Hi all. Working as a professional drummer, I've been using the Sennheiser IE 800 as my live IEMs for a few months and really enjoying it. I've had to experiment with finding the tips that provide the best seal, and using one of the larger sizes it's working great. My in-ear mixes are the best...

Hi everyone,   I recently participated in and set a new Guinness World Record for 'Longest Marathon Drumming by a Team'. During my slot, I wore my favourite headphone for drumming with, the Sennheiser Amperior, as can be seen in the following pic:       Here is a link to the...

Hi there - For my Sennheiser HD600 headphone, I recently bought a new stock HD600 cable which now has a been used to listen to music for around twenty hours. I would like to burn-in the cable some more and wonder if just plugging the HD 600 cable into the headphone socket of my DAC/Amp whilst...

A few years ago, after working as a pro musician (drummer/vocalist) for around a decade, I decided to get some great new headphones to enhance my experience of recorded music and audio, and with my wanting pointed in the direction of the best headphone rig possible, I set off on my quest...

I've had an Amperior for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it! Prior to the Amperior my main portable headphone was the Sennheiser HD 25-1, which I kept for ten years and really enjoyed, especially with the velour pads. I sold my HD 25-1 about a week after getting the Amperior and have...

Here's a thread for the appreciation of the Sennheiser HD 700 headphone.      Though - at time of writing - I don't have an HD 700 of my own, I've enjoyed them on the few occasions I've listened with them; some of my impressions can be found at the following links:     My initial HD 700...

INTRO   Since joining head-fi around eighteen months ago, I have (surprise, surprise :-) expanded my headphone collection, recently buying a few new items including Sennheiser's HD 800, HD 600, and brand new (at time of writing) Amperior headphones. I didn’t buy them all with the intention of...

A few days ago I had the chance to compare the brand new Sennheiser HD 700 alongside the HD 800, HD 600, and the Audez'e LCD-2, and I thought I'd share some of my thoughts: The audio chain in use was: CD -> Musical Fidelity CD player -> Resonessence Labs Invicta DAC/Amp -> headphone My...

I've had the Apple In-Ear Headphones (the current version with the dual driver) for at least two years now, and I recommend them as a moderately-priced headphone that plays music really well. Whilst they won't reveal the sonic details of recordings with as much precision as more expensive...

Hey Guys,    I've read about the improvements that using a balanced cable with the Sennheiser HD 650 brings over using the HD 650 with an  unbalanced cable, and I was wondering if any of you have a balanced cable that can be used with the Sennheiser HD 650 that you would be willing to lend...

Hey there -    I recently noticed that the first three Jimi Hendrix Experience albums) Are You Experienced?, Axis: Bold As Love, and Electric Ladyland) have recently been remastered. Does anyone here know if there's much difference between the sound of the 2010 remasters and the previous...

Hey guys,    For me, my happiness isn't dependant on having stuff, and that includes audio gear - I find that thinking I have to have stuff in order to be happy is an ineffective way to live my life.   That said, there's nothing wrong with stuff, and it can be loads of fun to speculate...

Hey guys,    I'm considering purchasing a new DAC/Amp.   I mainly listen to music either at my Mac laptop or on-the-go via my iPhone and I'm considering purchasing the Nuforce Icon HDP or RSA Predator, mainly for use with the Sennheiser HD 600, 650, and 25-I.   I currently have a...

Hey guys,   I recently bought the HiFiMAN RE-ZERO and their quality inspired me to start a HiFiMAN Facebook page - please find the URL below.   http://www.facebook.com/pages/HiFiMAN/181883221844545?v=wall&ref=pdem   Many Thanks, Windsor

Hey guys,    I recently bought one of these as a temporary solution when I was in-between DACs for audiophile quality music listening. The main thing that attracted me to the unit was that it played back sound at 24 bit/96kHz and was quite inexpensive compared to most audiophile DAC/Amps. It...

I was looking for the Sennheiser HD 600 appreciation thread and couldn't find it, so here it is.        When recently listening to some of the current flagship headphones (at time of writing this includes the Sennheiser HD 800 and Beyerdynamic T1), each of the stockists I went to had the HD...

Hey there,    I've been looking for reviews on the Yulong U100 but haven't been able to find any online. Does anyone reading this have any experience with the U100, perhaps in comparison with the Audinst MX-1?   Windsor

I'd really love to experience the Sennheiser Orpheus.   Does anyone reading this know where I can do so near where I currently reside? (These days, I'm based in Surrey UK)   Are there any UK (pref. Surrey-based) Orpheus owners who'd be willing to let me try their Orpheus set up? If you...

Hey guys,   I really enjoy having fun listening experiences and it occurred to me that creating a thread for members to share their own most enjoyable headphone-based listening experiences could be a really fun and inspiring thread for all involved.   So, what's been your favourite...

Hey guys,   I've recently jumped on the head-fi bandwagon and assembled a set up mainly comprising of the FiiO E7/E9 and Sennheiser HD 600 and other headphones (see my profile), which is a definite quality increase improvement from my Apple In-Ears straight out of a Mac laptop's headphone...

At this time of writing, I see that this site ranks the Hifiman RE0 as the number one in-ear headphones (and for only $79).    For my in-ear headphones I currently use Apple In Ear Headphones (dual drive model), and was thinking of buying the RE0/RE-Zero. To anyone that has compared the...

Hey guys,   I recently got a next-to-new pair of Sennheiser HD 650 headphones. There seems to be an odd smell from the ear pads and the HD 650 box - is it just my pair or has anyone else experienced this with the HD 650 and the like?

Hi head-fiers,   I'm really enjoying  the process of upgrading my laptop-based listening system. I want the best quality, realistic, natural-sounding listening experience that I can have.   I recently purchased the FiiO E7/E9 combo and a pair of Sennheiser HD 650 headphones. The amp/DAC...
