Samsung bought Harman. What a shame. https://www.harman.com/samsung

Hi all, I am looking for a wired IEM with the following specifications: Compatible with Android devices. Replaceable cable. Price around 250 Euros/$. Punchy bass and lively sound. Good build quality. Any recommendations? Examples considering: Pioneer SE-CH9T Panasonic RP-HDE10E...

I am looking for a portable headphone amplifier and DAC device which is compatible with Android devices. I already have the Fiio E18 but I would like suggestions for a device with similar features but capable of producing higher quality audio. Please,keep in mind that I am in Europe and I can...

Following the advice of my fellow Head-Fiers, I bought the Etymotic ER-4P canalphones, mainly for my iPod, for listening to classical music and I am very happy with this choice! Those who advised me to go for these canalphones instead of some other model (almost all of them) were right: these...

I found a UK-based web site which just added the Grado SR-325i to the list of products for sale: http://www.stoneaudio.co.uk/stoneaud...duct=7&range=7 The price is £279, which is twice the US price of course...

I am looking for a set of canalphones for portable/office use (iPod/PC) and I am between the Shure E5c and the Etymotic ER-4P/S. The music I listen is mostly classical, not so much orchestral but mainly single instrument pieces (violin, piano). Which of the two (or other) canalphones would you...

Has anyone tried the beyerdynamic DTX40 in-ear headphones? How do they compare to the popular EX71s?

I've been reading various comments to the effect that the DT990 has more bass but equal detail and overall quality compared to the DT880 which sounds more like the HD600. Personally, I find the DT880 sound similar to the HD6x0 headphones but with a brighter and less laid back sound. For those...

What is the difference between the DT990 and the DT990 PRO? The non-PRO version is much cheaper than the PRO version and I am wondering why is that. The beyerdynamic web site says has the same specs for both but it says that the PRO version is "equalized to meet diffuse field EQ requirements"...

After becoming a beyerdynamic fan because of my satisfaction with the DT800 I bought a few days ago, I decided to buy the DT770M as a closed set of headphones for those times that I don't want to bother others with my music. What an amazingly unique sound these headphones have with the...

My first ever beyerdynamic headphones arrived today, the DT880s, and although it is still early, I have to say that just out of the box I am extremely surprised by the quality of the sound they produce. Coupled to my Creek Audio headphone amplifier, they are simply superb! In comparison to my...

Let's ignore for a moment technical quality issues and reveal to our fellow Head-Fi members which set of headphones produce the most enjoyable sound which suits our ears and taste! Let's forget about what critics, experts or most people say and confess our secret love for a particular set of...

Which headphone manufacturer do you consider to be the most "prestigious brand", as far as headphones is concerned, based on reputation, history, technical innovations, name recognition (mainly for audiophiles), sound and build quality etc ? Note: This is not supposed to be a popularity poll...

Has anyone tried Beyerdynamic buds like the DTX10, DTX20, DTX40? How do they compare to the Sennheiser MX550 and various Sony models e.g. EX71?

If you were to choose between the Beyerdynamic DT880 and DT860 which one would you prefer and why?

Most people characterise Grado headphones as ideal for rock music. Well, maybe this is true but I would prefer to say that Grados excel in Opera, a hobby of Joe Grado himself! It seems to me that they are perfectly tuned to reproduce every aspect of an operatic performance i.e. the human voices...

There is hardware and software capable of creating virtual surround sound (e.g. Dolby Headphone) for headphones using of a 5.1 digital source. Which headphones do you think are ideal for this application, in the sense that they can create a better impression of sound coming from various virtual...

I never owned headphones from Beyerdynamic and I would like to know how people rate them and compare them to other popular brands like Sennheiser, AKG etc. I am not talking about a specific model but I would be interested to read some general comments regarding their sound signature, quality and...

There has been some discussion regarding the replacement of the steel cable of the Sennheiser HD25 with a higher quality copper OFC one. I came up with a simple solution for replacing this cable with some other Sennheiser OFC cable. The main problem is the fact that the original steel cable has...

I am thinking of buying the Sennheiser HD25 for use with my iPod, as a good closed set of headphones to be used either at home, work or on the road. Can the iPod drive this headphone on its own without any amplifier? How about the sound quality and noise isolation? Any other suggestions?

I recently bought the new AKG K26P foldable headphones for my iPod and I am very impressed with their sound. Finally, I can hear some bass from the iPod, without loosing detail of higher frequencies! These headphones are very lively with deep bass and a lot of detail. Perfect as an upgrade for...
