Fit is snug and soft. Although its clamp is not as strong as the HD600/650, it might survive a backflip because it weigh relatively less and thus the inertia probably won't snatch it from your head.

I'm in love with my HD490pro but I had my disappointment like yours when I first heard it. The P-pads sounded veiled and boomy for me at first listen but as soon as I get it, it provides a very thorough perspective over the whole soundscape. The M-pads sounded honky and thin but in the very...

Is the pinout topology of HD490pro compatible to that of ZMF's, when it's doubled to each cup of L & R?

Mids on my 1st gen T1 sound a bit distant and recessed, but not "muffled" since every contents in that range are presented crystal clear. I find it a nice tune for enjoying music and its sound in critical attitude. (I reject the idea that critical listening is the opposite of enjoying music.)...

This is the most beautiful piece of headphones I have ever seen in the internet. Kudos!

Closed cans are mostly "for-purpose" rather than for "pure fidelity". If you want different approach to pure fidelity, try planar-magnetic then later electrostatic.

But T1 is a way better headphone than D7200!! :beyersmile: P.S. I misread „D7200“ as „D7100“. I swallow my words!

1) USB 2.0 or better 2) galvanic isolation 3) asynchronous transmission 4) proper shielding or distance between built-in usb interface and analogue circuit Above conditions met, USB is better than S/PDIF.

HD600...? A thought of a 8040 owner.

I would recommend not buying headphones under 100$, unless you have a specific model model in mind for a specific purpose. Beyerdynamic DT990pro costs just $149. It might not fit everyone's taste but is technically one of the best headphones in the world. Why waste $100?

I don't like HD650 either. It sounds too warm and even murky on some occasions. But I like HD600. It's been always a golden classic for me. In my opinion, HD600,650, DT990, 880, 1990 etc. fall into a broad category of "fairly neutral" headphones, just differentiating in the interpretation of...

Ultrasone Edition 10 I thought it must be their "statement" product, showing how they treat their customers as deaf snobs.

The isolation of Beyer's "semi-open" design is, in my opinion, not entirely "0". in comparison to so called "earspeakers" like STAXs, K1000, or even HE500, semi-openness delivers some isolation, indeed very slight but can be meaningful in some occasion. measured difference is about...

I have a similar experience like yours: Later S/Ns aren't necessarily smoother. My 1201 have a lot more even treble response than relatively later S/Ns: against 19xx and 10xxx. It was definitely something to keep and I have never made any comparisons since then. So I don't have any idea about...

A report from a very early serial user. (Gen.1, 1201) I bought my T1 in 2012, and have been enjoying it without any "piercing treble" problem. But I know what this problem is, because I had this problem with another early serial T1 (19xx), which I bought and sold away in... maybe 2010. I...

I am somewhat sensitive to sibilance so I sold dt880 today... and I'm looking for a more soft, warm cans maybe... I will never choose Grados... but I like punch bass! I used hd25 about one year ago and I loved them although I felt them a little harsh. I'm looking for a...
