    Bowers & Wilkins PX7 noise-cancelling over ear headphones

    I have owned a px7 for several years. I bought a px8. While I think the px8 has more detail and better Instrument placement I can not get over the fact that on the PX8 to me the guitars sound anemic. I listen to a lot of Rock music so the px8 is not a good pairing. Has anyone else had this...

    Bower and Wilkins PX8 and classic rock

This is in full...

    Portable Amp for Focal Stelia

    Hi What portable headphone amp works well with Focal Stelia. This headphone still sounds very hood straight out of an iPhone. Directly out of my Mac book air it sounds better than out of the iPhone. I own a chord mojo one (the original one) and did not feel it made the Stelia sound better...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX7 noise-cancelling over ear headphones

    I purchased the Bower and Wilkins px7 about two years ago. After about 3 months of ownership the left year headphone became staticky. I read this was a well known problem. I called bower and Wilkins customer service. As it was a well known fault with the headphone reported on this and other...

    Closed headphones suggestions

    Thanks. That is a good suggestion. I should have stated that I have owned in the past the Meze 99, fostex 900s, Nad visos and some Audio-Technica headphones. None of em did the trick. The mezes are a good suggestion but I tried them a year or so ago. Thanks Mike

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    Hi I own a 650. Great headphone. I do wish it sounded better right from my iPhone but realize I need to use an amp to make it sound great. Does the 660 sound good directly from the iPhone or does it like the 650 really need to be amped? Thanks Mike

    Meze 99 Classics Discussion + Impressions Thread

    Hi Am I correct that the current version of the Meze 99 classics are sold with larger earpads than the originals? Also some of the reviews seem to indicate the sound is different with the different pads with some saying the bass with the big pads is bloated. What do most people think of the...

    V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless - We Discuss It With Val Kolton - Head-Fi TV

    On my crossfade 2 wireless I am noticing it is significantly louder out of the Bluetooth from my iPhone 6s Plus as compared to wired. In fact in blue tooth mode I can only listen at the lowest few settings otherwise it is too loud. There must be something wrong with the headphones or something...

    V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.

    I recently replaced the stock pads with XL pads on my m100s After reading reviews of the XL pads and sonic improvements they often provide (I was hoping for a slightly better soundstage and slight more forward mids), I was disappointed that for me with the XL pads I lost way too much bass and...

    Beyerdynamic DT 150: Bloody Brilliant!

    I returned the150 when I got the fostex mass drop x00. I liked the 150 but like the fostex more. The nad sounded more neutral. The 150 I thought had more bass.

    Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review

    How well do these or similar fostex headphones (600sor900s) respond to equalization? Anyone know if the woo audio 6se amp I have will work well with these? I am not a big fan of recessed mids. Anyone know if electric guitars will sound recessed on these? Thanks Mike
