And I've actually tried out the Beyerdynamics. I was not pleased with the treble spike. I guess my brain is so used to the neutral treble of the Sennheisers!

I like what the Denon's do with bass (as evidenced by the freq response graph). There's also a subjective quality about them. The closed nature of those headphones make the music feel like it's pulsating in your head, it's a suitable mood for blasting music. However, I noticed that the Denon's...

Thanks for the responses guys! And yeah I'm a musician/audio engineer actually. I did the foam mod on the Senns and they are great. Awesome for mixing or really 'listening' to things evenly. However, with music, sometimes I want to crank the volume and feel the deepness of the bass and upper...

Right now I own 2 pairs of headphones and I want to find that sweet spot listening to music.   I love the Sennheiser HD 558s, but the sound is too clinical, laid back, and not 'exciting' enough. This could be due to the open nature and lack of deeper bass on the headphones. The Denon...

I was thinking more about listening to music casually. To save money, I use the interface as a headphone amp, but I'm not sure if the $250 value is in the amp or in other things. I've never actually tried a really good headphone amp so I wouldn't know.

Any audio engineers here? I use a Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 to drive my headphones, and they go loud enough for my tastes. My question is: how good does this work as a headphone amp? I've never tried any high quality headphone amps, so I'm wondering what the equivalent value would be? Would...

I have the HD 558s and did the foam mod. IMO, the foam mod sounds a LOT better. Bass is fuller, and you can still hear the detail. Midrange is more forward too.   I also have a set of Denon AH-D2000s. The open Sennheiser sound is interestingly different. Even if I listen at loud volumes, the...

So I turned on my system and heard a loud high pitched noise coming out of the speakers. After some googling, I found out that the answer was to change the capacitors. However, me being a noob at soldering, I "fixed" it up, plugged it in, and heard crackling, popping, and fireworks. Suffice to...

I got my Denon AH-D2000's, and as I heard that they are really good with burn-in, I burned them in for roughly 250 hours. I didn't critically listen to them before the burn in, but all I know is that now I notice a very harsh treble and sibilance in the high end. I listen to my headphones...

Hey guys, I have a JDS cmoyBB, and whenever I turn up the volume even to 50%, I get horrible distortion. This is without the bass boost. With the bass boost engaged, it is unlistenable. I think I might have damaged the opamp or some component. I remember plugging it in when it was on/unplugging...

Hey guys, I have a set of Promedia Ultra 5.1s. Some of you may know that since they are old, they do not support optical or HDMI, which means no DTS. I did not want the Logitech z5500s because I know Logitech just focuses on loud bass, and I like some subtlety and detail in my sound too. After...

With the Astro Mixamp, will it simulate surround sound on a stereo headphone or will it simply make it compatible with the PS3?

Hey guys, I have a PS3 and I want to play games late at night and not disturb everyone who's sleeping. I want a good set of headphones that can reproduce the experience of a 5.1 setup. Note: Microphone quality does not matter at all. I used to have Tritton AX360's but voices sounded...
