Hi guys, I recently bought a Bottlehead Crack and I paired it with Modi DAC. However, I can hear a slight humming noise coming out of the headphones (tried with my HD700 and UE900). Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks a lot! :) Regads, HC

I bought the Sennheiser HD700 and I wasn't completely happy with it, though I was listening to it through the headphone jack of my receiver with unknown specs or quality. Based on reviews I decided to try the Grado RS1i. I like it a lot. Today I received the JDS Labs C5D and now the HD700 sounds...

My Magnolia guy just called me and told he got some Senn HD700s returned, and they're perfect.  Now, I just picked up the P7s Friday, but he said he could price them to where I could do an even trade in for the HD700.  Problem is, I don't have an amp yet.   I guess the only way I could really...

Hi Everyone,   I’m a long time voyeur of these forums, but this is my first post (please be gentle).   I have a bit of an obsession with lovely things and often I obtain more than I really need. I really love a lot of Sennheiser equipment and I have quite a few items of theirs. I have the...

Which would pair better with a set of Sennheiser HD 700's? Bifrost/Lyr     vs     Bifrost/Valhalla      vs      Bifrost/Asgrad 2     vs Woo Audio 7

A lot of Sennheiser aficionados have been waiting for Sennheiser's own balanced cables for their flagship HD headphones since they were first shown.   The Sennheiser CH 650 S (for the Sennheiser HD 600/650), CH 700 S (for the Sennheiser HD 700), and the CH 800 S (for the Sennheiser HD 800)...

I'm all about getting the best bang for the buck. I get really excited when I discover a new pairing that really is greater than the sum of the parts. I think a lot of the fun in this hobby goes towards discovering different combinations of amps and headphones. So list what you've discovered so...

I e-mailed Sennheiser to ask them if they were developing/releasing a new headphone. 3-5 days later I got this response. Thank you for your interest! Yes, their is a new model The HD800 coming next year... They planning early next year. I wil keep you inform since I have a few who...

I've been working hard to construct a legitimate A/B testing environment for source gear.  Combined with my co-workers, we have a huge number of amps, including all 5 Schiit amps.  After A/Bing sever Schiit units, we've found that our Lyr and our Asgard exhibit a pretty sharp channel imbalance...

Back when i upgrade my regular apple buds to my current DT990 pro, there was a HUGE increase in sound quality.  it was the first time i experience what you guys mean by soundstage, deep punchy base, clarity etc.   However, the other day, i was at bestbuy and i sample all their high end...

I'm getting the Sennheiser HD 700 and not sure which AMP + DAC combo to make it shine, anyone with good recommendations? I like trebles and mid range mostly and don't care much for bass.

Hi everyone!   I just wanted to share some advice with anyone, especially junior head-fiers and lurkers, who are looking to enter the high fidelity market. I was introduced to the world of hifi about half a year ago. Being a single bachelor with a job out of college, thus having spare cash...

Hi,   I was wondering if someone who owns the HD700 (or has studied one in detail) can advise me on how the headband design works please? I was specifically wondering if it uses the same sort of design as the much older HD600 and HD650 (wide, thin, strong black metal spring) or whether it...

Hello fellow head-fiers, I'm ordering a pair of HD700 in a few weeks and I'm looking for an amp to pair with them. I'm stuck between the wa3 and wa6. Ideally I would want the wa7 but that is out of my budget. I plan to also get a Schiit bifrost down the line but an amp is more pressing at the...

Oops, sorry, I'll post this in the help section...

I am seriously considering buying sennheiser HD700 or Grado RS1i. In order to make a choice I want to audition them first but as an international student I have no idea where can I do so. I live in Worcester which is near Boston. Does anyone know whether there is any audiophile store which...

I have had my ATH-M50s for six months, and my Beyerdynamic DT-1350 for a month. They both sound great! Anyway, I am thinking of moving ahead to a high-end headphone (the sennheiser hd700). In my upgrade, I am searching for something closer to the big sound produced by speakers. My question is...

Hey folks, don't post much here, I'm more of a lurker around this place.   I've got an Asus Xonar Essence STX in my rather nice PC build right now, I'm mostly watching movies, surfing the web (youtube and stuff) and playing games, also about to be doing some music as well. With the sound...

iv been looking at possibly the C4.. but im not sure if i should just get a desktop.. is there much difference in price/quality full size vs portable?

Hi, as you can probably tell I am new to head-fi and I am not an audiophile just yet. I previously used Sony in-ear and overhead headphones and a few sennheiser low end models.   I always felt the need to buy some high end headphones but always replaced it with headphones which are slightly...

When not using the desktop amp and playing movies or music through my HDDS. Thank you.

are the specs on the 700s roughly the same as the c4? or.. better question, is the c4 going to be able to put out enough juice to power the 700s to their full potential?

For about a year now I have been looking into the Sennheiser HD 700 headphones. And I was going to pair them with a hifiman ef2a. But I heard from a guy that if you buy headphones in the league of the HD 700 then you will need a much nicer amplifier. So I was wondering what would be the best...

price range is up to $500 laptop is the source, anyone?

I am searching for a pair of headphones that works good, usually, i hear house, chillwave, inditronice and indie pop. I like the senn hd800, but they are more expensive and need a good amp to move them. Then i check the hd700, that does'nt need a powerfull amp like the hd800, but a friend talk...
