Sorry writing fast. I meant the wired headphones were annoying on the commute. Love my Beyer 1350s but that wire.

Hi All, At home wired headphones are fine but I was needing a wireless set because the wireless set was getting annoying on my commute. Took a while but I found the closest I feel to wired headphones in a wireless. They are the Sony MDR-10RBT. When wired they are as good as any other wired if...

Guess the Senn and The DT 1350 is the best choices. They just hurt my ears when wear long periods. Anyone try the new T51p

I love the DT 880 250 Ohm but he would need something to drive them. Video game console is not going to do them justice. Also I found them to be about equal bass to the AD700. He wants more.

Exactly. We are on the same page. It seemed like he enjoyed the AD700 but wanted an upgrade. Hence my suggesting the HD598.

Another choice is the v-mode m-80. Although the isolation is not as good as the HD-25 they sound pretty good for a portable.

The M50s do not have a detacheable cable. Not sure you will find a decent detachable cable phone under 200. Spend a little more and look at Mad Dogs by Mr. Speaker. If not detacheable then check out the sennheiser HD-25's. You can get them for under 200 now.

Then I would go with the DT 990. Another option would be the sennheiser HD598. They are good all around for what you want.

Hope I am not to late to give my opinion. I do not think you would be happy with the DT 770 for what you want. I read one other post about the sennheiser HD598. They are great for what you need. Check them out.

Sorry I just saw you wanted all around. If portable and travel are in this then those are poor choices because every one else will hear what you hear. Might make people angry :-)

From what you are needing I would say you have made some good choices. Top of the list I would do the DT 990 because of the video games. You will get more clarity in the lows and sound effects in the video games with the DT 990.

Hi All, I am extremely happy at home with my HiFiman HE-400 and grado SR80 but I am still missing something on my portable: 1. Currently I am using some etymotic but I do not want in ear 2. I have DT 1350 but they hurt after a while even with velour 3. I have HD 25 as well and they do not...

I tried both and preferred the 1350.  After learning the sweet spot I went back to find the sweet spot on the T50p and still preferred the DT1350.

Hi Beagle,   I had to ask.  Have you played with the Beyerdynamic DT1350 much.  I thought they were blah in the beginning.  They are a bit tricky to find the sweet spot.  I was playing with them for days then one day I put them on in a way never before and they were transformed into...

Hi All,   I converted 150 of my cds over to ALAC.  Tried FLAC as well.  Could not really tell the difference and using IPOD so ALAC made sense.  Not sure what happened.  If it was burn in or music conversion but where as before I was listening to the 400s at 5 -5.5 now I am listenining very...

Ok.  So I will back burner the DAC for now.  Is Lyr worth the 300 difference over the O2 amp.  What about ibasso amps?

Would the O2+ODAC combo for $285 work good for me to play the ALAC/FLAC tracks on ipod with 400s.  You mentioned and it is not portable but can definately move from room to room.  For later I would do Schiit but probably not Lyr.  Maybe Asgard.  For me always liked tube.  My stereo at home is...

Cool.  So I will take all my music cds and convert to ALAC and put on ipod to listen to at home.  I will take all the music and convert to 256 mp3s for the walks and play on iphone.   Yeah that amp is major pricey.  Like the Ray Samuels SR71-B.    I think I will stick with the mp3s and...

Hi IEMCrazy,   Thanks for the reply.  You rock.  Now that I have these I want better music.  I have always been lazy and pandora with the high quality streaming did well with the HD25-1 II.  I will never listen to these on a train because they are open but outdoors and house hell yes so I...

Hi IEMCrazy,   I had my first listen on the HE-400 after 15 hour burn in.  Here are my impressions.  Just wanted to know thoughts.   1.  The sound is not as in your face as the HD25-1 II.  I like it 2.  HD 25-1 II had times where the treble was a bit much.  Not with the HE-400 3.  I...

Hi All,   Just wanted to thank you all for the reqs.  I have ordered my HE-400.  I am planning to run them out of my fio E11 to start.  Will keep everyone posted on how that works out.   Sincerely, Larry

One more question then I am all set. How about the ultrasone pro 900 balanced. Would that give what I want ? Only reason is I can get what I believe is a good deal from b&h. $450

Can you recommend another amp to pair with the HE-400

After input from here and research this is the setup I am looking at HE-400 Ray Samuels SR-71B balanced amp 6 moon balanced cable Do you think this would be a good setup? A big step up from the HD25-1 an fiio setup or I just wasting money and there are cheaper better options for the price By...

Thank you for the input.  I will look into the Hifiman 400 and 500.  I have just one more to throw into mix.  Have you or anyone else heard the new Denon music maniac line?  If good this could give me on the go as well as a step up in audio.
