    Alternate cable for HE-400.

    I've had some really bad luck with the standard cable that ships with the HE-400; I'm on my 3rd one in just over a year, and I'm looking into alternate cable options. I don't believe in spending big money on cables (even the $60 for the stock replacement is ridiculous), so the only other option...

    A few HE-400 questions.

    So, I'm about the drop the cash on a pair of HE-400s (they're in my HiFiMan cart right now), but I have a few questions before I pull the trigger. - Does the stock cable terminate with a 1/4 or 1/8 jack, and does it have an adapter for the other? I need both jacks. - Is it worth buying the...

    The Inaccessible Music You Grow To Love. See The Beauty In The Noise.

    We've all heard those albums, the ones that the music community goes crazy over, and yet you can't understand why. "What is this crap?," you say. "How could anybody even listen to this?" At some point our curiosity gets the better of us (or maybe there a few parts of it you enjoy) and you give...

    O2 vs Asgard

    I'm in the market for a pair of Q701 (auditioned a pair not too long ago and fell in love), and at some point I'd like to get a better amp (I grabbed a little E11 because it was cheap and fit my needs nicely) to unlock their potential. The only problem is that I'm not even sure where to start.  ...

    Any Head-Fi'ers in upstate New York?

    I'm from the Syracuse area myself, and I'd absolutely love to go to a meet sometime. Only problem is that most NY meets seem to be in NYC. I've yet to hear of even one in upstate.

    New to amps. Lots of questions.

    I've recently found myself drawn into the realm of audiophilia; it's a very slippery slope, indeed haha. As of right now, I have a pair of Audio Technica AD900s, VSonic GR07s, and I'm looking into getting a pair of AKGs from the 70x family, which leads me here. I've heard time and time again...

    Looking for balanced (if analytical) headphones.

    I'm looking to add to my headphone collection in the near future, and am specifically looking to add a truly neutral, analytical pair. My current collection is limited to only the Vsonic GR07 and Audio Technica AD900, both of which I love and which complement each other very well. Here's what...

    AD900 or Q701?

    I've been searching around for a pair of suitable full-sized open circumaural headphones to accompany my GR07s for awhile now, and I think I've narrowed my search down to two: The AD900 and the Q701. Is there anyone who has heard both and can give me a good comparison/suggestion? I'll copy/paste...

    Looking for a pair of full-sized headphones to go with my GR07s

    So after putting it off for a long time, I'm finally ready to throw down the money for a good pair of full-sized headphones. Right now my primaries are my GR07s, which I absolutely love. I love their speedy, controlled, but punchy and full-bodied bass, as well as their overall balance and...

    Lost the right channel in my GR07s...

    I've only had my GR07s for about 2 months. I don't abuse them, and already I've lost the right channel. I don't know how this happened, but I'm pretty pissed. What could have possibly caused this to happen so soon? Hopefully I can get them replaced.

    GR07 Worth Amping?

    I just got my pair of GR07s about a week ago, currently have about 50 hours on them and I am really, really impressed with how the sound is shaping up.   I have one question though: would it be worth it to buy a portable amp for them?   The reason I ask is because I'm noticing a pretty...

    GR07 Seller?

    I'm looking into buying a pair of GR07s on ebay and there are two different sellers. One is www.earphone for $160 with free shipping, and the other is bigbargainonline for $170 + shipping.   Has anyone bought anything from either of these sellers? Are they reliable? Is there a better seller...

    Upgrade from S4s.

    I've had my Klipsch S4s for about 2 years now, and I think I'm ready to upgrade. My budget is still pretty strict, but I'd be willing to spend $150 on a new pair, $200 at the upper limit.   I like the S4s, but bass is quite a bit too much, it's like listening underwater at times. That's...

    Are Objective Headphone Measurements Relevant?

     I'm sure we all know about the response graphs over at Headphone.com, but we also know that what we see in those graphs may not be representative of what we are hearing.   My question is: what causes this difference? Is it merely a perceptual difference? That is, is the difference between...
