I have yet to get a good amp for my Q701's but currently use a Bravo 12AU7 amp I got from eBay. Have not heard how they sound on a more powerful amp but to be honest I'm happy how they sound from this one.

Listening to mine now, love them! Great for listening to while the kids are playing outside. Can still hear the music but doesn't block the kids out.

Can't talk the mrs into going, probably just hop on the bike and have a nice day away than.

Subscribing...   Would be really interested to try my Q701's on a decent amp, never had the opportunity yet. Now lets see if I can talk the wife in going to a headphone meet up. 

I just picked up the TBSE today new for $60 at a local store.    First thought straight out of my iPhone I was not too impressed. Mind you I normally use my Q701's but needed a closed HP for privacy reasons.   I have now been listening to them for a couple hours now, using a Bravo 12AU7...

Just received the phones, listened to 'em for 5 minutes... Kramer and quarter mod done minutes after, now just waiting on the pads. :D

Just ordered some PortaPro's and PX200 pads, anxiously awaiting the arrival.

Posted in wrong thread, sorry.

I have been in love with my Q701's since day one. Currently only have about 150 hours on them but seem to get better and better.   I had originally picked up a Bravo (eBay) tube amp but seemed that it was lacking (don't surprise me). So recently picked up some studio monitors and decided to...

Quote: Thanks, XB500's.   She's always taking my phone and headphone to listen to music so for Christmas I got her an MP3 player, Senn's, Fiio E5 and some kids music. Might have went a little overboard but better to teach 'em young right?    

Don't remember if I ever posted this but here is one of my daughters jamming...  

When I get bored at night I do self portraits to pass the time. lol  

Just recently (couple months ago) got my first set of cans, XB-500's. Was pleased with them with some EQ adjustments on certain types of music but wanted more clarity. After a lot of reading I decided to order the Q701's, yes I like the green ones do those are the ones I got. I didnt think they...

I was at work the other day and some kids came in asking where the Beats headphones were, told them we didn't carry them (Wal-Mart). I did try and give them some advice about better headphones at a cheaper price... they said "there is nothing better than Beats!" I just smiled and walked off. 

Self portrait from tonight...  

Quote: I'm new to the HP world but the XB-500's do not lack in the bass department in my view. Paired with a Fiio E5 and your phone/mp3 player you're golden. They are very easy to drive and given the price tag (which is a bargain) I think they are a great headphone depending on the...

I've been thinking of buying these and this thread had driven me to it, need an easily pushable pair of phones on the go! Thanks yawl!

I'm far from a hi-fi station but here is my setup so far.  

I have to admit but I recently went to an apple store, listened to the Beats Studio and was shocked how "great" they sounded!   Went home and done some research and being on a budget ordered some Sony XB-500's. Love them even thought the mids and highs are lacking but it all depends on what...
