Quote: Which, to be honest, would mark the third time that US brings back the Edition7-sound signature. ;) But I do agree - I'd like the Signature Pro to be near the Edition 9's sounding. To my ears a very impressive, yet cultivated sound. But, also, the only US so far to fit my...

Good evening, folks, so Uwe (member of Sennheiser) answered some questions on the German hifi-forum.de already and I thought that I'd use some time to translate it for you. Please don't be mad at me because of mistakes - I hope you can decrypt the meaning of each question. So here...

Hi, carm! I just happened to read this topic - the solution you suggested would be the best in terms of sound quality. If you would prefer to adjust volume of your Adam A7s via the MKIV [note: I do not know if the LittleDot has a pre-amp function, just assuming it has?], then you'll have to...

Just out of curiousity - what was the average retail price for the RX900 when this thread started? Not that I find them terribly expensive, but I do feel they could have been cheaper some time ago. Thanks in advance!

Hi 12v, I do think you should upgrade to a full size 'phone, if you are missing soundstage when listening to your current setup. The Etymotic ER4 seem to be quite prominent in highs, so if you like this soundsignature, the K701 could be a quite good option for you. Besides that I would...

For me, technically a 32Ohm headphone is much more easy to drive than a 250Ohm Headphone as you need less current to gain the same power output from your headphone. That's the physic's part of the story. If the bass of your DT990s is now less controlled as is was with your Gilmore Lite then I...

Hi tjumper, why don't you sell your 250Ohm DT990 and buy a new 32Ohm DT990 from the Beyerdynamic manufacture?

Hello Bob007, Quote: Originally Posted by Bob007 No closed ones? Should they be? In my point of view you get a quite good value with open headphones in the pricerange <500-600$, especially if you are looking for "honest" headphones. Good allrounders that tend to be quite...

@nick: In my opinion - the HD600 play Rock well and considerably better than HD650s. Those, the HD650s, have too dominant bass and taken back highs for me to really play Rock as it is meant to. Well, at least this goes for "dirty Rock", i'd suppose. Rock-Ballads go quite well with both of the...

@MONVMENTVM: (Hi back, there ) Thank you for supporting me. "Colored" is exactly the term I've been desperately searching for. Neither the HD650 nor the HD600 are neutral headphones, that's true. But especially the HD600 are less coloured than the (compared to other manufacturers) quite...

In my point of view the SR 225 is the "best" of the standard grados [~ non-wood models], as it does not have the harsh highs and slightly... "strange" (or more unnatural as other SRs) sounding of the 325i. But, what I have to ask is: why do you think that a Grado would do a good job for you...

I've seen some Shure SE530 in a small Tupperware case - quite funny, in a some strange way. Besides the rather weird look it's definitely a safe, dry and durable place to keep your headphones.

The Super.Fi 3 might satisfy you, but I'm not quite sure, if they're definitely the best headphones for you... after all, in my opinion, the Super.Fi 3 excel in reproducing clear mids [compared to others in this price range]. Note that UE might be very uncomfortable for one's ears. The way...
