    Very High end Speakers Boenicke audio

      i bring nothing apart from hard evidence, links to said parts, video evidence and a bit of knowledge which most here are missing .... but besides that ....   Now if you'd excuse me, I was part way through a paper from Ethan Winer.

    Why are STAX headphones unwanted?

    The old version, the version i owned had oval ear openings.        The new version most certainly does not!    http://www.stax.co.jp/Pdf/Export/NEWS_E_SRS002_121015.pdf     If your headphones are oval, one would assume they are the old model/old stock!

    It's been a long time - reccommendations - Sennhesier HD650 - Hifiman 300

    Thanks for the input.    I've been doing a search on ebay and amazon, i can't believe the likes of the AKG K701 and K702 are coming up for around £100 - 150. back in the day they were £300 headphones going up against the likes of the HD650's   As I ran fakeheadphones.com for many years, my...

    It's been a long time - reccommendations - Sennhesier HD650 - Hifiman 300

    It's been a long time since i've posted a questions about headphones.    Just wondering your opinions on comparisons between Sennheiser HD 650 headphones (which I've previously owned) or Hifiman 300 headphones?

    Is Denon AH-340 a serious jump over AH-320

    Got a pair of 320's and they're OK. looking for a sensible upgrade ... without spending out for the likes of Alessandro MS-1i. Denon's come up at reasonable price, but are the 340 in the same league as my (broken) AH-D1001 & AH-D1100's?

    Very High end Speakers Boenicke audio

    Very High end Speakers Boenicke audio I'm afraid that title is very much misleading as there's nothing 'High-End' about them. TBH the drivers are average at best, although I do have the Peerless SLS 6.5 in a transmission line subwoofer enclosure, but there are better drivers than Peerless subs...

    Why are STAX headphones unwanted?

    Sorry to resurrect and old thread. I curse the day I sold my SR-002 MKII earphones. I had the older version with the oval type ear-buds which at best were painful. The portable headphone amp that had to be used sucked batteries every 2-4 hours, which doesn't really encourage portability. The...

    Bose OE replacement recommendations please?

    For all the bad press for Bose, among my (at one time) 120+ headphone collection, the OE's were one of the best for comfort. Those Noontec Zoro's ... Dre wannabees? But at around £40 they might eb worth trying out. Just finished watching a YouTube review of the Noontec's, they get...

    Bose OE replacement recommendations please?

    Another thing: are there any headphones with normal cables, no in-line controls? I'm not interested in hooking these up to a mobile phone!

    Bose OE replacement recommendations please?

    Thanks for your suggestions. I live in the UK. I would hunt for another pair, bar for the fact that there are counterfeits everywhere of the original OE headphones. V-Moda's look nice, however i remember I had a lot of bad experiences with V-Moda in the past, when they first bought out their...

    Bose OE replacement recommendations please?

    So after nearly 9 years of hard use the cable on my Bose OE headphones has started to die. I'm sure someone here could re-cable it, but the headphones as a whole are looking very tired. I'm looking for a semi portable replacement, any suggestions? I was looking at the Yamaha HPH-PRO300...
