I was walking on Market Street today, the main street in San Francisco, and saw a headphone vendor trying to sell 'Fusion' headphones on the corner of Market and Montgomery. They're essentially mock beats...they look exactly like Beats without the logo. I already had my Beyerdynamic T5P on my...

Hey all, I recently (about a month ago) purchased a pair of Beyerdynamic T5P headphones, and am now posting a review after listening to them 5-6 hours daily. Prior to purchase, I was deciding about whether to go with these or the Signature Pros by Ultrasone. I went with the T5P's because I saw...

Kenny, needless to say I'll be PM-ing you.   And jazzman, thank you for the in-depth response and breadth of options to select from. I'll look into some of the possibilities you mentioned as well.

Gonna bump this...really stuck on this. I'm thinking currently of just going with a good portable amp like the Pico Power, and foregoing the external DAC. Does anyone have an opinion or thought on this? Is the iPhone 3GS DAC that bad?

Just bought a pair of Beyerdynamic T5P's with SAA Endorphin cable. I will bring it :). It arrives tomorrow, I can't wait to hear what it sounds like!

Hi all,   I promise I have searched everywhere for information on this, but the responses are so varied and often complex that I can't seem to pin down exactly what I need to buy for what I'm looking for.    As of now, I travel between home and work (roughly 3 hours a day), and have been...

NZTechFreak, I want to again thank you for all of the great advice. Yesterday I finally found exactly what I was looking for. This is what my portable rig will look like:   iPhone 3GS -> LOD cable -> Pico Power Amp -> Beyerdynamic T5P's with attached SAA Endorphin cable.   The cans...

I love how MBV is getting some love on Head-Fi. I can't wait to hear them on my eventual, (soon to be bought) T5P's. My Bose QC3's really don't do the band any justice.

In what ways are they so un-portable? The cans look to be roughly similar in size to the T5P's. I don't care that they don't fold up nicely like the Sig Pros.   For me, portability is about comfort and isolation, primarily. Is the isolation on the TH-900's that much worse than the isolation...

NZTechFreak, I've looked around to figure this out, but I can't find a clear answer either way. Is the Pico Power an amp + DAC or just an amp? If just an amp, I would need a separate Pico DAC too, right? And would I need to purchase any separate cables or wires to hook up all this to my iPhone...

@ NZTechFreak: T5P and Pico HeadAmp it is :).   Comfort is very important to me, so the comfort factor being better on the T5P's is huge for me. Do you think it would be relatively easy to fall asleep wearing these? (obviously laying on my back). My long commutes make it so that comfort is...

Sorrodje, your post was extremely helpful, even though I couldn't do a Google Translate yet, as I'm on lunch at work.   Overall I think I'm drawn more to the sound on the T5P's (from everything I've read), than to the Sig Pros. It's just that the Sig Pros are so portable...they'd be perfect...

Hey guys, any way I could join in? I'm just starting out with headphones, as to date I have only owned a pair of Bose QC3's, but I'd love to attend, especially since I'm considering big-time upgrades (Sig Pro or T5P for portable), and eventually a Stax SR 009 + source and amp system. I'm new to...

Bumping just because I'd love one or two more opinions on great, portable amps for the Sig Pros (i.e. one that balances them well).   Would also love to hear another case of why T5P are superior or inferior to the Sig Pros (assuming quality amps provided for both). Lastly. are the T5P's all...

Okay, guys I think I'm going to have to go after the Sig Pros for the following reasons:   - More durable, or at least it's more ensured - Weigh less, more portable, less bulky/easier to walk around with - I have small ears/head, so I'm not worried about clamping. I'm sure comfort with...
