I currently own the JH13, but after using them more for this purpose, I'm finding that they're hyped a little in one way or another and wondering if their are IEMs out there that are truer to the source, which is important in my work.  I have a one-room studio and am constantly micing...

Any suggestions for some comfortable headphones with low clamping force? The headphones will be used with a smartphone. Supra-aural or circum-aural designs are not the priority. Comfort and low clamping force is top priority. Sound quality is secondary.   I have used the DT880 for some...

Thanks for all the posts and PMs, but I have made a decision and am closing off this offer.  Wish I had more to give away to the rest, but I don't atm.       Lord Bless and Merry Christmas,   doug p.

Greetings, although this is my first post, this forum has already made significant dents in my wallet.  I would love some advise on purchasing a new set on phones.  I currently own the Miles Davis Tributes, Monster Coppers, UE Triple fi 10's and Velodyne Vpluses. I listen to FLAC and Apple...

Unfortunately my tv downstairs is right under our bedroom so i literaly have watch tv or movies at 10 out 50. Drives me crazy! A few days ago i thought i wonder if they make...

Packing up my HD650s to ship them out for sale in the morning. I can't help but feel like I'm breaking up with a good friend.  It's weird, I'm constantly buying, selling, and upgrading my electronics and gadgets but I only ever feel an emotional attachment to speakers and headphones. Every time...

 Once upon a time when I had a "job" (deployed to Baghdad) and I had money, I had a beyer 990 600ohm set of cans with black dragon rewire. Now I had a good ole sony x7esd for a source and a woo audio 2 AND a cary 300 F1. Now listening to these cans, they had an awful muffled sound. Now I tried...

I thought I'd start a new thread so we can gather results from all the Headphones we've tried with the Pono  (good or bad) and any fixes that took them from bad to great.   The other day I got the 650's and gave them a spin on my Marantz CD Player connected to my Little Dot MKIII tube Amp. I...

Hi All,   First Post. I am a long time audio nut.  I have had the likes of Levinson, Classe, JM Lab and etc... for my 2 channel needs.  A few years ago, I settled in on my Revel Salon, Jeff Rowland, Transparent set-up and love it.  In that time, I found that having a wide/deep/accurate sound...

Looking for a pair of full-size cans for home listening, will be driven off of a TEAC A-H01.   Budget is around £300, and I'm ideally looking for something sounding similar to ESW10. ESW10 is great for portable listening, but gets uncomfortable quickly while sitting at the computer working &...

Greetings, after all the crawling through threads here for the past couple of weeks, I'm ready to ask my first question. First of all, I don't consider myself an audiophile, but just someone who understands some technical stuff and am looking for the ultimate sound setup.    In the past I've...

I have been looking for a new set of headphones for a while, and have received a lot of suggestions. I have already excluded some, but there is still a good bunch to choose from. I will use my headphones mainly for music, but they will also be used for movies. I prefer detailed, clear and...

Hey everyone, i'm trying to decide whether i should upgrade to the audeze lcd-2s or not. I have the hd650s now, and although i love them, they don't really suit my needs for when i listen to bass heavy electronic music. The mid-bass is there, but i can tell that there is a huge dropoff when it...

Now i have Sennheiser HD 515 i want to go for something new what about sennheiser hd 598  I like Rock, Pop, R&B, Vocal, Instrumental music. Recomend me Headphones worth 200-250$ ? Huge Diference will be if i upgrade from HD 515 (55$)  to 200-250$ headphones?

At the moment I only have a budget of < £100 for some headphones, currently I have the CAL! which are ok but I miss my old HD650 sennheiser open sound etc.   So I was thinking of getting some of the new sennheiser line... Either the 518 or 558...   I am leaning towards the 518 due to...

Freshmen for over- ear headphones: Do you have any suggestions for sennheiser headphones? Budget: below $100-150, I do not mind buying used headphones, but I do not know what place is good for buying used one. If there are no good headphones in sennheiser around my budget, would you mind...

Hey guys, I love how comfy my Sennheiser HD598 is and I've had the HD595 previously with the foam removal mod but I feel like I'm missing bass with these headphones. Reason why I haven't got a Grado is because I hear they are uncomfortable and I'm really picky about the comfort of my headsets...

I have had my HD650's for a while now (about 3 months or more) and they sound great coming straight out of my motherboard which is advertised with a 600 ohm amp; here is my motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K23BYCI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1   I just got the...

Preface   I own both these headphones, and they are my two main open back at-home listening headphones. I have done reviews of each of them, and due to requests, I've decided to do a comprehensive comparison review of the two.      Background of the two headphones   The background and...

A little back ground. I have the Senn HD650 and the Beyer DT880. Like the sound of the Beyer's more. They just sound a lot more clear.. However they lack low end for me. In any case both just didn't hit the mark for me. As it would stand I would look to get the T1 but the price is out of reach...

Ok, here is long waited review for "What is going on with EML 5U4G Mesh Plate deal". I am sure a lot of people have same question: Is it worthy to spend $2xx dollars instead to buy NOS tubes for around $100? When I was emailing George Lenz @ tubesusa.com. He said: "EML 5U4G Mesh Plate is the...

Hey guys! As this is my source for all things audiophile I figure I'd ask you all for some advice. I need to upgrade my headphones. I currently have Sennheiser HD555 (with the 595 filter mod) I know these aren't the best headphones in the world, however I have grown to love the surprisingly...

Hi, I currently using a SHR840 right now. I like the cans a lot, but I want to spend more for another headphone. My max budget is like 500 to 650 dollar. As the title said; I like to get the best out of my Fiio x1 player, and E12 amp.    I hope you can really help me out with this.   (it's a...

Hello everyone!    I haven't owned an amazing set of headphones since the 80's, and I am having a hard time figuring out what to buy.  I have spent many hours reading reviews, forums, etc. and need some help with this.    The easiest way for me to let you know what I am looking for is to...
