    Where are Audio-Technica headphones made?

    Their website claims it's the same place as their main offices but the building is so small.  How could they make all of these products in such a small place.  If you know where do they make everything?

    Looking for alternatives to the Audio Technica ATH-A700

    The ATH-A700 and the ATH-A500 before the 700's have served me well over the last 7 years.  They offered me pretty good sound quality and were rather comfortable.  The only downside I can see in them is the build quality.  The ear pads wear down rather quickly, wires become twisted inside and...

    What's the point of high impedance headphones?

    What's the point of high impedance headphones?  I see some models have two options (Low and High impedance).   So why would anybody go for the high?

    Would an Audio Technica ATH-A700 benifit from an external Dac/Amp.

    I was told at first I would see an improvement on these headphones from an amp/dac like the audio-gd FUN.  Then after I got the unit, and was dissatisfied with its improvement, people are now telling me that my headphones really could never benefit.  So will the A700's benifit at all, would they...

    Ear Pain with new Equipment

    Does anybody else get ear pain when they get new equipment?  I just got a Audio-gd Fun and while the amp/Dac sounds good, my ears hurt. Not that much, but they feel kind of tired or stressed.  The same thing happened when I switched headphones from my Audio-Technica ATH-A500 to A700.   Is...

    Audio-gd Fun DIR9001 Vs DIR8416

    I emailed audio-gd, but didnt get a response as of yet.   I mainly listen to rock/metal music and  watch action movies.  I dont think any of my music is 24/192Khz, but it may be in the future who knows.   Im a bit worried about the DIR8416's jitter and soft rich sound, like the website says. ...

    How much of a realistic improvment from soundcard to Dac/Amp?

    I know I have been told a few times that a Amp/Dac combo like the Audio-gd Fun will give me great results.  But just how much better is it compared to a standard soundcard or something like the $50-$100 range soundcards.  I know its hard to be objective, but id like some scale of what to...

    What else should I consider?

    I have been convinced that a Dac/AMP is the proper move for me to make.  So far I have only considered the Audio-GD Fun Basic and Sparrow Basic USB as well as the Zero.   Are there any other Dac/Amp combos that compete with these in terms of value for the money?  I mainly listen to rock/metal...

    Dac for Computer [Sparrow, Fun, Zero]

    Upon asking for questions about the Xonar it was brought up to me that the audio-gd brand was quite good, after my doubts of the Dac.  I will mainly be using Dac for computer audio.  Watching Movies and TV, as well as listening to lossless music.  I may play a few games, but rarely.  So far its...

    How much of a benifit from Xonar STX compared to lower end Xonar models?

    I can buy the STX for my Audio-Technica ATH-A700, but if I don't need to id rather not. My main use is lossless music, but sometimes play a game. I watch a lot of TV/Movies as well. So is the STX really worth it over the D1/DS/DX/D2X? I like the Xonar because it seems to have decent Linux...

    Amp/Dac Recomendations, instead of soundcard.

    As I mentioned in the other thread, all I will listen to is music, no gaming. So if I were to use a external Dac/AMP instead of a soundcard, or use the on-board spidif to a Dac/AMP what would be a good choice? Ive been reading for days and Its still all of a blur at times. Also as a...

    Im having trouble understding all of this, replacment for sound card.

    My sound card Audigy 2 ZS died and I need something to replace it with. I could go with a soundcard as recommended here http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f46/au...gaming-485004/ , but want to explore an external option. My headphones are the Audio-Technica ATH-A700 (64 Ohm) and will be using all...

    Audigy died, need a replacment for music and videos only, No gaming.

    My Audigy 2 ZS got shocked through my headphones via some static electricity and now the sound is all botched especially at higher volumes. I don't game any more, and only listen to music and watch TV/Movies on my computer. So I need a replacement which is hopefully better at music(mostly flac)...
