I'm fairly new to the audiophile world and I like to get value without going too far past the point of diminishing returns. By that I mean I won't be spending thousands to get an extra 10% of performance. On top of that, I only have a beginner's discerning ears.    With that in mind, I'm sorta...

So I have both of these headphones, and bought the AD700 just for its open design and its large soundstage.  Problem is that I don't quite see a difference.  To me, I feel any song is being played in or just near my head with either phones.  Maybe I just can't tell, my recordings aren't great...

For now, I'm pretty satisfied with my basic rig, but want to keep an eye out for next possible upgrades.   So headphones...I have the M50 and AD700, both of which are easy to drive ampless.  But I've never heard them with an amp before so I have no idea of the potential.  I plan on getting...

(near clone of the Denon 1001K), Audio Technica M50, and Audio Technica AD700.  I guess I could count the Sennheiser 238's too, which I returned since it...

Can you guys recommend some instrumental music (ie classical, movie scores, operas, etc) that just sound dramatic, fun, and immersive.  Some vocals are ok too.    Here's my list, and am wanting to discover similar ones:   Mozart - Requiem Mozart - Symphony #25 Vivaldi - Summer Presto...

I'm new to listening to quality headphones and when you're this new, it's hard to juggle the various jargon, models, model specific +'s and -'s that are spread across over hundreds of posts.   I ended up getting the M50 as my first quality headphone because I hear this is an all-around good...

I just bought an HD238 for $60 after rebate and think I got a good deal.   With it being an open headphone, it leaks too much so I'm going to stick with my Sennheiser IEs for public transportation.  But for walking the streets, its small profile is good.    The 238 was intended to be...
