Hi. I was a/b testing two dongles to see which had the power to drive my Planar and I turned it up pretty loud to see if there was a difference. I didn't wear the headphones at this volume for more than 4 seconds a time, maybe four times, before I realised what I was doing was dumb. It's three...

Hello. Tldr - if its loud enough is it powerful enough. I am wondering when running Planar headphones (or any headphones) if there is a difference between "volume and power" . I mean, if I can run my Planar headphones to a deafening level without maxing out my volume control which physically...

After going through a ton of headphones: HD599, K702, K371, Shure 840a, Sivga SV01, I finally have found two that I like in terms of fit, which for me as someone who hates any kind of clamp pressure, has been hard. The SHP9500 and the t50RP are the ones I like the best. I have fitted some Shure...

Hi there, I have just bought a pair of HD 599's to replace a VERY old pair of HD 580s I got as a kid. I love the sound, however I find the earpads super firm and they give me a sort of pressure headache. The pads on my 580s seemed much softer. I've got a few other headphones, such as some...

Hi, I work in a noisy office and wish to purchase some over-ear noise cancelling headphones to go with a Sansa Clip Zip (in ears make my ears very sore).   I originally bought some Goldring NS1000s, and thought the sound was pretty decent, but I couldn't bear the plasticky build quality, they...
