I use H6 on nexus5/iPhone5, ipad and macbook pro with no issue. You won't get them to play at ear piercing level but casual listening level is no problem. And of course this is without any amps.

I also prefer 007 + 717 combo over LCD2 or HE6/HE500. However, it is hard to find any decent amp for 007 at low price. I would recommend LCD2 or HE500 for the type of music you listen to. In my opinion, HE500 covers more music genres and have better balance overall than LCD2, but you might...

How is the comfort with Beyer pads? Any change in sound?

  1. Are you familiar with SACD? DSD?  Yes.   2. Do you own any SACDs?  No.   3. If so, what percentage of your collection is SACD vs CD or files? 0% vs 100%   4. Is SACD/DSD decoding an important consideration when you're looking for a DAC?  No, because I do not own any...

Quote: I have heard many headphone and I think LCD-2 has proper bass IMO. Maybe a bit too much for my taste. I don't know if it is your source/amp or your ears that are too used to IEMs/headphones you have owned. Try hooking them up to better gears. It doesn't require arms and legs to...

Do you have balanced headphones? If so, which ones? No.   If not, are you looking at balanced headphones or a balanced amp in the future? I am planning to purchase balanced cable for my HE500 soon. I am very interested in purchasing Schiit balanced amp.   For balanced headphone...

Svetlana looks great. I didn't know they sell them here in the US.  

I would still keep my O2 + 717 rig over any other dynamic/ortho rig I have had. Price difference isn't that much compared to good solid dynamic rig anyway. 

Quote:   I was quite satisfied with original SR325 sound. I liked SR325i goldies but they had somewhat forward high compared to SR325 that I had. Anyway, I sent you PM regarding the drivers!

I think left side driver of my SR325 is blown. Do you guys know if this modification can be done on very first model of SR325 (not i or is)? I am thinking about either getting this mod done or finding a pair of SR325 drivers. I don't think these drivers are easy to find though. Anyone selling...

Great review! I bet a lot of time and effort were put into this. Thanks.   I agree with most of the things mentioned here regarding LCD2, HE6, HD800, JH13, O2 but one thing I disagree is that HE6 lacks bass compared to HD800. HE6 produce plenty of bass even with my not so impressive rig. I...

  Quote: Like Aflac already mentioned, I was referring to someone else's headphone stands. I guess those posts were deleted and made the confusion. I have seen many of your stands and always thought that they were great. Wish I had skills to make one like that.

Quote:   Looks like a headphone stand that comes with Sony SA5000.     

Quote: Top one is the headphone stand from audio-technica.  

Looks awfully a lot like these...
