Couple months ago I sold my Nuforce Icon HDP and Sennheiser HD650, sort of wanted to start fresh and with a set of headphones and amp/dac to match my main music genre. I mostly listen to dance/electronica music and that music really didn't seem to go well with those HD650's. I'm assuming the...

Beyerdynamic DT990 (Premium and Pro)   HiFiMAN HE-400 Planar Driver High Efficiency Headphones   Ultrasone Pro 900   Ultrasone Pro 2900       I have extremely little knowledge in terms of the terminology you guys throw out there so helping me decided on these or something else...

I'm currently looking for headphones to bridge a gap I have, electronic music; my other pair of headphones (Sennheiser HD 380 Pro's) don't quite cut it -- though they're great for metal and orchestra. I am currently using a VRM headphone "amp" which agreeably is probably atrocious.   Liquid...

Hey guys good news i have finally gonna buy a amplifier and a pair of sweet headphones to go with it. Thing is the amount of headphones is staggering to chose and I'm not sure what i want to get. I want something that is comparable with a HD 650 (which was my original choice)and around that sort...

Hello, I am looking for new headphones. I use headphones at home, priority Open headphones. Price for headphones under 500$.

Hi all! I am looking to purchase a pair of mid/high-end headphones purely for late movie watching.   I have a couple questions and was hoping I could get some answers and recommendations.   1. I have a Denon 2310 A/V receiver that receives audio & video via HDMI from an HTPC. Do I need...

Howdy all - like I said in the title, I need to chat with people as opposed to just reading threads....   I have a decent flac collection, foobar, etc. I use a Gilmore lite + psu and an emotiva xda1. My current phones are AKG k601, AT ESW9, JVC HA s500, and a pair of px100s. (I also have the...

I've had my HD650s for a couple of years and I love them, they're sound signature is beautiful, however I'm finding their performance lacking in faster, more complicated music. For slow music, or music with less treble and fewer instruments they are amazing; smooth, laid back, and non fatiguing...

what would be better for mixing and mastering hip hop, trap and edm? I can't decide weather to buy thr pro 2900's or the beyer dt pro 990's I'm buying one of them tonight.. please help, if it helps my main problem is that on my monitors low bass's and 808's, don't punch through the mix clearly...

It took six years but my AKG K81 has finally given out. Rather than replacing them with another small headphone I decided to try a pair of in-ears. Prior to these my only experience with in-ears has been a $15 pair of Sonys that I owned well before I got into audio and all I remember from them...

Hi All,   I am new to Head-Fi.   I am looking at buying a used Ultrasone Pro 2500. After browsing around I come to understand that the product is no longer being manufactured(?) I have been using In-Ear so far and this will be my pair of cans.    So from the forums here I shortlisted the...

I bought my Ultrasone pro2900 last year on Amazon when it was $384.   Before I hit the old classic iPod 4th gen monochrome clickerwheel, I have been through iPhone 4S, Schiit Audio Asgard(amp), Audio-GD NFB 5.32(DAC-AMP), Little-Dot DP_I(portable player), the Acoustic Research AR-M1($830...

I currently have the following headphones. Ultrasone Pro 2900 Fidelio X1 Beoplay H6 I am considering to add a flagship class headphone to make my collection more versatile. Should I get HD800, T1 or others? I need some advice. Thanks.

I can't figure out which one I should get. I love both headphones for its sound. However, Sony has to use some kind of receiver it offers with headphone, so it can be used, but the system is Dolby 7.1.   In my country, on the same price, I can't decide which one to get. I use it for...

Here is my first post guys... I'm now really indecisive as I own HFI 580. It works well for me except that I had a try of Pro 2900 last week and it sticks in my mind! However, Pro 2900's price is quite too expensive for me, plus I'll use it only for movie. I'd like to ask if DAC could...

Hello there, It's my first post on this forum and I'm looking for some help. I'm planning to purchase Ultrasone 2900 Pro (thanks to the opinions found on this forum) but because of my limited resources at the moment, I'm only looking for portable devices to support the cans. I was thinking...

I've been planning to buy new headphones for a while now but I've been stuck between those two cans. I know there have been a similar topic before where those two headphones were compared with Denon D5000 but the Ultrasones were ruled out because of their price at the time. I'm usually listening...

As the title suggests I'm curious as to whether the pro 2900 would be a significant upgrade to the proline 2500.  Additionally, I wonder whether there are any legitimate upgrades at the $500 price point, and not simply a bit different sound.  I enjoy detailed, crisp clear presentation, and...

I've always been a little intimidated of the amp section here, there are so many amps out there, and there is always going to be that feeling that there may have been something better once you get one, so I'm just going to trust headfi, and hope for the best.   I don't know anything about amps...

Hello everyone :D   I looking for some high-end headset with good sound and some crazy Bass. and my problem is that i don't know much about speakers, so i could really use some help to choose some. What i have been looking at is these 3 headset:   Sony MDR-XB1000...

anyone have both

Hello everyone, I am going to be purchasing the Ultrasone Pro 2900 soon and was curious as to what would be a good amp for it. I was looking at the Schiit Asgard as its made for low independent headphones. My budget is $300. I am not to picky if I have to buy a DAC later when I have the...

I have the itch for some new cans. I am looking for an open soundstage with good bass response. There are very few reviews on both of the heaphones I mentioned, any chance someone on here has tried both? I realize that the He-400 may take a while before I can purchase one.

I'm new here so firstly wanna say hi...Great website you guys have got here, very informative.   I have been producing jungle drum and bass for around 8 years and circumstances have recently pushed me into requiring headphones for mixing, almost in place of my monitors.(I am aware this is...
