    Sennheiser HE60 / HEV70

    I know it's 2017 but I just won an auction for a HE60/HEV70 combo last week. After having owned the HD600 and HD580 jubilee (goddamn why did I ever sell those?!) I am familiar with the formfactor of the HE60. I even think one can swap the headpiece and earpads? I am discovering a new level of...

    Are these ES3's or ES3X?

    I finally got my "ES3X"'s yesterday but they don't strike me as improved ES2's at all atm. I did a side by side comparison between the ES2's and the new iem's and the ES2's goes lower and higher at the same volume lvl. The new IEM's do shine with voices but in whole i think I'm missing both...

    2 modded k340's (56k warning)

    I've been using the K340 as my main headphone for about a year now. I liked it so much that I have let Larry mod my phones. When they came back i knew these were going to be the phones i'd listed to for a long time before the upgrade virus comes along. Well partly true that is I found a pair...

    k340 and the velour pads

    After reading how easy it is to get the velour pads from AKG I thought, well I'll order a set for my beloved modded k340. AKG told me to order one from their resellers in my country (the Netherlands), I got a list with ~ 10 resellers. One of them is located on the other side of my town (a...

    AKG K340 modded and back!

    I send out my K340 to Larry at Headphlie last month and got them back today!. He did his magic and added a 1.5m blackcopper cable on it. The blackcopper should be a tad warmer than the blacksilver cable, but I cannot judge that, maybe Larry can tell us about the details? Since I also own a...

    small K340 mod/tip

    I guess I'm not the first to do this but I didn't find any thread here about is so here goes: Using the pleader pads on the akg k340 I don't get a tight seal so the bass leaks quite a bit. What I did was adding some TP between the pleader and the plasic making the pad a bit fuller (got a...

    tc-7500

    I bought a TC-7500 after reading some of it here at our beloved head-fi. It's a DAC with 4 inputs, 2 coax and 2 optical. The output is spilt in 2 stereo pair RCA's. I use this between my pc (Terratec Phase 22 coax out), CD (yamaha dv-657) and the outputs go to the receiver (yamaha V440) and the...

    cables and the HD580 / Hd6x0

    I have experienced with both the HD580 and the HD600 that the sound cracks when using the cardas cable, if you pull the cable a bit the sound comes back. Both the Hd580 and the Hd600 were bought second/third handed. Is there anything to tweak or do? x-posted at the headphone section

    Complementing DT990

    In the never ending search of great headphones I stumble upon the next question: Owning the Beyer DT990 (2003), which of the next cans would complement it best, with that I mean that I love the sound of the DT990 and I place it above the HD600. Basicly I'm thinking of the DT990 version 2005...

    Ever since I own a pair a DT990 my trusty old HD600 with cardas cable is eating some dust in it's nice case. I was thinking of using the cardas cable in the DT990, is it worth "destroying" the hd6x0 cardas cable?

    aria + es2 = heaven

    After using the porta corda with the ES2's as main source at my work I tested the ES2's at home with my aria. It is the best sounding combination I have heard up till now! They (ES2) give me more pleasure than my Alessandro MS1's or Sennheiser HD600+cardas cable. It seems like that everything...

    Amp with very low resistance IEM

    I'm using my westone ES2's daily with a Headroom Airhead, but because of the very low resistance of the ES2's I can hear a lot of hissing from the airhead. I'm liking the sound of the airhead so I want to keep on using it (or a better amp which can handle this IEM). How can I get rid of the...
