I'd like to buy her a pair as a gift, but I haven't been on Head-Fi in a while so I'm not familiar with some of the newer headphones that's been out. I didn't find much success on searching option either, so I need your help. She's a typical mainstream listener, a lot of k-pop music on her...

I have a pair of studio version which I found out its foam discs that cover the drivers (not the earpads) on both sides weren't attached to the drivers at all. Basically the only thing that secured them in place were the earpads themselves. When I took out the earpad the foam just came right...

Bump. AKG owners please help I need to know

Trying to find some new pads for the K240M I'm wondering if the ones designed for K240S and MKII fit on the Monitor version. Thanks.

HD598 is a relatively light headphone, in fact one of the most comfortable set I've owned.   Maybe look into Yuin earbuds? They don't block noise like the IEMs do. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Sound quality is mostly subjective; what sounds good to you may not sound good for others.   I enjoyed both D2000 and HD598 for music and gaming. Both have excellent soundstage. For Counter Strike I enjoyed D2000 a little more due to heavier bass response. HE grenade explosions and AWP shots...

lol can any of you tell me how this thread has nearly 3000 posts?

I use Sony ZX700 all the time. It's basically a smoother version of the V6. Plus the cable is appropriately sized so that it can be used with portable players unlike most of the studio monitors.

This leads me to believe there will be fake models for every high-end headphones available in the future. We need to be more careful.

That Sweetwater site you referenced is overpriced. I've seen K240 and K271 go about $150 in person, and even Q701 is priced at mid $200s in most stores.   I can't guarantee authenticity for any of those sellers, but judging by the price alone, there's nothing suspicious of them.

I'm willing to bet OP will like Denon D2000 driven from an iPod more than HD650 on a dedicated source. It seems to me he just doesn't like the Sennheiser signature. HD650 is a very warm and romantic headphone yet mellow and sleepy at times.

Wow they're much more expensive than I imagined. Guess I'm sticking with my HD600.

When did you purchase yours?

I thought after Logitech bought UE they shortened the warranty period to 1 year. I just checked the Logitech website and apparently it's back to 2 years?   http://www.logitech.com/en-us/ue/ue-earphones/devices/8657#section=specsAndGuides

SR60  

This is my favorite track with the D2k  

I find it odd no one complained about the comfort of the ZX700 so far. IMO the cups are too shallow. The drivers press down against my ears and it's quite painful for a circumaural can.

Wait, I thought HD doesn't have a preamp built in. Isn't that what HDP is for?   H = headphone amp D = DAC P = preamp   That's what I thought the letters stood for.

I can definitely see myself going back to entry level cans like the SR60 and K240 if I'm on a budget.   OP, the best cure for an upgraditis is to simply try them out yourself. I used to be on the same boat, but after hearing a lot of equipments I've completely cured my itch for an upgrade. I...

Quote:   Actually that's exactly how I would describe the SA5k. What makes you think they are a piece of crap? Can you make a brief comparison between the SA5k and the Qualia?

My first reaction was actually pretty disappointing. At the time I really had no clue what live sound actually sounded like, so I was expecting something otherworldly, as in completely different sound. I was definitely chasing the dragon in the beginning of my journey. Looking back, I guess I...
