    Best closed headphones for office use? (long list!)

    The isololation feels pretty decent. They may leak some sound if you play at loud volumes. The Momentum might be a tad better in this area, but I haven't done any extensive testing on this.

    PRESS RELEASE: Bang & Olufsen announces BeoPlay H3 and H6 headphones

    I've been looking into this, and it might be that (his) desktop amps do not support the 4-pin (TRRS) connector that headphone cables with a mic use. The desktop amps may need a 3-pin (TRS) connector. That would be my guess, after reading up on this.

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    I've been searching for this, but couldn't find the definitive answer: Does the output jack of the E17 support 4-pin (TRRS) headphone cables (cables with a mic), or do you need a 3-pin (TRS) cable?

    Best closed headphones for office use? (long list!)

    I did a quick A/B test between the Momentum and the H6 in a store yesterday, and I actually preferred the sound of the H6 over the Momentum. The H6 sounds more open, and the bass is more natural and fuller. Comfortwise the H6 is much better than the Momentum (on my head). The ear pads are just...

    PRESS RELEASE: Bang & Olufsen announces BeoPlay H3 and H6 headphones

    In a review at Headphonia, the author says about the H6 that "the cable has a mic control, making it impossible to use with all of my desktop amps at home". What does he mean by that? What problems does the mic cause? Would I need to get another cable in order to use the H6 with my FiiO E17?

    My search has come to an end. The B&O H6 has all the qualities I was looking for. Bought them today. I think the sound is terrific. Can't believe that anyone find them lacking in the bass. Thanks for all suggestions!

    Best closed headphones for office use? (long list!)

    So, I've been searching for the perfect headphone for quite a while now, but still haven't found it. I haven't even found a headphone where I feel the compromises are OK. I need a pair of cans that isolate good, look good and sound good, and are comfortable to wear. All the phones I have tried...

    Focal Spirit Classic First Look - Head-Fi TV

    Too bad, they look so nice! Guess I'm waiting for a demo or review of the Sony MDR-1RMK2 then.

    Fiio Andes (E07K) VS. Fiio E17: What's the difference, and how does it sway the amateur audiophile?

    Well, I just bought the E17 as well, so that I can compare them myself. The E17 has no hiss at all, so it's better than the E07K in that respect. But sound quality wise, it's really hard to tell any difference. I'm gonna do some more listening tests in the days to follow.

    Fiio Andes (E07K) VS. Fiio E17: What's the difference, and how does it sway the amateur audiophile?

    Hi! I just got the E07K. I've tested it with a USB signal from my computer, and Klipsch x10i IEM's. There is a small amount of hiss from the device. It's barely noticeable, but definitely there. I also find the sound a bit warm and veiled.   How does this compare to the E17? Will the hiss and...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

    I find the earpads and clamping force on the P7s to be quite good. The problem for me is the rather small and firm headband, which distributes the weight of the headphones over a small area. I much prefer the headband of the Momentums. Unfortunately, the earpads of the Momentums are too small...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

    I've had the P7's for a few days. The sound quality is excellent, but comfort wise these are not a perfect match for me. I find the headband too firm and thin, so I'm probably going to return these.

    Best closed headphones for office use? (long list!)

    Well, I bought the B&W P7, and have had them for a week. Conclusion: Great sound and isolation, but not comfortable enough. The head band is too stiff. So these are probably going back to the store.    That means that I am still looking for other options. Which headphones sound good, isolate...

    Best closed headphones for office use? (long list!)

    Thank you, for the suggestions. Actually, I have an old XTRA X-1 Pro amp, that I plan to hook up to the UCA202. I assume that will be an improvement. Or is the DAC in the UCA202 inferior to FiiO and ELE?

    I'm usually streaming music from Wimp (320 kbps AAC) on my laptop, through a Behringer UCA202.

    Best closed headphones for office use? (long list!)

    Hi guys! I'm looking for a new set of headphones to use at the office. I have made a list of the criteria that are important to me:   Primary criteria 1. Isolation. There should be as little leakage as possible, in order to not disturb my co-workers. 2. Comfort. The headphones should be...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

      How about leakage? Can they be used in quiet environments, without disturbing other people?

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

    How much room does the P7 have for your ears, compared to the Momentum? Is the P7 truly "over ear", or just as narrow as the Momentum?

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    The P7 looks promising!

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

      I have been reading some reviews on them, and they have been mixed, like this one: "The build of the headphones is typically Sony, feels very good, but it is plastic." So not on par with the Momentums, as far as I can tell.

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    This was a bit of a disappointment. The Momentum seemed so perfect on paper: Good looks, quality materials, great sound, isolation and an affordable price tag. But they are so small! I'm 6'3, with medium ears, and they can barely fit inside the cups.   So what other headphones should I be...

    Uneven soundstage in Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro

    I contacted the store today. They told me that they just had another customer who reported the same problem. So it seems to be a production problem then. I'm probably going to return them. I have just ordered a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50 to compare them with.   Which other headphones...
