Hi head-fiers,   This might sound like a weird question. But.   I'm looking to bring a headphone amp/dac to work and my criteria are two fold. Firstly I'd like something that'll de-muddify the mids of AT W1000X headphones and power them nicely. But equally as importantly, I need it to be...

I been using my A900X's for a long while, I do enjoy the headphones very much but their ear-pads started to hurt my left Ear. I tried twisting  the pads around, Thinking that it was on wrong. But that doesn't solve the problem. I def do not want to change from the A900x. But I was wondering if...

Yep, this is another "what should I get" thread, but I now have ether-c headphones. I'm keeping this up as it might help others.             Company Model ohm MSRP Price Weight (g) AKG K553 Pro 32 199 305 Alpha Design Lab H128 68 430 330 Alpha Design Lab H128 68     Audeze EL-8...

Hi All, I currently have the Grado RS1i's but I am looking for a closed headphone that is equivalent because I want to use my headphones at work and do not want everyone around me to hear what I am listening to. Please give me your recommendations. I will be looking to trade my Grado's...

I've had the ATH-M50s for about two years now and they're great!  The problem, however, is that I've shown them to my dad and now I can't ever use them.  So I'm using this opportunity to move up to the next step.  I'm considering a few options:   Darth Beyer V4 (Terminators) Denon...

So...I finally got my customized Beyerdynamic from their fine Manufaktur website. It took over a month, apparantly they had some problems making enough leather pads. My custom Beyer is a DT990 32 ohm, with blue rings and forks, and leather headband and pads (not in pictures). The real...

Back in November 2010 I purchased a pair of Studios at the airport so I could listen to my iphone on the plane.  Didn't really listen to them too much after that and gave them to my stepdaughter (no, I wasn't trying to be mean to her...really).  Well, she didn't use them very much but actually...

Oh collective head-fi group mind -- please tell me where (in your opinion) are the really fantastic audio (and headphone) shops in Taipei. I'm looking forward to your suggestions.

I recently decided to get a good pair of headphones for use in the office, hopefully someone here can recommend a pair.  Up until now whenever I wanted to listen to music in the office I would use the klipsch reference s4, but I stopped because in-ear headphones just aren't very comfortable for...

Hi all,   Noble IEM's obviously intrigue me based on the consensus as well as their absolutely stunning, unparalleled looks.   I had a look on their website, but thought I'd like some more opinions on which ones of their customs would be comparatively more mids focused. Amazingly smooth...

So guyz I've finally got both my wood closed backs with me again, and it's time to decide if I'm going to keep them both as I intended to... or if one is indeed better than the other!       

Hello,   I commute 4 hours a day and am looking for a pair of cans on the go. My source is Theorem 720 DAC/AMP taking it's digital signal from my iphone 5. Headphones used currently are Ultrasone Pro 900 with silver plated OCC copper cable. I love the sound however the isolation and leakage...

They might be gaming headphones, but they do really look beautiful. They also claim to be "audiophile level sound quality." An interesting choice of words for a gaming company to use to describe a product. Just thought i'd bring this product up to your guys (and girls) attention. official...

I'm tempted to swap out my current ATH-A900X (Velour pads) headphones for the ATH-A900XLTD or ATH-W1000X. The price is the same. Anyone have any ideas on how those two headphones (A900XLTD & W1000X) would compare to each other?

I am looking to upgrade from my ATH A900X and I don't know where to turn. If anyone wants to recommend a non-Audio Technica headphone that's perfectly fine too, but I'm just comfortable with ADT. Can anyone tell me if the ATH-W1000x is good enough (better than the A900X) to justify a purchase...

Hello All! This is my second review, and given the class these headphones exude, I will do my absolute best to do them justice with the quality of my review. I plan on doing more reviews on my various headphones, so please do comment as to how I could have done better, what more I could have...

Sorry for the noob question... I've tried searches, but sifting through the myriad of articles and threads has proved fruitless thus far. Most of the articles and threads refer to the AK10 as a DAC/amp, but there is no mention of it being an amp on the product page at the A&K website.    So...

Is there a thread somewhere that does a comparison of the AT woodies like the w2002 w100 w11 w1k w5k etc etc??? If anyone knows, can you pls post a link cause I cant seem to find one.

Hi head fi , I was gifted with this headphone from a relative , so far I am liking it . I have some questions about it though, I am seeing that the leather pads is sort of dropping off? is there some sort of alternative pad for this headphone rather than the original one? like velour or...

Okay, so the ATH-W1000X is on sale and I need a little extra advice.   Prior to encountering this sale, I was looking at HE-400s at the same price, $399. My problem is, I live in a very remote coastal village--no HiFi shop within 1000km--and cannot personally audition these two phones. So...

Hello, I am looking into Audio Technica headphones and I am considering to buy both a open and closed headphones at the same time. This is a big step up for me. I currently use Audio Technica ATH-ES55 for portable use and I am keeping my ES55 for training/working out. I also have KRK KNS-8400...

Hello! Which headphones would you recommend to complement ATH-W1000X ? My amp is a Trafomatic Head One. HE-500? HE-400? or something else altogether? thanks for your help! dave
