How much could I likely fetch for a week old pair of LCD-4z's?
They were a gift and the I the midrange dip is not something I could live with. To be clear they were new when I got them. They probably have 2-3 hours on the them.- essential-oils

Has anybody else found it hard to adjust to full size cans after years of IEM/CIEM use?
I've been a strict IEM/CIEM for a good 6 years. I just got the HiFiMan he-500 recently, and I just seem to be having a really hard time adjusting to the new sound. It doesn't seem nearly as bright or alive as my CIEM's. Has anyone else experienced this?- essential-oils

Does the RSA predator require burn-in?
Was able to hear a well used Predator a few days ago using my JH 16's, it sounded magnificent. Went ahead and got one, and while the imaging for the mid/high is extraordinary, the low-end is incredibly muddy, I can barely make anything out in those frequencies, and it it doesn't seem to be...- essential-oils

Trance is sounding horrible on my JH16's
Just got my JH16's w/freqphase a few weeks ago. They are really great, but trance just sounds terrible on them. Is there anything I can do to make them sound better? I'm using an Audioengine D1 and it makes things marginally better. 98% of my collection is 320 or FLAC, the other 2% is...- essential-oils

At what price/level do full-sized cans start to rival the clarity of the JH 16 Pro's?
I only ask because I recently got the 16 pro's, and shortly after tested the LCD-2's. I was expecting angels to purr into my ear after hearing all the great reviews on the LCD-2's, but I was left wanting. Don't get me wrong, they were good, borderline really good, but nowhere near amazing...- essential-oils

Just got my JHA 16 Pros. Low-end is mesmerizing. Something is seriously wrong with the mid-range though. Help, please.
I wish I was a true audiophile like some of you guys so I could tell you what exactly is wrong. I've had these puppies on for a half-hour now. They fit great. No sibilance issues, except for one track which is widely known to have been poorly mastered. The low-end is great, albeit...- essential-oils

I have 12 hours or so before I pull the trigger on the JHA16 Pro's. Primarily listen to the likes of Hybrid, Above & Beyond, Mat Zo, Hecq, Eco, Deep House & Progressive House. Am I making a mistake?
...likes of Hybrid, Above & Beyond, Mat Zo, Hecq, Eco, Amon Tombin, lots of progressive --as defined by the community at large not beatport-- & deep house. I got the molds & money ready. I just want to make sure I'm making the right decision here. Upgrading from the Shure Se535's...- essential-oils

Is anyone else having problems with poor sound quality output for headphones from the new Macbook Pro Retina?
The computer is fantastic, but it does an absolute **** job of driving my Shure SE 535's, and the sound quality is notably worse than previous macbook pro's. It's so bad, that my iPhone 4 can drive those iem's better than the mbp. Anyone else experiencing this problem?- essential-oils

Best headphones for electronic music (trance, progressive)?
Sorry for the n00b post. I've seen a few threads similar to mine, but my tastes vary a little from other users. I've had the Shure se530's and 535's for 5 years now. They've been amazing, truly stunning for electronic music, but I'm ready to upgrade to big boy headphones. Looking...- essential-oils

Moving from Shure SE 530's to Full-Size Headphones, Need help please = )
I've been a loyal user of the Shure SE 530's for the past 3 years and I've genuinely enjoyed my ride with them, but I feel it is time to move from in-ear monitors to a fuller sized headphone that can create some bigger bass. I listen to mostly trance/prog house and classical and am looking to...- essential-oils
