    Pioneer SE-A1000 (Sennheiser HD 650 for $45?)

    Well... I caved...   Decided to order a pair of these Pioneers to compare with the Takstar HI 2050s (which are still on the way). This will be the first time I've ordered two headphones at once so I'm a little nervous, but I feel that I needed to jump for it in order make the most...

    Bit Perfect Audio from Linux

    Hey, hopefully this is the right place to ask this... does anyone know of a way to get finer control over a system-wide EQ, such as the PulseAudio Multiband EQ?   It *only* has 15 bands by default, but ideally I'd prefer much finer control to tweak specific frequencies to my liking. Is there...

    Pioneer Se-A1000 vs Takstar Hi-2050 (Open Headphones)

    By the way, on the topic of EQing the Takstar HI 2050s, vodkex made some accurate adjustments to get rid of some of the peaks he heard.   Both of his posts include a screenshot of his parametric EQ settings, apparently they work very well and make these phones sound more natural:  ...

    Pioneer Se-A1000 vs Takstar Hi-2050 (Open Headphones)

    Nice write up, thanks!   Gives a decent impression of the character of both headphones.   My Takstars are coming in a couple of days and if I do eventually get hold of the Pioneers, I'll make sure to do my own comparison. Maybe along with some tips and tricks on how to get a smoother...

    Pioneer SE-A1000 (Sennheiser HD 650 for $45?)

    Awesome, that would be great if you could compare. I will be using my PC with a fairly 'accurate' multiband EQ in order to get the most refinement out of my Takstars if that's what they need. I also have a J3 media player which has a very good EQ albeit it only 6 bands, so not as controllable as...

    Pioneer SE-A1000 (Sennheiser HD 650 for $45?)

    Quote: Just goes to show you how subjective this whole business is... cheers for your input. If I happen across a better price for the Pioneers I may snap them up for the sake of direct comparison, but I do have a feeling the 2050s will do what I want them to do without much fuss. It's good...

    Pioneer SE-A1000 (Sennheiser HD 650 for $45?)

    Thanks Me x3 that's exactly the kind of response I was looking for. I really think these two open headphones should be considered and compared against each other a lot more often as they both seem to be unmatched at their current price, not to mention similar in performance.   I have to say...

    Pioneer SE-A1000 (Sennheiser HD 650 for $45?)

    Hey, fairly long time lurker here, sort of an on and off visitor to head-fi whenever I'm looking at new gear! Very interesting thread, albeit a controversial one... if the price in the UK was a little more in line with the US equivalent then I probably would have taken the plunge without coming...
