    Do you ever get used to hot ears from headphones?

    I’ve gone through that with some older headphones and the worst heat was from Sony XB700. The pads were huge and bass type phones. Cheap sound and the pads ended up falling apart, shedding black tiny leatherette pieces all over my ears. But my Beyerdynamic DT 880 velour pads never get hot or...

    Brief Impressions: Beyerdynamic T51p, T90, T1 and A20

    I haven't watched too many video reviews on the 3rd generation but doesn't seem positive. The reviewer preferred the 2nd gen model of the T1. I wasn't sure to pay sticking with Beyerdynamic or try Sennheiser for example. Since I had the A2, maybe there are some headphones that sound good with...

    Brief Impressions: Beyerdynamic T51p, T90, T1 and A20

    I own the A20 with DT880 600ohm headphones and really like it. They are bright and great for those who prefer treble more than bass. Not ideal for hiphop/rap music but since I listen to many genres of music, this is a nice way to listen to that genre for longer. Typically the bass will give me...

    Been here since 2007, time to upgrade my headphones

    Sorry, a budget would help, eh? :) I was thinking around $500-$600 CAD for headphones. My only question is will any of these headphones require an amp/dac? I'll use these mostly at home, so portable in the sense of moving around the house not travelling to work with it.

    Been here since 2007, time to upgrade my headphones

    So I've been a member here for 10 years and it's time to upgrade. I started reading the forums and learning as much as I can about improving my audio environment. I was younger then and didn't have much extra cash to spend and did the best I could. Years passed and life went on and I was on...

    The Basshead Club

    I tried getting the XB1000 but only found the XB700 which arrived today. OMG bass! I can't imagine after 30 hours of use. Compared to my other headphones, these are the Beats that Dre needs, his music sound better on this even without EQ on. Listening to Big L right now and some Mos Def...

    What headphones are you currently rocking?

    Sony XB700 arrived today, I just had to to hear what all the bass heads were talking about. Amazon had one last pair and thought I would take the plunge.   Been listening via my iPod's and iPhone, Mac Mini and Macbook Pro for a few hours and it's not bad. Amazing sound straight from the...

    Dr.Dre Beats Tour

    I was very surprised that these were the first pair I've owned that seal properly and I don't hear outside noise. It's like I'm in the 1% group that this actually fits!  In regards to what is cool, I wouldn't know, I'm too old to know

    New iPod nano does Crossfade

    I wish Apple would bring this feature to every iPod and iPhone. I really like it with the iPod Nano and it's one reason I keep it around.

    Dr.Dre Beats Tour

    After reading many reviews and owning them for over a year now, I've come to the conclusion that they are not as bad as many have posted.   I listen to different genres of music but mostly hip-hop and RnB. I expected more bass from them since they are from Dr. Dre and I listen to his music...

    Best Headphone amp for iPod classic 160gb?

    I thought IEM's didn't need to be amped and were ok through the headphone jack. Isn't the amp good for cans like AKG 701 that need the power? I also have the PA2V2 with a LOD cable made by a member here too.
