Hi   Bought T5P a year ago. And I like them but the thing is - cable sucks! And I'm not talking about SQ. It just breaks after 2 months of usage. And after sending headphones back 2 times already and seeing the cable break again I decided to not bother anymore and stick to my HD25s and Allan &...

Hi   So I bought Beyerdynamic T5P after wearing HD25 for a year because i wanted something with bigger soundstage. That and I guess I wanted to clear my cash account a bit :)   As much as I love the looks and the sound of them I had worries about their cable choice as it looked pretty...

Ah, it's been a while :) Maybe someone can help me out with this: I'm concidering buying one of my colleagues at work a new pair of headphones for birthday but I realised that I'm not ready to spend for them as much as I would usually spend for headphones :) And I don't really know any good...

  Just finished watching some stuff from UFC in Rio. There is something about Brasil that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Really nice people over there (mostly). Hope to visit some day :) that is all.

  I've been toying with the idea of getting a pair of headphones for may playstation 3 that... well I live in a block apartment so a good 5.1 sound system is not really an option so I'm thinking about headphones that try to mimick that.    Did a few searches and it seems that 90% or...

I've always ignored metal mainly because I felt that it's just a bunch of guys with long and pretty hair who try to outbest each other by playing guitar solos with most notes per second. That said, I just watched a youtube video about balanced cables that had a nice metal intro and realized I...

Hi    I know there is a way to subscribe to forum but it only sends me a mail notification when someone has replied to a certain trhead and not when it is created. This way I have to wait 'till someone replies to a thread 'till I know it is created.   Is this a bug or is it supposed to...

Just as I sat and waited for my AKG 701 to arrive I noticed that a bunch of people are trying to sell and/or trade 701s. For example there were like 3 ppl wanting to trade 701 for 650 and not one who said he'd like to trade his 650 for 701. And that is just one example.   Is this just me...

  I wanted to make this thread for a long time (at least for 3 days now). And I couldn't find similar one so here we go:   Different brands have different sounds (everyone who has Grados will know). So my question is this: Which headphones represent the best qualities of each brand (or...

  After reading most of posts I realise that the way I described the issue did not get accross the point I wanted to make well enough. I'm sorry.   The thing that I'm curious about is: are there other headphones out there that people prefer or use as back ups for their sennheiser HD-25 and...

I found this story (read "it was sent to me from some RSS feed") or rather an interview about how mp3 was created. It's more about the IT side of things than music but if someone is interested:   ...

  If you don't feel like reading just scroll down to the last paragraph for the short question.     I was just litenting to 'Staring at the sun' by The Offspring when I realised that it's like 15 years old tune. I must be getting old!!!    Anyway, I started to think about the time...

Hi    Just wanted to get an opinion on this. Since all my other headphones seem to have small to nonexistent soundstage Im want to buy a pair that has good one. But I also dont want to spend a fortune in case I find the whole big soundstage thing overrated (IMO ofcourse). Right now I could...

  Hi   I need an opinion from someone who has used their closed headphones for at least a year or so.   Thing is about a month ago I bought XD-53. They seemed pretty sturdy to me but now after a month of using them I just noticed that when they are not folded they kind of seem flimsy...

  Can someone explain me why so many (NOT ALL) headphones on Amazon.co.uk cost almost twice as much compared to Amazon.com?   I live in EU so if I buy stuff from Amazon.com shipping usually costs more than the product itself :) But then again on Amazon.co.uk prices are insane.   But...

  Although I do prefer closed cans to in ear headphones there are situations where in ears are an obvious choice (like running). The problem that I have with them is that I really hate the usual platic cord that they all have. I know it gets the job done but I always wanted to get a pair with...

  Finally my PA2V2 arrived! Well I say finally. It did arrive on time so thanks Airmail.   Anyway I was browsing through my 320 kbps mp3 collection and I realised that as much as I love my albums from SoCal punk bands like The Offspring and Pennywise they are not that great when It comes...

  Finally bought my first (and second) pair of "real" headphones. XD-53!    As I was walking towards the store I was still concidering buyin Pioneer HDJ-2000, just cuz they appear to be the most durable headphones ever. That was really important to me since I did not want to buy expensive...

Alll headphones has this value attached to them. For example Pioneer HDJ-2000 has  3500mW.   I know that if this property is high the headphones can produce louder sound.    But what I was wondering about is - does this value represents the optimum input mW for headphones or is it the...

I have been doing a research on mid to high end headphones for a few weeks now. So this could be obvious but I wanted to get this straight:   Whenever I mention Pioneer HDJ-2000 people say that yeah they are great headphones but they are overpriced because of all the fancy materials that...

I found a few thread with this topic on here. And most people as you would except say that you should not use your headphones in bad (=wet) weather. I agree that water and electronics are not the best combination. That said, obviously you shouldnt go swimming or snowboarding with your high...

Hi In case you missed the other post Im currently looking for a new pair of headphones for personal use and I won't mind if they are a bit on the expensive side. And It appears to me that if you want good headphones that you can also use on bus DJ headphones are the way to go. Unles you want...

Hi So after my last $60 dolar headphones broke a few feeks ago after 2 months of use I started looking for something a bit more sturdy. So I started looking at closed headphones (just my preference) that are in $200-$350 price range. I decided to buy them in my local shop that allows...
