    which headphones sound superior with no need for any mods???????

    seeing that nearly every phone and product has everything from silly to serious mods i was wondering if there was one which they got completely right, straight out of the box...without the need for custom cotton wool, blue tack, felt pads, wood carvings etc... i know ears and brains vary, but...

    EXTREMELY ABUSIVE BURN IN - poorly matched DT150 drivers bludgeoned into submission

    my second pair of DT150 because i just love them so much. my first pair went well with the usual burn in and are stunning phones. i have always been a bit dubious about burn in but still feel it achieves something.   my second pair of DT150 were all over the place, with an obviously and...

    Why do my modest Aurum Cantus 6.5 inch V3M standmount speakers destroy my HD650 in bass depth, quality, quantity and realism?

    just wondering, about this. i have done many detailed instant a-b comparisons, and the v3m simply destroy the hd650 making them sound thin and weedy, and i'm not just talking physical air moving impact. they virtually match my dt880 80 ohm phones in depth retreval, making me believe the 880 are...

    i'd like to get a ranking or list going from users experience of the much higher quality bass monster / lower frequency biased headphones, so i can do some research on them and possibly make another purchase. i am really enjoying the dt770 pro 80 headphones, especially amplified by my old...

    DT770 Pro 80 Ohm - Information on modifications, including the blue tac/cotton wool mod please.

    I'm finding it a bit tricky to find the threads with these mods on them. any links or fresh info re these or any other DIY low cost mods would be great. i've coated a large portion of each inner cup wall with blue tac, pushed on at about the thickness it comes out of the blue tac wrapper...

    What's the best way into a set of Stax for the budget conscious buyer?

    entry level stax? discontinued stax of good value? associated amplification? is there any point in getting 'budget' stax over my HD650 and mf v3?

    recommendations on a much shorter decent budget cable for my HD650's?

    I'm after something similar to (or slightly better quality than) the original cable, but only 4 or 5 feet in length for use on my desk. I'm getting sick of the tangle. terminated in a 1/8th plug would be good too. I plan to keep the original cable intact. cheers

    who can compare/contrast both Sony v6/7506 and DT770pro80?

    i have a soft spot for my 7506, especially how crisp and deep they can go compared to my sen hd650. even grandma can hear the difference. also their portability factor and they sound good straight from my ipod. as someone often borrows my 7506 i was thinking of supplementing it with perhaps the...

    the only jazz i seem to enjoy is the smooth type, and the very odd occasion i stumble across some i tend to really enjoy it. the jazz i'm not so keen on (to give you an idea) i would describe as busy, harsh, challenging and sometimes schizophrenic sounding. can someone steer me in the right...

    Do headphones ever give you migraines or headaches?

    i have been noticing this sometimes, and was wondering if anyone else suffers this too? for me it could be the band pressure (hd650), and volume of music, which is never that loud really.

    Anyone enjoy the occasional 'traffic light grand prix'?

    i must confess to this myself....my current vehicle is swift enough to make it irresistable sometimes... more later....i'm not necessarily speaking of breaking any speed limits or laws here either by the way. any stories would be great to hear.
