I have both Takstar Pro 80 and HyperX Cloud at my disposal. They are both built by Takstar and I presume they use the same drivers (it just makes sense from a mass production perspective :-) but have different sound signatures. The Cloud's sound signature is slightly more bassy with recessed...

Both Beats and Prada are tapping into a fashion/egoistic uninformed audio fan market that is probably bigger than the audiophile market out there. It's a sad truth. I've read somewhere that Beats is like the 3rd best selling headphone brand in US behind Sony and Bose, while SkullCandy isn't too...

lol, I didn't think of it that way, but it sounds like it now.

Great stuff there Jude! thanks for the nice review of CanJam for those who weren't able to go (like me). Part 1 was awesome, when will part 2 be posted? it's been almost 2 weeks! can't wait...

that's my question though, are people really going to buy those at $600? maybe when they compare them to the other prada items in the store they'll go "ahh, what an inexpensive headphone!" 

I know a Phiaton insider and indeed it's a Phiaton remake with the same PS320 driver with some altercations to the headband and some headpieces. I hope Phiaton doesn't cringe when they only receive a few orders per month from Prada.....who's gonna buy these?   Though I have to say that...

They should make a BRASS colored version and it would be perfect for someone to use with a Saxophone....

I've been playing with the LDMK3 and my Senn HD-600s and the gain settings. The funny thing is that each time I've changed the gain settings, the loudness stays pretty much the same. Meaning that I didn't need to adjust the pot settings after I've changed the gain. Usually that shouldn't be the...

exactomento...that's what I did, as if you are really into high quality audio, you don't want all the stuff in your phone messing with the audio especially the wireless signals messing with my PA2V2 portable amp.

The tissue mod will affect the SQ though. You have to put just enough in so that it adds distance from your ears and driver but not too much that it makes the sound a bit hollow.

No one talked about it so I don't know if people noticed that the two top head-rests on the Superlux 668B can actually be adjusted by pulling it out or pushing it in?    Maybe I'm naive to think I'm the first one to notice this, but for those who didn't know about it, give it a try...it has...

reviving the discussion on those HD228s. ha. I just "astroid" modded mine and found it a little overly bright, so I've added some loose cotton in place of the original black felt and voila, great balance of treble/soundstage and improved sound!    Give it a try and let me know what you think.

bump! any advice would help, thanks!

I have both the Beats and  the Senn HD448. The Senn HD448 comes from the same family and same driver design as the HD438 / 428. They  only differ in the flavor of the sound. The HD428s are more neutral, the 438s are more BASS heavy, and the 448s are more for stage sound and vocals. But I did...

Hi All,   I currently own a Little Dot MK3 + Fubar IV SS DAC/Amp set-up. The way I set them up is that my Fubar is used as a DAC using Coaxial directly from my computer sound-card. Then my LD MK3 tube amp is at the end of the chain to power my headphones.  Recently though, I have heard...

I wasn't there but it looked like a lot of fun! I did notice that in the last picture everyone is wearing a headphone with a yellow cup color on it. What headphones are those?

I have quite a few of Phiaton's products and they are really great! Audio quality and build quality. If I'm spending money on Monster Studio headphones, I'd rather spend them on Phiatons. Looks better, sounds better...no question about it.

ok, I saw that too, just wondering if there were other ones that you would recommend. Thanks for the reminder!

thanks everyone for your quick feedback! Just as fast as Gary's responses! ha.  So any recommendation on what brand of batteries? Or a good 1.2V 2000 mAH NiMH will do the job regardless of brand?

Okay guys, I'm a fairly young and inexperienced hi-fi'er but I do spend a good amount of time on forums reading articles. Gary's PA2v2 came to my knowledge and I was looking for an upgrade to my portable FiiO E5 + Cowon iAudio 9 setup. The first thing I planned to do was to upgrade the budget E5...

Why twitter? how about facebook? that's more global. :)

agreed with Max, I was just about to say that I use my RE0s with FiiO E5s and the bass boost not only brings out more bass volume but it seems to make that whole sound signature a lot warmer and less analytical (a good thing) with mid/high details still very present and sweet. It's a great...

i went to my local shop to replace my Beyers with the AKG 240 velour pads. They work great now and the bass has more body to it now! the sound is perfect! Though I still have a problem of ear cartilage hurting after about 1 hr of wearing. It's probably because the earpads are shallow and that my...

I have bought a pair of Beyer DT990 earpads and fit them onto my Superlux 668B. It fits okay BUT the original tight bass sound totally DISAPPEARS! Now I have a light bass sounding pair of headphones with the imaging pulled a little bit closer. All the sweet balanced sound just disappeared...
