    Review by 'Bonavon Vovo' on item 'FiiO E09K'

    I bought this as a package with the FiiO E17 Alpen for $260.00 I feel that i got a great deal for such a wonderfully versatile high quality product.   AUDIO - This has enough power to make my Audiotechnica ATH-M50s, Sennheiser HD 380 Pro's and Hifiman HE-400's sound fantastic. It doesn't add...

    Review by 'Bonavon Vovo' on item 'Sennheiser HD 380 PRO Headphones'

    I bought these to replace my ATH-M50s and HD280 Pro.   I am very happy with them, They have a relatively balanced sound with a slight emphasis on bass which is tight and punchy.   Bass - The bass on these headphones is tight and punchy (not loose and flabby like the ATH-M50 which was...

    Sennheiser HD 380 pro vs 280 pro vs ATH-M50 vs Sony V7506 vs shure 840

    Well, I have my new HD380 Pro's. I have burned them in for around 100hrs and have a further 150hrs of listening on them. I would like to share my thoughts on them in comparison to the HD 280 Pro and ATH-M50s.   They have turned out to be my new day to day use headphone and I am considering...

    Review of Sennheiser HD380

    I'm surprised there are not more reviews and people praising this headphone here on head-fi. Judging by the reviews on amazon these phones punch well above their weight. Does anyone have an opinion of these? Objectively for or against?

    Sennheiser HD280 stinks!

    I agree with Davie, their mids may be a little strong at times but they have some of the deepest tightest bass I've heard. They definitely shine with well recorded music and show the floors in poor recordings. Burn in with theae is important, mine are about 3 years old and have only proves with...

    Question about braiding 2 cables

    The trick to twisting 2 wires together is that when you twist them lets say you are winding them together in a clockwise motion, each wire should be twisted counter clockwise as they are wound. This is how they will not unwind.

    Sennheiser HD 380 Pro cable options

    I have the HD280 and the HD380 with the coiled cable. I thought it was cumbersome and a little annoying until I bought the ATH-M50s (straight cable). The M50 cable is about 3m long and is a massive overkill for day to day use. My solution was to plait it. Which brings it down to about 1.2m but...

    Open headphones with good sub bass?

    I will second the HD280 pro for exceptional tight sub bass. I also believe having good mids help to create the detail in bass. Eg a bass guitar may have a low deep note but sounds unnatural without some "twang" or fret buzz. Bass and mids hold hands. I would prefer good sub bass and mids with a...

    new love for the hd280

    I think a lot of people mix up mid bass and sub bass having never really heard truly good detailed sub bass. People think that the HD280 is lacking in bass when they are expecting the boominess usually associated with bass. I think the HD280 has some of the best bass going round, especially for...

    the HD 280

      HD280 Pro - Owned for 2-3 years Great clarity in the mids particularly around vocals and snare type sounds, sometimes a little too pronounced. Excellent sub bass, maybe slightly light on the mid bass. There is a good quantity of bass too but not only is there a good quantity of it, it is...
