Resurrecting the Sony MDR-R10
The King is Dead...Long Live the King? I'm sure this may have been attempted before, but I thought I would take a shot at trying to prod Sony into bringing back the venerable MDR-R10. I owned a pair several years ago, but unfortunately I was just a poor college student at the time and had to...- Sophonax

Solid State Amps with Sony R10?
Is anyone out there using a solid state headphone amp for their Sony R10? Based on what I've read, tubes seem to always be the recommendation for the R10. However, due to their low impedance, high sensitivity, and high level of detail retrieval, it seems like solid state might make sense...- Sophonax

Portable closed headphones with nice mids and bass that isn't overpowering?
Hi everyone! I've been looking for a while for a pair of closed, portable headphones that will meet my criteria. I'd like to try several different models and pick which is best for me, but at this point I don't have the patience or the cash to do that. Reading around the Head-Fi...- Sophonax

Closest 'Phones to T1 for $300?
Hello all, I have a friend who recently listened to my Beyer T1s and fell in love with their sound. Unfortunately, he only has a budget of $300 for headphones, so the T1s are out of the question. My question is directed toward those who have heard the T1s: what other headphones have...- Sophonax

Headphones with Best Overall Build Quality?
We, here at Head-Fi, would probably all agree that sound quality supercedes all other aspects of a pair of headphones. I myself would also agree, but I do have to say that build quality is also very important to me. As someone who enjoys building things, I have a lot of appreciation for a...- Sophonax

Recommendations for Grados
Hello all, Not too long ago, I picked up a pair of Grado SR60i, just to get an idea of the Grado sound. Though I thought the build quality and durability were substandard, even for $80 headphones, I was very pleasantly surprised by the sound, particularly at how they present rock music. They...- Sophonax

Recommendation for SS Amp / DAC Combo - Help!
Hello all, I'm pretty new to the higher end of the Head-Fi scene. I've had some decent mid-fi headphones before, and I've always run them from my Yamaha RX-497 stereo receiver, which was good enough for my purposes. However, I'm ready to upgrade to some nicer headphones (probably either the...- Sophonax
