I would go M50. If she hadn't needed closed ones, I would have concidered the HD595's. Sony MDR-7506 is in the same range as the M50, but I haven't compared the two, and therefore can't recommend one over the other - but my impression is that most people enjoy the M50's over the Sony's.

Ath-m50 got my vote for sure.

Well, first of all I don't understand why anyone would pick the AD700's over the ATH-M50's. And secondly - they're known for being quite tight around the head. So there you have it Do a search on the forum to read up on the phones. I assure you they are well spoken of and one of the best...

Dynamics are more or less non-existing in modern dance music. You can't go wrong with the Audio Technica A900's. Some people also tend to use the DT770's, but I'm not too impressed with their sonic capabilities. I saw the producers behind Britney Spears used the DT770's. Also, it's worth...

Thanx! I will take a look inside the amp tomorrow to see if there are any obvious things which will override the jack-mute. I thought there was a trick on how to insert the jack in order to override the mute... Or maybe soldering two parts of the jack together... I've heard something like that...

Hi, I have a 5:1 surround home theatre system. Now, when I plug the headphones in, the rest of the speakers get muted. Is there any way to bypass this so I can listen to phones while the speakers are still playing? I read somewhere on the internet that it's actually something inside the...

Hi, I'm making a surround-chair consisting of a 5:1 system mounted to a barkalounger (2 speakers in the back, 3 up front and the bass under the chair). I'm thinking of connection a set of headphones to act as the front speakers and instead connect the front speakers together with the center...

Greetings, I have an exam coming up in march, where the task is to present a show based on music/sound technology. Anything goes, basically. It's going to be showcased as it is - meaning, if it's an invetion/thing which only does one purpose, it's going to be examined without any requirements...

Nice review! I thought about pulling the trigger on one of those, but I got cold feet after hearing a pair of DT250's from a friend of mine. They sounded very muted and unlively..

It varies from person to person, and environment (barometic pressure) also plays a vital role. The main thing to remember, however, is that downscaling a wav-file is done in relation to the human-average masking perception. A sound can occur, yet not be heard by the human ear - because of audio...

Thanx, I will get it done today!

My SA5000's took a turn for the worse, and I ended up getting the HD650 replacement cable (instead of an expensive one). I figured, I'd rather save the money and spend them on the HD800 one day Anyway, I was wondering what these connectors on the cables are good for, and what I need to do...

Zenja: How come? Have you no faith in better cables what so ever? I am still tipping between being a believer and don't. But I'm willing to try it out at least. Aren't there any evidence on sonic improvements due to recabling? Like, those spectrum-diagrams, showing a before and after picture...

Thanx for useful comments here! So if I am to recable them, I thought about going for the Apuresound v3 cable with the Furutech 1/4in plug. Or maybe something from Moon Audio? As I said, I don't have much knowledge on this field.. Please hit me with suggestions! Btw which soldering material is...

Which cables are well paired with the SA5000's then? I have no knowledge on cables, but I know that there's a whole world of possible choices. If I choose to recable, wouldn't an international shipping be aquired? Cuz then we're talking customs and shipping fees as well. On top of the cable...

Hi My dearly belowed SA5000's are taking a turn for the worst atm. The left channel is sometimes falling away when I listen to music, but when I nudge the cord a little, it comes back. This is probably caused by a bad connection inside the cup, but I'm worried about trying to fix it myself. Is...

B and H. Same thing really. We use both here in Norway. What I don't understand is which note #B is? Isn't that a C really?

Well, I guess I don't have a choice. I just can't seem to accept the fact that sheet music is more complex than it could be. I'm going to construct a whole new way of reading music instead of these circles on bar-lines It shure isn't easy to learn all this stuff when everything is brand new and...

Hehe, well he knows that many of us are totally blank on the field. I study music technology, and to me this lecture is the hardest one! Though several students are very good at it, mainly because of a background with playing an instrument. I play the piano quite well, but I never play from...

*Reading like a horse*

audio_n00b: I think you're wrong. In your example, the speed of sound will not be affected bu temperature in any cases. I agree that the membran of the speaker isn't affected, but once the vibrations reach the air, it's not affected by the membran anymore. So, if the air is cool, then it will...

Quote from T-bag in Prison Break: "Well, if that ain't the Mona Lisa!" Wavoman, that was just pure enjoyment to read! You described not only how the headphones feel, but how they make YOU feel - and it was brilliantly put Those three phones have all been in my light of interest, and I have...

pataburd: Ok, thanx for sharing that I never owned the A900's together with other good phones. I only had the Proline 750 and the AD2000's together, and there the 750's was the weakest, imo.

Hehe. The papers are delivered, and my answer described different issues that make this question impossible and undefined. So, I basically tried to unmanouver the correct answer (if there is any) by describing why it was technically unable to answer. Hope the teacher doesn't get offended. Who...
