Let's resurrect this thread. I'm owner of HP50 for over a month. In my opinion HP50 are the most underestimated headphones today. Reason - the low price. If Paul Barton and company put some wood, genuine leather and ask $1000+ for the same sound people wouldn't think they miss something with...

yes, they are prototypes. This is the second press release about them, there are many specifications but no names.

I need help to find out the names (or the series name) of these ONKYO speakers and headphones in the following link: https://mag.kakaku.com/av-kaden/?id=3869   Just the names, please, not the whole text!     Thank you!      PS: Google translator doesn't help :)

I've had the chance to try HD800 and HD700 side by side. The problem was that the next in the row was... Sennheiser Orpheus.:) My rating: Sennheiser Orpheus>...>...>....>HD800>HD700 I found HD700 muddy and less precise, with not as good instrument separation compared to HD800. HD700 are very...

Sounds perfect to me.

hmm... can I sell ciem? 

I need opinions Which are the best iniversal in-ear monitors now? cost no object Neutrality and flat FR appreciated but I prefer them on the warm/bassy side of neutrality than analytical/thin sounding. :)

I've listened to balanced SE-Master 1 at Munich High End 2015. Not impressed. Mediocre sound. Harsh treble, small hedstage, not enough speed... For 2500 euros I'd go with Audeze, Stax or HiFiMan.  

Dedicated PC transport (i5 + 16GB RAM, WIndows 8 on SSD)--> AudioQuest Cinnamon firewire--> Weiss DAC202U--> Job225 or HK990 or MiniHybrid or Aspen Soraya amps--> PSB Synchrony One speakers I want champage, but JPlay is more sparkling wine to me. You mentioned "mid-fi" and I'm interested to...

I've used JPlay for many months. Finally (after purchasing it) I realized that the huge 3D stage, instrument separation and smoothness are... hoax. Using JRiver with just ASIO gave me more focus and dynamics. With Jplay and especially with their player Jplay mini, the instruments and vouces are...

Everything is subjective. I like my SR-007mk2s, my LCD-2s, my K701s, my HD-518s, I like my friend's ATH-m50s, ATH-A900Xs, the cheap grados and senns.  I like my Violectric HPA V200, my KGSS, my Fiio E17. And my Weiss DAC202U. But I don't like these HK CL. It's totally subjective.

Harman/Kardon CL have the worst sound/price ratio I've ever seen. The sound strongly reminds me the free earbuds that used to come with nokias and other phones ten years ago. Nowdays the free phone in-ears are much better than this chap-plastic... things. It was a big surprise to see...

I haven't visited this forum since last year аnd I'm surprised to find out that for this year Audez'e released FOUR new headphones - LCD-2F, LCD-3F, LCD-X and LCD-XC. From what I read here the 3Fs are FOTM and I'm thinking about replacing my ancient LCD-2 rev.2. But I'm ofraid that while they...

Yesteray I sold my stax sr-007mk2 and I'm planning to reinvest the cash in some good dynamics. The best dynamic headphones I've heard so far are HD800. I don't like the tonal balance but it can be tuned by cables, amps or sources, not a big problem. I don't have much time to browse this forum...
