There are a lot of flagship headphones out there now. I am curious, what other headphones have comparably bright treble to say the AKG K812? While still keeping deepest of sub-bass of course. I tried the Audeze MX-4 and they were nice, but treble was very tuned down.

The T5P is not the "best" headphone in any particular category. Others have better imaging, others have more detail, others have higher treble, or deeper bass. However the thing I am noticing with my time spent with T5P's is that nothing sounds bad. Every recording sounds very good. My really...

Wondering if anyone keeps tracks of expected release dates from companies. I've had my K812 pro's for a while, which I think are great, but kind of what something different just to have something new. It's been years since the k812 pros came out, I presume AKG should have a new flagship coming...

So I have been going on about a year now with AKG K812 pro's and am just supremely impressed with them. Which at first I was hesitant to get them because there were so many mixed reviews and complaints about them. But they are by far and above my favorite ultra high end. I only have Audeze...

I have a schiit lyr and schiit bifrost. I think they are really great. But it seems kind of ridiculous to me that they are so large. If a computer can go from desktop to macbook air size, shouldn't audio tech do the same? I assume there has to be something just as good thats smaller.   I would...

So I was looking to buy a new headphone cable and was trying to decide between headphile.com and ALO audio.   Headphile has always seemed to me to just be a guy making audio and headphone cables out of materials that, people who believe in cables, know work well. That being just high purity...

So I am going through a process of becoming kind of like a tech gypsy, I am making my moving situation all portable so I can move around to different places.   One of the things I am doing is getting kensington locks for all my equipment. This is easy for my laptops, but am looking for a way...

I am seeking a DAC that has 1 line input and 4 line outputs. Preferably can run through ASIO.   I have a schiit lyr and powered monitors, so I'd prefer there be no amp component on this device.   Does such a thing exist?   I'd like this be as cheap as possible, but can spend more if...

So I know this is a headphone forum and all, but I've come to trust this forum the most with everyones taste and ability to describe what is good sound. And the car audio community seems to be filled with alot of people that don't really have that good of taste in audio equipment, so I am asking...

I notice now on cattylink they have a bada ph-12se, second edition.   http://www.cattylink.com/page286.html   I used to have a bada ph-12 and it burned out on me. However, that was largely my fault. But still left me a little soured to the bada and I wanted to seek out another amp.  ...

I used to have a pair of AKG K701's with a black dragon cable on them. I thought they sound excellent. Then one day out of curiosity, or rather I think a hair got stuck in the driver, I opened them up to look inside. I noticed that the drivers had two rather large mental poles sticking out of...

I used to really like the old Shure e4c. It had a bit rolled off highs, not the most detailed, but it had enough detail and a good sound signature to make electronic music really engaging. So I got the new Shure se310 thinking it'd just be an improvement on the similiar priced e4c. The SE310 is...

So if you have ATH-A500's, or the A700, and I think the A900 has the same pleathered earpads.   Well over time this pleather starts to peel off.   So a while ago I just completely de-pleathered my a500 earpads. Put them in water and just rub and rub until it all comes off. It leaves you...

I want to get a tube amp for my k701's. Can anyone offer me recommendations? The primary quality I want is spaciousness. Of course I want the bass and treble to extended as far as possible. But the main quality I want is spaciousness, the sound having depth and width. I listen to alot of...

So I have had two Shure e4c's fail on me because one channel starts cutting out. This is caused by the cable starting to fray/separate internally. As I can still push on the cable on the broken earpiece and have it flash on intermittently. The first set of e4c's died after about 14-16 months...

So I've had a bada ph-12 for about 1 year now and it no longer turns on. I push the power button, the tubes heat up and then the power light just flashes repeatedly. Then it never stops flashing and never starts working. Is there any easy way to fix this myself? Like maybe something has...

So of the IEM's I have thus listened to I would say: Shure e4c > Etymotic er4p > Shure se210 > Super fi.3 (maybe less, the like $90 ones) The etymotic I did find more detailed on the highend particularly, and all around. But I found that it's midrange lacked sort of the more open, full...

So I bought what was supposedly a matched pair of EH 6Sn7 tubes from a local store to go in my bada ph12. But the left channel is noticeably louder and if I actually look at the glowing pins in the tubes, the left pins glow brighter. I've never owned or dealt with tubes before, so I got no idea...

Can you guys tell me what all the options would be for a good hybrid amp to go with the AKG K701 for under $500.

Has anyone tried the new dt770's? Whats your impressions? And I can only seem to find them in 250 ohm, did they not update the 80 ohm version? Will an iPod be able to drive 250 ohms unamped?

I know theres alot of threads about this, I've read them. But I want to know just one specific thing about these two that I didn't see discussed much. Which one sounds more spacious, bigger, further away from your ears?

It's a headphone forum, I know. But I know and trust this forums opinion, so I'm just asking here. I'd like to get some speakers to run off my computer. I'm largely interesting in just a 2 piece set, bookshelf speakers, maybe studio monitors. I'm coming from HD650's, so something with a more...

I understand that ABX testing is a pretty solid way to see if a person can hear a difference. But, I'm starting to really question if it necessarily shows the best results. I remember back in the day when I first started this hobby I would convert albums to 192 kbps from lossless and listen and...

I am a complete DIY amp noob. complete. But I'm not a noob to soldering an electronics in general. So I just got this crazy idea that I should upgrade my pimeta in order to help increase my DIY amp abilities. So I currently have a single op amp pimeta, opa 227 I believe, I don't know all the...

I love classical albums alot, I really like the music in some, less so in others, but in most classical albums, they're produced and recorded so well that it just creates an extremly clear sense of depth and soundstage. Where you close your eyes and completely forget where you are because the...
