Hi everyone,   Though I personally like neutral headphones the HD 280 pro may have more going on than just emphasising bass.  There is an interesting behavior with self damping that seems to be present in the HD 280 pro that was identified in the video below by Dave Rat, a live sound...

Though I am unaware of any business theory that suggests that corporations set the price of their offerings purely based on quality of their products, there is a theory that suggests that the price that they are able to sell at, in an efficient market, is very close to the true value of the...

Hi again everyone,   I am very grateful for all the wonderful suggestions and guidance people have shared.  I am getting to appreciate some of the subtilties of some of the headphones that I know own, with different amps etc, but haven't abandoned my quest for the ulitmate vocal detail, and...

Quote: Hi I3eyond,   I have not heard the HD 650 or the BT 880 however I wanted to share that I have been looking for new headphones too and ...   It seems like there is a big following for the BT 880 600 ohms version.  I am not sure what the real difference in sound is but many...

Still listening to different things with my new K702s and OMG!, I can tell what Alissa White-Gluz is saying now!  This audiophile thing could be addictive! (video clip below.)   WARNING! This Video Contains Elements of Deathcore (including graphic lyrics and an impolite hand gesture.)  

Oh wow… I LOVE my new AKG K702s!    Ok I admit I am new to comparing headphones, but I wanted to share my excitment!  To me, they seem to do great for high vocals and the cymbals sound great!  Of course I am new to the headphone comparisons so it could partially be placebo effect or the...

Hi BlackbeardBen and everyone,   Thanks for your reply.  Certainly HD600s would be interesting to try out too!   I am curious about your speaker suggestions though.  Where does someone go to hear ultra high end speakers before they buy them? Are there stores that demo them in the greater...

Quote: Hi MacedonianHero,   One of the questions that I had based on some other posts about the LCD-2's frequency response curve is how they do in in regard to focal detail in the higher range, not just the mids.  Would you change the order of your three headphones if it was for...

Hi everyone,   Again thank you for your kind suggestions.   As it turns out, I was able to find what I thought was a pretty good deal on DT 880 (600 ohms) for a little over $200 new from an authorized dealer so I got them too!   Anyway now I have AKG K702s and DT 880s on their way...

    Quote:   Hi Wind016 and everyone,   I am very grateful for all of your suggestions.  I was hoping, however, to ask for some clarification about what you are suggesting in regard to the K702.  I have purchased it from Amazon (Amazon fulfillment anyway so I get their...

Hi everyone,   I thought I would update the participants in this thread that have  been kind enough to share their thoughts.   Though I do still plan to find a way to listen to many of the headphones that have been suggested (or may still be suggested), it seems that the AKG K702s have...

Hi Blackbeard,   I admit I had been thinking in terms of headphones, but I had also assumed that for vocal detail, that the best headphones would be better than the best speakers.  Thanks for helping me to reflect on, and reconsider, that assumption.   DV Quote:

Sadly, you are correct, the price has increased since I posted.    Quote:
