Audiocheck.net frequency response tests
Does anyone else use these tests to try out their headphones and their ability to hear certain frequencies? https://www.audiocheck.net/ I've been told by a few friends that humans cannot hear below 20 hertz and thus they don't believe that can hear lower than that. However, there is a test on...- swaffleman

Bass response question
One thing I've noticed, I have a pair of headphones that have a very punchy, articulate bass response (PX 200 II's,), but not much raw volume from what I can discern. Some untrained ears think they have no bass, although I quite like their bass response and overall coverage. I have other...- swaffleman

Why did Sennheiser discontinue the HD380 pros?
I was able to try these out at a guitar center recently, as they still have a display copy, but no units to actually sell. I spent a lot of time listening at that guitar center, and realized these headphones were sent from heaven on high from the gods. Super large earpieces with lots of room...- swaffleman

Sennheiser PX 100/100 II's Vs Fischer Oldskool '70?
I really like the small, semi open foam pad on ear headphone style a la the ones I mention above or the various Koss models. I like my sennheisers a lot, but the newer version in particular can get a bit uncomfortable. My old ones are very comfy and they still works somehow, but I'm somewhat...- swaffleman

Skullcandy Stim
Hello all, I've seen little to nothing about the Skullcandy Stims. I saw these while getting groceries (sometimes I glance through the electronics for the heck of it). They were on sale for 20 dollars, so I picked them up. I have to say, I'm very surprised. I was expecting crap, and crap is...- swaffleman

sennheiser quality control?
I love Sennheiser, But I have several pairs of the PX 200 iis (I really love these things). I have a pair that is going on 3 years old that still works, but one of my newer ones shorted out after just 10 months, and it was one of the newer ones with the L plug. The one I originally owned had a...- swaffleman

Sennheiser HD 2.20 review
Hello everyone, I made a thread asking if anyone had gotten these yet. No responses for nearly a week, so I figured I'd be the first to talk about these. I got them on sale on Amazon, and it was same day delivery. I only paid about 55 dollars for them. These are initial impressions as...- swaffleman

Anyone have the new Sennheiser HD 2 series headphones?
I noticed that Sennheiser has some new small portables out. The HD 2.10, 2.20, and 2.30. Has anyone had a chance to listen to these? I want to know how they compare to the PX 100 and 200 II's. I own both PX models and really like them, but one thing I wish the PX 200 II's had a little more...- swaffleman

My original Bose Triport OE still work!
Hello all, I forgot I had these...dug them out of my closet from my mom's a while back. They still worked but the ear pads were disintegrating. I finally got some new pads....these cans are now 11 years old! I remember they were my first "good" pair of headphones. I eventually got to...- swaffleman

Sony MDR ZX 110! Really good budget phones!
I know I do a lot of reviews here. It seems like most of the headphones I review go under the radar. Anyway, I found these at Target for 20 dollars, and I've owned a couple of the zx series in the past. I picked them up wondering how bad they could be, since the other zx models aren't great...- swaffleman

Innerfidelity and the JVC flats?
I think it'd be cool for Tyll to review these. I dug mine out after having stored them for a move I did a while back. I forgot how good these actually sound, especially for their price. They give the cheap Koss and Senny's a run for the money while being even cheaper than those! And yes, I...- swaffleman

Skullcandy Grind review thread
Hello all. I hadn't seen a review on the forums just yet. I know Tyll Hertsens has reviewed them, but I wanted to say a couple of things. I was recently looking for a replacement for my PX 200 II's. I still love them, but I want something with a bigger, slightly bassier sound. The...- swaffleman

Philips SHL 3060 review!
Hello all. I had recently gotten an itch to try out some headphones. Every now and then I feel the attack come on. I had been pretty satisfied with my PX 200s (and I still think they are great). I had tried out the Bowers and Wilkins P5s, the Beats solo 2's, and the SkullCandy Grinds...- swaffleman

Beats solo 2 vs Bowers and Wilkins P5 series 2 (wouldn't mind comparisons to Skullcandy Grind either).
Hello all, I was recently out on prowl for an upgrade. My go to phones for quite some time now have been the Sennheiser PX headphones (both 100 and 200s). I tried out the B&W P5's and was pretty impressed with the sound. I saw the beats of course, but never gave them much of a chance at...- swaffleman

Finally got the new PX 100s, decided to compare them to the old ones
I still have my old PX 100's. They still work and pump out great sound. I kept reading comparisons between the two. It seems pretty equally divided as to which one is better. Differences I notice (I should note that all of the listed differences are very subtle. I had my sister try out...- swaffleman

Who still has their original Sennheiser PX 100's?
I have been floating from phone to phone lately...I brought these back out of my dresser where I keep most of my cans. I forgot why I stopped using these to begin with. They still work!

Found the Polk On Ears "Hinge" headphones at Best buy for 40 dollars.
I went into a Best Buy and checked out the section where they keep the Senny Momentums (and a few other more expensive models, including one open set that was a few hundred bucks). They also had AKG's, V Moda's...and some others I am forgetting. I found a set of Polk headphones there. I had...- swaffleman

Great mod for the Bowers and Wilkins P3.
As a lot of people have discovered, while an overall nice sound and amazing design, there's a sort of bass bloated-ness that bleeds into the mids with these headphones, and makes for a sort of muffled sound. For many, this is unacceptable in a 200 dollar headset, no matter how well designed. ...- swaffleman

Non audio-specific companies making way better headphones now
Sony has always made pretty good headphones But it seems that companies like Philips, JVC (really, JVC has stepped it up so much), and even Maxell (if those DHP II's had been made more sturdy, they would have quickly become one of the best headphones ever) have began making far better...- swaffleman
