    Name that headphone... (?)

    Anyone recognize these cans? I don't think i've seen them before (just curious). Maybe kind of hard to tell from that picture...

    Sony MDR-V6/MDR-7506

    Can't you get the 7506 Pros w/ 24ohm impedance 104db sensitivity or is this just a misprint? http://www.bizrate.com/marketplace/p...--6553678.html I know i've seen the 7506s and V6 stats both at 63ohm impedance and 106db sensitivity before... Anyone know? I was considering getting the...

    Home-made DT770 mod

    I didn't know you could get bass fatigue... I have a pair of Darth Beyer DT770/80s and I think the bass is perfect. IMO the Sony V6s don't even compare, and the 325i's, while probably having better highs and comparable mids, are decidedly inferior in their production of bass, sound staging...

    Best isolating headphones (under $125)

    If you live in the US and near a Guitar Center you might consider the DT770/80s... I think they sometimes match Amazon's price for the 770/250s? Worth a try. I think the 770/250s would probably sound like crap without an amp, but that is my opinion... You might also want to consider...

    Headphone Extension Cables?

    Hey, I'm thinking about getting an extension for my Darth Beyers (recabled 1/4'' BlackMax at 1m) but I'm worried about sound degradation / distortion and the like. The 1m recable was quite a bit shorter than I thought it would be b/c that measurement actually includes the Y. This really...

    Ordered Woody Darth Beyers! (DT770-80s)

    Good to know, thanks again Carlos. I was looking for a really bass heavy headphone so no worries there. Skylab: Of course I can't speak from experience but as far as I know and according to Larry the result is "Deeper airier bass with more mids and taming of the high end by the time I am...

    Understanding Impedance

    As far as I know, Impedance is a general term used to refer to any electrical entity which impedes the flow of current... In the headphone world, when speaking of impedance, the expression is most commonly used to denote resistance. You can find the impedance rating of all most every headphone...

    Ordered Woody Darth Beyers! (DT770-80s)

    Wow pretty outstanding. Everything looks great. I've yet to hear a headphone even close to this quality so I'm certainly looking forward to it. Thanks for the advice Carlos, that is good to know. I will definitely mess around with that when they arrive.

    Ordered Woody Darth Beyers! (DT770-80s)

    Umm I went with the Bloodwood... It's similar to the Paduak but the colour is a little bit more red/richer. I didn't go with the screen option simply because I still want them to be somewhat closed/noise canceling. I'll certainly post a review when I get them (probably in a few weeks).

    Ordered Woody Darth Beyers! (DT770-80s)

    Hey guys, So I've finally made my decision and went ahead and placed an order for a new pair of Woody Darth Beyers (Bloodwood w/ Blackmax recable) from Larry over at headphile.com. FYI: he just got a bunch of them in stock and they are ready for modding ($165 /ea. + mods, which...

    Commonly Recommended Headphones - prelim FAQ ideas

    Having just gone through the headphone selection process myself I can attest to the fact that it can be a lengthy process ; Consequentially I have spent a considerable amount of time learning about headphones, headphone amps and the like in the past weeks. I think a FAQ of this nature could no...

    Where to order Beyerdynamic 770-80s?

    Yeah I have considered getting those (the 250s) from Amazon.com... I think that if, at the end of the month, I haven't found anything I might order those ones instead. That would also mean totally reconsidering my choice of Amp... but that wouldn't be that bad I guess. I'm just wondering if...
