Pioneer had a line of headphones with the  polymer piezoelectric drivers  in 70s', SE300, SE500, SE700 if I remember correctly. I use to have the SE500s,  they are monster to drive and sound very dry and sterile. It is good to know another ancient headphone technology is revived like the...

 I think this is caused by resonances within a closed headphone.

They look very similar to my old fostex t7, even the same carrying box. 

Get an  Meelectronic M6 for 10$ when on sale, beat most 50$ IEMs.

Quote: Have you treat your 650 with the same shiny silvers as the TF10? I'd say the silvered HD650 is such a more fun can than it used to be.  

While the chances are very low, this is also a good oppotunity to thank my fellow headfiers on the forum for all the fun and knowlege I have here. and merry christmas!

Great great summary! For one minute before I read this, I felt satisfied with current equipments. However, after reading, I feel sorry for my wallet and have to work harder in the new year.

Strangely, I did not expect my outdated LD MK5 can handle the He5le. However, after EQed up the bass a little bit, I found myself really enjoy the sound. the sound is stunningly good with clarity, speed similar to the Stax. more importantly, they have the bouncy bass added to that stax sound...

50$ is not a good price range for a decent headphone. go up a little bit to 70$, then you can get the CAL! from amazon or Grado sr60i and more options. Both of the above mentioned will surely please you for a long time. 

That are some really nice pictures and I like the black version too. Maybe I should get myself one black pair.

Co bump, really like the broken social scene for  very long time.

Just got my lamda pro /Mk2 pro set from a fellow headfier.  I am really really surprised that headphones were already made to sound so great 25 to 30 years ago. and also disapointed that no major improvement was achieved by headphone industry for so many years while computers, cars and other...

the simplest thing is to enter your artist of choice into Pandora or Slacker, the radio will play songs their system thinks is similar to your choice. Some may not be the ones you like but generally I think they work fine for me. I use this method to discover artist I do know but may like.
