Anyone who thinks or states that these headphones are overly warm/dark is WRONG in my opinion.. lol.

Bump

I was persuaded to not buy a budget tube amp and instead get a fully solidstate USB DAC/AMP combo, so I bought one of these earlier today,   http://www.ebay.com/itm/320726112350?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649   let me know what you guys think

http://www.head-direct.com/Products/?act=detail&id=62   Looks like a great price on the A 6000 mkii, everywhere else seems to be $250. Does anyone know if the 80ohm cans are a good match for this?

Hello,   Looking for a tube or solid state amp around or under $200 to drive Beyerdynamic DT770 pro 80 ohm cans optimally. Read a little and heard about the Musical paradise mp 301 mkii, Qinpu a 6000 mkii, schiit asgard, etc. Not sure how great they will power 80ohm headphones. Any...

Agreed, needed more unobviousness

OMG       Monster just put an unsolicited bid in today.

Has anyone done any modding to Pro550s or know what could and should be modded? I have 2 pairs of them and would like to mod one to compare to the other one that will remain stock for the time being and hear if there's any noticeable difference sound-wise. I would not like to do a cable mod btw...

Bump..    

Bump     Are the bravo audio tube amps on ebay any good?   The amp will power Ultrasone HFI 780s, which are 35ohm nominal.

Looking to buy a headphone amplifier tonight, under lets say $100. Doesn't need to be portable.   1   2   3   Go!       Thanks in advance    

Hello,   Been a long while since I've been on here. Very informative forum btw.   I just got Monster Beat Solos as a "gift" and within 2 minutes an audio guy and I now consider them garbage. Worse than I even anticipated. I'm going to sell them cheap and would like to get some other...

Send the money through Paypal as a gift.. The company will get your money with no transaction fees.   Sending money as a gift is the only thing I like about paypal.

Quote: That looks interesting, just skimmed their site. But in the reviews for it, there are plenty of people wishing it had more output/headroom, and others saying the audible distortion at higher listening volumes. So we should look for something more powerful.

Hello Head-fi,   I believe an amplifier would be a large benefit for me. I use monster turbine iems and Senn Hd595s. Usb connectivity to my laptop would be great. Headphones are used for my ipod, tablet and laptop. No cd player or audiophile equipment if that matters. My budget is $100...

and also, are headphone amps very important to use to get optimum playback from the Ms-1i's? if so what are some cheap portable headphone amps that are well suited?

hey guys, i still need to buy some headphones. I dont want the grados, I would like there to be minimal sound leakage. I'm a basshead and am addicted to car audio, my daily driver does 152 db, so my ears are tolerant and demand bass. lol any recommendations for some headphones with serious...

i own my own car audio company, we do amps and deadening mat. if you guys want lil bits of highest mass butyl mat, feel free to pm me.

Don't be a bitch and get the Sr225's. oh wait, i am clueless when i comes to headphones. lulzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I promise to uphold my responsibility of proper grammar while conversing on the forum, in order to obtain and deserve respect from forum members. I love all of you already. Now, lastly before buying those SR80i's are there any more contenders? The sound leakage attribute is kind of steering...

lulzzzzz wuts the real world difference in sound generally between open air and closed headphones??
