So Audeze just announced their new LCD4 and upon seeing their asking price my first thought was how comical headphone pricing is getting these days. My next thought was that it's finally time to pick up a pair of HD800s before Sennheiser decides to jack up the price for the sake of it. I believe...

Anyone buy this? Movie is excellent and the OST just elevates it to a new level. Probably tied as my favourite film score ever with Inception.   Sun     Sinking Friendships  

So I've been reading a lot of posts here which claim that the K701/2 have a neutral sound signature. After listening to these things out of a Burson HA160 for the past few weeks I'm curious as to why. It seems to me that a lot of headphones without a mid-bass hump have the propensity to be...

So since I bought the T1 I've been reading a lot of threads on high end gear and it seems to me that the LCD2s are by far the most popular high end headphone. You only have to look at the 17000 post thread here to see what I'm talking about. In contrast, the T1 thread hasn't reached 2000 posts...

So after getting the T1s the varying recording quality of my discs has become increasingly apparent. Its good to know how my own standards stack up with everyone else. Here are some discs I listen to on a regular basis - what would you give their recording quality out of 10?   Silent Alarm -...

Been debating whether to pick up a pair for the past few days. Alas the upgrade itch has got me once again and I'm looking to get my last pair of cans to complete my Head-fi journey (hopefully). I own three headphones at the moment: Denon D7000, Sennheiser HD650 and the AKG 702s all powered by a...

i've been a happy HD650 user for a good two years now, but recently I've gotten an urge to try something slightly livelier and more exciting. After much deliberation I came to the conclusion that the D7000s would be the right choice for me. I'm not going to lie, those polished mahogany cups were...

Hey guys, So I've been looking to get another pair of cans for a while now. The Denon D5000s woody cups and extra bass have seduced me but I'm worried about my setup. From some brief reading I've heard some people say they are not that great with tube amps. Obviously I'm not looking to buy an...

Hey guys,   So I've been looking to get another pair of cans for a while now. The Denon D5000s woody cups and extra bass have seduced me but I'm worried about my setup. From some brief reading I've heard some people say they are not that great with tube amps. Obviously I'm not looking to buy...

As the title suggests, whats the best place to get replacement pads for the HD650? Mine are pretty worn and slightly out of shape so I might get a new pair if its not too pricey.   Ta

Always been interested in these cans but it appears they are now discontinued. Does anyone know of any online retailers that still have some new ones for sale?

I've been reading a lot of threads lately in this section of Headfi lately and as you can see by my signature I have settled on the DacMagic. From what I've always understood is that DACs are regarded in how accurately they the represent the source material the are decoding. So my question is...

So I've been using my Samsung laptop as a transport for the DacMagic via USB and I'm looking for a solution that involves optical.   I've got a PS3 Slim here which I've been thinking can be used a CDP/Transport to the Dacmagic via optical. I haven't tried this yet as I'm still waiting for my...

I thought it might be a good idea for us to show our CD collections here. Its a great way to share your music with others and also discover new material for yourself. I really can't be bothered typing out my small collection so here is a picture: I realise you guys probably have huge...

Anyone get this yet? FREE DOWNLOAD Ghosts I - The first 9 tracks from the Ghosts I-IV collection available as high-quality DRM-free MP3s (320kbps LAME encoded, fully tagged) including complete 40 page PDF. Also includes the digital extras pack - various wallpapers, icons, and graphics...

Hey guys, Bought these off a fellow headfi-er late last year and recently the cable has eroded and exposed the wire rendering them unusable. How should I go about getting these repaired or a replacement? I'm in Australia and the headfi-er I got it from is in the US so I'm not exactly sure how...

With all the fakes appearing on Ebay these days I thought it might be an idea to compile a lost of headphones which have confirmed fakes on the market. Also, a small description which outlines what little features you should look out for that may be an indication that is is actually a fake. I'm...

I thought it might be interesting to see what people think are the IEM equivalents to full size headphones. Obviously the full size headphone will sound superior but what I'm talking about here is the general sound characteristics. I haven't heard that many IEMs, namely the E2C, E4C and UM1...

I call impossible, even with a case. Mine already has like a million sctratches on the back and yet the front is immaculate. Oh well.

One thing I've noticed since switching from the HD595s to the HD650s that has nothing to do with the sound is that the HD650s don't give me headphone hair. What I mean by headphone hair is that the headband on the cans usually leave the hair directly under the headband considerably flatter than...

Just found my old 1G iPod dock and wondering if it still works with the new iPod? The reason being it has a line out which will be handy. thanks

For the record I've never actually owned a headphone that is known for their treble performance. Sibilance is pretty much my pet peeve when it comes to audio closely followed by a recessed midrange. I've had the UM1s (not much trouble action here), E2C (mmm?), E4C (treble roll off), HD497 (can't...

So I just picked up my HD 650 today and love them to bits. Seems that the vast majority of people here are using an upgraded cable for the HD 650. It feels like almost a sin to only use the stock cable, but I'm not sure its worth getting a Cardas or Equinox cable with my current setup. What is...

So I'm planning on getting a pair of these from B&H Photo because they are the only place i can find with a reasonable price that will ship to Australia. The price is $340USD + $50USD shipping. It says there is a $50 rebate, but I have my doubts as to whether you can get it if you're in...

So I've recently got an urge to upgrade. Been using the HD595s for about a year and have grown quite fond of them. I love their midrange and especially the way they handle vocals. This time around I'm thinking of getting a headphone with more bass. While the HD595s bass was pretty good I'm...
