Quote: Which, to be honest, would mark the third time that US brings back the Edition7-sound signature. ;) But I do agree - I'd like the Signature Pro to be near the Edition 9's sounding. To my ears a very impressive, yet cultivated sound. But, also, the only US so far to fit my...

Good evening, folks, so Uwe (member of Sennheiser) answered some questions on the German hifi-forum.de already and I thought that I'd use some time to translate it for you. Please don't be mad at me because of mistakes - I hope you can decrypt the meaning of each question. So here...

Hi, carm! I just happened to read this topic - the solution you suggested would be the best in terms of sound quality. If you would prefer to adjust volume of your Adam A7s via the MKIV [note: I do not know if the LittleDot has a pre-amp function, just assuming it has?], then you'll have to...

Just out of curiousity - what was the average retail price for the RX900 when this thread started? Not that I find them terribly expensive, but I do feel they could have been cheaper some time ago. Thanks in advance!

Hi 12v, I do think you should upgrade to a full size 'phone, if you are missing soundstage when listening to your current setup. The Etymotic ER4 seem to be quite prominent in highs, so if you like this soundsignature, the K701 could be a quite good option for you. Besides that I would...

For me, technically a 32Ohm headphone is much more easy to drive than a 250Ohm Headphone as you need less current to gain the same power output from your headphone. That's the physic's part of the story. If the bass of your DT990s is now less controlled as is was with your Gilmore Lite then I...

Hi tjumper, why don't you sell your 250Ohm DT990 and buy a new 32Ohm DT990 from the Beyerdynamic manufacture?

Hello Bob007, Quote: Originally Posted by Bob007 No closed ones? Should they be? In my point of view you get a quite good value with open headphones in the pricerange <500-600$, especially if you are looking for "honest" headphones. Good allrounders that tend to be quite...

@nick: In my opinion - the HD600 play Rock well and considerably better than HD650s. Those, the HD650s, have too dominant bass and taken back highs for me to really play Rock as it is meant to. Well, at least this goes for "dirty Rock", i'd suppose. Rock-Ballads go quite well with both of the...

@MONVMENTVM: (Hi back, there ) Thank you for supporting me. "Colored" is exactly the term I've been desperately searching for. Neither the HD650 nor the HD600 are neutral headphones, that's true. But especially the HD600 are less coloured than the (compared to other manufacturers) quite...

In my point of view the SR 225 is the "best" of the standard grados [~ non-wood models], as it does not have the harsh highs and slightly... "strange" (or more unnatural as other SRs) sounding of the 325i. But, what I have to ask is: why do you think that a Grado would do a good job for you...

I've seen some Shure SE530 in a small Tupperware case - quite funny, in a some strange way. Besides the rather weird look it's definitely a safe, dry and durable place to keep your headphones.

The Super.Fi 3 might satisfy you, but I'm not quite sure, if they're definitely the best headphones for you... after all, in my opinion, the Super.Fi 3 excel in reproducing clear mids [compared to others in this price range]. Note that UE might be very uncomfortable for one's ears. The way...

I'm not quite sure, what you expect from new HPs, Julienalt. The PX100 are simply better than your AKGs, imho. They have a clear, natural bass (compared to other portables at least) and play really nice. But as the topic is to find bassy headphones, I'd consider the K81DJ even more than the...

Hi! In my point of view the HD650 are - as you wrote before - real great headphones when just listening to music. But when it comes to TV or DVD-films, I personally feel that the HD650 aren't worth the money you have to pay more compared to the HD595, which do a really good job on films...

Don't know if I misunderstood you, hope not, but I just heard PortaPros some days ago, that "rattled" a bit too. The problem was, that a little hair found it's way to the membrane and touched it a bit. Maybe you just look to make sure it is no hair that rattles before you send them to Koss?

I love my Beyerdynamic DT880s - although they made me addicted to headphones! For me pleasure has silver velours-pads

@facelvega: thanks for correcting me I just thought, that the new DT990 is only available in the "pro" version, as it can be found on beyer's homepage @trose49: 'bout the 770pro I just heard 2 important things from a friend: sounds very 3 dimensional, the sound itself is similar to 990. But...

Yes, in my humble opinion you will get with the DT880 a better headphone than with a DT990. It deserves the "high-end" entitlement more than a DT990 ever will. By the way: What edition of DT880 would you get for 150$?

Have you ever heard the DT990? It has pretty much and strong bass, very present heights (far away from a neutral sounding headphone). In my opinion it doesn't live up to its "brother", the DT880, which is more detailled and creates an overwhelming soundstage. The DT990 is far more a Headphone...

Hey, Madman in my opinion the razer look definitely the same as the CX300 or EP630 (in creatives case they have the same technical data too). In addition the m100 come from a manufacturer that hasn't come up with good headphones yet, so i would prefer the creative or sennheiser, just to make...

well, if you like plenty of bass, then the EP630 would be a good option for you. What i really missed was to test the cable disruptions in detail, sorry - I just put the Creatives on and walked some time. There I couldn't hear bad disruptions, but the cable didn't move very much (had it under...
