Excellent, cheers for that :)   Quote:    

Hi all,   Just received a pair of Denon AH-D1001 from a classified ad elsewhere, and just wondering if they are fakes? The packaging is cheaper than I would expect from a premium brand (and not very well put together), and I spotted a spelling mistake on the box - I don't expect spelling...

You are an absolute star, thanks :)   Just wondering, my DT990 is, what I believe is called, the 2010 edition (pretty sure they 'revised' the models in 2010, much like they did in 2005). I was wondering if I might have a driver from the previous range, but then again Polar Audio claimed the...

Are you sure you wouldn't mind? That would be very generous of you, thanks!

Anyone got any ideas? I've never had a driver replacement on any of my cans before. Is it possible the new driver needs burning in, or is there a difference between Pro / Non-Pro drivers?   I would ask Beyerdynamic but since they've not replied to any of my service emails, and their replies...

Hi all,   Absolutely loved my Beyerdynamic DT990 Manufaktur (600ohm) which I ordered a couple of months back. After one month, the right hand driver died, so I emailled Beyerdynamic in Germany (the contact details on the invoice I received) with no reply. I then used the 'contact us' form on...

Cheers for the comments everyone :)   I've been using them tonight gaming with the Aune (which is currently up for sale), just amping my Xbox 360's RCA cables, and it seemed to have no problem at all driving them.   Hmm... interesting. I read so many posts saying 'YOU NEED TEH MAJOR TUBE...

Quote: Well, basically, it's just a case of comparing the headphones (straight out of my laptop) against the headphones running out of an amplifier. You should get the volume exactly right between the two, and look for any differences in the sound :)

This is ridiculous, they sound absolutely stunning from my netbook, without an amp. Will be nice when the amp gets here so that I can A/B between the two, but it's going to be hard to the amp to really improve on this to be honest.   

I'm on the way back from a hospital appointment with mum, and dad calls me to let me know he's just signed for a parcel. I assume it's my amplifier / DAC, which would be expected as they were posted at the end of last week, whereas the Beyerdynamic DT990s I ordered claimed a 3 week delivery time...

I quite like Grados - I've had the SR60i / SR225 / SR325i / SR325is and GS1000, as well as Alessandro MS2 and MS2i   Couple of things though :   1) Cable design. Bloody awful. I *love* chunky cables, but I should not, for £300, be afraid of the earcups turning around too much and the...

I did try using the search tool, but it returned millions of unrelated threads so I gave up! :D   Decided to treat myself to a new pair of cans and settled on a new Manufaktur set of DT990s, 600ohm model. They will be here in about 2 weeks I imagine, so that gives me time to investigate amps...

Hi :D

The seller from ' lambayrules ' a.k.a. ' mp3-amplifier ' on eBay informed me earlier that his stock of the E9 has arrived (whether this stock is only for pre-orders or not, I have no idea!)   I'm quite tempted, but I assumed it had a USB DAC built in, which it doesn't. However, he's working...

Oh, I don't know, I said I would gladly donate without entering the raffle anyway due to the problems with converting the amp for UK voltage anyway, so I'm not fussed if I can't get the amp " class="bbcode_smiley" files.head-fi.org="" height="" http:="" images="" p="" smilies=""...

... phew, got in just in time

Open to UK? If I did win I'd pay all the postage, and if I can't enter I'll chuck a few £'s into the kitty anyway 

Well, after a couple of days use, following the fitment advice above - no ear pain at all!   (I've been using for a couple of hours a night, typically 11:30>01:30)   Love the imaging of them, however am finding (contrary to others) that the bass might be overwhelming the treble a tiny...

I'm probably the opposite - I had the SR80, SR225 and SR325i(and then 325is).   I didn't find the SR225 enough of an improvement on the SR80 to justify the higher price (in the UK, the SR80 was about £99, and the SR225 was about £199). I'd probably say that as far as the plastic bodied Grado...

... bit like the MDR-7509HD specification isn't it?   Sony MDR-7509HD Spec :   Don't get me wrong - I don't fall for frequency response charts, instead trusting my own ears - but the specs here would suggest to me that Sony are just repackaging a cheap, existing driver in another...

Quote:   ... fantastic advice, cheers!   Just got back from work  (23:00 in the UK) and have got the parcel, definitely new and sealed, and very happy with the service from the seller (I won't name-drop, but I'm sure you can find the seller on eBay if required).   It's a bit late...

... missed the Fedex delivery man (they weren't due to arrive until tomorrow!).   Oh well, will have to wait another day to get my hands on them :(

Quote: 120€ ?! :O   Damn, I wish I spotted some at that price :)   You do get foam 'sleeves' which cover most of the tube up, however the mods I've seen are more to do with where the pipe pushes against / sits on your ear. My discomfort might have been because I was wearing them...

I'm going to give the Sony PFR-V1 another shot - I was thinking about what I want from headphones, and in the end I've decided to try a pair of PFR-V1, and also a nice pair of closed cans (still not made my mind up on which ones).   The PFR-V1 seem to be going for really low prices at the...

Not got my exact prescription here, but I know I'm -5.50/-5.75 and have a slight astigmatism in my left eye :)
