Well that's unfortunate :( I don't want to use big bulky peltors all day long..

Yes I have thought of iems but it might be uncomfortable to have for many hours. I might as you said look for used Bose, I don't mind their sound, and ANC is the most important aspect of them.

Well I bought the Nad M51 because I could get it for 1000$ instead of 1600$ it had only good reviews what I could find (before I found that meassurement) and it also serves as a preamp and had hdmi in and out so I can use it with very good results to my TV and Chromecast, and my speakers demands...

I have a problem, they are building new apartments in our house, with drills and a lot of other really annoying sounds all day long. Unfortunately my vacation starts now and I'm not so happy because I have to live in this sick noise! So I bought a pair of sony wh-h900n, unfortunately they suck...

Hi Nad M51 users! I have just bought the nad M51 for a discount price, tested it a couple of hours with different amps to my speakers and thought it sounded really good, but I have limited experience with DACs and especially speakers. So I was surfing around confirming my buy on various...

Stereophile at least did a lot off measurements and came to the conclusion that it measures great. I have been in to headphones for many years and have landed in the conclusions that equipment that measures the same does not need to sound the same, I think if you were only to measure and not...

The main cables and the cables in the house are 90% of the soundquality, to get the best sound out of them you need to cool them down below 0°C and keep theme there (I usually don't listen to music at summertime but when it's winter I put a big jacket on me and turn of the heating in the house)...

The frequency responce kurve show you the frequency response, it's pretty easy. If it's properly meassured you can tell if a headphone has more or less treble, bass or midrange (in most cases) I think headrooms meassurements are pretty accurate. But it want tell you how big the soundstage is...

It's a good idea to buy from the US now when the dollar is so weak. In sweden the D5000 costs 919.143 US Dollar.

Most ampes are made with high ohms headphones like Hd6xx as reference, so they will give a balanced sound with 300ohms senns. Most portable players are made for low ohm 32 and lower, Dx000 with 25ohms is very easy to drive for such a player and I guess thats the reason they sound better with...
