Thank you, sir! A very generous gentleman is going to lend me to use for a while. I am quite excited! :)

Hi all, Will the HiFi-M8 work with iPod Nano? Specifically one which was bought last April? Thank you!

Wow.....what a thread! What an amazing OP! Thank you for the reviews! If I may make a small comment - and i'm sure this has been suggested before. The "sound" score of the headphones should be weighted more heavily than the other categories, except maybe build quality.    This would allow for...

Hi. I would appreciate any input. thank you!

I want to get wireless earphones with enough bass to rattle my bones, has a mic, can control my music, and may possibly be synced with another pair so that 2 earphones sets can listen to the same source. Any advice would be appreciated.

As I'm looking into buying my first open-back pair of headphones, I've been doing a lot of reading on this and other sites and I've been struck by some of the prices quoted on threads from 12 to 18 months ago. It seems to me that people were able to buy good "audiophile" grade headphones for a...

Quote: When the T1 comes in at number 5, then you have listened to some expensive cans... ;)   Out of curiosity, why did you sell the R10?  

I forgot to tell you that no matter which NC headphone you choose, make sure that the ear pads surround your ears completely. If you have big ears, this might be a bit tricky. The reason is that otherwise a bit of pressure is produced and listening to the cans for a long time can be a bit...

Quote:   Thank you so much for a well-written and fair review. When I started doing research on this forum, I started to feel confused by my options, but after pressing on, my options have been narrowed down and it looks like I will pull the trigger on the HD598 once I find a really good...

Ok, ok. I won't touch the cable! :D Thanks for stating your opinion clear and simple and it is looking increasingly like the HD-598. There are so many favourable reviews, it's easy to drive and I wouldn't HAVE to get an amp and DAC. Overall it seems like a very good place to start and if I do...

Quote: Hi RudeWolf,   thanks for the feedback. the reviewer mentioned in one of the subsequent posts that changing the stock cable to a copper cable, might give the 600 a warmer sound.   The point about amplification is a very important one. It's not just that the HD600 is about...

Hi there,   I'm contemplating a number of headphones and two of them are the HD598 and the HD600. I read that you feel the HD600 is worth the extra money and one should change the stock cable to a copper cable to get a warmer sound. However, other reviews tend to indicate that the HD598...

Quote: Thanks for the thoughts, captouch.   I'm leaning towards Design 2 myself. It looks quite classy and will maybe just add black pads. I haven't yet completely decided on which cans to get. I currently have the noise-cancelling Audio Technica ATH-ANC7b and want to get a great...

Hi guys,   I'm contemplating the DT880 600 Ohm at the moment and went to their site and toyed around with the Manufaktur tool. Here are some of the variations I think are nice. Don't worry, I won't quit the day job ;)   Design 1:     Design 2:     Design 3:  

Quote: Thanks for the input Armaegis. I was looking at the DT770 and so the Beyerdynamic DT880 seems logical. Would you recommend going for the 600 Ohm version? My concern would be that it would be hard to drive, but if I do get the Furutech, this will not be a problem. Still, it might...

Quote: The ATH-ANC23 is quite comfortable for me and I actually like in-ear buds, but the noise-cancelling on that  model is not great. I'm not familiar with the two models you've listed - Sony MDR-NC60 and the Denon AHNC-800. - my suggestion is to find a store that allows you to...

I think I'll try this again.   I have similar requirements to randomstranger in that I'm looking for a set of cans for enjoying at home for up to USD 400.   I own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-ANC7b noise-cancelling headphones, because I travel a lot. They work GREAT in an aircraft and...

WOW! What a fantastic thread. Bookmarked and eager to read more. Thank you so much for your efforts!

  Quote: I tried to reply and the post got lost, so let's try that again   By overkill, I mean that the ATH-ANC7b could be much more than you actually require and cost more than you need to spend. The Sennheiser CX300 is probably only noise-isolating, not noise-cancelling...

Hi Fedec,   Here are my two cents as an owner of the ATH-ANC7b. They work great in airplanes, but for other everyday environments might be a bit overkill. For your needs, why don't you try some in-ear noise-cancelling buds?   For additional info, I also auditioned the Dr Dre Beats and...

Hi,   I have similar requirements to randomstranger in that I'm looking for a set of cans for up to USD 400.   I own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-ANC7b noise-cancelling headphones, because I travel a lot. They work GREAT in an aircraft and perform much better than what one would assume...
