Beyerdynamic DT-1770 Mod Thread
is ti possible to mod the 1770 into a 1990? The drivers are exactly the same (beyerdynamic part nr.) as well as the amiron. so I guess the only difference would be the outer cups which are obviously open...? does someone have detailed pics of the 1990 vs 1770 from the inside?- Aquanote

PSB M4U1 - Thoughts?
best headphones I ever heard! (and I heard many, at least in my mind) they are ugly, plasticy, seem brittle and after 30 minutes or so they get uncomfortable for me. but they just sound so wonderful. no weaknesses, just a piece of art from top to bottom. why is there no beyer that sounds like...- Aquanote

The Stax Thread III
I've been reading up on the Lambda Pro for hours now and find a lot of conflicting opinions regarding their qualities. Some say its one of the best headphones of all time, even rivaling the high-end Omega's. Others find them to be inferior to beginner Staxes like the SR-207 with reasons such as...- Aquanote

The Somic Thread--50mm driver open air full size cans pop out of nowhere, sound amazing
yea you have to pull them off. and yes, you can get them back on the same way. its a little fiddly but once you get the hang of it, its easy. most headphones have the pads attached this way. true, comfort isnt great. i'm using Turtle Beach pads, takes 2-3 times longer with them until it gets...- Aquanote

Beyerdynamic T90 Discussion and Support Thread
exactly! with good recordings there is no sibliance with the T90. It just reproduces the sound of the recording and doesn't take anything away, good or bad. Some people don't like that so there are headphones that are rolled off or mask that sound. For me, I rather have that detail...- Aquanote

Least painful downgrade from Sennheiser HD-800
when I think of what sets the HD 800 apart the most from cheaper headphones its the technological side, not so much the tonality: Details, soundstage, speed, clarity. Considering this I would say that a T90 comes very close to that at a good price. Some say its 98% of what the T1 is ;) Dont...- Aquanote

Alternative to Asus Essence STX / ST - too much background noise

Alternative to Asus Essence STX / ST - too much background noise
I'm receiving quite a bit of background noise through my STX and ST. Tried them both with different power sources on different mainboards and so on to eliminate any other source of error. Its when I switching from speaker to headphone out that its most noticable, Volume at low or max makes...- Aquanote

The Takstar, Technical Pro, Gemini Greathon, CyberX, Qpad Thread
i would say that the the takstar HI2050 is a little behind the FA-003 but still good nonetheless. depens on price i guess ;) you should take a look at the somic mh463. it beats them both by a large margin, albeit the earpads are not as comfy.- Aquanote

I love my Sony NWZ-F806 but need a DAP with physical buttons!
what i like about the f806 when i compare it to the other sony's i have (nwz-a826, nwz-s545) is the fantastic soundstage and the details. the background noise is a little loud for my taste. can someone recommend me a dap with physical buttons like play, pause, forward etc.. I hate to...- Aquanote
