    Question about headphone amps, power, and sensitivity

    Wow! Thank you so much for your informed and excellent reply. 1) I figured - 1W of power would produce extremely high listening levels. No clue why that's still to this day up on the site, as 101db is already plenty loud and that's at 1mW 2) I think I gave the equation for voltage. I found it...

    Question about headphone amps, power, and sensitivity

    Hi everyone, I got into headphones because I love music and now am getting more and more interested in the electrical engineering behind our fancy hats. I recently got the Audeze LCD2C, and also have a pair of Sennheiser HD800S that I pair with an objective2 / Massdrop CTH. I have read online...

    HD-650 Production?

    Hi everyone, I noticed on Amazon that there are only "18 left" of the Sennheiser HD650's. Now, I'm assuming there's only 18 left for now, and that there obviously will be more in the future. With that being said, does anyone know how long these cans will be produced for? I read a review about...

    Where can I actually learn about sound science/headphones/amps/dacs/etc?

    Hi everyone, Every time I go on this forum, I feel totally outclassed by the other members because you guys are all just so knowledgeable about headphones and amps and sound tech. I love music and am slowly developing a passion for high quality headphones, but I really don't know what a lot of...

    Where can I try out headphones in the San Jose Area?

    Hi all, Some background: I am pretty inexperienced when it comes to audio science and the nitty gritty specifics of headphones but I absolutely love music.    Substance: Right now, I own a pair of ATH M50's but I'd like to upgrade sometime soon. Online reviews only do so much when it comes...

    Has the fake ath-m50 arrived?

    http://www.aliexpress.com/item/HOT-sales-M50-DJ-headphones-High-Quality-DJ-Headset-with-retail-package-freeshipping/555016918.html You mean that?....Jeez. Chinese merchants have no sense of decency (and I'm Chinese. It's a shame).

    Quick novice question

    Hi guys. I know what an amp does...I think (increases the power output to headphones so that headphones with a higher impedance can be driven).  (is that even close?) My real question was, what is the point of spending thousands of dollars on amps? As in, why is a Woo Audio Wa22 worth more...

    Best headphones for 50 bucks?

    I got the JVC HA M750's when I was just getting into the world of headphones, and was thoroughly impressed. I'd definitely recommend them enthusiastically.

    Review by 'tinamou62' on item 'Sennheiser HD 203 Closed Back Around-the-Ear Studio Headphones'

    Had a friend who had these come over to test them out, compare them to my ATH M50's. Plugged into a Fiio E7, these headphones were nothing short of great for their price range. From what I can remember, they sound better than my old JVC HAM750's. The bass response on these is almost as good as...

    The Audio Technica M50 studio monitor thread

    I'll preface by saying that I do not know much about audio so perhaps another opinion should be sought.  From what I understand, the Fiio E7 is a USB DAC OR an Amp, so it either acts as an external soundcard (thus bypassing and pretty much making useless Xonar DG) or making the music louder...

    Awei Q5 awareness thread

    Hey guys,so back when I was super cheap on audio, I bought random Philips headphones and what not from the CVS next to my house for 10 dollars. One day I took an adventure on ebay, looked up "headphones", and got a pair of Awei Q5's on ebay. They have since gotten lost, but does anyone know...

    HEADPHONE MEET at the Headmaster in San Francisco 8/10/2013

    I'd love to go but I feel so overwhelmed... :( You guys all have legendary headphones and I have very run-of-the-mill stuff... You guys have probably all seen my setup 100000000 times. It's just a Fiio E7 into an ATH M50. I'm a high schooler buying everything with my own money from my job...

    ATH M50 Stress Relief spring out of jack?

    Oops...I'm a moron. Was toying with my headphones, the spring came out and I clipped it...does that do any damage to the headphones (besides the obvious)?? I can't imagine the spring being integral to sound...it's not connected to the cable or anything right?
