Stay away from multimedia speakers if your looking for any type of audiophile sound. Do yourself a favor and step up to a nice set of studio monitors, the difference is amazing! I got rid of my Logitech Z-580's for a set of Samson Resolv 50a's, personally for the price/performance, Samson's...

Needed my Samson studio monitors to find the difference but even then it was very subtle, listen to the symbols, it's the most obvious difference I found. I hope you fellow head-fi'ers forgive me for using my studio monitors

I get pulled right back in! Yup, it's been over a year since I've last posted here when I first bought my Senn HD201's, I thought they were the greatest things to ever hit the audio world! A few of you warned me to say goodbye to my wallet, I thought to myself, what are they talking about...

I've been with my HD-201 for about 3 weeks now. Before burn in they were thin, not much soundstage or bass. After a looong burn in they bass loosened up and the soundstage opened up. This is through my headphone out on my Logitech z-580 speakers though. They do seem to distort at high volumes...

Thanks alot guys, looks like the drivers actually in a sealed enclosure. I wonder what opening up the smaller black box and using the entire area for the speaker would do? I'd imagine low end extension would be improved but the mids and highs probably washed out. Also, quick questions about...

I'm a newbie like yourself and just dove into a set of Sennheiser HD-201's and from a rookies point of view there pretty amazing. They have a nice balanced sound a good bass extension. I'm from Canada as well and paid 38 bucks total, shipping and all for a new set off ebay. Awesome deal...

I've been with my first set of cans (Senn HD201's) for a week now. After breaking them in the sound had been amazing, no complaints at all. The only dislike I have about them is the fact that there a closed set of phones but don't filter out much outside noise. The back of the can also feels...

LOL, thanks for the welcome guys. I kinda get the idea where this new headphone thing is going. They already got me in trouble, the girlfriend said they suck cause I couldnt' hear her calling me. And I've started looking into mods for the 201's and amps. This website may cost me more than cash...

Just wanted to say hey to everyone as this is my first venture into the hi fi headphone world. I just opened the box to my very first set of "higher end" headphones and have been listening to them for about 20 minutes now. I purchased a set of Sennheiser HD-201's and wow, what an unbelievable...
