The BEST-LOOKING Headphones
FitEar TG334 are beautiful. That titanium tube is so nice looking. Second up would be the black Alpha Dogs/Primes. As of late, I find the K7xx to be quite a looker in addition to sounding quite good for their asking price. They are for sure an upgrade from the K701/K702 color scheme- Schokolade bar

Fostex T50RP Incremental Mods and Measurements
Is there any proper way to cut off the felt on the ear side of the driver so that you don't damage the dust cover? I can't tell how deep the material is so any help would be useful.- Schokolade bar

Fostex T50RP Incremental Mods and Measurements
So I tried Dynamat in the back and didn't like it and found cotton balls + tungsten putty in the back of the cups to be better for my taste. I did full the baffles with clay (crayola stuff I found at michaels) and I do believe sound has improved, butt I think the best modification is the...- Schokolade bar

What makes a pair of cans worthy of being called an "Audiophile" -class headphone?
From what I've seen headphones get the moniker of "audophile, reference etc" from the marketing department of said headphone's manufacturer.- Schokolade bar

Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread
So you actually think the HA1 is a step above the WA7? Interesting, as I thought the WA7 albeit having a slightly "technically inferior" DAC would have better sonic capabilities solely functioning as an amp. The HA1 does indeed have fantastic sound, but I also have heard the WA7, and it...- Schokolade bar

Finding information is hard. K702 vs HD600
The HD600 will shine with most amps as for the K702, not so much. It's pretty subjective on which headphone is theoretically better as they play in the same field, albeit with substantial tonal differences. The HD600 sound is a lot warmer and colored versus the K702, which has pretty flat sound...- Schokolade bar
