I'm interested in finding out which would be the best as far as mids are concerned, not taking the price into account. I've had the 555s at a point, i like their mids. Does the 448 bring something else to the table? More detailed? Forward?

Background: i already have Beyer DT440s and Philips SHP9000 (the top end philips). I'd really like something with much more forward mids and a very small soundstage, yet fairly good detail reproduction. I listen to just about anything, can't point out a specific genre. This is the only...

Hello I have an Asus Xonar DS, with a JRC5332 opamp for front/headphone output. The headphones I'm using are Philips SHP9000s (32 ohm, but otherwise inefficient and very finicky with amps, a meier corda arietta drives them beautifully, they sound about on par with HD595, but I'm not...

Hello, i have a bit of a problem. I have a paird of Senn HD555s that i use at very reasonable listening levels. The source is an Audigy SE (I know, I know) From about 100hz downwards, i hear a "flutter", something resembling a farting sound. Worse than that, the "flutter" seems to remain...

Could you please help me? I don't know what to buy, obviously .

There's a Bonnie Tyler style song ( I know, I know, it's just that this... i'm obsessed with ) ... the lyrics contain a large amount of "Friday Niight" moaned in a melancholical voice ... Do you have any idea as to who might be the singer and what might be the name of the song?

I want to start a headphone/accessories store in (don't laugh, people here need headphones, too) Romania. The only models one can find locally are some overpriced Sony v300/v500/v600 headphones, but even those have a ~1 month waiting period. I was thinking about buying online and selling here...

A $~hamburger system review System specs (this is downright funny, most people pay more for a volume pot than my entire "system" costs, but for the moment imagine i'm a homeless person : that should sort out most issues ) -Winamp 5.08 - mp3 (128-320kbps, both CBR and VBR) -onboard...

I've heard that the DT660s come with some cheap-looking and feeling cloth instead of the usual Beyer (DT770,880,531-like) velour pads. Can one get velour pads that fit the HD660s? Where? At what price? I haven't been able to find any, but JensL said that 531 pads fit the 440/660/860...

A friend of mine, which once thought headphones are trash, bought a MS1 about 1 month ago. He was bewitched by those, and now, he, who never thought that spending more than $10 on headphones is wise, wants something better. He drives the MS1s mainly through a decent, but very cheap soundcard...

I was planning on getting a Classic... What else can I get, fully built, which offers the same quality, and is around $200, power supply included? I guess it would be powering a HD650 or Alessandro MS2 (quite different beasts, I know).

I know this is something of a stupid question to ask,but... A friend of mine has ordered some MS1s to go with his Sony 20mW portable CD player and his CMI8738-based soundcard, which puts out about 60mW, if I remember correctly. I don't know any other parameters of those sources, only that my...

A friend of mine ordered some MS1s about 1 week ago, paid for them using money wire, but never got a confirmation e-mail. Is that normal?

I saw these weird cans in a movie...sorry, no picture. I'm really upset by the fact that i don't know how to get a screenshot of that damn Windows Media Player overlay . They look like the Beyer DT250-250s, only they are white with pads that seem covered in pleather (difficult to tell with all...

I currently have a set of AKG K55s ($30) driven by the headphone out of some computer speakers, with the source being an awkwardly high SNR onboard They're sweaty, have a huge hole in the mids and are very screechy at all but a very specific volume (they're only very bright then ). Trouble is...

First of all, sorry for my wallet. Damn it, why don't i just get some $30 Sony CD series? I need some closed cans which suit most genres, with emphasis on rock-related genres. Insulation of the outside word from their sound is more important than the other way around. Comfort is really...

I haven't ordered the phones yet, but i've pretty much decided i need some kind of amplifier , as i'm reluctant to running even 32 ohm/high SPL cans out of a soundcard headphone-out, let alone 80 or 250 ohm ones, and my speaker headphone out is full of hum, hiss and the such. I'd be using the...

Well, after my previous "comfortable, closed, good midrange, any type of soundstage" topic, I've decided on getting the Beyerdynamics DT250-250s. I'd like to know as much as possible about them (and yes, I've read almost all previous posts). What cheap amp would do them justice? Would an...

I need some comfortable, closed, nicely isolating cans with a good midrange and good detail (soundstage means 0 to me), up to around $250 without shipping . Comfortable means circumaural, no pleather. I'd be driving them with a cheap dedicated amp (haven't decided which) , as i have no...

I've never heard anything better than some really beaten up SR60s, but still, i want a lot of detail in my music and good attack speed. Smoothed out, blurry sound just doesn't seem right to me.Soundstage is the least of my concerns, and i like impactful, yet not too bassy sound. From what I've...

Which one isolates better? Is there any difference in sound? If so, is the sound quality proportional to the price?

They were 30 USD a year ago, and that's all I could afford. Are they worth the hassle of upgrading sound source/current source to the tune of 100 USD(say a AV710 and a good CMOY)? I'm currently driving them with an onboard CMI9738 (good DAC though... little hiss and nice dynamics) and ...
