    Mesh/foam on earbuds

    I didn’t know where to ask this, so I do here - the Yuin OK2 came with some sorta plastic foam (guess most of you’ll know) - and I like their sound better with the foams with small holes in it instead of the "donut foam". Unfortunately, I broke one of them because they’re quite hard to apply (I...

    How bright is an ultrasone pro 900?

    C’mon, reading ain’t that hard. Quote: Originally Posted by big-ban Oh and my PRO 900 is probably burned-in already, I'm the second owner.

    If I sold all my headphones... AD2000? Electrostats? Something Else?

    If I sold all my headphones... AD2000? Electrostats? Something Else?

    Quote: Originally Posted by fraseyboy Hmm so how are they different to the AD2000's? As I said: I’d consider the W1000 the more neutral can. With the pad mod (search for posts by "big-ban" if you’d like to find it) it got bass, mids and highs - nothing really standing out. It...

    Audio-Technica Announces A1000X and A2000X

    I’ve bought a MacBook Air ~5 hours ago. Anybody interested? Just kidding. Guess I’ll have to wait some months before I’d be able to buy one of those..

    Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!

    Don’t want to disturb Denon harmonys but they were definitely not my cup of tea. Tried D5000 markl and D2000 - mids were just too recessed. So far it seemed to me everybody liked these headphones..

    W5000 Fitz Mod Guide

    Just performed the mod on my W1000 - with expected results. The bass becomes fuller, definitely, just as voices. I never heard the W5000, I only got the F5005 - but I’m pretty sure the W5000 -> F5005 is similar to the step I made. I definitely like it, it’s recommended for W1000 owners. Voices...

    WHEN, oh when, will we get a new high-end headphone???

    Hopefully end of this year Audio-Technica will release a new high-end phone. It’s time again.

    Got the Audio Technica AD2000

    I’ve been listening to the AD2000 for one week now and I still don’t like them. I read somewhere this one might be a love-or-hate headphone and I’d agree on that. I know what one could like about them but personally I don’t, unfortunately.

    Synergy - far more important than the headphone itself

    Quote: Originally Posted by PiccoloNamek I disagree. The headphone itself is about 99.999% of the sound. If an amp or DAC or other hardware is audibly affecting the heard frequency response, then the hardware is drastically defective. That’s not a widespread opinion here - but...

    Audio Technica Earpad Mod

    Glad you’ve posted it here. As you know I’ve made quite good experiences with the W1000 mod, with the added bass they sound a lot better which made me love them. Don’t have pictures at hand at the moment, but the pictures above will be helpful enough anyway I guess.
