I had the M50x's for a while, and thought they had way too much bass. I had the V6/7506's for a while, both of them, and I didn't feel either of them had enough low end. Way too bright sounding. This isn't a common model, but I have a pair of Onkyo H500M's, that are almost there, but the low...

For open's, I know exactly what I like.  You'll have to pry my Grado RS2i's from my dead cold hands.    (With comfies, otherwise, I think they're too bright.)   But now I have a new job, that open office thing, so I need closed headphones.  For kicks, I tried a pair of ZX-600's, and I was...

You get old, and your tastes change.   Mine do anyway.     I had K701's a few years ago.  Didn't like them much at all.  Just not enough low end.  (Yes, I had enough power to drive them properly.)   Sold them.  Got the Q701's.  Burned them in for about 20 hrs of 30% louder music...

I want to use my next tube amp with a bunch of Grados, so low impedance 32 ohm headphones.   I have a MAD Ear+ HD that I'm not too fond of, believe it or not (yes, I've tried different tubes; just too dark for me).  I also have a Valhalla that I really like.  (So it would be a shootout...

Need it to fit on top of a desktop PC under my desk.   Doesn't seem to be too many of these out there.   ??   Thanks !!  

New problem today.  I'm using IE7 (work PC).  My messages page loads OK, but then when I try to reply to a message I've already gotten, it says "Done, but with errors on the page" down in the status bar.  The message is still in the Reply box, and hasn't been sent.  I've tried doing this in a...

I'm probably going to get one of these shortly.   There's Amazon, Audio Advisor, etc.   Anyone have a really good experience anywhere?  Any place to get one discounted at all?   Thanks !!  

I was going to do the Magnum lite mod with a pair of SR125i's I have, but Rhydon jacked up the price from $250 to $300 (even though that increase wasn't advertised anywhere up until when I asked to have mine done), and that was too much IMO, and he wouldn't honor the $250 price.  Fine: got a...

I've had these for a while, and have just recently started to listen to them (and burn them in).   Count me as impressed.  I think they do have a little too much bass, but not nearly as much as I feared.  And the bass isn't bloated, woolly, or overripe.  Still has impact and slam.   But...

I've been trying the yellow Sennheiser pads with my HF2's (no qtr mod, just stock).  With bowls, I think the HF2's are a hair too bright, so I'd EQ them, and bowls don't work with my ears for comfort anyway.  Comfies are the most comfortable, but the bass is increased so I'd have to EQ there...

 Here are the details:  

The lower end models have the plastic outer shell and plastic for the inner shell too.   The 325 and ms2 have metal outer shell and plastic inner shell.  Magnum mod changes that to an Al inner shell.   The HF2 has metal outer shell and wood inner shell.   What do the RS1 and RS2...

I am still early in my learning curve on tube amps, but maybe something just sunk in.   There are 100% tube amps like the Darkvoice 336:   http://www.head-direct.com/product_detail.php?p=55#   And then there are hybrids like this one:  ...

 Any one know where to get these?  Lot's on eBay, but I can't ever tell if they are threaded on the inside.   1/8" from the headphone jack to the amp at 1/4".  Like this one, but the left female end has to be threaded:  ...

I have done some searching on this recently, but maybe it's just easier to ask.  :-)   Any you like?  And any you don't like?    If you feel strongly about something > $300, please post too in that I have no problem going used either.   Thanks !!

OK, I am not saying that I don't like them.    But man, after having owned the SR80i, SR125i, SR225i, the SR325is, and having settled on the MS2i's, the HF2's are really a completely different animal IMO.   For all of the 80, 125, 225, and MS2i, I use -3 dB at 8kHz.  No EQ for bass at...

 I'm really new at this.  I have the Headroom Total Bithead and the Aune mini USB/DAC/amp.   So I basically can plug and play and not worry about anything with both of those.   But how can I be sure I'm getting bit-accurate audio when right now I'm probably not?   Is there a FAQ on...

Hi there everyone!    I'm still a relative newbie here, although I am slowly understanding what I like in terms of headphones, and what I don't like.   I am not a basshead.   With a little searching, I think I should stay away from the 780's, but the 750's might be something to try along...

OK, I am at a loss.  :-)  I am still pretty new here.  I started up the Grado ladder, auditioning the SR60i and SR80i at a dealer.  Bought the 80's.  Had them for a week and loved them, moved up to the SR125i's.  Had those for a year.  Love them.  Moved up to the SR225i's a few weeks ago.  Love...

Still waaaay new here.    I am pretty familiar with what changed with the Grados, but less familiar with the Alessandros.   Would I be correct in assuming that the MS2 to the MS2i changes are the same as from the 325 => 325i?   But then the 325i changed to the 325is.  Were than any...

OK, a little play on the other thread, but in all seriousness, I'm curious about the differences between these 2.   I have the SR80i's and the SR125i's, and I had the MS-1i's.  Didn't like the Alessandros at all.  Sounded like SR60i's to me.  Very similar to the 80's, but with no bass.  ...

I specifically picked $120 because I'm looking at the Musiland Monitor 02.  :-)   Any other suggestions?  If this is a common question and if there have been any other threads, feel free to post a link.  I'm really out of my element looking at headphone DACs/amps.   I have a Total...

Yeah, I know, another "please recommend" thread.    I read the FAQs on Beyers site, and along  with some Googling, and I think I want the DT-880 250 ohm model.   600 ohm might be more neutral, but I don't want to have to need an amp.   Don't think I want closed because open is just...

Just got a pair of the AKG's due to the large number of comments here and elsewhere about their neutrality.    But I can't drive them adequately straight out of a PC.   Impedance is 600 ohms, sensitivity is 88 dB.   My understanding is that the higher the impedance, with a constant...

Newbie here. I have PX-100's, but I'm looking for a complementary set. Looking at the Sony V6's, Senn 238's, and the Grado SR60i's primarily. Thanks.
