I actually tried this with an HD 650 recently. Not going to lie, it was pretty great. Nothing a headphone can do compares to the physical sensation of bass in a room from a speaker.   I find the HD 650 to be just a bit light at the very lowest frequencies (say below 60hz). Seems like this has...

  Fit and build is the one major complaint you'll find over in the HP50 thread, so I doubt it was the unit. Having had the HP50 for a little over 20 days I can assure you that they don't have to be defective to fit poorly on some head shapes, especially if you don't spend time playing with...

I guess there's more to this story. I've always heard the "white vs blue box" discussion in M50 threads, but wasn't aware there were solid measurements to back up the difference between the two revisions. Apparently I'm an idiot and there are:  ...

Everyone's been saying that this was a minor re-release with detachable cables and nearly identical sound, but check this out:   http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/AudioTechnicaATHM50x.pdf vs: http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/AudioTechnicaATHM50.pdf   Without having heard the new one...

  Thanks. I almost didn't post it after I saw how long it got, but in retrospect I'm glad I did because I think this headphone is worth discussing even if it's not a unanimous recommendation. If this fit like (and maybe looked more like) the M-100, or maybe the MDR-1R, or even a big studio can...

[So this got really long by the time I was finished. Sorry? Here's a summary for the TL;DR crowd: -Loving the sound. I don't know if they're actually "neutral" but that's definitely how they sound to me. Tracks with bass sound bass-y, acoustic tracks sound realistic, etc. -Compressed wall of...

I apparently have the same driver flex issue that was brought up a while back, and it definitely has an impact on the volume balance. The right driver experiences significant flex which basically does this: As pressure increases or decreases (pressing or releasing, or just placing them on your...

Quote:   I think you pretty much pay for that full warranty with Apple... The refurbished discount is usually less than 20%, and at that price I'd hope they cover it as well as they cover a new item. If you're looking for a 15-20% discount on headphones, that's pretty easy to locate on...

Quote:   If you buy from the seller "Dahmart" on Amazon I think it's been established that this is Dakmart (an authorized dealer). Apparently their name was taken when they made a seller account on Amazon (you could email Dakmart to make sure that's true). That means you should be getting...

Thanks for pointing this out, I'd only seen the $200 refurbs on Amazon. I returned them after buying at $350, but for $160 I couldn't pass up owning a pair.   In fact mine arrived today. They look (and more importantly sound) as good as new. I can't be certain but I think the pads have been...

Marking an item as "shipped" when a shipping label is created is pretty common practice for most online stores; Under most circumstances the labels are only created when the product is going to ship at the end of the business day. They probably went ahead and created all the labels for the...

There are definitely a lot of factors that can create hearing imbalance. Just off the top of my head I can think of: -Outer ear shape. -Ear canal shape/diameter. -Ear wax. Some people produce too much wax and end up with plugs, and use of IEMs can increase wax production. NEVER try to...

Thought I'd jump in here since I'm still on the fence about these. I got mine on the 3rd and, for some reason related to the fact that I used their order online pick up in store system, I have until the 27th to return them (I called to make sure this wasn't a glitch. Apparently even if it is...

Quote: I've tried a number of different devices as well as using a normal non-iDevice cable, unfortunately the results have been identical. I also tried letting them play overnight just to see if it was something self-correcting, but the offset remains.   Quote: Sorry, somewhere in...

I grabbed these (*edit: ue6000) from the Apple store online, none in stock in my area. Before I get to the problem this post is about I want to say... wow, these are amazingly comfortable. I'm pretty sure I could wear them all day and never notice.   Unfortunately mine seem to have about a...
