    Comparison of 5 popular cans in the $250-350 range - K701, HD650, DT990/600ohm, SR325is, D2000 - UPDATED!!!!

    I auditioned the same set of Grado's and could not agree more with the initial impression. It was so terribly bright it was hard to listen to at the usual comfortable listening volumes, really turned me off of them. Its good to know that this goes away after a short time of listening. I'm not...

    Headphone Sightings 2

    i walked into a subway today at lunch, and saw at least 5 kids in there with beats around there neck. I almost died! the Head-Fi'er in me wanted to inform them all that they should have saved their money and bought something with a bit of integrity. i would be throughly impressed if i saw one...

    Quote: Must be something in the air, I also have been seriously considering a set of LCD2's. But both my wallet and my wife would not be happy!

    The BEST-LOOKING Headphones

    By far the best looking headphone is the Audeze's. Something about the wood and that supple looking leather. I also really like the look of the Momentums. The stainless really adds a lot to them

    Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier

    Quote: Will try this tonight, Thanks for the info. Can't believe how much there is to wrap your head around.. wouldn't have thought that I would have a harder time learning about HiFi than i did learning how to work on engines! haha

    Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier

    Quote: Speaking from the Magni just itself, i would think you will be ok. For your more sensitive cans, you can regulate the volume from your computer (if that is your source). If you plan on going Magni + Modi then you might have a bit of an issue. When i plug my Modi into my Retina MBP it...

    Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier

    Quote: I have experienced something similar with my HD650's. The bass just doesn't have that expected punch in some areas that i am familiar with in my go to songs. But I mostly blame this on coming from my JDS Labs C421 with it's bass boost feature and gain switch. Really pushes out the...

    Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier

Tracking finally has it at my local post office but i will still have to wait till monday for it. But i guess thats what i get for ordering around the Holidays. Heres hoping i...

    Schiit Modi USB DAC

    Reading through these posts on how much pride Jason and the folks over at Schiit take in their products makes me that much more excited for my magni + modi to arrive. Ordered on the 17th and still awaiting that life changing email that says "shipped" lol. Ordering close to the holidays and...

    Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier

    Just ordered the Magni + Modi stack. This is my first venture into the schiit world, hoping they do well powering my HD650's. Current set up is my JDS labs C421 direct from my Retina MBP. So adding a DAC should yield good results. The shipping up to Canada is gonna make for a killer wait. Don't...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones

    Got my first set of audiophile headphones last week... The highest "caliber" headphones that hit my ears before this were Klipsch S4's but i dove right in and bought a set of HD 650's. When i first got them i listened to them and thought they sounded good but not a huge difference. But then my...
