Adelaide meet
I did a review of them you can check out here http://www.head-fi.org/products/audeze-lcd2-planar-magnetic-headphones/reviews/9464 I sold them mainly due to comfort issues. They kept giving me headaches and when I found myself reaching for my HD600s more than my LCD2.2s I knew that I should...- dalb

Hifiman HE-400i and HE-560: From CES to Pre-Launch
Yep. I had that exact problem with the Audeze, the pressure points on the top of my head. I hated it. While the HE400 was evenly spread and although the headband looked less comfortable than the Audeze headband it was much nicer.- dalb

Hifiman HE-400i and HE-560: From CES to Pre-Launch
I auditioned my LCD2.2s before I bought them and laughed at the idea that they would be too heavy for me. Then after a couple months and many many headaches I realised comfort is all about living with a pair of headphones. Side note: I never had any comfort issues with the HE400, but still the...- dalb

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
If I could listen to speakers exclusively I would. However, until I graduate medical school and can afford my own place listening with headphones is the only way I can be considerate to my close neighbours and enjoy my music. I definitely get where Uchiya is coming from. With regard to...- dalb

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
My HD600 headband cracked but I was within warranty so Sennheiser just gave me a new pair of HD600s haha. But seeing as you have an HD580 you won't have warranty. I looked into buying the headband part for my HD600s before Sennheiser replaced them and they are just so expensive, particularly in...- dalb

Spotify, is the quality good enough?
I've been using Spotify Premium since it was available in Australia. I also have quite an extensive FLAC collection. I can't hear a difference. I've tried, but with my equipment (not bad at all), 320 and lossless are indistinguishable and I believe a lot of the differences people 'hear' are placebo. -
Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Yes I didn't really like the Asgard 2 either. Couldn't hear a difference between it and my Audioengine D1, which costs way less and has a DAC too. My Violectric HPA V90 on the other hand, is very nice with the HD600.- dalb

Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones
That's awesome. There is a store near me that has a pair of new D2000s. Maybe I'll pick them up and paint them black like you and save some money haha- dalb

Man, I love these headphones! The sound, the comfort, the price, it's all brilliant. Hope Sennheiser don't discontinue them for a long while yet- dalb

Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones
No you will not damage them running them from an iPad. Contrary to popular belief around here sometimes expensive headphones don't HAVE TO go with expensive amps.- dalb

Used it. Sucks (on my HTC one). If you lock then quickly try to unlock your phone it doesn't load for a few seconds and instead the default lock screen does. Such a bad app and developer support has been bad for a payouts app.- dalb

I haven't noticed any extra customization in stock android compared to sense 5. But you're right nova launcher gives a lot of freedom. My main issue with sense is the lame and rigid lock screen which nova launcher dlesnt improve unfortunately- dalb

Never really understood the hate for Sense 5. I've used Nexus devices with stock and an HTC One with Sense 5. What don't you like about it specifically? I understand not liking touchwiz (although I understand loving it too), has so much bloat. But Sense 5, just seems like hating because it's...- dalb

Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones
Thanks heaps. That's how I would describe the bass on the LCD2 and HE400 as well so that's nice. And yes the reason I sold the LCD2 was comfort issues, so it seems the TH600 could be good for me. Now just need a good price here in Aus! haha- dalb

Sorry I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'starts outside and travels in' and 'swells up inside and travels out'. Can you expand on it? Thanks for the response though- dalb

Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones
Hey guys, I'm pretty interested in the this can but auditioning is impossible. Can anyone give me an idea of the bass? Particularly in reference to cans I've owned: HE400, HD600, LCD2, DT770. Thanks for anyone that can help :)- dalb

Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!
OK thanks for the replies guys. I think I can get them down to about $700 Aus dollars as I've bought gear there before. Based on the higher prices we pay in Aus I'd guess this should feel like a $600 price for our US friends here. But yeah at that price point, maybe the Fostex TH600 would be a...- dalb

Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!
Anyone know what a good price is for a new D5000? Store near me has one left and I'm interested. Preferably in Australian dollars but obviously more users here are American and any guide is appreciated thanks!- dalb

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I've owned both the HD600 and HE400 at the same time. I don't hear or notice the minor nuances in the sound of headphones that others claim to hear, but this is what I noticed. The sound signatures aren't drastically different, however, the HE400 has more bass and seemed to have a more V...- dalb

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
If the TH600 is anything like the Denon X000 line then it's far from closed. No isolation and heaps of leakage from those headphones. To clarify, I haven't heard the Fostex TH600, and thus if anyone has their input would be much appreciated, but I was looking for a closed headphone too and after...- dalb
