this is my follow up.   I ended up with the UE 900s and the B&W P5s at the end.   Perfect, no.  best case for me though.   (Note: I was able to sell TF10 and Etys so I had a little extra funding).   UE 900 needs Comply-bought tips (the longer ones), I had some, they fit, still...

thanks for posting...  I guess no one was interested in helping a fellow brother :)   I went shopping sunday morning.... and I went with the UE 900s   as a bonus the cord matches my french blue tumi iphone 5 case...   I was going to take pics, do the whole unboxing thing, but I am...

Hi everyone,    The advice here is always great, so I thought I would ask since I'm about to jump to something new.   Currently what I own are   TriFi10s with Fiio cord and Comply tips Etys hf3 I think. Audio Tech M50s (the straight cord)   I've problems will all of them, the...

Quote: I have the 50s, I had a friend compare them as I did on an iPad... Beats were better without an amp, and I am far from a Beats fanboy.  50s can't get the volume up enough to show how good they are.  I wanted to be the one who said, look, Beats cannot compare, but they were better on...

My only experience of ownership going open is with Grado 60s, I bought them from the store on the block that the restaurant the 'coffee shop' was located, and opened them up with a friend at an outside table.  These were the first top headphones I could afford (it was the 1980s) and I remember...

not the HD-600s, but Stereo Exchange on Broadway near where the old Tower Records was, has the HD-800s in a display case as you walk past the cashiers area (top shelf, small glass case).  I was going to ask to try them on, but after 10-15 minutes of not being able to the attention of a...

Quote: GREQ, I do have thoughts on this.   I've been to some very nice restaurants in NYC (almost all the ones considered top tier except for Per Se (I haven't been to Per Se (edit)), and one thing myself and my buddies would look at was the glass that the wine was served in.  Many...

Thank you everyone.  Before I begin, I would like to thank everyone for not turning this thread into a 'troll thread' but actually taking the time and effort to explain.   I have to say, my knowledge is not on par with anyone who posted above me, and some technical terms have gone a little...

before bed, my 'dumb' question came to mind also.   If closed headphones cannot create the true sound the artist wanted. If open headphones can (I am sure the source of the sound has something to do in this)   Why headphones?  Why not speakers?  To me, privacy is key for headphones...

thank you TSU.   I understand now that soundstage should be open to give proper sound.  I'm personally limited as I don't want to leak my sound to others.   From your message, I think you mean that an open headphone will give true sound. So, what would have amp do to correct closed...

these are what I currently use.  TF have a fiio cable and comply and 50s have a velco bundle for the 9 foot cable.    

Quote: Billson, thank you.  I do have questions but because I have a habit of a wall of text I will be short.   if not everyone likes a flat sound, and the flat sound is what the artist created, are not the headphones creating a sound that the artist did not create.  Maybe it is making...

I don't walk into a recording studio, but if I did, I would love to hear what you hear, and I would hope it would be awesome.

thank you 2enty3 for the effort.  I lurk a lot, and I get the feeling most of what is posted are ads.  Some very good ads, but all with an agenda.   You can see from my prior posts that I have tried, but every head-ear phone I have has failed me to 'rock my world' then I thought, it...

I've watched 20 posts (edit) be responded to and the people who read this post did not respond.  Did I not post something creditable or worthy (probably) or did I not explain correctly what I mean (probably)?   Headphones should match watch was created by the artist, nothing more, so what...
