hp, but I still wonder if the iPod touch has enough to power this set of cans. 40 ohm is pretty reasonable ( but I don't think they are all too sensitive ), and one fellow said that his iPod shuffle did well with this headphone. I'd like confirmation on this...

I travel to Europe once every summer, and I would like a nice pair of phones to listen to my iPod touch while on the plane. I wanted to get noise cancelling headphones at first, but have heard many arguments that in-canal ear phones provide just as good if not better sound isolation. I'd also...
