I would suggest the ATH-ANC7b ... isolates significantly better than the M50 and has a warmer sound.

Honestly, it's quite easy in my opinion...   A) - A good, controled bass is very important to you - You feel comfortable with a neutral to cold sound signature (read: you can live with recessed mids) - You don't need perfect isolation (from the outside in), just a decent/good one -...

Quote:   Nah, you shouldn't be afraid to ask. ;)   I'm concerned with mainly two things that held me back from buying the HA-S500 right away (because it actually looks quite stunning!):   1. Reading the different reviews and impressions it wasn't quite clear if the mids were just...

Quote:   Yeah, I can believe that. ;) But the HA-S500 doesn't look very interesting to me. I think I'm quite covered with the DTX501p - at least for portable use.

Quote: Honestly, the PX-100 doesn't stand a chance. The DTX501p is better in every aspect - except in terms of comfort, because I can wear the PX-100 all day long without realizing it. The Beyers bass is significantly more accurate. The mids are better and not recessed. The PX-100 is nice...

Hey there,   just got my Beyer DTX501p from the post office today. Didn't get much listening time so far but from the few tracks I threw at the Beyer I am quite impressed. Very good (read: accurate) bass response, extremely good mids (especially for a portable headphone) and quite...

Quote:   The earcups and the fit is really comfortable. Only the handband could use a little more cushioning due to the weight of the L1. SQ-wise I would say that they are quite neutral with nice bass. I haven't heard the HD25-II but from what I've read so far I would say that there is a...

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the term 'Philip's strech' ... what do you mean?

Quote:   I own a pair of Fidelio L1s myself and I really wouldn't call them 'portable'! It's true, that you see some folks walking around with a K701 or HD600 or RS1... but at least for me the L1 (and all those other headphones I mentioned) would be way to bulky and to open for portable...

Quote:   Thanks a bunch, postrock! I think I'll give it a try and buy those cans. :) Heck, it's my birthday in 3 days so I should treat myself to a nice pair of headphones... ;)   best regards. bearmann

Thanks a bunch for your impressions on the DTX501p, postrock! MUCH appreciated as I'm currently looking for new ultraportables.   If you find some spare time could you do me a favor and listen to some of the following tracks?   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KDqg7y2iEo (dubstep) How's...

Hey there. :)   I could need a little advice from you guys...   Looking for a new pair of ultra-portables for the library. At the moment I'm using an old pair of PX-100 and already owned V-Jays, which I like quite a lot but they're broken.   So it's time for new headphones... and I'm...

Hey hey,   could u guys do me a favor and try some dubstep on those KRKs?   Like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KDqg7y2iEo   How good are they in reproducing the low end? Is there still punch in the (sub) bass?   Thanks a lot! :)   bearmann

Hey there rhfactor1,   just wanted to say 'thanks' for your review. I stumbled upon the TH-7B through headfonia and couldn't quite believe his _very_ positive review of those cans. What you wrote sounds quite realistic though and I think I will give those Fostex a try. :)   How well do...

Quote: You're absolutely right, probably because I never had a CDP. :D But I would leave ANY source device inside "Dedicated Source" section. I would just abandon any DAC/Amp combo device to the other category.    Quote:   Hmmm... this is probably nice for new people, but then...

Hi, I think that we should talk about a new and up-to-date structure of the Equipment Forums. Why?   Nowadays there are more and more DAC/amp combos out there than ever before. And the/my problem is, that you just don't know where to post anything about such a combo device.   A little...

Does somebody of you know the (voltage) gain of the uDac-2?

bump.. any new impressions???

Very neat, sepinho!   I love how practical and organized everything is... perfect!    regards. bearmann

Thanks for the clarification, toughnut!   Can anybody say a word regarding bass quality (how fast, how much kick bass?) and mids?   thanks! bearmann   Quote:

I am interested in those cans but I wonder how comfortable they are - especially on big heads like myself. Any experiences guys?   Also: How strong is the pressure from the headband? How long does it take till your ears start to hurt? Or doesn't they hurt at all?   How would you rate...

@ Lunatique   Wonderful work place. I especially like the 'Lost in Translation' poster and the upper door poster... but your headphones are also nice.

Looks like a neat little DAC. Any chance that this little thingy gets USB in the near future? (there are some Notebook users out there after all... )   regards. bearmann
