It seems that AKG has put a flat headband without any bumps to the newer "version" of K702. http://www.thomann.de/gb/akg_k702.htm   As you know, K702 65th Anniversary version and 712 Pro already have completely flat headbands, but they seem to be narrower than on the basic/new K702.  ...

Have you ever wondered why Sennheiser doesn't produce audiophile class closed back headphones? I have for a few days, and it took me 5 years to suddenly realise this. I think the 600-series is really demanding a believable closed back set. The 280 Pro doesn't do that job. It is clearly with...

t1nt1n, you've got mail.

What about Pro-ject Headbox Mk II? It costs 139€ as new. I would figure though, that Creek (costing 270€ as new) would be a better investment. And it has two jacks which might be a plus in the future use.

Hi there, I should be receiving a second hand pair of HD 650 tomorrow (exchanged for my A-T A900) and surely I would like to get "better kick" out of them than my AV-reciever's or CD-player's headphone jack can offer. Being a Second-Hand-Believer (only my speakercables has been bought as...

Hi, I really need your help on this one, 'cause I have very little of experience of DJ phones. The phones would come as a comforting gift for one of my best friends, who was cheated on a Sony V700DJ-phones deal (paid but never saw the phones). I found a used pair of Sony V500DJ for 40€ which...

Hi again, Maza So the poor 595's have to find a new home, again? How sad But to your actual issue. I have been interested about the very same question and with the Search I've found pretty good answeres. I have listened them both but not at the same time nor the same equipment. So...

Once again, couple of questions... 1. Not having enough enthusiasm I won't search that thread where somebody said something about somebody who was working for beyerdynamic and who implied that CEO of beyerdynamic was not entirely happy with the new DT 990 and there would be some updating...

I have been considering to get a pair of the '03's or the '05's DT 880's. If I will get the '05 I'm interested of the 32 Ohm version also. So couple of questions... 1. So what is the sonic difference between 32 and 250 Ohm versions? Jan Meier says on his website that it is "very small indeed"...

This is offtopic but is it just me or has Headroom lowered the value rating of DT 990's from 4.5 to 4 and raised DT 770's from 4 (or 4.5?) up to 5? As I recall DT 880's were only "five star"-beyers there before. And it seems like it happened today! Just wondering...

Hi there, I've listened to the DT 331's, 531's, 931's, 770/80 Pro's, the '05 770's and the '05 990's, and the result has always been the same: after a short while of listening my ears begin to suffer and tire because of the too spiky highs. This annoying character has NOT appeared either...

Well, to be honest, it wasn't exactly a deal because I couldn't afford it at that moment, but at one local hifistore I was made an excelent OFFER: used (about 6 month old or so) HD 650 for only 150€ (about 190$)! Ok, so it would been an excelent deal, but again, to be honest, I´ve never liked...
