I recently visited the doctor and he told me that the tube (forgot the name) connecting my ears and throat is blocked. So he advised me to try and blow air hard with my ears and mouth closed. So i tried repeating the same experiment with my InEars fitted in my ears. I noticed an temporary...

I got a mail from richer sounds two days back which said that the Teach UD-H01 are available for 149.95 GBP even though their website indicated a price of 199 GBP. So i reserved with them over phone and was able to get one for 149.95. I think it is a very good price for a decent balanced DAC...

I have just visited my doctor and he suggested that i take up a hearing test. So i took the test and found that my left ear does not read the high frequency quite well. So my doctor strongly recommended that i stop listening to headphones and take some vitamin tablets and my hearing should...

Hi.. I read couple of comments in this forum that the new K701s are more bass heavy. One guys even says that they are bassier than his HD600. Can any recent owners of a brand new K701 please comment on what they feel about their K701? If AKG has increased the bass, then i wonder how it affects...

I just found a link where they sell Sennheiser HD800 for 650 GBP. I think this is the cheepest price i have found so far. I did speak to them and they said that they have about 6 in stock. So i ordered very quickly. Now have to wait for them to arrive :)  ...

 Hi   I was just wondering whether the RS1 or SR225 is more neutral. I currently own the SR225 and have owned the RS1 previously. Based on my memory, the SR225 sounds more neutral but i dont have the RS1 to compare. Hence would like impressions from someone who has owned both in the past or...

Hi   I have been listening to my K702 for the last two weeks and i have owned the mighty K1000 in the past. The K702 at the moment is pretty well matched with the matrix m-stage. To my ears, the K702 amped by the matrix m-stage sounds strikingly similar to a poorly amped K1000. This led me...

Hi   Just for fun, i tried connecting the K1000 directly to the RCA out of the DAC Magic. I was expecting the sound to be very brittle and harsh but to my suprise, it is not harsh at all. I can hear some distortion but the sound is pretty decent and audible. I also find the sound to be very...

Hi   I was browsing the internet when i found that the HP2 retailed for 495 USD when the RS1 has always be at 695 USD. This got me thinking whether Grado intended the HP2 to be an inferior can to the RS1 and hence priced them less. But here in head-fi the HP2 is regarded to be much...

Hi    My source is Lavry DA10 and i was wondering which version of Beyerdynamic DT880 would suit best.  With the Lavry, i have both xlr and headphone outputs and i dont plan on buying a dedicated amp. Please help me choose a model.

Hi I am researching whether the Lavry DA10 can power the AKG K1000 to good listening levels. I bought the K1000 and have only the Lavry DA10 to power them. I am on very tight budget and dont want to invest in an amp for now. As per the D10 manual, setting the lavry to its maximum volume...

Hi I am researching to buy a suitable amp for my GS1000 and stumbled upon the SPL Auditor. Does the SPL Auditor offer the same sound quality as the Phonitor? Does it offer a good value for the price? I hope that they should sound great with the GS1000.

Hi I just acquired a grado gs1000 and have ordered for a set of bowl pads. I feel that the GS1000 with standard pads is not as satisfying as the RS2(i sold them some time back and starting to miss them). i am curious to know which Grado headphone will sound similar to GS1000 with bowl pads...
