Quote: I haven't tried the 990s, but I do find the closely related 880s quite bright. Especially if you compare them to your Senn 205s (i used to own a pair)....   Here are some measurements from headroom showing the treble spike in Beyers vs some other cans...

Quote: Agreed. I can't wear my IEMS on long flights, but the QC15s are terrific (also I find their active noise cancelling is much better with flight noise).  I have worn them pretty much from takeoff to landing (well the portions you can keep your headphones one for) on 14 hour flights...

Also went with B... (before scrolling down)   Just generally a richer more engaging sound.   It would be fun to try a few different tracks ranging from high quality to loudness war debris and see how consistently people can identify the FLAC copy.  Personally I think the sample only...

  Quote:   Correct the E10 does not work with any source other than a computer by USB, and is not portable....   I guess the important question is are you looking for a desktop or portable solution?   If portable, there are lots of reasonably priced options out there. I am...

  Quote:   Thank you very much.

I have the same issue as well.  No option where it should be according to the wiki.  Glad to hear other people are having the issue and I'm not just crazy.  

  Quote:   Second on looking at the E10. I tried one recently with SR60s and SR225s at a local headphone shop (My wallet is in big trouble now that I have a local headphone shop).  I was not expecting an amp to be an improvement for such easy to drive headphones. Boy was I wrong.  I was...

  Quote: The Grado SR60i sound is a huge difference from my beloved HD650s.  But that's what I find to be the most fun aspect of headphones, It is much more affordable (and space efficient) to buy multiple sets of headphones than speakers... The SR60s are absolutely amazing for $79, and I...

Here is my workplace rig assembled with the help of much head-fi lurking.  HD650 and Nuforce HDP for when I am sitting at the desk (connected via USB to a computer running iTunes and Spotify, and toslink to a Pure i20 dock).  SR60i (my first foray into Grados, purchased last week) and SE210s for...

ChiComm4: I don't know of a simple way to determine the bitrate.  I ended up checking the total network traffic while listening to a single song (every OS has a different method)  results ended up averaging to ~320kbp/s the couple times I tried.     In my (half day of) experience, most...

There are some translation gems on their website:     "This product is not such a commodity that strengthens gaily the high pitched sound and the bass, But it draws out the ability in the maximum from your headphone/earphone which has it originally but not appear correctly."   Also ...

  I am currently looking to finally purchase a dedicated headphone amp for use at work, and need some advice before making my purchase.   I am looking to drive a pair of HD650s (which I am about to purchase).  For source I will be primarily using an iPod classic through a Pure i20 dock...
