    Closed back headphone for travel

    I went through a similar search recently I have the HD25-ii driven with Fiio e11, while they are good sounding not comfortable over long periods.. The best 3 were Bose ae2 in terms of comfort.. but sound was severely lacking. Senn momentums sounded good and were comfortable but the travel...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

    Too bad the metal thing near the connector has come off.. Have been using it for less than 3 weeks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Update [01/Feb/2014]: Excellent service from B&W .. they replaced the cable. I have been careful with the new one and don't plug/un-plug too much :)

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

    Noob question... I am using P7 with iPod and Fiio E11 with Fiio LOD .. it gets too loud at volume position 2. Does this mean E11 is too powerful for P7? I like the bass with amping .. Will it damage the headphones? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

    the thing is these are the most expensive headphones I have ever had and have started carrying them everywhere.. so was afraid I would break them ... I hope the original carry case is good enough..

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

    Can anyone suggest a hard case to carry the P7 .. about the same size as the soft case that comes with the headphones. Would be awesome if the case could hold the headphones and iPod.   Thanks.

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

    I have been trying out the P7 and Momentum for a week and ended up with the P7. I like the overall comfort, portability and sound of P7. They are very close to sounding like speakers. Very good clarity, instrument separation and better sound stage than the Momentums. I wouldn't call it more bass...

    Driving DT990 600ohm

    OP, I recently acquired a DT990/600 with plans to drive it with my Sony receiver STR-SE501 but it had a horrible hiss when plugged in. But my Yamaha HTR drives it without any noise. So give it a try it might work out with your receiver.

    Same Old Schiit? Balanced Research and Valhalla Amp Giveaway

      Do you have balanced headphones? If so, which ones?  Not right now. I have a DT990/600 with stock cable.   If not, are you looking at balanced headphones or a balanced amp in the future? Looking to upgrade cable with 4-pin XLR and a single ended attachment. Upgrade to a balanced...

    Toronto meet, Sunday August 7th

    My first head-fi meet, it was awesome. Was good to see so many like minded people at the same place.    Tried a few electrostatic headphones did not like them much (did not spend much time on them). The HD600s were awesome - I really understood what recessed mids mean by A/B-ing HD600s and...
