Hello everybody, have a HD 555 and considering upgrade. I originaly wanted HD 650, but because of a huge price difference (90-100 euro) I give HD 600 a chance. The biggest problem of my 555s is that they are way bass-shy for me. I have to use this EQ setting to make them sound...

Hello everyone, is there any difference in SQ between 50 and 120 ohm version of HD 555 or 595 ? Any information or graph will be appreciated. This graph shows response of 120 ohm HD 555 and I need to see the 50 ohm version. Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody, I have HD 555 and I'm considering an upgrade to ATH-A700. The reasons are : HD 555s opennes (leaks as hell) and the sound sig (way too bass shy and sometimes too bright for me). Will ATH-A700 be the right one for me ? Any thoughts and tips are welcome.

Hi evereyone, simple question - which one is better ? To my ears, Vorbis seems to be way better. LAME just seem to blur highs and kill the details in a very insensitive way (marginally) - it sounds uncomfortable to my sensitive ears though. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Does such a thing exist ? Bluetooth and memory cards support is also necessary. I am peepin' at W610i or W880i. But I doubt they support MTP and even play count. So, is there such a phone on the market?

Hi, I have Senns HD 555 connected into the SB Live! 24bit external (USB, a.k.a SB Surround 5.1). The problem is I find this combo very fatiguing for me. Often I find my ears tired out after just 40 minutes to 60 minutes of listening (depends on music I listen to). Sometimes I endure up to 2...

Maybe you say I got mad, but why not to compare the SQ of the best sounding MP3 players on the market with soundcards ? How good are Sony A818 or Toshiba T400 Gigabeat when it comes to comparasion with sound cards like Creative Audigy 2ZS, or EMU 0202/0404 ? Or the even don't reach the...

Hi, I am thinking about an upgrade of my portable gear. I want the best possible sound quality and last.fm support(even unofficial, but must work). SD(HC) cards support and decent EQ would be also appreciated. My portable headphones are Senns PX 100. I don't care much about display quality...

I am listening to this masterpiece right now (album version, 1988), and I am wondering, whether there is some better-sounding version available. Beggining is perfect and dynamic, but during choruses and after the part after second chorus it sounds really harsh and closed, tearing my ears. Is...

Hello Head-Fiers, I am looking for websites with measurements of freqency response of headphones like HeadRoom. Websites with measurements of loudspeakers are also welcomed ! thx in advance !

I was almost decided to buy the EMU 0202. But there, in Slovakia, its dramatically overpriced. (3700 Sk / 20.5[USD currency] = approx. 180 USD!!) So, what about Edirol UA-1EX ? Is it comparable alternative to EMU 0202 ? Does it have enough power to drive the HD 555s ? I am mainly interested...

Hi everyone, I am fresh-new owner of HD 555, connected into Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24bit external. I am thinking about upgrade of my source components, but I am not sure, which components to focus on. Headphone amp, or better soundcard ? Will be EMU 0202 USB ok ? Does it have enough...
