    Rumor: New Sennheiser Flagship to be surfaced ........ soon

    When this thread no longer becomes a rumor.

    No matter how hard I try I do not like the HD600's (but I love my HD650's). What's wrong with me?

    Sounds like you have finally learned what a preference is. Is there something wrong with you? I don't think so. Is there something wrong with me for liking Beyerdynamic DT880 over T1? I don't think so. It doesn't matter if you like the general sound signature of Sennheiser. At the end of the...

    Fostex TH500RP anyone heard them and compared them to the HD650?

    I own the HD650, but I only tried the TH500RP at a local headphone shop for about 40 minutes. The first thing that I notice right away is that TH500RP has less bass, so yes I do think the bass roll off is indeed worse. However, because TH500 has less bass, there is more air in the treble than...

    [Review] AKG K545: A new benchmark in portable audio

    Thanks for the wonderful review, now I am really tempted to buy this can. I have a question though, and I am wondering if you can answer it for me. When you were listening to Yanagi Nagi's Tokohana, did you experience any sibilance from her voice at all? I am very sensitive to sibilance, and...

    PHA-3 vs AK240??

    Well, first of all PHA 3 is a DAC/Amp while AK240 is a DAP. In other words, you can't listen to PHA 3 with just headphones because you will need something to store your music, like a phone, Walkman, laptop, etc.   Anyway, I don't own either of them but I have listened to them both for an...

    Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone

    Yeah, I apologize. He was selling 2, not 3. My mistake.         It's kind of sad, but unfortunately there are very few audiophiles in this world. Only 500 Aedle VK-1Limited Edition were made, but they are being sold on Amazon and at the local headphone shop that takes 10 minutes for me...

    Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone

    You would be very surprised by how many people actually own Orpheus. I saw someone that owned 3 Orpheuses trying to sell all 3 of them in the Trade/Sale section couple months ago. Two friends that I know in real life own them, and one of them is active at Golden Ears. Despite its limited...

    $1000 budget, should I go open or closed?

    Correct me if I am wrong, I am by no means trying to offend anyone here, but is there even a such thing as portable open back headphone? What do you mean when you say you want a headphone that you can take with you? Are you trying to use them on a bus or a plane? My experience with open back...

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

    I have been eyeing on Audeze products for months, and I am glad that my patience is good.

    The Audeze LCD-2 Ortho thread (New)

    I would love to get an old one without Fazor, but I want to buy a new one, not used. I already got scammed once at Head-Fi, so I learned my lesson not to buy a used headphone, regardless of who the seller is. If Audeze sold  brand new pair of LCD 2 Rev 1, then I probably wouldn't be posting in...

    The Audeze LCD-2 Ortho thread (New)

    Sorry to keep bringing this up, but I have another question regarding LCD2, HD600, and HD650. I found HD600 to be harsh and sibilant, but not much so on HD650. What are the chances that I will find LCD2 with Fazor to be sibilant? I am only 17 years old, so I am very sensitive to high frequency...

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

    Hey Joker, thanks for the great reviews. I currently have an InEar LivePro 2, which is the custom version of InEar StageDiver 2. I am looking for an upgrade, but I want pretty much the exact same sound signature as SD-2. I want an IEM that is neutral from the bass to the highs, just like the...

    AKG K701 - The best amp money can buy?

    Well, I am using a Woo Audio WA7 Fireflies (~$999) to drive the K701, and they sound great. But, I am almost certain that there are better and more expensive amps out there that can drive your K701 even better. So, let me ask you again: What is your budget? Is it unlimited or is it $1,000? If it...

    Disappointed in the "audiophile" community...

    I apologize if I am stating the obvious, but there is more to it than a flat response when it comes to "hi-fi," no? If absolute neutrality was the zenith of what a headphone could achieve, by that definition, I think many would agree that Sennheiser HD600 or Etymotic ER4 are superior than...

    Where is the sweet spot for quality headphones?

    I personally don't think the car analogy works with headphones, at least in terms of build quality.   For example, Tralucent 1+2 IEM (~$1,000) uses cheap plastic housing with flimsy cable. On the other hand, Yamaha EPH 100 IEM (~$100) uses metal as construction and is built like a tank.   I...
