Whats also the case is that if I tap on/flick the left headphone inner-metal-plating, it does not make this metallic sound, as it seems to be supported by some sort of foam.  

Yes i tried them with other sources and got the same thing.     I actually made a little discovery - I took the pad off of them and tapped on the metal plating inside, and it made the exact sound that I'm talking about.  It seems some transient/percussive audio causes this metal plating in...

Hey Ultrasone Pro 750 users My new 750's (just received from amazon last week) are doing something weird:   You know the mac os x volume sound? like when you turn volume up and down on the keyboard of a macbook pro? When I hear that sound in these headphones, it's like there's this little...

Hi devgru, thanks for your excellent reply :)     I'm purchasing the 750's because mixing is my primary concern and I hear from master audio engineers (dave pensado) that these are a great choice.  I'm not concerned with how good they sound so much as how accurate/revealing they are.    ...

Hey Head-Fi users.   I have been very enticed by the Ultrasone Pro 750 for mixing purposes and am hoping that my audio interface, the Steinberg MR816 X, is compatible with them in terms of driving them, impedance, ect...all of that complicated stuff that I can't really figure out.    ...

  Hey all, thanks again   So after some more research, the Senn HD600's seem really to be the headphones for me...they're detailed as hell, balanced, and good for everything.    I found a new pair for $308...which means i'll have $192 left to get a dac/amp combo that can drive them...

Are there ANY dac/amp combos that can drive AKG 70x's well with some added bass for balance??   I'm looking for like a price around $250

ahh i see :)   thanks again for engaging in this discussion and helping me out.    I hear that grados are great headphones with "pop" but good balance, is that true? would you recommend any pairs in my case? and if so, what would they be paired with? I'm very attracted to their aesthetic...

Quote:   Thanks for the reply Elanzer!! so legit and helpful.  the NFB-12 seems very talked about and legit and that combination fits right into my price range.    I was wondering what you thought about these combos:   AKG k70x + Little dot MKIII + macbook pro onboard dac   OR...

Sokolov thanks for the reply:)   It sounds like those issues were pretty specific tho.  For example when I listen to music on my bose headphones (a gift...-_-) from the output jack of my MBP, i don't hear any hissing or problems, so I don't see any need to get an external dac.  Would it make...

and what i mean by real improvement is audible improvement   will it improve the sound. 

ok, I have been going looking on this forum for information for a WEEK and I cant STILL not find the answers i'm looking for   This may be a controvercial topic, but it seems to be that like half of the people here just buy in to the audiophile $$ spending credo:   Will an external dac...

hey guys thanks for your replies :)   let me elaborate a bit on my specifications and respond to you.  Again i really appreciate your help.     I'm mainly going to be producing this stuff in my dorm room.  I've decided not to buy monitors or use them as part of my composition stage of...

Armaegis thanks so much for your reply! here are my responses to your points, i'm so glad you've engaged in figuring this out and are asking questions.  "Headphoneus Supremus" seems too legit too haha...   I will be doing recording, but I'll have a dedicated audio interface with it's own...

Hey, this is a great thread :)   I am new to high quality headphones but I need some to help me with my music production.  I've been researching endlessly for the past week in these forums trying to make a good decision, but options are so varied and opinions so differing.  I thought I'd lay...

Hey I'm new here but i've been looking at these forums for like a week now trying to decide how to use $500 that I have.    I'm a budding music producer and I want to hear everything while i'm composing on my daw.  I'm going to be composing mainly electronic music.  Mixing, when I do it...
