Is it the Z1000?

Love my Denon D2000 but just to large for walking around town abd on the plane. Anything else I could buy? Say around $300

Hello everyone, I tried doing a search but didn't quite get the answer so I'm hoping someone can chime in.   Skip to the bolded part to skip background information, thanks!   I currently have a pair of Sony MDR-7520 and I quite enjoy them. However, I find that I can't use them in a...

looking for a straight Sony cable (non-coiled) for the MDR-7520 or a non-apple plain cable for the H6 headphone. Would like to buy either phone but must have the alternate cable mentioned. Thanks for your help.

Hello,   I am hoping someone could help me out in finding a pair of headphones that would best suit my needs...   1) Price Range: $250-350 2) Over-Ear, Closed (maybe Noise Canceling?) that are good for all types of music... I listen to a lot of progressive house as well as a lot of...

So it has come down to GradoLabs  SR325i VS Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium VS Sennheiser HD650 (I'm getting HD800 later this year so I wanna avoid these for now) VS Hifiman 400 VS Sony MDR-7520 VS AKG A-701  They are all in my budget which is under 400. Could someone point me to ones you think...

Getting right to the point.   Used for:   -producing music, especially electronic. -listening to music for pleasure (obviously) -gaming (counter strike, horror games, etc.) -closed-back -analog, not USB -as flat as it can get -soundstage not too important, but sure why not...

I definitely do not consider myself an audiophile yet, but I am starting to develop my ear for it. I am on a serious search for some new cans. I've owned the Audio Technica M50s which I loved, but the wiring frayed in the input jack. So I am planning on getting those completely re-cabled because...

It has turned out to be a particularly hot summer this year, and I am finding my MDR-7520 too hot to wear for hours at a time now. I don't think there is anything that can be done about the headband, but the earpads are replaceable. 1. Does anyone know whether the MDR-7520/Z1000 can use the...

Just like a car enthusiast has that perfect garage full of cars in his/her dreams, I'm thinking audio enthusiasts probably have the same thoughts on their guilty pleasure. I figured this would be a cool thread for a couple reasons. It may give us ideas on what headphones compliment each other...

Hi guys, It is no secret that I absolutely love my HE-560 and RE-400 [essentially a slightly n-shaped HE-560 lite for a steal price!]. Now that I have my IEM and home full-size covered for some time, I'd love to find a portable headphone, which sounds similar to either of them. My definition...

I noted in a post in Macedonian Hero's mega thread on closed portable type headphones that I would start a thread in order to help folks that were contemplating purchase of a pair of closed circumaural portable headphones.  Many potential buyers like "on the ears" or supra-aural headphones and...

Hi there, I am currently looking to upgrade my headset to something more comfortable and better sounding. Right now I am using the Astro A40s with the SPDIF Output on my Asus Xonar Essence STX (When I plug them in to the 3.5mm jacks I get this loud screeching noise) plugged in to the Astro...

Hello,   I commute 4 hours a day and am looking for a pair of cans on the go. My source is Theorem 720 DAC/AMP taking it's digital signal from my iphone 5. Headphones used currently are Ultrasone Pro 900 with silver plated OCC copper cable. I love the sound however the isolation and leakage...

All-purpose studio headphones are closed (for monitoring) and must translate well to near-field monitors (for mixing/mastering). Ideally, they should also be comfortable and durable. I thought it could be interesting to make a list of the top contenders, regardless of price. I try to list only...

So I got these today and WOW...   These are the most neutral / balanced headphones I've heard, surpassing the MDR-7520, HD600, and HE-500.   Surprisingly resolving of micro-details. Very transparent.   There is an amazing sense of coherence and sweet balance from top to botton with...

i was looking at the sony xperia z tablet with the build in headphone amp, i was wondering if this is really the best option. I have shure 840s and hopefully will be upgrading to the mdr 7520s in the near future. i am a student will also use the tablet for ebooks and movies between classes. i...

It is my understanding than Sony has discontinued their excellent MDR7520 professional headphones because they can be played "too loud", according to new European guidelines.   The 7520's are very sensitive, quoted by Sony as 108 dB and a high Power Handling Capacity of 4,000mW, so yes, they...

Hi there,   I'm looking for some good headphones that are $300-$500, over-ear (Preferably open-back as well), and portable. Each time I think I've found the perfect pair of headphones, there's a con such as "Best with an amp" or "Too uncomfortable." I would like for it to also be noise...

Howdy, new guy here. I'm a media nut. I love my music above all, movies are a close second and games are fun when I'm bored. I love rock and hip hop type genres. Movies and games in my opinion have very similar sound profiles (not sure if used right). I want a headphone set that can handle what...

Hey guys, I've been a longtime observer, first time poster. I currently have a Audioengine D1 and a pair of their A2's for my office. I wanted to get some good cans so I can listen to stuff at a more moderate volume without bothering my neighbors at work. I have a $500 Credit at guitar...
