I just received a new pair of 598's from Amazon and am a bit disappointed in its sound signature compared to the 595's I've owned since 2009.   The thing that bothers me most is that I've read the 598's sound "fuller" than the 595's, except after doing A-B comparisons with multiple songs, the...

So right now, I own 2 headphones:   Sennheiser HD595 Ultrasone HFI-780   They both are awesome in their own rights. They both sound good on any device.   The HD595 sounds open, and airy, like I'm watching a live performance. Though, as good as it sounds, compared to the HFI-780...

I got the Nuforce uDAC-2-HP from Amazon in the mail just yesterday and I must say that I'm quite disappointed with its quality. Two issues:   1) Low-volume channel imbalance. The right side dies out way before the left side at low volumes (6-9 o'clock). At around 8 o'clock there's absolutely...

Okay, so this is directed at you HFI-780 owners, whether you own it currently, or have owned it in the past.   I got my HFI-780's 2 days ago, and listened to them for a good 3-6 hours right out of the box. They sounded great already.   BUT there was one gaping issue with the headphones...

So I just put in my order for a new set of HFI-780, and I'm hoping to get the most out of these set of cans on my laptop. I've heard that even though the 780's can run fine without a dedicated amp, they will really shine if paired with one.   Do any of you know if a dedicated dac/amp is...

The criteria that I'm looking for in my next set of headphones:   1) Portability. Must be able to fold or be easily stored. 2) Requires no amp to sound good. (Will be used on a laptop/mp3) 3) Closed-back for isolation. 4) Circumaural (around-ear) as opposed to on-top-of-ear. 5) Good...

Hey Head-Fiers! I'm currently in the market for a new set of "laptop headphones".   For the past 4 years, I've been using the Sony MDR-7506's, and have definitely enjoyed these headphones so far, as they reproduce an almost unbelievably accurate sound without being biased in any frequency...
