great first meet :) i didnt get to talk to as many people as i would have liked, and i had to leave rather abruptly but enjoyed meeting a bunch of people and testing a load of headphones - the hifimans were all highlights for me, but i was surprised how heavy they were, even after hearing people...

im not familiar with the RG121, but ithe dt770s are definately not the best headphones under 260 (especially because they are closer to half that price - more like 150-160). and i cant even find that sony stereo on ebay, so i have no idea how difficult it is to come by. but even comparing my old...

not asking what you think the *best* headphones are, whatever that means - just your personal favourite headphones that you look back on most fondly. this could be the pair that has wowed you the most over the years, or the pair that introduced you to the world of audiophilia, or even just a...

no, but driving a bugatti veyron is still be preferable to sitting economy class between two obese people with a baby crying constantly three rows down. high end speakers in the $5,000+ range, properly set up and well amplified in an acoustically treated room will trump any headphones.... but...

@redrich2000 - nice profil pic. best band ive seen live i think.

so excited! was looking through this forum hoping to find this exact event - had a bit of a scare as im out of town the week before. ill be there, with a laptop, o2/odac, grado 325is, and my denon la-d5000s.

i will try to make it either way. i dont have any gear though (well i have a pair of the lawton modded ah-d5000s if anyone wants to hear those, but no serious gear). was looking at the event last week and was sad not to see anything about headphones, would definately love to see some there.

sweet i'll tell him to go for the 7520s then, thanks

Quote:   i havnt heard these before, how do they compare to akg/hifiman/maddogs in terms of accuracy? are those headphones for playback more than clarity?

heya, i have a friend who is putting together an album and needs a pair of headphones for editing. he doesnt care about how good they sound for playback, he just wants them to be as accurate and revealing as possible in the $300-500 range. im not sure what to recommend, as i have never really...

i used to have a pair of genelec 8040a's. beautiful speakers.

i think its hard to compare speakers to headphones. very different audio experience - i think if you are going to spend less than about 500 headphones will probably be the best bet, but i would rather have a pair of adams a7s than a headphone in same price range. i have a pair of old AR2-AX...

your right, i cant say that i have tested them for leakage - im just saying that personally i would just go with earphones if i was somewhere like the library and then buy a good pair of headphones without having to take that into account. especially so as the genres listed were very bass...

true. they are definately going to be quieter, but i still wouldnt recommend them for headphones to wear in a quiet library. id just go for a decent pair of earphones and then buy a pair of headphones without worrying about leakage. if your set on wearing big headphones in a library then the...

^^^^ but as i said - all good phones are going to have a lot of leakage. the mad dogs wont be much better in an enclosed area either (though definately worth a look)
