Any prog rock fans around here in Vancity? I just moved to Vancouver and I'd really like to meet some friends with good taste in music! If you're a musician, that's even better. Let's shoot the ****!

Nah, it'll just clip if the membrane can travel far enough. Don't be scared if your headphones distort because of EQ, just worry if it's distorting because of excessive voltage and volume because the voice coil can actually end up melting. However, no phone or mp3 player has the power to do that...

Hey, I'd say there are holes on the top or a heat-sink or something. Any company that can consistently engineer the best headphones in the world wouldn't make one of the most obvious design-flaws possible in amp design. If the aluminum cap is solid, Sennheiser is officially dumb lol

Don't worry, guys! This is totally going to be a budget option.

I just want to find another Audiophile with the sort of gear that I have! I use Beyerdynamic T5ps, Grado PS500s, Sennheiser HD600s, and Hifiman HE400S' on rotation along with lots of other sonic experiences, but sadly there is absolutely no one else here with the same kind of inventory or...

I'm getting kind of lonely because there are no other headphone fanatics around here! I have so many headphones, I just wanna talk about them and listen and whatever, damn it! If you happen to be a Haligonian, a headphones-crazed audiophile, and you're also sick of the fact that our hobby is...

I think headphones should be EQ'd until they bring a real emotional response from you. You know, that "magic" that you sometimes feel from headphones where the music massages your ears and makes you fall back in your chair, close your eyes, and get those delightful little chills! There are many...

GOOD CHOICE. "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen slams so hard it's like being punched in the face! The more power you use to amplify these, the more they slam! I'm only using the onboard DAC/AMP on my Blue Yeti microphone just to put things in perspective!!! And they're only getting better...

I'm listening to the HE400S right now and if I have to say anything, it's this:         I haven't heard sound quality like this in anything else under $1000 and I've auditioned everything under the sun.   Also, these are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn.         So...

  I've tried all three and I have to say the Ultrasone Edition 8s are a joke, the Ultrasone Signature DJs are quite good but really uncomfortable, and the Final Audio Design Pandora Hope VIs are incredible.   So, absolutely, the Pandoras. Don't let the prices cloud your mind.

Now, I'm in love with the Shure SRH1540s, but the headband cuts my head in half. Do you have that problem? I will no doubt buy them again, but that headband is teeeeerrible.    

I think that headphones with a great driver, but not optimal tuning will always benefit greatly from an EQ. Like, My Perfect Sound Didos are a bit too dark for me, but with an EQ I managed to make them sound VERY good!!! The biocellulose driver in them is very capable, but it shines brightest...

How do you find the Shure SE846s? I'm really eyeing them hard.

Can you EQ in things like tightness of bass and and speed? I'm curious about it.

Accidentally having the volume turned up all the way when you turn on music with your headphones. It sucks and it hurts...
