    Best office headphones with LOW sound leakage? $50-$150

    Hey everyone, Haven't been keeping up with headphones for a while as I'm pretty happy with my setups, but I recently bought a pair of Bose QC35's for the office and listen to stuff that most would call "weird" and have an issue with sound leakage. I have recently just been using a cheap pair of...

    Most Neutral Budget portable DAC/amp?

    I don't know that there's a rolloff, it just feels like the air was sucked out of the music and replaced with bass. There hasn't been too many comparisons b/w the E17 and E07k, but on this very forum there was a review stating if you can afford it get the E17 because the E07k sounds bloated, and...

    Most Neutral Budget portable DAC/amp?

    Hey guys, I have an E07k and I feel it is somewhere around ~5dB boosted in bass with a treble roll off. While fun on some headphones, its ugly on others, I wanted to trade it in for something more neutral. The E17, not E17k, in its few reviews is said to be neutral so I have high hopes for that...

    The JVC HA-S680 - S400's and S500's big brother is here!

    What in the world kind of burn in did you do? I think I burned mine in for ~60 hours before use and now they are about a year old, and are pretty damn bassy with a good amount of distortion. However they have a nice, wide soundstage for something so small and with EQ the sound you can get out of...

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (Headphones, IEMs, Amps, DACs)

    On a similar budget as the Takstar, for a bass head you could get the JVC HA-S680 and JVC Xtreme Xplosives. The most technically superior bass head over ear in the price range is the CAL! Though its not "insane bass" like the others.

    Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 and Wireless!

    I have posted the frequency response of both in the last page. The M2's probably sound better, the M1's which I have have this irratiting mid treble sparkle, I would rather it simply be smooth as it would be even better for commutes.

    Reply to review by 'theuprising' on item 'Sennheiser MOMENTUM'

    Mids and bass have decent, mid-fi, level clarity something is wrong with your unit or your ears.

    Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 and Wireless!

    I feel like I must be going crazy, but I swear my M1's sound worse with the Remote wire than the Plain wire.   First impressions is that they do the A900x creamy mids except don't colour the headphones as much so they can be used with more genres. Though technically its bass is supposedly...

    Sennheiser Amperior Impressions Thread

    There's some ringing. So to be fair, I suppose the decay of the mid treble is pretty damn fast compared to other headphones, though I mean it still sounds boxed in, you can hear the treble bounce off the casing a little bit as it sounds a bit "metallic".   @Slaphead Very interesting stuff...

    Headphones for DJ-ing and everyday listening @ $300 -- Sennheiser HD-25 Aluminum or ...?

    I don't listen to EDM, mostly punk and alt rock, so before I return mine could you refer to me some artists or songs that the HD25/Amperiors are made for, because I don't why a professional would want the highs so emphasized and mids recessed. Maybe to hear faults better in the highs?

    Havi b3 pro 1 thread 2.0

    Here's a little story about the Havi B3. I Got the Havi for a hp for my commute and already have an amp, didn't like the stock signature at all but it responded very well to EQ. Not "amazingly natural" but pretty damn good for an IEM.   Sold it to get an IEM that more naturally suits my taste...

    The Takstar, Technical Pro, Gemini Greathon, CyberX, Qpad Thread

    HD 380 vs Takstar Pro 80? Both have similar signatures, I would put money on the HD380 having a wider soundstage however. From the charts, both look to have similar distortion.
