I snapped a picture of the driver in question. What I mean is that a small bit of the dust cap has become unglued from the cone.   http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/189/img0018abp.jpg/   You can see the damage at the right side of the dust cap.   However, based on what you guys...

I grabbed a pair of second hand B&W bookshelf speakers a couple days ago and I recently noticed that the right speaker's woofer distorts at around ~100 Hz. The left speaker is perfectly fine.   I examined the driver for a bit and I noticed that a small part of the cone at the center of the...

Perhaps you can try the Sennheiser HD 600/650. They do sound significantly different from the 595, and have long been regarded as a very musical headphone.   How high is your budget? The Audeze LCD-2 is said to be very natural sounding.

Quote: I think the K701s sound veiled when not driven properly, which is why many people say they sound so much more clearer and dynamic when amped.

Hi,   Headphones + Amp < $300 is sort of a fallacy (i'll explain).   Not many cans under 300 need an amp except the K701s and the Senn HD600s and the Beyerdynamics. For those that need an amp, the cost of the cans ($200++) and a decent amp (minimum $200++ as well) will overshoot your...

I would think M-Stage if you're on a budget, Burson HA160 if you're on a loose budget, and the HA160D if you have no budget. All great amps (and decent dac) in their own respect.   SPL amps are also very good, but are more studio oriented in my opinion, so not too sure about how auditor and...

I experienced a similar problem with my IEMs before. It could just be that the plug has become loose or bent (even slightly is enough to destroy the connection)   Try using your warranty. If not, perhaps you can find a replacement cable.   I'm not too sure about DC offset problems and...

Quote: Not true. Each can has their unique sonic signature. Just because someone likes one doesn't mean the others are inferior. I would say that SQ wise all 3 are around the same level, with the 840s being perhaps a tad higher.   I own the DT770s and heard the SRH840s before. If...

Quote: I concur. The portapros are good at their price point. But that isn't saying that much when compared to other great cans like the senn 600s which are also great for their price (which happens to be more than 10x more)

omg thats sooo cute haha... too bad my cans are too large for that small stand T.T

Hi! Thanks for this generous offer! :D

I don't think its worth such a drastic price difference, though I haven't heard the 990 pros, only the premiums. Especially since in the US the price difference between the 2 is much smaller (maybe about $50?) I don't see why it should be so expensive in Europe though... Aren't they made in...

Do you prefer a big or small soundstage?   Seems as though you like audio technica sound sig. Have you tried the AD700 or AD900?

Its best to try it out than to take the word of other people with regards to comfort :D If you can't, check with someone who has both cans. I have only tried the denons for a short while but they are quite comfortable.

What do you mean by overkill? Not being able to drive the headphone? if so, then probably not.   There is no 'most' cost efficient pair of cans. It depends on the ears and tastes in music.   As for your amplifier, does it have a 1/4" plug? If not, you may need a special adapter. But its...
