++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum
Hey guys, I am a normally-headed human being, with slightly bigger ears than usual and glasses. I am looking for very comfortable, inexpensive headphones. I so far ruled down my possibilities to the Sony MDR-V6 Koss PRO DJ-100 Shure Shr440 edit: I have also at hand a pair of JVC...- liuk

Comfortable, inexpensive all-round closed headphones for office use: a request with few alternatives.
Hey guys, I am a normally-headed human being, with slightly bigger ears than usual and glasses. I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD 25-1 ii, super-awesome but really uncomfortable. I travel very often for work and they are amazing in isolating aircraft sounds and noisy people, but sitting...- liuk

Songs that make your headphone WOOOOOW!!!
Аукцыон - хомба from the album Юла From St. Petersburg, this album is absolutely amazing and superbly recorded. Alt-jazz / Avant-gard jazz-rock, not sure how to define them but believe me the album is amazing. You read the band name Auktyon, the title of this song is Homba (H... -
Lossless vs 128kbps mp3 vs 320kbps mp3 blind test
Turns out my guesses where indeed no more than random guesses, and my brain did all the "justification" for me (and many of ours did too, I see). Out of curiosity yesterday I did a second blind test with some of my music with my girlfriend. Only piece I could get right to be...- liuk

Lossless vs 128kbps mp3 vs 320kbps mp3 blind test
here are mine. Was not easy at all, honestly, to distinguish them. Actually, I mostly have no clue to distinguish 320 from Lossless, and actually 128 is not obvious to me also. I also suspect than when confronting the "alleged" 128 with the source, my mind was tricking me. ...- liuk

Quote: if you are into modern classical compositors, Emerson Quartet's run on Shostakovich: The String Quartets is amazing. Not symphonic music thought. -
Songs that make your headphone WOOOOOW!!!
Shades of Blue by Madlib is a very well recorded live play of Bluenote jazz music remixed. I'm not into hip-hop myself but the jazz-side of works such as this one is pretty amazing. This album is golden, and recorded masterfully. -

Luke Vibert - Shadows if you like some electro with good soundstage and not killer basses (i.e. k701 over m50s) -
Audio-Technica ATH-M50 burn-in period...Is it really worth it?
just a few posts down here.. However, does not matter. Just listen to them and they'll get as good as they possibly can. They are headphones and won't get offended. All they need is, allegedly, to shake their drivers a bit.- liuk

How shall I prepare for my M50's?
I never fully understood this need for fat burn-in. I do think that burn-in is good for headphones to get better with time (my AKG701 got remarkably better after a few hours at moderate levels). But the good thing about it is feeling the improvement, isn't it? What's good about blindly plugging...- liuk

O2 or ODAC + cheaper companion

K701 thread
I actually heard that the K701s sound pretty well with higher impedance amplifiers. Cannot backup that with personal experience though.- liuk
