    Polk Buckle- an overlooked headphone that deserves a thread

    After listening to these at Best Buy today, I am surprised there is not a thread yet for these, so I thought I would start one. They have a warm and detailed sound that I thought was impressive for $200 and they are certainly a contender in their price range.  They also fit comfortably over my...

    In a zombie apocalypse, which headphone would you take with you and which would make the most effective weapon?

    The concept of this thread is inspired by The Walking Dead as I just watched last Sunday's premier and am a huge fan.   My one headphone for listening, assuming I had a way to charge my player, would be the Ultrasone Signature DJ- great sound, durable and closed to isolate groans of the undead...

    Optimal portable setups for portable audiophiles: What have you found to be the best balance of sound quality, portability and file format/bit rate to accomodate portable players?

    Since I couldn't find one specific thread to address this question, I thought I would start a new one.  Portable use seems to be exploding as evidenced by sales volume and the introduction of a dozen or so noteworthy mid-fi closed portables in the past year, many of them impressive sonically. ...

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

    Based on the available info from CES 2013, The NAD Viso HP50 is the new headphone introduction that I am most anticipating from the brief product description link below.  While the flood of new headphone introductions from respected names in audio has been hit or miss over the past year, Paul...

    Detail Monsters in the $250 to $500 range

    Now that I have found my "fun" headphone for portable use after a 6 month search, I am interested in a headphone with a very different signature- one that focuses on detailed, transparent vocals.  I had a taste of this with the Denon D600 which I though was a standout related to detail, but...

    New release mid-range circumaural showdown: V-Moda M-100, Polk Ultrafocus 8000, Denon AH-D400 and AH-D600

    All four of these headphones have solid early buzz (okay, not so much for the AH-D400, but it still looks interesting).  Any thoughts on these or alternatives that would be great for every genre of music with solid bass and work as well portably and at home?  I know the Polk is now out; the...

    What new headphones are you most anticipating?

    With the Sennheiser Amperior finally here, the V-Moda M-100 slated to arrive in the next month or so and the launch of several new product lines from Denon coming, 2012 is shaping up as an exciting year in the headphone community.  For me, the aforementioned brands are the ones I find most...

    What is your favorite portable on-the-go compact amp setup?

    I really enjoy my FiiO E11 and appreciate the impact on the volume and clarity of my headphones that I was able to gain from a modest investment, particularly the bass enhancement.  Since many of us listen to music on the go more than at home, I thought it would be good to discuss portable...

    M Audio Q40 or Ultrasone 550 for overall sound quality and super bass?

    Looking for more bass with good overall quality for portable use.  Any feedback is appreciated.  I am also open to other suggestions, even at higher price points if justified based on the improvement in quality.  The quality and depth of bass is important to me, but I don't necessarily want it...

    deciding between Sennheiser HD 380 and Ultrasone 550

    A confused audiophile/basshead who loves the clarity of the HD380.  I haven't heard the Ultrasone 550 yet, but want the extra bass based on reviews.  Does anyone know if the clarity and sound signature of the Ultrasone 550 is comparable to the Sennheiser HD 380?   Should the Denon D1100 figure...

    Help for a confused basshead audiophile

    Hello everyone, I am searching for a headphone that offers neutral, transparent sound, yet with bass emphasis in terms of presence and punch.  I realize it is an oxymoron to call myself and audiophile bass head, but I think this is how I would best describe my sonic preference.  I am old enough...
