    I purchased these in February 2021 from Headphones.com, a Sennheiser authorized retailer. I tried to get back into headphones, but they're not for me. I'm looking to upgrade my near field monitor system. These have mainly rested in their box and are unblemished. No modifications. The exterior...

    HD 800s Sweet Spot.. HDV820 vs PS Audio GCHA

    I have had a strange experience. I thought I'd hit the top of the pile, all arounder setup with the Hd800s > balanced hdv820 However, I plugged the headphone unbalanced into my old ps audio gcha and for classical music, the sound is so thunderously massive and dynamically musical - albeit not...

    Calling PS audio GCHA owners... Volume experiment/test

    Skip to 4th paragraph to bypass personal journal entry tracing me path from inklings to revelation.  I received the GCHA from another head-fier a couple days ago. With iem ue triple.fi 10, first impressions involved how much life it sucked out of the music.  No highs, no dynamics, slow slow...

    Dedicated components with interconnects <vs> Single Interface USB DAC+AMP+etc

    help... powered off dac with speakers on

    my adam a7 speakers are connected to my zhaolu dac. I turned off the power on the dac while the speakers were still on about midvolume. There was a loud sound from the speakers. Is it possible I damaged the speakers?

    Marshmallows or the KSC75s??

    stock tips. yes, they're uncomfortable after a short period. Pretty sure they've made the entrance to my ear canal wider ps i'm not saying these can come close to acheiving what my home rig does, but with the worser quality recordings i have, where the k701's don't hide the ugliness, or where...

    Marshmallows or the KSC75s??

    jeeze, I have the marshmallows for a couple days. These things are crazy. The dynamics are very good. I like the isolation and the sound signature. I like a more intimate, lush sound, and therefore I would go for the marshmallows over ksc75. I have a emu 1212m> zhaolu cs4398 > mpx3 slam > akg...
