    Closed cans with superior isolation

    I love my Beyerdynamic DT-250 80ohm but unfortunately, the vacuums/carpet cleaners around my desk (overnight) are driving me nuts. I used to own a pair of Sennheiser HD 280s and actually liked the sound signature (I know they're pretty polarizing) as well as the outstanding isolation. Can...

    Has anyone heard the Senn HD-25-13-II 600ohm?

    With all of the talk about the differences between Beyerdynamic drivers (600ohm vs 250ohm vs 32ohm), perhaps the 600 ohm version of the HD-25 might sound different than the popular 70ohm model?

    Sony D-NE10/D-NE20 owners...

    I was disappointed to discover that my Sony D-NE10 PMP3CDP cannot play CDRWs burned at 24x. I don't think my writer is the problem (Plextor 52x), but I was wondering if anyone else has been able to play 24x CDRWs on this unit or it's successor (D-NE20)?

    Grado HF-1 First Impressions!

    Delivered to my door about 5 minutes ago!!!!!!!!! They come in the regular Grado box with a 1 year warranty sheet. This is the first time I have heard a Grado so I can't compare it to other models. Cable seems to be 6' and nice and thick. Comfort is pretty good straight out of the box...

    Beyerdynamic DT 250 = comfort

    I have found the perfect set of closed cans to wear for 8 hours a day at work: Beyer DT 250s (I have the 80 ohm version). Form: What can I say, I have a strong preference for velour earpads. The headband is nicely padded and the connecter that hangs from the left earcup isn't an issue for me...

    The new Sony SA-X000 series

    I've been searching around and can't seem to find any efficiency or impedence specs for the new Sony SA-1000/3000/5000 headphones (not even on Sony's Japanese website). Can anyone on here that owns a pair of these provide this info? Thanks!

    Sennheiser HD 650 First Impressions

    I opened the box and inhaled deeply...AHHH that new headphone smell!!! (I need help.) Build Quality: They seem to be quite durable. The headband adjustment was very difficult to move at first. I've heard people complain about the amount of clamping force they apply to your head. I have a...

    The joy of silver

    A week ago I decided to purchase some additional interconnects since I've added an EMU 1212M & Gilmore Lite (SOON!) to my setup. I ordered a pair of Headphile EMU CPU Series and ended up sending them back because I thought they were too short (compared them to an IC that I thought was shorter...

    Balanced Interconnect recommandations

    I was wondering if you guys could give me some recommandations of quality Balanced TRS-TRS interconnect cables. I would be using them for recording from my Mixer/Synth -> EMU 1212M. Right now I am considering Mogami and cable from Markertek. Thanks for any suggestions...

    Balanced vs. Unbalanced

    I have an EMU 1212M and Gilmore Lite on the way. If I wanted to connect the balanced OUTs of the EMU to the unbalanced INs on the Gilmore Lite, which cable would be a better option sound quality-wise? A. Balanced Mogami cable with 1/4"->RCA adaptors on the Gilmore Lite end B. Unbalanced...

    Amping headphones with no line-out available

    I'm using an Allen&Heath Xone32 DJ Mixer and would like increased headphone amplification on the CUE channel. However, there is no line-out for the CUE channel (a feature that I think future DJ mixers should have), only a 1/4" headphone jack with a max output of 400mW and I believe the output...

    ATTN BASSHEADS: Ultrasone HFI-550 Beatmaster First Impressions

    Just received these from Meier Audio last week. This is my first time using an Ultrasone model, and after a good 72 hours of burn-in, I'm impressed. I purchased these for DJing electronic music. I went with the Beatmaster instead of the DJ1 model because the DJ1 sounded a lot like the V6s I...

    Beyer pads on Audio-Technica M30, M40fs/D40fs...

    I saw a thread a few months back where someone mentioned putting Beyerdynamic DT250 pads on their ATH-M30...I'm going to try and put them on my D40fs and I wanted to ask this individual a couple ?s (All of these cans look like they have the same earpads in pictures). If you've done this please...

    Portable, isolating cans for <$50???

    I'm having trouble finding a pair of portable-use headphones that isolate well for <$50. Right now I'm using a pair of Senn HD 280 Pros. I'm satisfied with their sound out of my ChromeX, but I'd like to find something a little less bulky. I've considered the following... Audio-Technica...

    Audio Technica ATH-D40fs Studiophones first impressions

    OK, they've been on a FedEx truck for 2 hours now and I'm starting to get a bit ancy. I think this is a relatively new model by Audio Technica? The 40fs series comes in 2 flavours: flat (for studio mixing), and "bass enhanced" (for drummers and DJs). I'm currently using a pair of Sennheiser...

    Beyer DT-250 ear pad upgrade for Sonys

    I've been reading about this procedure for V6s/7506s, does anyone know if they would also fit a pair of V600s (not sure if the cups are a bit larger than the V6/7506)? Thanks... nate
