    Help me compare apples to oranges. Grado 225e vs Sony 1r

    First off, I know these are completely different animals in that one is open and the other closed.    I'll start off by saying that I currently have a pair of 225i headphones running un-amped from my iPhone 5 playing lossless files. They're broken. I think. I loaned them to someone for a...

    It's Official. The Bloggers at Gizmodo are Deaf.

    Sometimes Gizmodo says cool things about headphones. Sometimes they don't. (Make that most of the time.)   This is the opening line for an article about the new Fanny Wang 3001 NC headphones they "reviewed."   "If we've learned anything from Beats by Dre, it's that adding a little bit of...

    OTL vs SET Amp for HD650

    I just picked up some HD650's from Amazon and need an amp.   I know there are like six hundred and fifty billion threads about the HD650 and amps on here, and I think I've done a lot of digging and reading, but I keep getting confused about some things.   I'm looking to stay at or around...

    looking for a closed can that's on par with the HD598

    Hey everyone   I have some HD598s that I just got for use at work, and they sound great, much better than my HD555s, but they leak too much for my office mate. I didn't think they'd bother her, but they are apparently too loud.    I listen to mainly acoustic stuff, some rock, daft punk...

    Headphone that pairs well with Asgard & Bifrost

    Hey gang. Right now I have senn 555s running un-amped from my iMac playing lossless files. Mostly Dave Matthews acoustic stuff mixed in with some rock and stuff like MGMT. I've decided on the schiit Asgard and bifrost combo and was planing on going with the 555s for the time being, but I...

    "Tube Sound" and how to know if you'll enjoy it.

    Hi-   I've been lurking on here for years, always overestimating my budget by thousands, but have finally settled on a reasonable budget of around 600.   I have Senn. HD555's and Grado 225s. My source is an iMac with some iTunes downloads and apple lossless files ripped from CD.   ...

    Looking at upgrading from my ampless Senn. HD555s to something "nicer." Been looking for headphones for a while. Looked at grados, and AKGs and AudioTechnicas and ultrasones and just about anything else that falls into that "midrange" headphone land... But I think that I am going to get...
