The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

Dear music Fans, it is my great pleasure to join to your community.

Due to my family situation I started to use headphones, and now I'm looking for smth that could...

Hi everyone   This is my first post and glad to finally join the forum after years of reading   I was wondering if some people who are more knowledgeable than me could help me in choosing a headphone that I will use ideally at work and for travelling to work.   I need a closed back...

Hello Everyone,   I'm new to this forum but have been snooping around for a bit.  I'm an audiophile but have never had any interest in headphones, so I basically no nothing about them.  I've been struck with the urge for a descent portable setup for times when my iPhone just doesn't cut it...

Hi guys, I need some guidance choosing my first set of custom IME.   I've had some experiences with IMEs in the past but I always went back to full size cans due to discomfort after long listening sessions.  I currently own shure e500, UE triplefi 10, etymotic er4-s and use them...

I posted this in the reccomendations thread and doubt it is going to get any recognition. That subforum is too busy. I just wanted some opinions on my next portables;   I am in the market for some over-ear or on-ear headphones under 250 that meet these qualities (in order of importance)...

Hey All,   I am after a full size over the ear portable headphone easy to drive and was wondering about what one of these would be the best value for money?   Beyerdynamic T5p for $1050 or Beyerdynamic T70p for $400?   I have read reviews and know the T5p is better but is the...

Which portable headphone has reference class/hi-fi sound quality? I'm planning to buy one ultimate portable headphone.

*****POLL MISTAKE: MEANT LCD-2 NOT LCD-3!!***** I have a $1000 and my choices at this point are huge. Basically I have 6 headphones that I'm considering buying. The Mr. Speakers Alpha Prime, Beyerdynamic T5p, Beyerdynamic T1, Hifiman HE-560, Fostex TH-900, Audeze lcd-2. I would prefer open...

So I have gone feet first into headphones and bought, auditioned, and sold a lot of headphones in the last month. I don't claim to be an audiophile.... as I started with some HD280s, then moved to HD558 and found a huge difference... so I started reading reviews/head-fi and all of a sudden I had...

Hey all!   Still pretty new here... I have a question regarding an issue that I'm surprised no one has discussed (or at least that my 'advanced search' skills were unable to find).   The issue I'm talking about is the perceived curve vs the actual curve of headphones in comparison to...

Besides the Tesla technology, what is the different between them like T90 and DT 900? On the other hand, I have a T90 one. If I want to buy a new one, is T1 a good choice for me to upgrade? Is the T1 significantly better than T90? Or AKG 702A is better? I always listen to classical musics and I...

When I say gaming headphone, I don't mean that I want a mic, volume control or any other external feature. I want a can with mostly linear bass extension - flat sub bass that doesn't recess with midbass that doesn't interfere with male vocals. I also want imaging that allows me to accurately...

I owned my D5000 and T5P for half a year. Now it's time to have something different. I'm looking for a pair of headphones coming as a complementation instead of a replacement. Any recommendation between K812 and GS1000i? Or any other cans?

Hello everyone, I'm really bummed today as it seems my Sennheiser Momentums were stolen.  I LOVED them in just about every possible way.  I liked that they were only 18ohm impedance which meant they were easy to drive and could easily be enjoyed via my iPhone, mac, etc.  I loved the sound...

New to the forum and I am hoping to hear some opinions from folks who have maybe heard both. I currently own the B&W P5 headphones but want to move into an IEM. The basis for these 2 options is simply that these are the 2 I have available to me through a rewards site I frequent. Thanks in...

So i got the Beyerdynamic T5Ps and i am currently looking for a portable amp. I am not so experienced with headphones or amps for that matter so looking for some help  when it comes to choseing the right amp. Been looking at the Beyerdynamic A200p so around that price range 400$. Appreciate...

So as the title says i am wondering if its possible to change the cable to the T5p, and if it does is it easy to do it youreself? 

They are both around the same price, fostex being a bit more expensive. I'm looking for a high end closed back driven without a dedicated amp. I have narrowed it down to these two. My focus is on comfort and sound quality. I want something on the neutral side but smooth/non fatiguing. Comfort...

Now I'm considering getting a pair of top class close-back headphones. Can somebody tell me the major difference between t5p and d7000? And what will be the second-hand prices? Thanks!

-General discussion and praise thread-   This beautiful headphone is in every way a flagship as it is the flagship of Beyerdynamic's portable headphone line. In this thread let's let people know why they belong in this forum!

Tesla technology worse the price?  Can get them for about $1200.  Any good?  or are their any cheaper prices out there?
