    Headphones for a big noggin, any suggestions? Newbie here.

    For your comparisons, I own both the a900 and the 595, and the former is definitely better for big heads, both in terms of relative comfort and durability.  I also have a big dead, so I know what you mean.   My 595s actually has some very small hairline cracks at the headband "hinge". ...

    Touching-up/Laquering closed cans or: fixing the scratch on my a950LTDs.

    Thanks a ton for that, I'll definitely go through that for reference.

    Touching-up/Laquering closed cans or: fixing the scratch on my a950LTDs.

    Quick bump for the morning.  Anyone ever do work like this for their cans?

    Touching-up/Laquering closed cans or: fixing the scratch on my a950LTDs.

    This might seem like a silly question, but has anyone ever use touch-up paint and/or laquer to fix or prevent scratches on their headphones?   I'm specifically asking about my A950LTD; I was doing some housework and accidentally knocked it off its perch, and it's got a sizable scratch on the...

    Are there any full-size that are considered portable?

    I carry my HD-25s around with me everyday. I very much consider them portable.

    Do you think wearing full-size headphones in public makes you look like a spaz/geek/weirdo?

    A perfect middle ground between behemoths and little buds and IEMs are HD-25's. I bring them with me everywhere; sizable but not too huge, plus it's built like a tank and the sound's great even with the noise from the city. If I had a pair of DX1000's, I sure wouldn't mind giving them a spin...

    Cantate or Central Station?

    I apologize for the derail, but would anyone know how the Central Station compare with the Headroom Desktop (basic) as a standard desktop headphone amp? I'm looking for a good amp with multiple outs and after having read Ferbose's review, the CS seems almost too good to be true, especially...

    You're all crazy IMO

    I know that the OP is probably long gone by now, but I'd like to say something as someone who isn't nearly as hardcore about this hobby as some are around here. The fact that people are passionate about and willing to invest in, almost to the point of absurdity, their headphone/audiophile...

    Recommendation for Amp with multiple outputs

    So right now I have a pair of HD595 and A900's running out of a Corda Headfive, with the option of adding a HD650 into the setup in the very near future.. I'm a bit weary of the idea of constantly plugging in and unplugging different cans, so I bought a passive audio selector. Problem? The thing...

    Yikes! Added a audio switch to my setup...my highs are gone!

    Bit of a newbie question for you guys here: So I added one of these passive audio switches to my setup so I can avoid constant cable switching. TCC TC-716 Details and Hookup The setup path is as follows, using a pair of Audio Technica A900 and Senn HD595 as output...

    Audio output switches

    Did a search, didn't find anything, so please excuse if this was asked before. I'm looking for an audio output switch; I'd like to have something where I can plug all of my headphones in with one or more input (from my amp, in all likelihood) and just switch the output between any of my cans...
