    Beyer Dynamic T70 - Barely a Beyer? (Review)

    I have owned 2 pairs of T70p and for me they are the best headphones available for outdoor use with an Ipod (I live abroad and have no means for a sound system currently). Having worn open design headphones in the past (RS1 and K701, (Senn HD800, not worn outside)) with mini DAC and amp, I...

    RS-1 Appreciation Thread starts here!!!!

    I've owned a pair for about a week now and to be honest I'm not 100% happy with them. I'm currently running them through an ipod (FLAC) with LOD and a GS Voyager until I can afford an upgrade and they seem a bit shrill and harsh in the top end. I wouldn't say they've been burned in yet so I'm...

    On 'favourite headphones'

    21. Start to spend excessive amounts on minor upgrades that give questionable, improvement in sound quality, but make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, thus increasing overall enjoyment nonetheless. Cable lifts anyone??? My favourite upgrade, that I will most definitely never buy. Placebo is...

    I agree that they will not be at their best when out and about, but I must say that wearing good quality open headphones outdoors at night is quite an amazing experience. I used to go hiking a lot, there is no silence like night time outdoor silence. I do have Shure SE530's so I'm good on the...

    Well, they are on their way to Seoul now, I think I'll just wear them around my local area a few times, depends how brave I feel. I'm desperate for some decent sound quality, the se530's just don't cut it for me. I like them, but they fall seriously short when compared to decent open headphones...

    Chud, they are 325i's, silver and approx 5 months old in excellent condition. Where are you from? The headphones are currently in the UK, I can post worldwide. PM me

    I bought some rs1i's too, they were an absolute steal. I bought them brand new at less than half rrp (they retail at £695 in the UK and I got them for £285 posted) I couldn't turn them down at that price. Might be selling the 325's now, I'm not gonna get chance to A/B them because my dad has to...

    The best cable for Senn HD800, Grado PS1000, Denon AH-D7000, AKG 701/2

    Personally I Think cabling is important to some extent. I remember hating the constrained vocals on an older system and put it down to some cheap throwaway cables that were tiding me over for a week. When I bought new cables, the soundstage and vocals opened up so I believe you should at least...

    Grado Owners, would you be so kind

    Thanks for the reply's. I bought some 325's yesterday, I'm going to see how I feel when I get them, if all else fails I can fall back on my se530's which is not the end of the world. I'll post pics of me when I get them. Now to grow my hair. They were at the right money, but I'm still watching...

    Are there any full-size that are considered portable?

    In the past I have worn AKG k701's but I would not recommend. Most headphones can be considered portable, it just depends how well you can deal with people staring at you (or laughing in the case of the 701's). Personally I don't give a $%&* what people think of me so portable covers a broad...

    Grado Owners, would you be so kind

    With a bit more make up I would probably look a bit like that. I already own some se530's so I'm convered on the IEM front, I'm after some full sized headphones for indoor and light stroll use i.e. for half an hour wondering about or when I sleep out etc... Preferably I will be getting the...

    Grado Owners, would you be so kind

    Hi all, I'm currently seriously considering buying either a pair of 325i's or some rs1's but I live in Seoul and can't find a stockist to try them out. I have owned a pair of 80's and loved them then I bought a pair of AKG k701's. I am thinking of wearing them outdoors a little but I don't want...

    I Need Help Buying Portable Full Size Headphones

    Emooze, I think I'd rather have the girls legs wrapped around my ears rather than the headphones though, lol. They don't look too bad though, I'm guessing she is quite petite so I think I could pull them off. I'm surrounded by insanely dressed people everyday anyway.

    I Need Help Buying Portable Full Size Headphones

    Cheers for the reply's. I'm pretty respectful when it comes to confined spaces so I never played my AKG's loud if I was on a bus or subway etc... I would much rather buy open as I am already suffering from the se530 IEM's. I need them for my flat also as this will probably be where I play...

    I Need Help Buying Portable Full Size Headphones

    Ok... some/most of you will think I'm slightly crazy, I prefer passionate but anyway. I'm after getting the best walk around portable system I can, budget is high within reason i.e. under $1000. Previously I owned a pair of AKG K701's and a Graham Slee Voyager using an ipod () with Lossless...

    Amazing Portable Amp for Grado 325i's? - Help!

    Are you planning on wearing you 325's outside? I'm thinking about buying some 325's or rs1's but I'm worried about looking an idiot. Mahogany in the outside world seems a little too much. Do you think they could be pulled off without being too overt? I used to wear k701's outside and I warn...

    Headphone Sightings 2

    I used to wear K701's in the wild, I wouldn't recommend it unless you deal well with people laughing in your face. Korean kids seem to like wearing cans that look similar to old aviation ones but I don't think they are of any real substance sonically other than looking cool. I bought some...
