Good to know they are over-ear and not on-ear. That actually caused me to overlook them a bit, but their isolation might eliminate them for me I work for an aerospace engineering company, so sound leaking is very frowned upon.

Updated my OP to be more concise and actually make sense.   I am trying to decide between IEM or full-sized - that is a personal choice I have to make.   But I would like suggestions while I compare. Currently I am between the Oppo PM-3 vs the FLC 8S. Both sound to have the sound signature I...

Trying to replace a pair of on-ear momentum's. I liked their sound a fair amount, but also played around with EQ a bit to get them where I wanted them.   There were things I did not like, and would like to improve on - namely comfort during long listening sessions, clarity, sound stage, and...

Thanks for the recommendations guys! I think I am pretty set on the HiFiMan HE-500s, got to listen to a pair that a friend owns, and they really seem to hit that sweet spot for me.   Still back and forth a bit, though, and would hope someone with experience with both the HD-650 and HE-500...

Hi-   I have recently started doing a bunch of freelance writing from home, and as such am in a position that I need to put together a nice headphone + amp & DAC combo for home. My primary goals are:   - Comfortable for long wearing sessions - I wear glasses - I don't have to worry about...

I am not a big fan of most modern pop. It just lacks a certain originality/meaningfulness that is disappointing. That being said, there is some that is catchy enough that I will listen to it (aka, my wife likes it and I can put up with it). Not much that I will go out of my way to listen or...

It would be amazing if record labels would recognize the market demand for accessible lossless downloads. Whether that means working with Apple/Amazon/Google to give us true CD+ quality downloads, or doing it on their own, it would be really nice.   I buy the vast majority of my music on CD...

For personal reasons/relationship with the songs (ie, connected to my Mom or Dad type thing) Cat Stevens: Wild World, Moonshadow, Where do the Children Play Van Morrison: Brown Eyed Girl Elton John: Crocodile Rock   Just all around emotional songs: Sam Cooke: A Change is Gonna Come Billie...

I have used both here and there. MOG is way better, IMHO. Feels like a larger/more complete library, better sound quality, and for me a better user interface. I have premium Spotify for free (I was a beta tested way back in the day), and still pony up the $5 a month for MOG.

RhymeSlayers album label has amazing artist top to bottom, especially Atmosphere, Brother Ali, and Grieves.   Also, goofy but good, check out Prof.

A little extra information... I don't have much opportunity in my area to try out headphones, especially high quality ones. Sadly I am limited to Best Buy and their display. Out of what they had their, I really liked the Bose on ear ones, but they didn't perform well when plugged into an ipod. I...

First off, awesome community here and happy to become a part of it.   I recently got an 'office' job and being able to enjoy music while doing it is a huge factor to not going insane. So that puts me in the position of needing a good pair of headphones.   I am looking to spend up to $400 for...
