I just wanted to share some thoughts as I've experienced some serious gaming bliss lately. A while ago,I tossed a fairly low bid on a pair of Beyer DT190, as the DT150 were always my favourite closed gaming cans. I didn't expect to win, since these things retail for almost $400 by the time you...

I've had so many great experiences on the board since I arrived that I really hate starting a thread like this.  About three months ago, I offered to buy a pair of Teejaay's quilted maple cups for my T50RP, as the pictures in the Thunderpants thread are pretty awesome.   Since then, I've...

So I got the HFI-780, and I do like them so far, but they are a ways away from where I'd like them to be.   The first mod I did was to remove the buffer board, as most people recommend.  I just soldered the wires together in there, and ditched the board.   Interestingly, the board...

Well, I have just dipped my toes into the exciting world of electrostats, and so far I'm quite pleased.   I've been keeping an eye on some used stat auctions lately, and this pair caught my eyes.  They are Stax OEMs, and are true new old stock--the box had been opened, but I was the first...

  I've recently received two crucial items for my inventory: a new Beyerdynamic cable for my crackly DT48 and new DT100 pads for my DT480.   What does that mean?  It's time for the Vintage Beyerdynamic Studio Headphone shootout.  Both of them are the 25ohm variants, and both have been...

A little back story.  When I got married, we bought my grandparents' old house.  Today I needed to stow stuff in our surprisingly packed crawl space, and I have learned that my grandfather never threw anything out in his life.   Today's interesting discovery was a really old radio and a pair...

  With the arrival of the DT48, I now have three of the Beyerdynamic studio headphones:   DT48E (25 Ohm) DT480 (25 Ohm) DT150   It must be time for a three-way shootout.   For this comparison, I used Foobar playing FLAC out of my laptop via optical to my custom DAC/amp, which...

Okay, I'm totally not trying to troll by asking this.   I just wrote up my review of these suckers yesterday, and I'm left with a few questions for Ultrasone fans.   For those that like the Pro 750, how do you mitigate the sharpness/harshness in the highs?  Do you EQ them?  Is there some...

An odd question here...   A couple months ago, I bought my DT150 from a seller in Britain.  They are working fine, but one of the pads is starting to fall apart (the seam is splitting quickly on the inside of the pad).   Has anyone from Canada needed to get support in this kind of...

For those who don't know, the CharterOak headphones are the same as the MB Quart/German Maestro GMP 450 Pro, made in Germany, then rebranded in the United States. There hasn't been much talk about these cans on the board, so I thought I'd put together my thoughts, especially given how much I...

So here's my situation. This Friday, my mom is visiting family in the States for a week, which means that I could avoid the Canadian price discrimination on some new phones if I order them in the next few days and she could slip them over the border for me. The thing is, I'm not sure if I'd...
