I’ve been away from Head-Fi for too long to know what’s the new hotness or what‘s considered a fair price for gently used Sennheiser HD800S that I bought new in 2016 or 2017 and have kept stored in their original packaging for the past year. I took a look at recent For Sale listings but...

I've been auditioning them for about a week in preparation for a transatlantic flight. I have a pair of Bose QC25 over-the-ear noise-canceling headphones but I'm ready for something that takes up less room in my carry-on bag. I passed over Bose's noise-cancelling earbuds because the last time...

FOMO prevailed over common sense. I ordered the HD800S after Amazon confirmed I can still return the HD800.

Do you know of any OSX or IOS EQ software that can be used in conjunction with streaming services like Apple Music?

I'm far from being a classical-only listener. Nor am I a high-res FLAC guy. I stream more than anything else because it's just so convenient. Tyll's review is was prompted me to see if I'm still inside the return window. As someone else pointed out, $600 won't matter much with just a little...

To any and all HD800/HD800S owners: If you could easily return the HD800 for $1,100 and get the HD800S for $1,700, would you? That's the decides I face. Today is the last day Amazon will accept my return.

Thanks, Arnold. Postal gods willing, I will have an HD800 and PM-2 by the weekend, along with the HD700 I've had since last week (talk about a head-fi relapse!).

Crowd Wisdom? I will get to the point: over the past year or two, I've sold off my ATH-W1000X, HD650 and finally, after realizing there are much more comfortable planar, my HE-5LE. I have the HD700 and PM-3 currently on hand but I intend to return them and buy a single flagship. Because...

After a few years of headphone stasis I am back in the Head-fi vortex having sold off several headphones, including the HE -5LE and settling on the Oppo PM-3 as my portables after trying wireless options from Master & Dynamic, Bang & Olufsen, Sony and Bose. Now I'm thinking about returning the...

Anybody still having problems with El Capitan and USB audio? I'm running my Mac into a TEAC A-H01 DAC/Amp and I'm experiencing distortion followed by complete loss of audio.   Rebooting brings back audio, but only for a short period of time. 

By "not so great" I mean too revealing of the recording's flaws (loudness, no dynamic range). I already own HD650s and ATHM50, the latter of which sound better with less than stellar recordings than my more expensive cans. But who wants to switch back and forth during a free-association...

HE-5LE owner here who has been using these headphones with the speaker taps off my Marantz PM5004 stereo amp. Sounds damn good with good recordings, but not so great with most run of the mill recordings. I'm wondering whether the EF-5 would be a step up, or whether it's worth considering...

Been a while since I've posted. I'm sending my almost two-year-old HE-5LEs back to Head-Direct tomorrow for repair and hoping for a good experience. The right ear cup detached during normal, non-abusive usage. I was a bit surprised to see that the ear cup was attached with  nothing more than a...

Sounds like your computer is the source of your interference. My experience with computer audio is limited to Apple products -- via wireless streaming or toslink out to an external DAC.   As for the manual, I don't have an electronic copy. If you turn over the LDMKIV, there are a couple of...
