Bumping this thread since I plan on taking some headphone measurements soon using the CD + washer approach that HamSandwich did. Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, the idea is to use the CD (placed around the decibel meter's microphone) and press it up against one of the cups of the...

I'm talking about the driver warranty, but I was wrong, it's actually 3 years. Still, I am hoping the failures are a thing of the past.

Has Audeze improved their quality control in recent years? I read a lot about driver failures and wood cracking from a few years ago. I just got a rosewood LCD-2 which was made in June 2016 and I love it, but now I'm a little paranoid about its longevity. I'm going to get back in touch with the...

I recently got an Audeze LCD-2 (latest version I believe) and sent it to Sonarworks to get a custom calibration file made. They sound great and I figured they'd be my "endgame" purchase, but they've made me realize that even though I want neutrality across most of the spectrum, I suppose I'm a...

I'm looking for pretty flat headphones that have a really good bass extension/response (so perhaps some bloating there is OK) but also don't have a very steep treble rolloff (I don't want to trade more bass for an overall darker sound signature). I plan on using Sonarworks and likely fine-tuning...

Awesome, thanks so much for that link!

I'm sure this has been asked multiple times in this behemoth thread already but I haven't had any luck trying to search through it (either with Google or head-fi's search), so I apologize. Do the LCD-2 Classics sound different than the pre-fazor LCD-2s? I ask because I'm considering purchasing a...

I know it's sacrilegious to mix with headphones, but I don't really have much of a choice in my current situation and I'm doing it mainly for fun anyway. Based on my research for my budget, the K712, Spirit Pro, and MDR7520 seem to be some pretty safe choices for my budget and I keep coming back...

Hi everyone,   I'm interested in getting a pair of Focal Spirit Professional headphones in the near future and I've come across a store from China selling them on Ebay but with no box/case for MUCH cheaper than the retail price in America. They put the word "Genuine" in the title too...which...

If you don't mind looking used, I think the E-MU 0404 USB is fantastic value. Here's my review: https://theguitargentleman.com/e-mu-0404-usb-2-0-audio-interface-review/

Hi everyone,   I'm totally new to positional audio for gaming, but for my new computer build I'd really like to get a sound card that can take advantage of it. It would also be a big plus for it to have a built-in headphone amp that would work well for my 250 ohm Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pros I've...
