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...

Introducing, from the New ''X'' Art series, the ATH-A900X   Hello everyone!   I’ve been a long time lurker on head-fi.  As of this post, I’ve barely contributed 315ish posts over the course of 5 years.  Having been a member for this long, you can imagine how many pairs of headphones I...

Guys, I need your voice.   I had W1000x for a year now and I like the clear sound these cans provide, and pretty much thats why I bought it, recently I read a comparison between W1000x, W3000 and W5000 and was told that W1000x is definitely out of competition among its brothers and I've...

A quick question for the knowledgable Grado people out there.   I have a pair of Grado SR80i's which I have modded by removing the membrane from the front baffle, punching 5 holes in the rear driver membrane and a set of L-Cush ear pads. I am also waiting for some wooden cups and a rewire to...

I'm currently have a Little Dot MKIII to drive my LCD2 and W1000x. The sound is good but i think not optimally. I want to go a class above and buy a new tube amp. My budget is 700USD. I read a lot about the Schiit Lyr and the Woo Audio 6. Very interesting because of the nice design is the Little...

I do not know what to look for, and from researching different types of headphones I can NOT figure out what type would best suit my favorite genre of music.   I am a computer programmer by day (and by night :'( ) and I listen to chillwave music, and sometimes classical.    I don't know...

My (classical) music loving friend is hard to move on spending his hard earned $.  He has a very nice Rotel CDP which I've listened to using a Benchmark DAC1 & HD 800 headphones so can verify it is good quality audio coming out.   However he baulks at spending too much but I think I've...

Hey,   So my brother - without having any idea what he was getting into - approached me about getting some headphones. Now, normally I'm the one trying to get other people to put down their mainstream, sub-par audio equipment, so naturally I jumped at this chance. Before anyone gets the...

I have a pair of Grado SR-60i.  Since I've never put on a pair of headphones that costs more, I find them very nice sounding.  They are kind of 'get my foot in the door' headphones into the higher fidelity sounding headphones.   My question is, how much more do I have to spend on another...

Hello just like to know if it is worth to replace a musical fidelity xcan v3 for an audio taylor jade If someone know it would be great Thanks with ath w1000x

Hello, i ve been reading a lot of pages to figure out what amp would be great to replace my musical fidelity xcan v3 for audio technica w1000x set up (budget 400 $) I was quite satisfied by the xcan v3 but i think it is getting old (i rolled tubes but still have noise when plugging in and...

First of all, I am new here and I dont know right ways here, so I am sorry if I miss smth.   Since I got some money to spare I got an idea to get some good sounding headphones. Firstly I would say I want some upgrade from Senns HD595 I used to have (sold them few months ago). My primary...

Thats right folks, walmart sells $600 headphones...  athw1000x   no less   or you could "settle" for the Sony mdrsa5000

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...

There's a buying itch that needs to be scratched but first I'd like to hear from anyone with direct experience of the ATH-W1000X against the W1000 and W5000. If I get a apair of W1000X am I going to have a noticable difference from my other 2 AT woodies. From what I have read there is a...

So I have been debating between a few different sets of headphones and I am wondering if what I am proposing will work or not.   The headphones that I have been looking at are the Beyerdynamic DT-880's (32/250/600 OHM) as well as the Audio Technica ATH-AD900's, and the Sennheiser HD...

Are there any closed headphones that have a grado like sound?

Hey!    My actual headphone is a Beyerdynamic DT880 @600 ohm. It is great for classical music or jazz but I think for Rock and Metal there are better headphone out there. What I need in comparison to my Beyer is more and faster treble and livelier voices and guitars, overall more musican...

Hey guys, this is my first time making a serious comparison between headphones and because I don't have much of the audio lingo down yet, I hope you guys can bear with me as I go through my listening experiences with these two great cans!   For this comparison, I listened to several 320kbps...

I've been into headphones for a couple years now. Started out with Senn HD555. Then Denon D2000 (which I no longer have ). And now I'm rocking Ultrasone Pro 2500. My 2500s have been serving me well but I'm craving for an upgrade and I'm coming to you guys for help!   Headphones in...

From what I've been able to find, the following is a chronological list of Audio-Technica "top of the line" (limited or not) headphones: W10VTG - 5/21/96 W10LTD - 12/1/97 W11JPN - 12/1/99 W11R - 12/1/00 W2002 - 10/21/01 L3000 - 11/21/03 W5000 - 12/2/05 I may be missing some. Based on...

  Hello : )   I already hear some of you, at the mere sight of the title, shouting and crying, saying that you don't buy 600€ to use them unamped, that a mobile phone will sound better, that i should burn in the fires of hell. Please read (a bit) further (or just skip the post and read the...

Okay guys. This is my first ever 'review' so excuse me if I don't use a lot of the usual head-fi lingo going on here. First I would like to state a few opinions before I go into the gear. In my experience, music and equipment  preferences are highly subjective to personal taste and mood.  The...

  Hi, I am looking for a complete set of headphones, Intended primarily to listen the following music styles: vocal, acoustic, jazz and blues. I heard a number of headphones: DT880 a bit dry sound and very weak bass, HD600 musical sound but if there was a little more color in mid was...
