    Beyerdynamic TYGR 300R

    Eventually I decided to buy the foam discs AND the tygers. If anyone cares, the foam discs don't do much on the 990s, a small difference but still a small improvement, treble spikes get tamed a bit by using the amiron foam discs, but honestly I can barely hear the difference in most tracks...

    Beyerdynamic TYGR 300R

    Gentlemen, is it true that these are basically gamer-ified DT990s? Because I have the DT990 250Ohm, I like them but they lack in booming bass and have a sharp treble, two issues that are apparently "fixed" with the TYGR. I was about to buy the TYGR300 on Beyer's website, but then I discovered...

    Sennheiser HD599 - first impressions.

    Oh wow, this thread is still around on the first page of the forums :D I wonder, do you think the impressions I posted 5 years ago are still accurate today? Back then I didn't really knew much about audio (and probably I don't know much even today). Anyway, I still have my original pair and use...

    The ancient Creative Fatal1ty headset, why do I like them so much?

    I have a pair of Creative Fatality that I got nearly 20 years ago, which are a crappy plastic gaming headset (with removable microphone that I long lost) named after some silly "pro gamer" fool that I know nothing about outside of memes that make fun of him and the god awful ridiculous...

    Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread

    I bought these headphones after finding them for 130€ on Amazon Italy. Received them a week ago, and... I totally dislike them. The bass is thumping and loose while the highs are piercing, VERY fatiguing to listen to even at low volume where everything just sounds muddy. The mids are nowhere to...

    Sennheiser HD599 - first impressions.

    I'm back to this thread after nearly 3 years. I confirm what I said, the 599 is just great all around, these are really versatile, and that's why I like them so much; they sound great out of just about anything. What's surprising is the amount of bass these have, despite being open, they dig...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Cool, I'm glad you liked them. I was surprised at how decent (good?) the sound was for a bud I bought just "because it was the cheapest pair with a mic". Unfortunately the mic is a bit crappy but the sound is really good for dirt cheap buds like these (they cost 8€ here, while a Monk costed me...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I have both generations of Monk buds! Both sound tinny compared to these. Especially going back and forth the difference is big. The mysound has much deeper bass even when used without foams while retaining acceptable clarity and soundstage imo. Please let me know if you like them when you get...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I haven't lurked here in ages but I recently came across a ridiculously good sounding pair of earbuds. I bought them because I needed a cheap pair of earbuds with mic to toss around without much care, so I expected nothing, but man these delivered to the point I got rid of my 5 pairs of VE Monks...

    Need help - HD 599s

    Dude, seriously... I stumbled upon this thread which is fairly old but I must reply because I was in the same situation as you a long time ago when I was into gamer crap. Your current 7.1 headset is utter s*** and you should do yourself a favour and getting rid of it. "Surround" headsets are...

    Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread

    Anyone here got or just auditioned the HD599? I got the regular 598 some time ago and posted here about the fact I didn't really like them. The 599 on the other hand was enjoyable from the first listen for me. I think the 599 has more bass presence that hits harder and goes deeper too, and also...

    Sennheiser HD599 - first impressions.

    150€ is a good price, I would go for them if I were you. The 599 definitely has a deeper and more engaging bass than the 598CS, which was pretty surprising to me. I had the same reaction as you when I got the original 598, very flat and unengaging (even though I wouldn't say they are "flat" if...

    Sennheiser HD599 - first impressions.

    I'm going to add a few more details even though nobody seems to care about these cans for some reason. I've been using them on and off with the 598CS and man the 599 is far superior in every single aspect. Even the bass is much better defined on the 599, it goes deeper and is also faster and...

    Sennheiser HD599 - first impressions.

    I just bought these in a moment of madness for 180€ on Amazon during Black Friday. I searched around the internet and it seems these are still not very well known, maybe because the price is outrageous and everyone is still using their old 598. Anyway, my first impressions after a few hours of...

    Really disappointed with the gigaworks T20

    So, I was bashing these very hard some time ago, but I realized that for some reason, my room had a weird reverberation going on, maybe due to the low ceiling or something else, especially in the area where I have my computer. As I was literally packing them to send them back to where they came...
