Which one sounds better?

HFI 780?

I'm looking for some new headphones. I don't know exactly how to describe what I'm looking for but the following qualities should be of use:   Soundstage depth, not width Imaging? Spaciousness? Rich lower extension (no, I'm not a basshead)? Surround sound Full sound? Immersive...

I have been looking for some AKG K501s for many many months now to no avail. 

I was wondering. I know the DT 48 can do it, but I don't like vintage stuff.

I want to know why all the good deal headphones have been discontinued. Sennheiser HD 580 AKG K501 AKG K1000 Now everyone has to purchase used ones for a price higher than the prices when they were still produced.

I know it is the K1000, but are there any headphones below $150 that will sound like speakers?

The E7 is FiiO's latest addition to their line of portable amps. The E7 also serves as a DAC, not to mention that it is the first amp ever to have a dual color OLED screen. Build The E7 is quite the solid amp, and the casing is sturdy and metallic. It's case actually feels hard and...

Is there anything that can compete with the K1000 sound and/or Stax sound for under $100? Looking for an upgrade.

Hi all. I was looking at the PA2V2 initially, but realized that it is not well suited for 300ohm headphones. I have $75 to spend on an amp. I am not interested in DIY, so the amps will be pre-made: 1. AMB Mini3 - very hot amp on head fi, compares to $200 amps 2. Penguine Caffeine 3...

Too many people are trying to buy the PA2V2s right now. Are there any amps that compare to the PA2V2 with similar price?

I've been looking at the PA2V2, but the sale prices are way too expensive. It seems as if people are scrambling for them. Therefore, are there any portable amps that are better than the PA2V2 for around $50?

Hi, I read that the PA2V2 bests the Fiio E5 in SQ, but the PA2V2 costs a heck of a lot more than the E5 ($60 vs $20). So is there any competition to the PA2V2 that is cheaper than it? Thanks

$139.85 new shipped. I better not get ripped off by this price.

Why I'm angry? I saw a Sennheiser HD 580 (HD600 basically) for $130 shipped yesterday on eBay. Today when I checked, it was gone. So I thought to myself this question; how come as time progresses, things get more expensive, the price and performance ratio of things become more favorable to the...

I have two questions regarding the Sansa Fuze and the Rockbox firmware: 1. Does Rockbox make the fuze sound better than an unaltered fuze in terms of overall sound quality? 2. Is the current Rockbox firmware for the Fuze safe enough to install, or will there be a high chance of bricking...

Is there any other DAP out in the market that offers unrivaled SQ besides the AMP3 and Hifiman 800(sp?)? I'm asking this because the amp3 is quite expensive , while the price of the hifiman 800 is inconceivable; there are no used amp3s in the for sale forum. If there are really no DAP with even...

All I care about is SQ. Need a sub $50 DAP for flac. Will be using an ATH AD700 as headphone.

Even after burn in, my AD 700 is harsh on songs consisting of female vocals when words beginning with the letter "s" is sang. The problem is especially prevalent in older or bad recordings, but is not limited to them. It seems to affect more or less 80% of my female vocal songs. Is this normal...

My AD700s arrived about 15 minutes ago as I am writing this. Straight out of the box listening: 3 questions Some details, maybe treble, was really harsh. Kind of hard to drive with a DAP Where's the soundstage? Is it because there's no burn in yet? If so, I'll do a full review later...

Hi, I have a full size headphones (AT AD700) coming in, and I was wondering how I should tweak the music settings of my Sony Walkman NWZ A815 to accommodate the headphones: DSEE (Sound Enhance): should I have this turned on or off? Clear Stereo: Should I have this turned on? and if so w/...

I could not wait any longer and bought the AT AD700s at $78.15. At one time, the AD700s were $68 + $8 shipping = $76. So basically, I got ripped off $2.18 buying these headphones. On the plus side, at least now I get to put a new headphone into my sig.

Think about it, some Sennheiser and Grado headphones have been out for more than a decade that are still being sold today. And their price has been constant all these years. The PS2/xbox etc all had their price drops after their peak, so why not headphones?

Where can I find a good deal on the AT AD700? Amazon has it for 90 or so dollars, but it used to have them for $68.

Hi, I have a Sony NWZ A815 2GB player and for some reason WAV (lossless) files sounds "flat" as compared to .mp3 format files. I'm about to get a hifi AT AD700 headphone, so I need a player to play lossless (any true blue lossless) files that doesn't sound flat playing them. I have about $75...
