Hello everyone,   It's been about 4 years since I bought the HD555s, and they're kind-of falling apart so I'm looking to switch to something else. I'm currently leaning towards the AKG K240 Studio headphones, as they're supposed to have some similar qualities; being open and natural sounding...

Has anyone heard both and can tell how they compare? I read excellent reviews about both of them, and it seems that the DF can also drive some pretty difficult-to-drive headphones.

How's does the O2+ODAC pair with the GR07?

How's does the O2+ODAC pair with the GR07? Or should I maybe look more into the Dragonfly?

Recently purchased the GR07 IEMs, and have been using them with my iPhone, and my computer, which only has on-board sound. In comparison, the sound through the iPhone is much fuller, it has more bass and soundstage than the on-board chip, which sounds very thin. I've been doing some research...

I've read that the E10 cuts the first 0.7 seconds of audio. Is there any truth to it? Also, what other DACs would you recommend?

Nice, it seems like a pretty good sound card. However, I'm thinking of maybe spending a little more.   Do you think the Xonar STX suit my needs well, or would it be a waste?

Hello everyone,   As it turns out, the on-board sound card that I have sounds kinda horrible, that even my iPhone produces a much clearer, richer and detailed sound with the earphones that I'm using (VSonic GR07).   Therefore, I'm interested in buying a sound card that isn't too...

Hello everyone,   My CX300's recently crapped out on me, so I am looking for a replacement.   I basically listen to everything; jazz, electronic, death metal, ambient, etc... Therefore, something that works for many genres would be great.   After doing some research, I came across...

Thank you all for your contributions! In case i'm going for the DAC, how does the previously mentioned Matrix Quattro DAC compare to Burson HA-160D (as i've heard it goes very well with the LCD-2s), and is there any noticeable difference between the two hooked up to these headphones?

Any thoughts on how the Asus Xonar Essence ST sound card would perform with these headphones?

Quote: Will the on-board amp on the Quattro DAC alone be sufficient to drive the LCD-2?

After doing some research to which headphones I should upgrade my Sennheiser HD555s, considering the HD600s, HD650s and some other phones, I decided that the LCD-2 would be a better option - a more considerable upgrade.   And now, I have a couple of questions to ask:   I have an Optical...

I've finally decided to upgrade my HD555 headphones to the HD600s, and I was wondering what amplifier should I get to drive them properly. I will be using the computer as the source, and currently I only have an on-board sound card... So should I just get a card like the Xonar Essence ST that...

Quote: And how do they do in other genres? It's just that hip-hop is not a top priority... So the HD600s would probably be a better bet?  

And how do they do in other genres?

I've been doing some research, asked in a couple of threads in this forum and another forum, but i'm still having a very hard time deciding between the HD600s and the HD650s... I'm listening to a wide variety of musical genres (rock, metal, classical, pop, hip-hop, electronic), playing video...

Hi guys,   I opened a thread here a while ago and I was asking what would be a good upgrade from the HD555s, but haven't reached a definite conclusion yet, and i'm still considering the HD600s or the HD650s... and bundle it with an Essence ST sound card.   I listen to a variety of...

Any other contributions to this thread would be greatly appreciated.

Quote: I'm planning to use them on exactly those things you've mentioned. Genre-wise, I listen to many different genres; rock, metal, classical, electronic music, hip-hop, etc... So I guess that in this case a more neutral can should be considered, am I correct?

Hello everyone,   So I bought the HD555 headphones about a year ago, and now i'm considering to upgrade them to a higher end model while at the same time buying a new sound card, which is Asus Xonar Essence ST and use it instead of my current on-board card as i'm probably not going to buy an...

Wow, I have the same problem with the HD555 that I bought not too long ago, but only the left channel is louder. But not only louder, a bit "brighter" than the right channel.. Is the problem really with burn in, as I have them already for a week?

Anyone?
