    Very High end Speakers Boenicke audio

      i bring nothing apart from hard evidence, links to said parts, video evidence and a bit of knowledge which most here are missing .... but besides that ....   Now if you'd excuse me, I was part way through a paper from Ethan Winer.

    Why are STAX headphones unwanted?

    The old version, the version i owned had oval ear openings.        The new version most certainly does not!    http://www.stax.co.jp/Pdf/Export/NEWS_E_SRS002_121015.pdf     If your headphones are oval, one would assume they are the old model/old stock!

    It's been a long time - reccommendations - Sennhesier HD650 - Hifiman 300

    Thanks for the input.    I've been doing a search on ebay and amazon, i can't believe the likes of the AKG K701 and K702 are coming up for around £100 - 150. back in the day they were £300 headphones going up against the likes of the HD650's   As I ran fakeheadphones.com for many years, my...

    It's been a long time - reccommendations - Sennhesier HD650 - Hifiman 300

    It's been a long time since i've posted a questions about headphones.    Just wondering your opinions on comparisons between Sennheiser HD 650 headphones (which I've previously owned) or Hifiman 300 headphones? I'm into all sorts of music, and I usually use my Ultrasone's, but I'm looking for...

    Is Denon AH-340 a serious jump over AH-320

    Got a pair of 320's and they're OK. looking for a sensible upgrade ... without spending out for the likes of Alessandro MS-1i. Denon's come up at reasonable price, but are the 340 in the same league as my (broken) AH-D1001 & AH-D1100's?

    Very High end Speakers Boenicke audio

    Very High end Speakers Boenicke audio I'm afraid that title is very much misleading as there's nothing 'High-End' about them. TBH the drivers are average at best, although I do have the Peerless SLS 6.5 in a transmission line subwoofer enclosure, but there are better drivers than Peerless subs...

    Why are STAX headphones unwanted?

    Sorry to resurrect and old thread. I curse the day I sold my SR-002 MKII earphones. I had the older version with the oval type ear-buds which at best were painful. The portable headphone amp that had to be used sucked batteries every 2-4 hours, which doesn't really encourage portability. The...

    Bose OE replacement recommendations please?

    For all the bad press for Bose, among my (at one time) 120+ headphone collection, the OE's were one of the best for comfort. Those Noontec Zoro's ... Dre wannabees? But at around £40 they might eb worth trying out. Just finished watching a YouTube review of the Noontec's, they get...

    Bose OE replacement recommendations please?

    Another thing: are there any headphones with normal cables, no in-line controls? I'm not interested in hooking these up to a mobile phone!

    Bose OE replacement recommendations please?

    Thanks for your suggestions. I live in the UK. I would hunt for another pair, bar for the fact that there are counterfeits everywhere of the original OE headphones. V-Moda's look nice, however i remember I had a lot of bad experiences with V-Moda in the past, when they first bought out their...

    Bose OE replacement recommendations please?

    So after nearly 9 years of hard use the cable on my Bose OE headphones has started to die. I'm sure someone here could re-cable it, but the headphones as a whole are looking very tired. I'm looking for a semi portable replacement, any suggestions? I was looking at the Yamaha HPH-PRO300...

    Ultrasone HFI 580 vs HFI 780 vs HFI 2400

    Which pair did you go for?   Out of the 9 Ultrasones I've had, I found the distinction fairly easy. I always say; The HFI's are more metallic, more suited to electronic music. The Pro's are warmer and fuller. The DJ headphones (of which I have on right now) are simply an extension of the...

    [REVIEW] Presenting the Chord&Major Tonal Earphone Collection

    Major 7'13 "Jazz" Major 8'13 "Rock" Major 9'13 "Classical"   I've been out of the game for years, but the last IEM's that did this sort of thing was Radiopaq. They retailed at £59 (UK) now you can literally pick up the Radiopaq tuned for the price of a Big Mac Meal. I thought the...

    DAC, Pre-Amp and headphone amp all in one please?

    Thanks for getting back. I'm bi-amping the speakers at the moment. I guess I'm not desperate for a headphone amp, but i thought that a proper dedicated headphone amp would be better than the headphone output on either of the topping amps.    Any options for a DAC/Preamp for around £100?

    DAC, Pre-Amp and headphone amp all in one please?

    It's been a while since I was last on head-fi.    Current set up:   Muse MU-15 MKII Class T amp (15 @4 ohm)   Sure Class D amp (50 @ 4ohm) - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350753926478?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649   I'm probably going to upgrade those to topping...

    Headphones you regretted buying the most

    Quote:   wow ... out of the 120+ headphones I had when i was running fakeheaphones.com (now offline) these were amongst the better headphones in my collection. Certainly when in the UK you account for the cost of these against the SR-60's, i stand by them and say; Yes ... in the UK...

    Ultrasone HFI-15G owners

    It's been a while since i've been here, however i did get a pair of HFI-15G's and defined them as   1) one of the best portable headphones i've ever heard around £100 mark - compared with the AKG K450, Sennheiser HD438, Jays C-jays   2) one of the most comfortable headphones i've ever...

    AKG are trash

    For me it wasn't just the sound that was below par, but the overall build quality was garbage on the ones I tested/owned. But its a name people know, and not much more. I used to buy £20 Technics and Panasonic headphones back in the day (1989-90),. Big full-size headphones. I thought they were...

    AKG are trash

    Got my Dynaudio MC 15 ("the high end multimedia speaker") - review

    Wow, it's been ages since I last posted on head-fi. I moved on from headphones to starting my car audio business, concentraiting on building subwoofer enclosures. However part and parcel of that is learning about 'basic' acoustics, and so i'm in the process of building my own speakers.  ...
