has anyone tried the adels with a balanced amp?

can someone explain the difference between the hybrid and copper options?

I really love the sound of it playing through my android device so I imagine when I plug in a decent DAC it will be great, hence the thanks. No worries about the hifiman, I don't plan on using it

I just unsuccessfully experimented with a Hifiman hm-101 connected via a plugable self powered usb hub. When that didn't work I just listened to some music through android, and already WOW! I'm sold! Just need to upgrade my DAC! Thanks Davy!!!

i second the denon d2000s. they are great sounding headphones

jds lab has a list of materials you could also look that as a resource. i would also suggest talking with john seaber, head of jds labs. good luck

The Denons are closed and I know among the Beyer pairs, one is open and the other is semi open. I have the Denons and they are great. They don't isolate that well, they block out a bit of sound but not too much, and don't seem to have that much of a closed sound to me. I love the D2000, I use...

I've only had my Markl modded 2ks for a few days, but I've loved every minute of them. Paired with a JDS lab cmoy, they sound phenomenal. The bass is tight and defined. They sound very balanced and detailed. Amazing headphones. For under $400 they are a great value.

here is the website for jds labs cmoys: http://www.jdslabs.com/ the sound quality should be a lot better than the fiio e6, but the cmoy costs 60 bucks. it is more than worth its value

lawton audio mods denons, and i think their mods take care of these problems. i have a pair of md2000s and don't hear the problems you mentioned

you might also want an amp, or even an amp with a bass boost. i use my d2000's amped with a jds lab cmoy and i am very happy with the performance

i have a jds lab cmoy paired with my d2000's and they sound great together. i think its cheaper than the e11 also. i use mine with ipod/iphone and macbook

i have the d2000's and i use them mostly with a jds lab cmoy and i think they make a great pairing. ive listened to the cans straight from an iphone and the sound is fine, but the sound is better, and more lively from the cmoy. if you want more details i can try and give specifics.

there's also the leckerton uha-4

Before I decided to purchase headphones recently I did a lot of research and talked to a friend who has been a sound engineer for over three decades and he highly recommended that I go in the IEM direction. If you want supra-aural cans Denon's line are supposed to be great.

Do closed and open headphones use different style drivers?

Even if you have cans that isolate noise, they won't isolate all frequencies. I have the HD280 pros now, which isolate great on the street, but on an airplane, I still have to turn the volume up to drown out the low frequency rumble of the engine. I also have the Markl MD2000 on the way. I'll...

i received a jds lab cmoy after a couple weeks of research. john seaber of jds labs emailed back and forth with me, and gave me sound advice without any commitment to buy his product. he was fantastic and a pleasure to deal with. on top of that his product is great. having a bass boost option is...
