Just wondering, what's with the super polarized views on this headphone. Some say it's super overpriced at 200$ others say it it's on par or better than the HD600. Is this one of those things where some audiophiles find any elevated bass 'distracting' or 'overwhelming' and find a headphone...

Is there anyone on here who could help me figure out high-pass and low-pass filters? I was considering asking the Cables, Power, Tweaks, Speakers, Accessories (DBT-Free Forum) but I figured this was the proper place to ask, or rather the better place to ask. To simplify things, I'm building...

My highschool has a senior project, what that means is you can choose a topic to research and whether the presentation you make passes or fails can determine whether or not you graduate. Sounds rough, but the requirements for passing are laughably low. I decided to raise the bar for myself and...

I'll keep this short as I don't have too much to say. A friend of mine bought the DT880 250 ohm (premium) and I decided to spend an hour listening to all three headphones, out of my Sansa Clip+ and Schiit Magni (I'd have used my modi, but I didn't have a laptop/computer at the time).  The...

Construction: The cable on the JVC FX850 is nicely sized, flexible and lacks microphonics. It ends in a normal 3.5mm plug and is also detachable, having MMCX connectors (which Shure also uses). The FX850 has 3 front-vents and 1(?) back-vent. (Though it’s a ring vent, so I can’t see how many...

It's been awhile since I've joined head-fi, and I've learned a lot since then (like most people tend to) and I may have said something similar awhile ago on these forums, but would it be a bad idea to use a subwoofer with open headphones that are a little light on the bass end? I've actually...

I don't think anyone's brought this up before, but I feel like a different set of earpads would be nice on the MA900, velour perhaps. I've worn the DT880 and their earpads are very nice feeling. Leather, pleather and other isolating-type pads are a big no for the MA900 as they muddle up the...

First, let me just say I was unsure which part of the forums to post this in, but this part seemed a safe bet. So let me describe my conundrum: I have a Kenwood KR-V7070 receiver and I'm using the headphone out with a few of my headphones. I tried it with my T50rp IIs, MDR-MA900s, ATH-M35s...

This will probably get no replies, but I want to know if there's anyone who's heard both of these headphones or perhaps has A/B'd them, which I'm sure very few have. This is more to help others than myself, as I couldn't find such a thread anywhere besides maybe 1 or 2 people actually comparing...

I'm a proud owner of the budget cans, JVC HA-RX900 and I'd like to tell you the story of how I took the simply 'a little better than average' in it's price range headphone and made it (in my opinion) drastically better. At first I was reading this lovely thread by...

The title of this thread is a bit silly, but anyway.. I'm new to DIY and I have some Audio Technica headphones well, had but that's exactly why I'm going to ask if there's anyway I can repair the drivers, because I believe they 'blew out'. The left driver is working fine, but the right driver is...

POLL: Two of the best budget headphones around, but which has a better price:performance? Poll is indefinite, to be useful for those of us looking into a good pair of budget headphones. If you're going to vote it's preferable that you'd heard both and aren't biased, --- which isn't easy for...

This question may or may not have been asked before, but looking through a few dozen pages after I searched it I got nothing on it. So anyway, I'm wondering how the sound of a closed headphones would (most likely) change when you open it up, as in remove the back of it like a normal closed...

Hello, Head-fiers. It seems to me like the Audio Technica AD700 is quite popular around these parts for an open-headphones, but if often criticized or even hated for it's lack of low frequency response. Well, I've never had an open headphones but rather simply wouldn't an easy fix be to use them...

              I currently have M-Audio Q40s and ATH-Pro 700 mk2 and I'm starting to think I've satisfied my inner bass head. My musical taste and sound preference isn't changing, but I'm craving something with beautiful, well-defined, clear treble and natural, well-textured mids and decent bass...

It's been bugging me for awhile, but some recordings/tracks for a reason unknown to me causes the speakers to kick, even though the sound coming out isn't loud. In headphones especially you can notice this impact, or kick. Most commonly you can find this phenomenon in older songs but I've heard...

First let me just say, this is my very first post on Head-Fi and it gives me a warm-fuzzy feeling to be part of such an enthusiastic-audio community like this one. Any who, to the point of this thread: I'm looking for a headphone under 180$ that is of a closed design, has powerful bass...
