Sorry to make this dumb thread but I couldn't find a thread or site with verified information on this. When I browse the senn website I cannot find an alu HD-25 or amperior(I know the amperior is discontinued for sure btw) Has the aluminium HD-25 been discontinued officially? Sorry for...

Am I the only one (or one of the few) who believes on board sound straight from the motherboard is absolutely fine? Heck its even really good if you ask me! Is there any reason a external sound card /DAC/amp would be necessary with an easy to drive headphone (there's ALOT of them around I...

By far overpriced cables. http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2008/11/most-expensive-speaker-cable-world-audioquest-audiophile/ ^ like that one

They should nickle? Chrome? plate all plugs like this one,last longer,doesnt corrode and doesnt look cheezy. Pffffff gold conectors

I had a discussion with a classmate one day saying those REALLY had subwoofers in them. I told him that that would be highly unliky seeing as you would need 1)Alot more power. 2)The need for a crossover design. 3)And an extra super large driver,and there just isnt enought space for it...

Thanks for keeping track of this interesting fact. After 30 years it might be time for a better standard than redbook for higher sample rates and stuff. First CD i ever bought was I think the Man-Machine from Kraftwerk after falling in love an LP version my brother bought a few weeks...

Hello fellow head-fi-ers! I got lended a AKG K501 to solder a new plug on it,but i also noniced the right channel being a bou 5-7% softer than the left. Any possible causses/remedies for this? I am pretty shure i connected it right(Channels are right and earth is connected to earth.) Can...

Should be a solid idea for their DJ and hi-fi phones. I vote yes!

Hello again head-fiers! Can anyone help me identify what this is for sure?Its my new room having some wierd reverb like response.It's like the sound is repeating itself a few times after i clap. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45341964/Room%20accoustic.WAV EDIT:Is this "flutter"by any chance too?

http://memebase.com/2012/02/24/internet-memes-oh-nice-phones-bro/comment-page-1/#comment-676972 Hooray i was first! Anyway on my school having beats is the pinnacle of sound. . .yeah right. And IF I show some friends something else they are like "Just like the beats headphones"(like any...

Can't say more then:Amp takes more,space but allows alot of differens speakers to be used. My diamond9.0 and my Cambridge audio topaz am5 sound wonderfull. Got the AM5 for 120£ and the speakers for only 40£.

Using a no-nonsense Microsoft 600(wired) Keyboard Effortless typing,quiet,Had its fair share of "accidents"(Milk,soda etc) And still typing smooth and quiet!I love this thing to death! And only for about 15 euro

Hey there, i own the HD518 and they are absolutely awesome,Clear detailed have a sense of space,the x-fi titanium will power these good. They go Really deep and vocals are good in movies too.Mind you that these DO NOT block sound and they also leak alot of it. But other than that you will be...

Quote: You are a braver man than me. Last night a bottle of soda fll of my desk and splashed on EVERYTING,exept my amp+diamond 9.0's These drivers will never see tha daylight again(meaning im too paranoid too remove them now)

Wauw another (almost) 5 pages off bullcrap that Has NOTHING to do with the original thread,might ass well help derailling this thread with more non relevant BS. I like molten cheese. So i "helped".

PeRsOnAl OpInIoN. The sole fact you like the look of the beats is becaue of the sleek desight which you find better looking.(and theres NOTHING wrong with that) I for instance prefer designs like the HD-25,T50P and the 990.These DO NOT feel cheap nor have a flimsy build quality.When i hold a...

Already a good answherer-der. I do know that there are differences in sound signiature in different speakers,but always felt like the cabinet/crossover/amp etc made MUCH more of a difference than the driverunit itself.The link U posted is indeed VERY helpfull very many thx. Dam sound...

Ok I see that its a preference thing(and thats a good thing) And now i feel stupid after messing up the poll . Edit:and i don't know how to fix it sorry :( But it should have sayed "i listen with the grill on"(1st answher)

I've often wonderen about all these driver designs n' shapes.do these affect/influence sound at all? For some reason i absolutely HATE the "hollow" shape (top on in the oh so fine paint picture) and the design that camebridge n'  B&W use.Why cant manufactures specify why they use the drivers...

Is it standard that i prefer to remove the grilll of my speakers(warfedale  diamond9.0)? It really helps removing that "speaker"and the sounds are more lifelike istead of comming out of a speaker. Am i Mad?I thought these grills arent suppose to affect SQ at all. Also when i use the 3.5...

Yes my HD518 sound God like with house,electro(old,kraftwerk) and Can really bring out that umph!

  Quote: And if I'm not mistaken an IEM requires a good DAC/sound card with a high SNR because because the IEM's are so easy to drive they are prone to hissing/interference right?

Well do they?(like in with a portable amp and a decent source of course) I can imagine it being helpfull for 40mm> drivers in full size headphones being they are harder to drive. Thanks
