I had a pair of Hp-1's for many years and loved them, I used and abused them until they developed a very minor buzz at low frequency's so I gave them to a friend. Recently I decided to get back into headphones and after auditioning many different models I realised what a huge mistake I made...

I am getting a little older and none of my freinds listen to this type of music nor am I exposed to it from the media, I have been reading this thread and others with interest and because of it I have gotten Six degrees,Train of thought, and Scenes from a memory by Dream theater and Undertow...

I just got the 590’s and am happy with their sound so far. A lot of people feel that these cans are to bright and I think they are a touch bright as well but not ear splitting as you would think by some reviews, at no time have they seemed unnatural or uncomfortable but I think if you had a...

Just got back from the store, I exchanged the Hfi's for a set of Hd 590's they should be hear in two weeks. Been a long time since I have gotten excited over sound equipment and I can't wait. Man thoes cracks suck they are having a similar problem with the Sony Dj's. PwM

I live in south west British Columbia so Chicago may be a little far to go to check out cans but would be nice. Consudering the price I am paying I decided to take the Hfi back and see what I can get. I expect the phones I get to last a long time so quality is more important than price. Thanks...

I think that you are right that the Sennheisers will be to expensive hear and I will probably stick with the Hfi's. I am just trying to avoid the I wonder if they would have sounded much better problem and it realy is kind of nit picking as the Hfi do sound quite good, far superior to the other...

Thanks for the welcome. The price of the Hfi-500 is 259.99 Canadian. I find it to be a nice phone but as I said a little bright but I like the imaging, dynamics, and efficency. I would describe them as exciting and very detailed, the bass is clear and tight not overpowering at all. I am using...

Hi every one. I am new hear and would like to thank you all for a fine forum. I live in an apartment and have decided to get a pair of headphones so I can turn up the volume on my old Rotel system. I have tryed the Sennheiser Hd 477, 500, 570, and the Sony Mdrv-700 Dj and do not like any of...
