    KOSS ESP-950 Thread

    Would this be a good addition for someone that has a TH-X00, HE-560s, and LCD2v2s?

    Is the WA7d a good upgrade over the m9xx?

    To be honest, I'm perfectly satisfied with the m9xx as it's pretty balanced and clear. However, we all know 'satisfied' only cuts it for a while before we're looking at 'what's next?' lol. I'd prefer something with a bit more bass and ability to bring out female vocals like in EDM. Something to...

    Is the WA7d a good upgrade over the m9xx?

    I'm currently using the m9xx as my daily dac/amp but the wa7d is on massdrop for a decent buy. Is it worth the upgrade to the wa7d? I'm currently using the m9xx with: -HE-560 -TH-X00 -LCD2v2 Thanks!

    Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review

    Would having this along with the HE-560 be overkill?

    What is considered the "Hi-Fi Trio"?

      Really? They all sound different enough to warrant keeping all three without needing a different type of sound signature for you? It seems like each would be an upgrade from the others.

    This post helps me a lot as I'm deciding which one to purchase next. How would you describe vocals, specifically female vocals, in regards to both cans? I listen to mostly electronic music and I've found the HE-500 more enjoyable than the 560 and the LCD2.   oh yeah almost forgot..   HE-500...

    What is considered the "Hi-Fi Trio"?

    So there was a recent post on Reddit about what is considered the best three headphones to own and I'm wondering what Head-Fiers consider to be the three 'must-haves' in their collection? (I'm also curious as I'm looking at the HD800, TH900, T1, and Alpha Primes to add to my collection of HE500...

    THE best female vocals? (your favorite female singers)

    HE-500. Check. LCD-2rev.2. Check. HE-560. Check (unfortunately).

    What's the next step up from the HE-500 in terms of crispness and clarity and definitely the mids and highs and yes, the subbass too. Every other headphone I've listened to so far (granted it isn't a lot) did not make me want to get rid of the 500s. Instead I would probably get rid of the LCD2...

    Disappointed with the HE-560.. Is the TH-900 a good upgrade from the HE-500/LCD-2 rev.2?

    The 560 seemed too plain to me whereas the 500, I enjoyed the highs and mids quite a bit more. Of course it helps that I listen to a lot of electronic music with female vocals. My question is this: I'm looking for a permanent (HAH!) upgrade from my 500. Would the TH-900 give me more of the 500...

    'ticking' during playback with Schiit Modi and HiFiMan EF-5 to HE-560i

    I've noticed a 'ticking' or 'clicking' noise every few seconds during playback of tv shows or even music at lossless. It's very noticeable. Do I need to reroll my tubes? Currently using Telefunken E88CC.

    = HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =

    So I'm probably going to get my HE-560 within a few weeks after having used the HE-500 and the LCD2.2 for the past 2 years. Do you think the 560 can replace both the 500 and the LCD2.2? I love female vocals and female vocals in electronic music....simply fantastic. Because of these tastes, I had...
