I have the d5000s w audio gd compass.   Is it worth getting the hd650s? I kinda want a new toy but absolutely love the d5000s.   I am set on source, speakers, and portable.   Also have modded d1001, re-2, and s4i.   My other interest is getting the image x10 but leaning towards...

I've had a pair of Denon AH-D1001 for almost three years now. They are my first pair of headphones costing more than about $20. I've been using them without an amp. They've revolutionized the way I listen to and appreciate music. However, they have taken some bumps over the years, due in part to...

So I'm not an audiophile...yet. As I haven't tried "high-end" phones much, I only use Generic ones. I've tried Studio Beats though, and I like the bass but it got ****ty reviews here so I was opting for Grado SR-60i because people said it was good for starters but I've changed my mind, I want...

So,   I am looking to get a new pair of headphones soon to replace my Denon- AHD1001's which I am giving to my brother.   I live with 5 other guys in a house so I need closed headphones for privacy and keeping sound from leaking out of my room.   I am really just looking for a well...

Hey. I'm getting into headphones and, after looking around a bunch, decided to come to this forum. I currently own a pair of Koss Portapros (this is my first pair of headphones by the way) and want to upgrade. I'm mostly upgrading for three reasons: I want better sound quality (the Portapros are...

Hi, here is the story : I was about to buy IEMs for better isolation than SJ5s + better SQ, SH CX6 is quite cheap model in the Czech Republic (95 euro), but... I had pain in my right ear for few days. I'm pretty sure it was an infection, but I treated it with corticosteroids in one balsam...

Considering that Tyll Hertsens thinks these sound better than the original Denon D1001 (http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/creative-aurvana-live-classic-reincarnate), I think this is a pretty good deal...

I am currently looking for a new set of headphones and have narrowed it down to either the shure 535 or the over ear 940.     Would the cheaper 940 sound better due to the larger drivers or can the 535 really deliver comparable sound.   I currently own the ultimate ears triple 10 and...

So, can anybody tell me the difference between these 2? I'm thinking of getting one of them for my 1st step to headphone. So far, the only thing i know is the d1100 has more bass, to the extend that some people says its too much, and more expensive. Aside from that? what about the d1001? is...

Hello Head-Fier's,   I'm modding my  Creative Aurvana's for  about 6 Month now and I have already modded several for other Hi-Fiers and friends out there. I haven't planed to publish my mod therefore I haven't got too many pictures.   Differences between Creative AL & Denon D1000/10001...

Hello.   I'm going to buy my first set of headphones after using some cheap IEM's for a long time. First off, I'm not really familiar with the open versus closed cans. I know that open is supposed to leak more audio in and out but my only concern in sound quality, and I don't care about...

Here is a my review which was also posted on amazon First off let me say I own the Shure 440 and 840, I am not fond of either of them. I find their sound to be too powerful and harsh, especially their bass. People claim it to be accurate, but how can this be if nearly everyone agrees the...

Hello everyone, I'm new here and am a total newbie at headphones. I'm looking to pick up my first set of headphones and have actually looked around.    For now, I prefer the headphones to be able to play well without amps. I like more of pop rock music, however, don't really know how to...

* I have read the other old thread on this topic and does not have the answers i need and i have also read the Denon 1001 recabling thread.       Well, just 10 days after my 1year Creative guarantee expired the right speaker on my CALs has suddenly stopped sounding (no punishment, just...

I am looking for a recommendation for a closed headphone under 300 dollars (or so) that is good for rock and has a very forward sound stage. I recently bought a pair of Grado SR 225i's and thought they were too "thin" sounding and lacked low end. However, I did like their upfront sound stage and...

Hey,   I'm on the lookout for a new set of 'phones for gaming and music use. I have a budget of approximately £50 and don't want to go much over it.   Suggestions I received so far include the Shure SHR240s, JVC HA-RX700s, and the Sennheisers HD448s.   Are there any others I should...

I suppose this is a fairly obvious one, but has anyone given some lateral thought to the issue of an in-flight optimized system? Just as food and wines taste remarkably different at 33,000ft (cabin pressure, low air humidity etc.), it stands to reason that headphones will sound different under...

I know...I know...the JVC HA-RX700's have been done death in other threads, but I wanted to start this one with a fresh perspective of observations to unmodded-unaltered headphones. Also would like to find out specificly your listening observations through which equipment is being used; the...

Fostex T50RP or Denon AH-D1001?   For listening pleasure, studio monitoring, and djing.  I'm also considering the Audio Technica ATH-AD700, but more as a compliment to the other options.  So maybe I'll eventually get that, too.   I assume the Stanton DJ 2000 is not anywhere close to the...

Hey everyone,   long time lurker, first time poster. Well...i've posted in the Buy/Sell forum, but yeah, first post here.   Anyway...here is the dillema.   I'm looking for some new cans for my iPhone + home use, so been doing a lot of research.   Some prices in Melbourne...

I posted something in the other thread but I think it got missed...   Anyways here goes.   I want to spend some money on new headphones and an amp but I need to know a few things first.   I'm looking at a few headphones mostly gaming. Most people recommend something with wide...

A friend recently was talking to me about headphones, asking what would be good and so forth for a budget and it got me thinking. I gave the popular solutions when I realized one of them, the Denon D1001, are out of stock and have been replaced by the D1100. I wanted to know what the hubbub was...

I was just interested in seeing how many Head-Fi-er's get asked about not wearing the Beats (Studio, Solo, etc.). Whenever I'm wearing my AH-D1001K's, it feels like someone always asks me why I didn't buy the Beats. Just curious to see if there is a staggering number of people that constantly...

I saw these mentioned on the forums here, and decided they were worth a try. Worth it they are. At just under $60 shipped from Buy.com these phones impressed me right off. 1st thing, I chose slow free shipping from Buy on the 7th, and here they are on the 10th. Take a look: JVC HA-RX900...
