My wife gave me this for my birthday. While at first I felt somewhat offended, I must confess the resemblance is there...

For portable use, I love my old pair of ATH-ES55. But after nearly a decade of use it's time for a new set. I would like my next portable headphones to have a similar sound signature, but if possible a bit more comfortable, a bit better isolating and ever so slightly a bit more bass. I own a...

Headphones reality in one simple graph (no, not a paradox)   http://i.chzbgr.com/completestore/2009/11/3/129017632026190737.png The graph is frightfully acurate, but some comments are frightfully disturbing...

Anybody familiar with these? HDPro7 Over Ear Headphone They look promissing, but looks can deceive.

Just couldn’t resist. Bought me a pair of ‘Sound Dynamic headphones’ And they are BIG. Nowhere on the box or cans is there a serial number or type designation to be found. But aren’t they pretty ugly? The sound you ask? Well, I’m not sure, but I suspect there are drivers installed that also...

After spending many hours reading about all digital audio players available, I came to the conclusion that Creative ZVM 60Gb seems to be ideal for me. I took the following into consideration: very good sound quality customizable equalizer clearly legible display a lot of memory I use a...

I wonder if this device also spins Western vinyl? http://media.excite.co.jp/ism/077/03excellence3.html edit: It will if you look for other pictures...

You are only given one chance for a first impression. On the other hand; a first impression with new cans is somewhat controversial because of the burn-in that seemed to be required. That’s why I decided to let the first sound that reached the drivers of my new W1000’s to be pink noise and...

I'm planning to buy Audio Technica W1000's for about half a year now, but the introduction of ANC7's make me hesitate. I've heard W1000's and I like their signature very much. One of the major drawbacks for me is their low isolation level. If ANC's are somewhat similar, then the better...

Anybody of you ever tried to quit from this money gobbling addiction? Anybody of you ever tried NOT to visit this Site, even for a day and didn’t feel lost? Anybody of you sooner or later found the holy grail and stopped searching? Is there a cure of some sort? Is bankruptcy inevitable...

I don't know if there's already been a thread which has new designs as topic. I did af few searches but couldn't find one. Anyway: I had a dream. And I dreamed of cans which had it all. It took some effort to materialize my dream, but this is what I came up with... Do you have a dream?

I found this piece of investigation and was curious: has anybody else here tried this or did a study on imaging and soundstaging that some alterations might change? http://www.headphonesguru.com/My_Homepage_Files/Page13.html My thought is, that such a mod may improve the soundstage, but...

Spending way too much time on Head-fi led me to believe I could do better than my Beyer DT831 for closed cans. So I made my way to several shops for a serious listen and first of all, to check out on the AKG 271. What suddenly struck me most however is the poor (read: cheap) general quality of...

I'm aware of the fact that there have been several meetings in the Netherlands already, but for different reasons I didn't attend any of them. One of them is distance, another is free time. Since I have enough room for gathering AND if needed staying overnight, I was wondering if there are...

Anybody familiar with this Philips SBC 3178? It supposed to be the High End headphones of Philips about 10 years ago. I'm sure it has something to do with the AKG K 260 (a 'clone'?). I've put it up for sale. Anybody knows the history? http://www.speurders.nl/audiotvenvid...1.0.1.141.3013.
