thanks for the impresson, nice to have someone comment on the thread who actually has the product in his hands.

    that's interesting, drove them all off from the same amp?

    audeze... the lcd2 is by far the most beautiful looking headphone I have ever seen... if its not so expensive... anyway, that helps a lot, thanks!

        thanks both of you for sharing your experience. im still not set on which one I should get... I don't really mind the price difference between the zmf and he500 and I don't think I need the isolation of a closed back, my worry is if I will find the he500 fatiguing in sound and...

for the guys who have both the he500 and zmf, do you think the zmf matches the he500 in terms of technicalities? and which one do you prefer?

I like how I went off for months from head-fi and came back and this still hasn't released lol. anyway, will be interested to see how it performs june and july. I think im now more of a headphone guy though...

    thanks for chiming in, i thought this thread died a long time ago. anyway, for the e17, i found it lacking power for my fostex t50rp, i didn't notice it until i drove it out of my ibasso dx100. i didn't a/b but that's what i felt like when listening through my dx100. but maybe planars are...

    if its already in mp3 format, upconvert it to flac or wav wont help and would just waste space. you need to rip them in lossless from headstart.

Really? No one knows? :cool:

One time I was cleaning the jacks on my ibasso dx100 with the electronic cleaning spray, the player got pretty cold. I want to ask, is there any adverse effect on the player?

How about a mod of the fostex t50rp? I have been looking at those recently.

I agree with you.

Maybe try a warm sounding amp or something, I don't know. I also find my dt990 (250 ohm) fatiguing, I think my friend's dared mp5 (tube amp) tamed it a bit. You may want to look into just getting a new headphone though.

I would say your definition of hifi is exactly the same as mine, closest to good live performance as possible

well I also don't really like to mess with settings too much. I like just plug and play, I also find that I don't really change headphones. I have my sony xb500 for times when I want more bass, I find that I don't really use it, I just have it there just in case I feel like listening to a bass...

i understand both points of view, someguydude and kamijolsmyhero. I personally define it more like someguydude's definition but I can understand both of your opinions. however, I don't use eq when I listen to music, if I want more bass, I would just change my gears to a more bassy setup (mostly...

q701 is bassy? I don't own it but have listened to it before... its not bassy, just my experience though. I think you should check out the mad dog (never listened to it but its very popular over here, you can find it at mrspeakers.com) and denon d600. denon d600 is pretty bassy and the bass is...

      the he400i or the he560i? i wonder if hifiman will keep the current promotional price for the he500 once those are released. or should i wait for the new hifiman models or like you said, shoot for the lcd2?... ill probably just get the he500... in case they get discontinued or something

    thanks and you too, hopefully you find a method to resolve the problem you are having with the he300. 

man, poor customer service is bad news for me as im contemplating getting a he500 and i already have the fund for it too... 

i don't like to bother other people with my music so i 99% use headphones/iems. i also have much more money invested into headphones and iems more than speakers. i have a pair of 20 bucks altec lansing speakers in my bedroom. that's it, that's all the money i have spent on speakers. i don't use...

thanks for the link
