Sorry, I don't mean to start another "recommendation" thread, but the Sennheiser line is getting too big now. Have own the Sennheiser 595 for 10 years now. Though their good for home use connected to my stereo, they are not good for portable use without an amp. 120 imp doesn't help. So...

So that's my question. Does anyone know of a headphone that is full-size, open back, that have a similar sound to the Sony MDR-1A? Must be open-back, not closed/sealed back. My full size headphones are: this Sony, Sennheiser HD555, Audio-Technica A900. Looking for something that the Sony, but...

What are some IEMs that are comparable in sound with Sennheiser's MX880 earbuds?   I had listened to some MX980 and MX880 a while back while searching for the best earbuds for me, but decided on the MX880 because the MX980 were too big for me. I purchased the MX880, but ended up returning...

Hello Everyone,   I really don't know anything about portable media players, and I tried searching for this, but I come up with all sorts of results.   I'm looking for a media player to play music and video.  No need for apps and stuff like that.  - Will be used in a car.  - Require...

Sorry, this is not a "which dac" thread. I just need some quick replies.   Office setup. Windows 7 / J River Music Jukebox / FLAC Laptop -> usb cable -> Nuforce uDac original -> PC speakers   Soeaker: I bought a pair of Klipsch Promedia Ultra 2.0 from ebay.  Picked up for $45...

Is there any amp without a volume control? I have a UMC-1 processor. It has no headphone out. I want to have a headphone amp hooked up to a pre-out so that I can use headphones. I want to be able to use the pre's remote to control the volume of the headphone out. So is there a headphone...

I've owned the PX-100 for the past 7-8 years. I've own two pairs. First one was lost, so I bought another pair. The second pair I lost... again. My choices were to buy another PX-100 or the new PX-100 II. I went with the newer PX-100 II for two reasons. 1) I've own the PX-100 for so long that I...

Just as the title states. I love my A900s, but they are way too loose. The A500s I previously had were not THAT loose. I basically can't move my head without it starting to slide off. I went to the store and tried on all A500, A700, and A900. I found that the A500 and A700 both have the same...

I wrote this comparison over at another forum that I usually post on, but because of my impression with the quality of the headphone output of the RME 9632 soundcard, I figured you guys might like this information. So here is my comparison. Test Setup: Speakers: B&W Nautilus 805 Integrated...

...can I come out from hiding without fear of being killed by everyone for asking another 'which senn..' question? ha ha I've read a LOT (maybe all) threads regarding HD580 vs HD595 vs whatever else. I'd like to get a full size pair of Sennheisers mostly for movies. They will NOT be amped...

Which two does should I compare? My test will include: - Panasonic portable CD player without amp - Laptop with Turtle Beach micro playing FLAC/APE files I will do an extensive comparison of the two pairs on the first day, let them burn in for 100 hours, and then do a comparison again. I...

Day 1: Just received my D2 on Friday. I tried it out with Yuin PK3, Sennheiser PX100, and Audio-Technica A500. Very first impression, I'm not too impressed. Build quality is great. Sound quality was... I'm not sure. Bass was a bit more defined and a bit tighter. That's about it. Day 2...

I'm looking at Headroom Bithead, iBasso D2 Boa, or iBasso T2. My use will be as a DAC from my laptop, and also occasional use with my Panasonic SL230 cd player. For both uses, I will be connect Audio-Technica headphones from A500 to A900. All classes of music from jazz, classical, hip-hop, and...

Hi Guys, Just wanted to chime in and get some suggestions. I have my Audio Technica ATH-A500's that I love. I always used them with my Marantz CD player, but by chance realized that my really old Panasonic CD player actually sounds really good. The only thing is that some vocals sound a bit...

Hi Everyone, I'm looking to buy a new laptop for myself, and would like some feedback on the headphone outputs from some of these new laptops. The specs of the laptop don't really need to be discuss. Just the output from the headphone jack. I have a pair of Sennheiser PX100s that I use on the...

The gift is for a person who is not all into audio gear, but appreciates good sound quality. Mainly use their existing headphones to listening to mp3's through their regular Dell computer. Prefers closed/sealed. Music preference included hip-hop, country, balads, soft rock, and some modern rock...

Hello everyone I'm looking for a gift for my brother. He said he doesn't care for anything like mp3s, ATRAC, etc. Just wants one for redbook CD. He's an amatuer musician so he's getting into SQ. He's young (16) so it has to look somewhat cool. I know he rides the subway a lot so I think...

Wife just bought me the Sony MDR-Q55SL as a Valentine's treat. Just something for the gym. They're ok. They're very comfortable. But they leak entirely too much noise so that everyone can hear. I never really heard of the Sony MDR-Q55SL as much as the Koss' KSC50. She asked if I wanted to...

I guess I've narrowed it down to these two players. Unforunately I do not have the leisure of testing these myself, so it's strickly based on reviews on the net. I'm looking for a few features. Slim, can read ID3 tag, sturdy yet lightweight, backlight display, fast (no million second to...

Can someone tell me how sturdy they feel the SlimX-350 is? I'm sorry, but I am not anywhere near a store where I can feel one, and I want one, but I am curious on how sturdy it is? I have a RioVolt SP50 and it's very nice. Good quality. But the lid has a big problem. It latches, and it...

I've been looking for new sealed/closed headphones, and I've come down to these two. Sound quality wise, any suggestions and why? Note: I'm looking for a closed headphone that will sound like as smooth and clear as my Sennheiser HD-570. Thank you.
