Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (24-bit/192KHz)
My Note 3 (SM-N9005) stock out-of-the-box works perfectly with both the Musical Fidelity X-DAC and HeadRoom Total BitHead via microUSB if that helps.- gordonshowers

Has anyone here owned either the k701 and the pro900 for a period?
I've never heard the K701s, but the 900s have a pronounced bass response whereas some find the K701s have a low bass response. So that's one major difference straight away.- gordonshowers

HD 650 Amp
Well, if you wanted to get the v-dac i'd highly recommend you try it with your existing airhead before getting a new amp. No harm in trying.- gordonshowers

Transportable
Hey Kernmac, i'd have thought your Pro 900s would fit the requirements perfectly? And they fold up fairly small.- gordonshowers

Ultrasone Pro 900 Owners, your opinion?
I've owned these headphones for a couple of days now. I had HD600s but wanted some bass. The HD600s have almost none. I like the Pro 900s a lot, to the point that I don't think I'll be wearing the HD600s again. With the HD600s I was spending time listening to the detail in the sound...- gordonshowers

Ultrasone Pro 900 sound leakage
Once again, thank you all for your help. I'm gonna go for them! I know they're not a complete upgrade over the HD600s. But they sound like they'll be a good complement when my wife's asleep, and I can always use the HD600s when I'm lazing in bed and she doesn't mind a bit of noise...- gordonshowers

Ultrasone Pro 900 sound leakage
Thanks very much for all your replies. With the reduced volume I can get away with they sound like they'll be perfect. I dearly love my Senns (especially female vocals and acoustic instruments), but there are many times I wish there was more bass. Electric guitar lacks a little life, and...- gordonshowers

Ultrasone Pro 900 sound leakage
Hi everyone. I currently use HD600s in bed, about 2 feet away from my wife. I like to listen "fairly" loud, and because they're open-backed they leak too much sound for her. Can anybody please tell me how quiet/annoying a pair of Pro 900s would be so close to somebody when listened to...- gordonshowers

K-702 vs. HD-800 Blind Test...on my girlfriend
Great thread! My amp & headphones are on the bedside table, and my wife often listens. Darkvoice 337 & HD600s: Although she appreciates the quality of sound, she prefers CX500 out of a Nokia phone. I get the definite impression from this & previous posts by Acix that the HD800 & SPL...- gordonshowers

Any options
I leave remote control duty to my mobile phone: Salling Software - Salling Clicker for Windows Salling Software - Salling Clicker for Mac Works perfectly, so long as your source is a PC or a Mac. Means you can choose whatever amp you like.- gordonshowers

The great headphone massacre (Help!)
My suggestion would be to use a short headphone extension cable, left *permanently* plugged into your TV headphone socket (or PC headphone socket if you think it more likely to be the culprit). Then you will avoid any pressure on the headphone socket itself, and therefore eliminate any...- gordonshowers
