I have a pair of old HD600s that sounded weirdly hollow - vocals sounded recessed and far away. I dismantled it, messed around with the drivers and broke something.      A pair of HD650 drivers plus shipping would cost me $120. I have no guarantees that new drivers would fix the problem, but...

I'm looking to replace my aging HD600s. I could purchase replacement drivers, but thought I might get a different pair of headphones that don't need amplification instead.   Budget - about the same price range as HD600, comfort is very important. I have the Audio-Technica ESW-9 which I love...

Hi,   I bought the Topping NX1 headphone amplifier, it is my first portable headamp. I tested it with the Sennheiser HD600 and it sounded terrible. When first powered on, everything sounded compressed, there was no separation and sound stage. It also sounded slightly muffled.   At first I...

Hi,   I have a pair of 10 yr old HD-600 that I hadn’t used for a couple of years when the sound gave out on the left side. Recently I opened up the grill and cups to check, didn’t see anything wrong and put them back. Voila, the sound came back. However, the cans now sound very constrained...

I bought a pair last week and I'm loving it. Not sure how durable the BA-200 is, can previous owners share? Should I buy another pair since this seems to be heck of a deal?

Hi guys,   I live in a small apartment, and I need a solution to enable me to watch TV or movies at night with my wife without disturbing the sleeping children.   Should I just get a splitter that lets me plug in two ¼ in headphone jacks? Or is there a dedicated box I can buy with two...

I'm currently using IEMs when I run, but the seal isn't great and I have to keep adjusting them to get decent bass. I'm thinking maybe over-ear headphones would be better? Any recommendations, with remote for apple devices? By the way, I'm using MEElectronic M6P currently.

I agree with you that the classic LOD connection works best. However, I currently use my ipod touch for a lot of stuff other than music. I don't own an iphone, and I use apps heavily on the touch. To downgrade to a classic just for music is going to be tough and carrying two devices around is...

I just bought an LOD cable and an amp a month ago, so definitely not. My current ipod touch battery life isn't great, so I may get a classic instead just for music. 

Hi,   I'm looking for a set of headphones small enough to be put in a carrying case, but I won't be using them as portables. I want Open headphones to be used indoors, but I will need to carry them around in a bag.    I am sorely tempted to get the ESW9, but it is a closed headphone. I...

Hi all,   I'm looking for a set of headphones that I can fold up, put in a carrying case and bring with me on business trips. Supra-aurals and IEMs will not be as comfortable for extended listening sessions, so circumaural would be best. However I don't know any that can be stored easily in...

Hi all,   I own the A900x and the Senns. The A900x has clearer treble, but weaker bass than the HD600. It sounds quite lively on rock songs, but I miss the bass. Senns are notoriously laidback and I don't need to say too much about them.   How do these two phones compare with the Grado...

What portable headphone would you recommend that has the opposite sound from the Senn HD600? A grado? I'm worried about the clamping force of the grados.

I generally prefer tube-like and laid back sounding phones, I have the HD600 and TDK BA200 IEMs which fit the bill. I'm also looking to buy a set of portable headphones which would be an upgrade over the TDKs. At first I was aiming for the AudioTechnica ESW9 which fits my preferences, but then...

Hi all,   I live in Singapore, and would like to buy a headphone from the US. Amazon doesn't ship to my country, so I'm looking for other retailers. So far I've looked at Beach Camera and Adorama. They ship, but shipping is almost $50 US.   Can you guys suggest others I can look at? Many...
