Just curious... or are you guys only going to satisfied until you've gotten the Stax SR009? ...Because I've pretty much reached my pinnacle, the Alessandro MS-Pro's. They are definitely end-game for me! Heaps of clarity and detail yet doesn't render My Bloody Valentine's 'Loveless'...

Im in doubt between two things: Buying a hi-fi open can and a mid-fi closed can, or buying a hi-fi closed can and a mid-fi open can. I can either have an ultimate open can and a decent closed can, or I can have an ultimate closed can and a decent open can. I'm willing to spend 1000 dollars on...

i was looking to buy some headphones and read ath m50 is best. Then i read the A900x is better than the m50. Then i read its better to get ad1000 or ad2000 rather than the A900x. So what is actually the best. Please break it down.

Hey Head-fi, just want a quick input on my next upgrade. I'm currently using two main headphones - the Denon D5000 and AKG K701, hooked up to an O2 amp. I don't have enough cash for high-end stuff, but I'm looking at headphones around the $400-700 range.   TBH, this will be my first purchase...

Hi,   So I've been the happy owner of a pair the Audio Technica's mentioned above for some time now. A HUGE thank you to everyone on the boards that helped guide me to that decision. I have absolutely loved the headphones since purchase.   That said, I think it's time for me to get...

Hi folks,   I'm just curious about what you know (not think without really having actually heard!) about open headphones with a really tight bass.   I only ask for OPEN headphones. No semi open and of cause no closed ones.   What do I mean with 'tight bass'?   I don't mean how...

Intro I'd previously planned on not writing any more "reviews" on Head-Fi, but as I've learned, things rarely go as planned. I guess I'll just say this is my latest one of the Shure SRH1840, which I recently bought, mostly because of the raving on it by some very experienced Head-Fiers. The...

I currently own W1000X, K702, DT880 and TF10x6. I'm thirsty for even better headphones, but I really don't know what to buy.   I really like the mids and highs of W1000X, well defined and engaging. However, when it comes soundstage, I just feel W1000X doesn't cut it. It sounds a bit chaotic...

I have been thinking about getting a pair of ATH-AD2000s. I have a pair of ATH-A900LTD that I really like. Has anyone compared the two? If so, could you tell me the differences and similarities (besides the fact that one is closed and the other is not ).

Oh, first post and first thread here so please be gentle I hope :). First headphone was some really cheap Logitechs which I don't even have anymore, gave it to a friend. Then I got the Sennheiser HD518 which was a huge upgrade but after using it for about a year I wanted more.. A...

In the review below, ASR mentioned that the HD800 and T1 do not perform in the $1k category of headphones. Since the thread is locked, I would appreciate if ASR or anyone can recommend headphones that perform at their price point. Are there any headphones that sound almost similar to HD800 or T1...

I don't know did someone else ask this question before. I show my history first. HD205>HD449>TF10>A900>K701>AD2000>ESP950>T70p

In the June 2008 issue, Sam Tellig sings the praises of the Audio-Technica ATH-AD700, which he scored for ~$110 delivered from NewEgg.com (they've still got inventory). Some select quotes: "almost as open as, and maybe even more airy than, the far more expensive AKG 701"; "almost pulled off the...

Hey there!   Every Chicago headphone store website I have visited has plenty of Grado RS1's, but I am having great difficulty finding a Chicago headphone store with the AD2000's available. I wanted to preview both headphones to see which one was better suited to my tastes. Do any of you know...

OK, so just by reading the topic subject line, many of you are thinking that I have no clue what I'm looking for. And you're right, I kinda don't, so hoping some of you can help.   What I want is a solid pair of headphones that I can use as monitors mostly and also for casual listening. Yes...

Hi everyone, Newbie alarm - go easy on me please!   I am taking my first steps towards audiophile bliss and have just invested in an Audio Technica ATH-W1000X, which I am hoping will arrive in a week or so. As I mainly listen to (Jazz and Fusion) music on my computer I would like to buy a...

AD2000 vs W5000 vs K701 vs SA5000 If you were to choose between these phones, which one would it be? (Don't concider the price. It doesn't matter) I listen to all kinds of music except jazz, classical and orchestra (like many head-fiers do..) Mostly trance.. Thoughts on other phones I've...

[ Intro ] For a long time, I'd been wanting to see if burn-in really exists for headphones, and not too long ago I jumped at the chance by ordering up another K701 on top of the one I already owned. Does burn-in really exist? While this probably won't turn skeptics into believers or believers...

My beloved ad2000s bit the dust the other day and one of the metal wires seemed to have broken off. Is there replacements I can get for this or should I try fixing it with superglue? Picture not for the faint of heart. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  

Begin rant Okay. This is what happened... I've bought the HD650 and the K701 about 2 months ago. Couldn't make a choice between them, so why not buy both! Also got a HF-1, Beyer DT770/80 at this moment in time. They're connected to my NAD cd player (and sometimes the Zhaolu DAC 1.3) to the...

My first pair of Grado cans was a pair of SR80s from the late 90s. I appreciated the sound they were going for, but they really didn't wow me. I still used my Audiotechnica A900s for almost everything. However, when I sold my SR80s and bought a pair of SR225s (no i) I fell in love with that...

Another awesome review over at Headfonia:   http://www.headfonia.com/audio-technica-ad-series-ad300-ad700-ad900-ad1000prm-ad2000/

Today, I got curious and wanted to see what it looked like underneath the earpad on my HE-4. Well, after I took a look, I attempted to get the earpad on with no success. In fact, I snapped the super cheap plastic ring underneath the earpad, rendering it unable to attach back on. When I heard...

Just managed to get my hands on a pair of new AD2000s at a relatively reasonable price down under and am LOVING every moment with them through the DACport. In fact i'm loving them so much for the genre of music i'm listening to (Alternative, Indie, Rock, Acoustic) that i'm contemplating on...
