    Emotiva Pro airmotiv4 Loudspeakers Review

        Behringer has a product that is also very similar near the same price point, also ranked highly on head-fi's Head gear pages.   Sanyo was making and shipping ribbon tweeter speakers 30 years ago if memory serves me correctly.   It would be nice if someone could do a shootout with...

    Review by 'Bubo' on item 'AKG K 702 Headphones'

      Great reference-quality open-back-headphones, big sound stage, accurate reproduction, detailed.   If you have a great recording, you will hear detail you may not have heard before. My digitally recorded version of 4 Seasons, done in  a good sound room, it excellent, you are there.  ...

    Review by 'Bubo' on item 'Audio Technica ATH-AD700'

    Great pair of open cans at any price, comfortable to wear all day long. You can hear the ambient noise which has pros and cons. I wear these when I want to be able to hear what my kids are up to in the rest of the house or the door bell etc. If you are near the vacuum cleaner or dishwasher, you...

    Review by 'Bubo' on item 'Audio Technica ATH-A700 Headphones'

    If you want to listen at low volumes, in the same room with other people, or in privacy this is a great option. The isolation from the ambient noise is excellent allowing you to save your ears with low volume. There is no heat problem and they are comfortable to wear for hours.   I love my...

    V-MODA Crossfade M-80 Reviews

        Just noticed a few skids full of the over the ear X-fade headphones at Costco today.   If you have been waiting for the right moment, this is it while they have them

    Schiit Lyr Shipping! Impressions?

    Could be a shielding problem with the cable, the DAC or the amp. The metal cases on the DAC and AMP should provide adequate shielding if the units are properly grounded. It's possible that the USB cable is transmitting to the cables connecting the DAC and AMP or even to your headphone cables. I...

    Schiit Lyr Shipping! Impressions?

      Does the unit have a switching power supply?   If yes, get use to the buzzing, switchers are generally lighter and less expensive but the noise is a problem.   We actually added noise limits on switchers and fans we used for industrial telecommunications equipment because the noise...

    TESTING AND EVALUATION   I would like to thank everyone for their posts, I will continue to read through them in an effort to educate myself.   In the way of comparisons and testing, I found this quote on Headamp's web site. We use to do this with amps and speakers.       Dark...

    Mini-review: Schiit Lyr

        Certainly a technical analysis using lab instruments would yield interesting results for all units tested.   Baring a series of lab tests, it seems to me that the best test would have to a blind test where the listener was listening to   high quality new music, same source, same...

    This is my understanding too, clean reserve power gives your system punch to handle fast rises and falls in the in the volume without clipping and distortion.  Quote:

    Damn you orthodynamics (LCD2 & HE-6)

      I'm running in the mid 50s these days, but have tried to be nice to my ears even though I have enough equipment to blow the house off the foundations.   The problem I ran into with the AKG 702's and AT open cans is that you can hear everything going on around you, like the dishwasher...

    Possible fake Ultrasone Proline 900, AKG K702, Monster beats *** they're fake!!**

    Inspection: Very tight fit packing job. Scent free ink packaging and manual. Licked my finger and rubbed the ink on the box and manual, both were printed not sprayed on with an ink jet. Workmanship looks good on the product. Good quality leather head band and workmanship. Audio...

    Possible fake Ultrasone Proline 900, AKG K702, Monster beats *** they're fake!!**

    The best cure for fakes is if the manufacturers create on-line date bases where you can enter your serial number and date of manufacture from the unit or package in addition to where you purchased them. Then the manufacturers need to follow up with law suits and jail time for the...

    Orthodynamic Roundup

    EricJ, The right side headphone ball joint is the one that is broken, L & R appear to be the same to me. Any suggestion on how to disconnect the press fit from the sling? Just push the pin out, is it that easy? Once I get it torn apart, I might as well rebuild the padding and look at...

    Orthodynamic Roundup

    First let me thank everyone for the suggestions on fixing my head-strap. As suggested my local shoe repair guy was intrigued when I contacted him, a few days later the custom leather he order arrived and he replicated the head-strap for me in black, a little slippery but in some way better...

    Possible fake Ultrasone Proline 900, AKG K702, Monster beats *** they're fake!!**

    I know a buyer for a major retailer in the US who lives near HK, he buys lots of electronics and other stuff. The Chinese even do knock off cars where they steal the designs from the competition and beat them into production with a look alike. The knock off products in China are to be...

    Koss MV1 v. Audio Technica ATH-M50 v. AKG-K81-DJ

    Amazon has a very thorough review of the MV1 by a customer that was quite positive. Based on the sub $100 price out the door, the risk is minimal. 4 of 5 stars by Ty I suggest you read his very thoughtful and full review at Amazon. "A pleasantly voiced closed back can for those...
