Great news! Thanks a lot for the quick response!

It looks like they are ported. Do they leak any sound out when listening? My previous t-jays leaked an awful lot which made them less usefull for me. Thanks in advance!

To my ears they do sound better than both the PX100 and the very popular PortaPro.

Try the smaller baby blue tri-flanges, I find them giving me a good seal and they are a lot more comfortable too, than the larger tri-flanges.

That Setton model looks like a top of the line piece!

That´s very nice to hear! Congrats! I used to own an old NEC integrated amp that I preffered to the Millet Max I had at the time driving AKG K601 and AKG Sextetts.

Sounds to me like it might have been an issue with the seal of the earphones that caused the drastical difference.

Hi Jazz9! If I remember correctly several of the early posters in the Zero-thread used their HD600 together with the zero and reported excellent results.

Hello Jazz9, I have tried all of the headphones that you are considering except the DT48e, although admittedly not under the best conditions always. We also seem to have quite similar taste in music. To me the HD600 is the clear best choice. I do not think that the HD555 and HD600...

Hi rault. Since all of the headphones you mention are of open design there will not be a lot of isolation to speak of. I have not tried the EH350s, but the PX100 and PortaPro will not give you any isolation at all. For soundquality I prefer the PortaPro over the PX100. If you want...

This might not be the answer that you are looking for. But from my experience, there is not going to be a single piece of gear that will do this for you. Although I will leave my mind open for such a product to exist. I think that the possibility for you to get a recommendation for such a...

Thank you for making this effort!

Whitout any personal experince what so ever. I think you should check out the new Sony XB headphones. The name and construction makes me think they'll have plenty of bass. Good luck!

Quote: The AKG K271S or the newer replacements/derivatives would almost a sure bet. I'll second this.

Quote: Anyways, any suggestions or comments would be very much appreciated. I'd really like to find that 'thundering' bass everyone's talking about Hey solessthanthree! I do not really have any solid advise to give you, more than that if you're thinking of getting another set of cans...

Quote: A beauty from the past... That is a very nice looking headphone! I voted for W100, W5000 and W2002 and the HE90.

As long as he is about to use it portably I don't think it's good to opt. for any Grados more than the iGrado. I prefer the K414 to the unmodded K81DJs I've tried. The headband is quite small on the K81 aswell and do not fit all head well. The cord is also very long 2,5m(~8'). If he can...

This looks to be the first Ultrasone without that old headband design, nice!

Although I have not seen them in real life I think the ATH W5000 look amazing! Closely followed by my ATH W100. I think the nice wooden cups of some of the ATH W-series looks a lot nicer than the L3000(never seen IRL either though) since I'm not a big fan of leather.

Hi ElephantTLK! I'm not to sure you're brother will see a step up in soundq. from any of those headphones. Personally I really liked my AKG K26P, which are the same as the 414. If you opt for the AKG make sure you pick the 414 and not the 416 because that model is inferior in soundq. I belive...

Hey all! I recently bought a HA ELEC mini dac from AudiophileChina. It uses the same DAC-chip as the Zero aswell as the same type of OPA's. I haven't gotten around to switch them out yet, although I already have a pair of LT1364's at hand. I was just wondering if it's possible to use 3*1364...
