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...

Hello :)   I have been using my HD25-1's along with an Apogee Duet for years now, feeding from a variety of macs via firewire (320 mp3's, mixture of genres)   Although I love the sound I get, I feel like it might be time for an upgrade. Besides, firewire is going the way of the dodo...

Before I cut the stock 1/4" plug off does it have 4 wires at the terminal end? I know the 7000D did. Are there 2 blacks a red and a white? What's what? both blacks - the red r+ white l+? Thanks   I will be doing this to the non in-line remote/mic cable. 

I've come into this headphone game a bit late in life, and have neem using a pair of sennheiser Hd25s that I've had for a decades! I've upgraded how I listen (lossless) and bought an ALO National headphone amp... all good until I  listened to the system through some open grado headphones in a...

Can anybody who has these give me their impressions on them when compared to other headphones within a similar or even lower price bracket?   I'm really confused because I haven't really heard too much on these from my friends on the forum and I KIIIINDA like the way they look.   Thanks! :D

I need a new pair of headphones, the problem is, I don't know which pair to get. I have the HD-650s, because I primarily listen to rock, but I would also like to listen to some hiphop and the more bass heavier genres, occasionally. I have been looking at the Denon AH-D600, because I can get them...

I'm looking to purchase a set of closed portable headphones with detachable cords (preferably) or at least cables that aren't long enough that you can't take them around.   Not looking to power these with an amp. Just going to listen to music straight from my iX   Price range can be...

Ear cups need to be big, so they don't pinch my ears.   The ear cups need to be sound blocking (so hard plastic or whatever is necessary)   Background:  I am so desperate to find something, that I am willing to pay $2,000 or build it myself.  I have asked friends and family to help and...

Hi everybody. I want to buy a new pair of headphone, I already have Beats Detox, I know that are VERY overpriced, but i bought just for fashon accessory, so now i want to buy a better headphone without looking so much at the estetic. I like a lot how my Beats sound, just to give you an idea of...

sum it up quick... sounds like a $175 headphone. Denon should be ashamed of themselves. i bought in to the "they need significant burn in time", and didnt return them in a timely manner. now im stuck with them. im majorly disappointed with these headphones. they're going on ebay this week...

Red = Denon AH-D7100 Blue = Shure SE846   Based on these graph it would appear the Shure SE846 with the blue filter has a similar sound signature with respect to the full-sized Denon headphone with the Denon sounding more neutral. Based on my ears, it's actually quite the oppositie, the Shure...

Hi Gentlemen,   I think I am now addicted to headphones. Just like you! ;) So I plan to buy one real good headphone (ok I think, there it will not stop). First I have to save some money for it, but as everybody here knows it starts with reading a lot of reviews, tests and forumreadings (and...

Hello Head-Fi,   It is about time I registered here, especially now that having a floorstanding stereo setup is no longer feasible for me and am restricted to headphones only.   I am currently trying to decide what purchase would be best for me, debating between three headphones: Ultrasone...

“Music (…) gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” Plato   As a music enthusiast I’m on a permanent quest for really great music, for those rare moments in (recorded:-) human history where musicians are able to...

i know this has been asked a million times but im stuck. this will be first real desktop headphone amp. i like the ability with the A1 to power computer and high efficient speakers. my only experience with tubes are high gain metal amps lol. i know the tube is for the preamp not for headhone...

Hello fellow Head-Fi'ers,   I'm in a "tough" situation here and need some help to make this decision ;)   I currently own the AH-D600 and an Audiolab M-DAC. I'm very pleased with the DENONs - actually the only thing I dislike about them, is the not-so-exclusive design and choice of...

...returning home after a long and hard working day you quickly rush to the shrine and ...there it is... your favourite toy...errrr... or second favourite, or whatever...   Anyway... your set-up is more than just about listening music? It is passion for design, fine mechanics, precision...

Hello,   After reading some reviews on de the denon ah D-7100 about having good detail etc etc I decided to buy one. The sound is OK, I expected more from it, like many I think. Unfortunately I cant return it because of a hygiene policy. Still I would like to buy an amp for it since Im stuck...

In the UK the D7100 are the same price as the Alpha Dog or AKG K712. My options are buy the D7100 and use my D600 for portable use or buy the M100 again for portability(instead of the D7100) If the D600 and D7100 are too similar then I may reconsider.

I've been struggling between these two for some time. Just want some opinions from you guys.   First, here's the music I listen. 30% of punk/rock, favorite band is Sum 41/Yellowcard/Green Day. 25% of rap, 2Pac/DMX/Lupe Fiasco/Eminem are my favorite. 15% of electronic and dance music, for...

thinking of going for the D7100 as my home headphone and use my D600 as my portable. I have spare D600 cables so i'm just wondering if they will work for the 7100?

Hi everyone   I was wondering if anyone could recommend gaming headphones in the $400 to $500 bracket( actually I am in the uk so that would be £400-£500) but would prefer to spend less but ill throw some options that I have been looking at.   I do prefer bosomy sound but not at the expense...

Hi head-fi community. I am relatively new here and this is my first thread I have created. I was just wondering if anyone has both the Ah-d5000 and Ahd-7100 and has compared them. I just purchased a pair of Ah-d5000's for £100 and am extremely happy with them but i was also able to get the...

I am looking at the headphones from the poll below and I know a little about them and tested some of them out very very briefly. What I am looking for is to pick one headphone from the list that is best. To me the best headphone would be one that is very detailed and can work well with any...
