I had the chance to shoot an introductory event with the HE-1 a while ago and I begged for some time to have a bit of a product shot. It's been a while since this happened, kind of forgot I used to post here so hence the delay. Anyway, I present some clean fun headphone pr0n: I got some time...

The HD600 is what brought me into this game and I've stayed with it through thick and thin. I go back and forth atm between an HE-4XX and my old Sennheisers but tbh putting the HD600 back on feels like coming home. Only headphone that could make me forget them is the HE-1 :) , thank god that is...

I'm sorry guys. I was looking forward to attending this meet, but it turns out I'm running in the municipal elections that occur at the start of October and I will be in the middle of campaining when you guys meet. I hope you have a great time!

Great vid! Loved the anecdote about his sighted fake A/B test :)

How much personal difference is there with the shape of the pinna and perhaps of the ear canal?

            The last 3 were made in Angkor Wat (Cambodia) and Bangkok

I like the idea of a null test!

I can probably go to Berlin a day in advance and help set up the venue for the meet. It would be nice if we could send out a mass PM interest check to all the EU headfiers, because I think a lot of people don't see this.   edit: if we have the date set, maybe we can ask jude to have anybody...

Try anything by the Go! team for intentionally bad SQ. This is one of the better quality tracks they have on a side note: It's interesting to listen to the original version of Raw Power from (Iggy Pop &) The Stooges. I recall reading that they were going for a deliberately bad sound...

You might want to check if you can adjust the gain on the dac with a jumper or something, a lot of equipment has this.

thats shooped >_>

Hey I came back here this year and last time I posted before that was 2007, its been 3 years 2 months and 28 days.

True, I realized that when I was driving around today. Thanks for the answer!

I've been looking into DIYing a pair of speakers with HiVi drivers. Happy to hear these are nice.

Tyll, maybe this has been discussed before, but have you thought of normalizing based on these curves? As far as I understand it, now you are compensating for the ear canals FR, but the psychoacoutics are important too.

I think he was referring to the curves found on this page... edit : well **** me these are basically the inverse of what you linked in, meh. edit#3: and now this ^ makes no sense as you edited too... ah well edit #2: this has interested me as well, it would be interesting to have FR...

I totally love looking at my music while listening. Am I alone with this? Should I be concerned? pic related Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Nice summary. I recall the debate about the headfi cable test, I'm happy it happened in the end. If we ever have a big euro meet I will try to assemble a Blind testing stand (not so sure about double blind as I will swap the stuff, but I am planning not to interact with the subject in any way)...

K501's have a wonderful midrange, should work well for vocals. Not perfect phones (don't expect too much bass), but the guy who's pair I auditioned has avoided upgrading to the 701 because he felt the midrange was lacking.

Arent the pads Jmoney pads? I assume you could order from there as well.

Btw, does anybody have access to measuring equipment that could verify the waterfall graphs on the audeze website? Those decay plots look too good to be true.

Truth be told I was surprised they were in the same projected price range as the HE-5LE, because I assume there is a big difference in manufacturing costs between the two (china <-> US , plastic <-> wood). The current price seems to reflect that better. It's also a good move psychologically IMO...
