I need EQ with my Senn HD6xx/650, what can I do?
My so called "audiophile" Senn HD6xx/650 cans are far from it. They require some EQ to add just enough bass to appropriate level. I like articulate, musical, just enough bass, not overwhelming amounts or anything like that, but the HD650 has no bass extension and is somewhat lacking of the...- 414353

Info on Sennheiser HD569?
After reading about the new Sennheiser HD569 on Innerfidelity recently, I am left with the same question: I have a pair of HD518s and I wonder if the HD569 would sound any different? In Tyll’s article he mentions that they do not have that infamous “veil” to them (nor to my HD518s). The thing...- 414353

I was about to pull the trigger on a pair of AKG K712 pros, but.....need suggestions
I'm glad I did not pull the lever on the AKG K712s yet. I just found out that the ear pads are $90 which is ludicrous at best and one can't get them even if they wanted to anyway because AKG does not have any customer service. Even the website is not fully functional, I challenge anybody to even...- 414353

Headphone case sources? (Looking for a nice case)
I'm about to pull the trigger on a pair of what I call "investment" level headphones (AKG K712pro) and I would like a nice case to store them in. I'm looking for something nice, but inexpensive (south of $40 let's say). I don't want ones like on Amazon as they look cheap and too small. A nice...- 414353

Looking for a good quality headphone extension cable
I'm looking for a good quality headphone extension cable say in the 8 to 10 foot range. I need 1/4 inch female to 1/4 male. I have tried Hosa, Monoprice, etc and I found all to be problematic at best. I'm looking for something of better quality than those, but budget friendly. I am looking...- 414353

Swapping out ear pads on the Tekstar Pro 80- how much do they change the sound?
Has anyone swapped out the earpads that come on the Tekstar Pro80 cans with velour ones from either Shure or Brainwaves? If so, how much did it change the sound, if at all? How did the sound change, if it did? Warmer? Less or more detail? Etc. I’m asking because I’m picking up a pair of the...- 414353

Where can I purchase the Takstar Pro 80 that is not Amazon or Ebay?
Sadly, Amazon has decided to rid themselves of thousands of customers by no longer delivering to certain addresses. They use their own logistics now and I have already experienced the same issue as thousands of others = not able to get my orders delivered. Countless phone calls to customer...- 414353

Are the pads on the AKG K553PRO replaceable?
I may be getting a pair of the AKG K553s (purposely overlooking the non-detachable cord which is usually a deal breaker), but I need to know if the ear pads are replaceable or not. If they are not, than that will be the deal breaker on these.- 414353

Are there any authorized dealers for the AKG K712 headphones that don't want an arm and a leg?
In order to upgrade my headphones I sadly have to go to investment level, which is frightening. I'm looking at the AKG K712 headphones, but would like to find them for around $400 tops. I'm willing to go open box as long as there is nothing missing and they have been checked out. Talking to AKG...- 414353

AKG K712 questions
Are replacement cables available for the AKG K712 from reputable sources? What about ear pads as well? I'm considering this headphone, but the price also needs to come down a bit, so I'm waiting for that too.- 414353

Looking for headphones for reviewing music - What about these?
I currently have a pair of Sennheiser HD518s that while I think they are fine headphones, I still find them lacking in some detail. I think they are a bit on the warm side.

Ok, the last attempt at stepping up from my Senn HD518s (this time a list to provide a jump off point at least)

Looking to step up from My Sennheiser HD518s
I’m looking to upgrade from my Sennheiser HD518s or looking to get a different sound or both or whatever the case is. The HD518s are good, but tend to lack a little detail in the mid-highs. I’m looking for something more balanced with good staging without being shrill or tinny or too boomy in...- 414353

Are the ear cup pads replaceable on the AKG K240s?
With the next to impossible opportunities of auditioning headphones, I've been doing some more reading and I think I may take a chance with the AKG K240 as an upgrade to my HD518s......maybe. However, that also depends on if the ear cup pads are replaceable. To that end my question is: Are...- 414353

Narrowing down the field: Sennheiser HD598, HD600 & HD650

Looking to upgrade my headphones
I’m looking to upgrade my current headphones which are the Sennheiser HD518s. I do like them, but have been finding them a tiny bit too warm sounding which effects detail.

As far as I have seen there is no place in California (at least the Orange County area) to go and demo headphones.
