Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread
Strange, I'm a college student and I find the HD700's treble to be quite pleasing. A little, little bit sharp, but nothing that bothers me too much.- Agony

Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread
Exactly what I thought too. Had to double-check the store's setup to see if I was actually amped or not Thanks for the input! Sweet, I'll look into seeing if I can audition them with those FiiOs. I actually don't mind the sharp treble, I'm one of those weird people that...- Agony

Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread
Apologies for the dumb question, but I had the opportunity to give these a go in Tokyo's Akiba department store, and I was blown away by the HD700. I even got the chance to try out the HD800, T1, and W5000 and I just found myself enjoying the HD700 so, so much more than the previous 3 even...- Agony

[Review] AKG K545: A new benchmark in portable audio
AKG K545 Things you should know before we begin: I've been a user of warmer headphones all my life, so use that for a reference point of bias. I will also be using the HD25 as my main point of comparison as they are in similar price ranges now and it was my previous gold standard for...- Agony

Can't seem to decide on a set of full-sized headphones, would appreciate some help.
Apologies for creating a new thread, didn't know if the "Looking for advice - post here" thread was still in service, per se. Long story short, I'm looking for a set of headphones to usa almost exclusively at home, and there aren't any places around me that offer any good sets to audition. About...- Agony

Apple EarPods Thread
Apologies for the bump, but I've decided to give these a shot for the first time since I bought my new 5S... and I must say, I am incredibly surprised. These are nothing like the predecessor, they actually bring a solid bass impact and have a nice amount of airiness. The isolation and comfort...- Agony

Headphone Sightings 2
Someone showed up to my class with a Bose QC15, claiming it's the best headphone on the market and bragged that it was $600. Everyone believed him. Help me out here. I hate Orange County.- Agony

How long does Shure repair service take?
I apologize if this is in the wrong subforum; I couldn't find a better place to ask it. If I missed it, it would be appreciated if someone would link me the correct forum. Anyway, as the title says, how long does Shure turnaround typically take? I sent in my SE215 (with warranty) a week or so...- Agony

Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II
I recall being in Chinese class one day, and this guy with Solos notices my TF10 on my desk (probably due to my E5 its plugged into). Of course, he asks the ubiquitous, universal question of "What kind of headphones are those?" I actually told him "Sennheiser", in hopes that he would recognize...- Agony

Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II
This thread musn't die. I created a headphone purchasing advice thread on a forum that I'm largely active on, and since then I've persuaded 14 people to buy audiophile-brand headphones, and all of them (except one guy who bought a Koss PortaPro) are satisfied. I'm proud of myself, but I'm a...- Agony
