    CAL! HPs - HUGE difference after burn-in

    Okay so after I got them I noticed that they were simply unable to produce sub-bass. Even EQed it sounded like weird vibration borderline clipping and sometimes truly clipping. Fast forward 3 weeks and I pretty much prefer them over my Plantronics once EQed. Sub-bass is really good and it...

    JAM Out There HX-HP303 Review

    Design: Sleek, minimalistic, stylish. You get what you see on the pictures with the exception of the buttons which are NOT lit even though they appear so in some photos. Comfort: Firm fit, ears don't get overly "tired" after prolonged use. Not like pillows or something I would wear 24/7 but...

    "Brainstorm" should have gotten much more recognition than they did

    It's not EDM or anything modern per se, but their old tracks are uplifting, inspiring and very easy listening. I'm EDM fan (yes, I'm serious :) , but I do think ALL of us rely on those inspirational tracks, especially when we need this extra kick before we have an important decision to make...

    Pioneer SE-MJ561BT / Review

    Long story short... I was looking to buy some somewhat portable and nice headphones to use with my Nexus 5. Then I stumbled across a sweet deal for CAL! 2 costing $79.99. I've done some research and figure out I need to buy a cable for them as the stock one is no good for SQ. So I ordered a...

    JVC Victor HA-SR75S Reviews/Opinions

    I must say these look really great for a portable headphones! But there seems to be very little about them when it comes to actual SQ. Have any of you had the chance to listen to them already?

    Just listened to some KolorFish H50's today.. WOW!

    Seller told me that they are exceptional and I of course believed him. I thought this is just another typical studio monitor like Sony V6 but heck I was wrong... Once I plugged them in to my HiFiMan EF2A my tube AMP I was stunned! The lows are punchy, mids pronounced, highs crisp, soundstage is...

    Why there aren't many headphones with W shaped sound signature?

    Why???  On every single Headphone I have to manually make it W (peak points partially depend on headphone), then it sounds miles better. Why don't they make it that way by default?    Why make it V, but not W?     This + E6 on blue works wonderfully on S600s, but it was pain in the...

    playing 50hz tone overnight?

    Generally, is it safe to play pure constant sub-bass tone on HP overnight to stretch the things out? Hummmm....

    DT 770 PRO 80, best $200 cans for electro music?

    I'am very close to buying those things. Is the bass comparable to extra bassy cans like XB500? How portable they are in the real life? I mean, can you wear(carry) them on your neck without issues? Do they worth the price difference from M50? Or dare I even ask, price difference from EQed...

    E6 started to catch interference?

    When I bought it everything was perfect. It lasted for a couple of weeks and now all of the sudden I'am starting to hear those radio sounds like when you put your phone to close to the speakers... Nothing has changed, same cable, same smartphone, I'am even wearing the same clothes (lol).  Why...

    Should I get XB500's?

    My current setup:    Desire HD (EQed crap out of it - esp bass and mids, volume set permamently just below DAC clipping / peak limit caused by EQ, somewhere at the half) + FiiO E6 (with red/blue EQ depending on the mood) to finish the job and get high volume with no distortions + JVC S600's ...

    How I succeeded rattling the skull with passion and 70$

    To give it the beginning, I always considered myself as a basshead, however ! I can't live without certain amount of clarity, so it's not only about the bass. I looked for quite low-priced (good price/quality ratio), closed, bass capable portable over-ears for dubstep. After days of reading...

    Is it worth getting an AMP for Victor S600's?

    I mainly listen to dubstep, EQed these JVC's to insane bass levels (just below distortion, in some cases it hits peaks limit). In my case, is it worth getting an $36 Fiio E6? Will I notice justifying difference, will I be able to avoid any limitations and pump maybe even slightly more humm (not...

    did I just blown Ferrari t350's?

    did I just blown Ferrari t350? ad about these, well I came to the store to test them again, plugged my smaerphone, and immediately after hitting play I hear horrible distortion (bass was cranked up but they didn't distort this before), so I stopped music, turned off eq, replugged them, and guess...

    How come $400 Ferrari T350 couldn't be much better than $45 S600's?

    Now this may look like yet another one nonsense topic, and it might be the one, lol. But let me tell you something, I recently tried that Ferrari by Logic3 series comparing them side by side to JVC's HA-S600. I immediatelly noticed that somehow JVC has significantly more bass. Don't get me...

    Is clipping bad for HP's?

    Let's say I  EQ them JUST below clipping. Although on some tracks with very strong bass it goes beyond that to slight clipping (which doesn't sound so harsh to ears when they are vibrating and music is loud, lol). So the question is, apart from music distortion, can HP's be damaged by driving...

    Do bassy HP's with neutral mids and highs even exist?

    Ok, let's say price isn't a big concern. Does there is such thing: strong deep bass (with bigger impact than on dt770) and at the same time, mids and treble aren't recessed in any way with at least average soundstage, but closed type?  Maybe 2-way drivers or smth?

    How to take it apart? JVC S600

    Ok so I'am curious to try this mod, but this member isn't active for quite a long time, so I can't PM him...  How should I take the cups off? Tried the easy way but seems that something is holding them tightly, although there are no visible screws anywhere around this area.. Maybe somehow...

    Mysterious bass imbalance. How is that even possible?

    Recently I started to hear a stronger bass on the right side. But the reason of that isn't as obvious as it may look like... You see, when I put my S600's reversed (L to R), same HP channel still has stronger bass, but only very slightly and sometimes it even looks like perfectly balanced... Now...

    is it ok to fold headphones while burning them in?

    just wondering is it ok to fold them(closed type cans touching each other) while burning-in overnight so the sound won't leak?

    Best portable over-ears 40-70$

    Given the fact that there are only a few people who actually listened to JVC HA-S600 or KOSS UR55 (opinions about these still highly appreciated), I decided to consider  other possibilities again.   For music I usually use my smartphone (Desire HD), I listen mainly to electro music, mostly...

    JVC S600 vs KOSS UR-55

    Hi there,  I've been using HD228 for quite some time now, but it's getting uncomfortable and doesn't sound as good as it used to etc, etc..  So I decided it's a time for a portable on-ear headphones. Now let me tell you that I really do like BASS. However, I'am not as much into it to...
