As the title states, I'm looking to see if anyone knows of a closed, circumaural headphone with the tonality of the ESW9.  I picked one up on a whim and have found its signature quite enjoyable, (especially with poor recordings or lossy files) but being supra-aural they have a limited soundstage...

EDIT: Click here for an excellent pad mod from dxanex! Let's please keep this thread on point, fellas.    To my ears, the AKG K550 is a headphone with a great deal of potential.  It's fast, detailed, uncolored, spacious, fairly neutral, and free of excess grain.  Conversely to my and others'...

I'm currently in the process of paring down my headphone rig.  I've spent thousands, but after closing in on my ideal sound I found that it just didn't accomplish my listening goals in a way that I consider superior to previous experiences with "lesser" equipment.  My profile/needs:     -I...

  I know, I know.  Another (subjectively) ugly, oddly-named piece of audio equipment from Firestone Audio.  Still, color me intrigued, but there's currently a dearth of information available about a DAC that could possibly find a place alongside the "bang for the buck" elite. (depending on...

I'm loving my Ultrasone Edition 8, but its really tearing through my equipment chain and screaming for upgrades.  While I'm currently extremely happy with what I'm hearing in terms of dynamics, texture, punch and overall clarity, my biggest gripe is the size of the soundstage.  These perform...

I posted an ad in the FS forum but figured I'd try here as well.   As the title states, I'm looking for a cable (about 6 or so feet long) that terminates on one side with a 3.5mm mini plug and on the other side with a 1/4" plug.  I'd like something that's of decent quality, but am willing to...

PREFACE   This is largely intended to be a review of the AiAiAi TMA-1 with using the Audio Technica ATH-M50 as a point of reference.   A forum member asked for this comparison in the main TMA-1 thread.  I ordered the TMA-1 as a possible replacement for my M50 as my "banger 'phone" (i.e...

Well, I finally found my Headphile Terminator (modded DT770) but I will need to purchase leather pads as it will be coming with velours.  After scouring the forums I know what I don't want:   -The aviation pads readily available through Beyer's Manufaktur site -J Money pads -Pleather...

I know there's a ton of recommendation threads so I apologize for starting yet another.   All budgets aside, I'm looking for a fun headphone.  I acquired a set of V3 Darth Beyers recently and really do love the bass.  They really shine with some electronic music and even some...

I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't interested in the Duet's potential as a recording interface, (would allow me to break free of some Digitech gear) but I'd like to know which would be recommended based solely on DAC/pre-amp performance with headphones.  The increased portability of the...
