I'm thinking about building a custom set of cans with various materials I've collected over the years. I've got aluminum, titanium, delrin, exotic hardwoods, various high grade leathers, velour, etc. Basically everything you'd need to make a really great set of cans, minus the drivers.   A...

Quote: Yeah, I a/b'ed them with my harx900's as well... when I first put them on, I immediately had to go grab the 900's to make sure what I was hearing was correct. These are basically a harx900 mini-me IMO. I bought these out of pure frustration with the other cans I've been trying to...

My boss sent me down to Fry's yesterday to pick up some things, including a set of headphones for use at my desk. I previously had picked up a set of Shure 440's, but returned them due to comfort issues. They were also extremely clinical. Great for recording/mastering, not so much for listening...

Those AKG 240s look pretty good, and they're only $99, which is great. My only concern is the earpad depth. I suppose thatI could just redo the earpads overstuffed with memory foam, which is something I may end up doing regardless of which phones I get. It looks like they are the ones the...

I've been using the search function on the forums for a week straight, and googling until I can't stand it any more. I started another thread, but tonight I realized that it wasn't really asking the right questions.   Previously I owned a set of JVC HARX900's. They were very nice sounding...

I would say no. I got three bad HARX's in a row recently, from three different authorized resellers, all three in sealed factory boxes. The quality is going down, and the price is going up.   My first HARX900 was AWESOME, until I completely ruined the sound with the bandwagon mod posted...

I've actually built my own ribbon tweeters back when I was in the car audio scene, and had somewhat admirable results (although still not 100% listenable). I'm thinking it may be fun to play with making electrostatic headphone drivers. Does anyone know of a forum or site that may have in depth...

I'm considering scratch building a set of cans for fun, but I really don't want to sink a massive amount of money into it. I have everything completely covered besides the drivers themselves... so basically I need some donor-phones. I would go with the Fostex ortho's, but that's pretty much...

SOUL = SO Unbelievably Lame

Ok, thanks. That's the kind of feedback I'm looking for, although I am still open to suggestions.   To go slightly more into detail, my office is in the server room, and it's LOUD. I'm going to be reviewing audio files from our testing, and I need to have a reasonable amount of isolation...

Hi,   My boss has offered to buy me a nice set of headphones to use for a long project we're doing at work, and I'm having a bit of trouble deciding.   My price range is $100 or so, and I would like very comfortable, over the ear, preferably sealed phones. Foldable is a plus. Right now...

Quote: That's the exact reason I went to the HARX900's from the M50's, even though I liked the overall sound of the M50's a bit better. The 900's still win in bass though. s

Quote: That's one of the biggest problems with headphones IMO... and why I keep coming back to my HARX's even though I know there are much better to be had. They sound just good enough for me to be happy, and they don't hurt my head, or my wallet. They're a bit big, but I think they...

I would have to say HARX900's... I've heard a lot of phones in the $100 range, and some sound better, but none offer the combination of comfort, sound and price, IMO. They also aren't hurting in the bass department. They have ample bass at flat EQ, and can easily handle a few dB of boost without...

So, to start. I previously owned a set of HARX900's which I modded. I didn't enjoy the post-mod sound, so I sold them. I would actually say that most people would prefer them modded, but I need attenuated highs because my ears are sensitive, so the weak highs these come with stock is absolutely...

I know this is an old thread, but I had to reply... I just recieved a brand new in box set of HARX900's from an ebay seller, and have the EXACT same problem. The left speaker is roughly 3db quieter than the right, the highs are non existent, and the bass sounds muffled. The only thing that...

I just recently purchased my first decent set of cans (AD700's, LOVE them), and realized I hate laying them on my desk or hanging them over my monitor. I don't really like the look of the bananna stands I've seen, and I don't like the fact that they just have a narrow wire hook which deforms the...
