    Where to find official (preferably) Sennheiser HD 700 Cable?

    Hey all,    Bought some used HD 700s recently and so far they're outstanding, but it came with a Venus Audio replacement cable. The cable is constantly wrapping around itself, but the main issue is that the two plugs for L and R on the headphones don't snap in well at all and are frequently...

    Looking for a $500-$1000 pair of cans as an upgrade to Audio Technica ESW9s and Shure SE215s

    Actually, I think you're the one who convinced me to keep my ESW9s a year ago! I love them, thanks for the previous advice! As for the T90s, I read about them and think the T1 will suit me better, but I'm glad to hear you like the T90s as they are fairly close to the T1!

    Looking for a $500-$1000 pair of cans as an upgrade to Audio Technica ESW9s and Shure SE215s

    Thanks for the recommendations! I've been eyeing the 00s for a while actually, and now Massdrop has a Purpleheart edition. However, I do think I want an open backed headphone this time around, and if that's the case, do you have any you'd recommend? I've been seriously eyeing both the Audeze...

    Beyer T1 vs. Beyer T 1 (2nd Gen) + Vali 2?

    Hey all,   I'm seriously considering the Beyerdynamic T1 as my next headphone but had a few questions first. To start, I know they released a 2nd Generation model (T 1) and now the 1st Gens are pretty cheap. I wanted to make sure however, that there are no glaring issues with the 1st Gen that...

    Need help picking new headphones (HD 700s, EL-8)

    Hey all, I'm interested in upgrading my setup in the near future, and since this time I'm looking to drop some serious cash, I don't just want generally good, I want great, and the kind of sound that works for me. To start, I'm coming from closed back, portable Audio Technica ESW9s as my main...

    Honestly, I'm listening right now, and the more I do, the more I smile! I was wrong to judge so soon. I think I'm finally falling in love...

    I am disappointed with my new headphones and don't know what to do...

    Alright, update. So I pulled out an orchestral CD and did a listen on my computer at 1,411kbps. Here are my impressions when I compared the Philips and the ATs: -ESW9s are noticibly louder and crisper, much more of a difference -Philips struggle with volume with the amp and computer on the...

    Sound like a good idea. I don't know if I'll be able to get out to try any but at least it's an option.

    Hmm I think you may be right. According to the guide here on Head-Fi, the ES10s are V shaped and Bassy, do you have any others I should look at?

    I am disappointed with my new headphones and don't know what to do...

    Well, right now I am listening to mp3s purchased off iTunes or low bitrate mp3s ripped from CDs. I don't think I knew quite what I wanted before, but now I can say I like a clear and precise headphone, but not necessarily neutral. I'd say I like a full headphone all around but bass and treble...

    Unfortunately I don't have the money for the DAP now but it's on my list. I will also try maxing my Note. I'm wondering if I were to try listening with CD (lossless) audio If I would notice a bigger gap between my headphones. It could possibly be a bottleneck since I tend to rip my CDs to a low...

    I am disappointed with my new headphones and don't know what to do...

    I am using a Galaxy Note 3 with a FiiO EK11 amp. Have not tried CDs yet. I will say, the amp and extra volume does make a nice difference in quality. I want to like them so bad and I do but it's not the huge jump in quality I was expecting. My friend also took a quick listen and said he didn't...

    Hey all, I just got the Audio Technical ESW9s and was so very much looking forward to a new level of sound quality. My previous headphones were Philips TR 55LXs. Never heard of them? They were 60 bucks and very durable but nothing anybody cared about. Well, I got the ESW9s a day ago and was...

    Yes, I am primarily using a Galaxy Note 3, but with lossless files and sometimes a CD player.
