    HE1000 vs HD 800 purely on soundstage and positional resolution

    I actually find the HD800 more 3d sounding then the HE1000. Overall I do agree the HE1000 have more height which I find odd coming from the HD800 but less width and I find it easier to differentiate/ pin point sounds/instruments with the HD800.

    HE1000 vs HD 800 purely on soundstage and positional resolution

    I currently own both and I would have to disagree that the HE1000 sound stage/image better. In fact I would go as far as to say the HD800 are far superior in that regards. My current system is Auralic Vega->Auralic Taurus mk2-> balanced into HD800 (copper litz cable)  / HE1000 (cardas...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones

    Quote:   Great choices in albums! Baroness is absolutely fantastic and I love their guitar tone not to mention their art work is absolutely stunning, I am actually thinking of getting a John Dyer Baizley (lead singer/guitarist in Baroness who also did the art for all their albums)...

    HD598 vs HD600 vs HD 650 in terms of hiphop/rap.

    I would probably consider another set of headphones, such as the Ultrasone pro 900 which you can find for under $350 online but even cheaper used. These are also closed and have some isolation which make them portable although I would recommend amping them.

    WORST headphone you ever heard?

    Aside from all the cheap generic junk I have heard over the years, what I would consider the worst actual headphone I have heard is also the best I have heard strangely enough, as it had more to do with source rather then anything else.   It my set of HD800's out of my friends sound card. ...

    Best games for music listening

    I have been really into the Bastion/ Hotline Miami music as well as someSquare soft/enix stuff, there is also another indie game that had a soundtrack I love but I cannot think of it at the moment, all I can remember was there was something to do with plants or organic matter or something along...

    Amp vs Sound Card Help- Total Newbie to good sound

    Well  if you do return the card, I would go with the the FiiO E10, it is a nifty little unit that sounds pretty good for what it is although I also cannot guarantee you will hear much difference in sound quality as well.

    JDS Labs C421 or Leckerton UHA-6S MKii for my Etymotic ER4?

    Well, I think the C421 is a good amp, but if you can justify the cost the Leckerton is ultimately the better amp (to me). I also wouldn't rule out the UHA-4, I prefer its sound quality to the C421, its cheaper then the UHA6s and has a dac section as well!

    Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread

    I got a friend of mine to buy these today, I was actually underwhelmed when I tried them out of an ipod but after some amping they really came alive! I was shocked at the sound stage to be honest, I thought it would be much smaller then it was. Overall I found these to great and the build...

    Blackberry Playbook & Portable USB DAC/Amp...

    I have not been able to get a dac to work with my friends playbook unfortunately, we tried for a good few hours using a GoVIbe Dac Box.

    Headphone Amp Experts: Recommend a nice can amp for me!!!!

    I have recommended it a few times today but I have found the Bottle head Crack to be my favourite sub $500 amp ($279 from the bottle head website), although it is a DIY amp, its really fun to build! Also it definitely does not have any treble harshness.

    New headphone amplifier from Bryston

    I managed to audition the BHA 1 with a pair of HD800's and compare both the Rega dac and the Violectric V800.   I found the V800 to be very detailed with a far more expansive sound stage (to my surprise as I was honestly thinking that I would not be able to tell the difference between the...

    Matrix M-Stage + HD800: Will I be happy?

    I think you would be happy with the m stage and it will definitely power them, that is if you like the HD800 in the first place as they sound completely different from the HD650.    You could also try build your own Bottle head crack amplifier as they sound good paired with both the HD650...

    Crack + Speedball vs. Lyr

    I would personally go crack + speed ball because it is really fun to DIY!   What headphones would you be using?

    Headphone Sightings 2

    Walking around Melbourne I am often surprised to see some very good headphones; some of which spring to mind were a set of Unique Melody Miracles, numerous sennheiser HD-25/HD555/HD280, Beyerdynamic dt1350/dt770pro, Shure 440/840/iem, Grado sr80i/60i and Alessandro Ms1. These sightings were not...

    My TripleFi 10's have been WASHED! (SIGH)

    I would probably browse the 'for sale' section or other auction websites (Sometimes Amazon even have them for around $150) for a used set of the UE tripleFi 10 as they are often sold for under $150, that is if you want another pair.   Another option which I personally preferred to the UE are...
