Having personally owned, both the jvc and yamaha's ( jvc broke), I can certainly vouch for the Quality of the bass of the yamahas, just not the quantity, they don't sound boomy and overpowering, which i really hate, and they really make female vocals sing. they both use microdrivers, so fit may...

Glad to  hear it, I've only owned the s4 for about a week before selling them, It just wasn't my cuppa tea.   Just a quick word of advice, if I may be so arrogant, I was really thrown off by your use of the word HEADPHONE, which implied that you were looking for either circumaural, or supra...

I would mention the dt 1350 Beyerdynamic as well, one of the best headphones I own, built like a tank, sounds incredible, classy looks. but hurts like a bitch.

Thanks guys, I'm getting a general picture of what I need, keep it coming!

 a pair of sennheiser momentum's would fit your needs like a glove, although you can't get those for less than 300 dollars I'm afraid,   what you need for asian, k-j-c-pop is a classical "house" sound, with a particular emphasis good, clean base, mid base and female vocals.   in that case...

BUMP?

Hey Remoo and angel, thanks for the timely reply.   well, I like headphones with flatter,(somewhat dry) frequency responses, although I listen to just about every genre sans rap, I like to hear an accurate recording whenever I can. I had a schiit asgard at one point which I adored, but I gave...

Patience is a virtue......

well mostly music,  maybe a little movies. and no gaming.

Hey all, I am currently in the market for a reasonably priced(sub 400 $) tube amp/dac combo for home use.   My criteria are as follows:   1) The aforementioned price limit. 2)a decent DAC Topology. 3) Ability to compliment a wide array of headphones. 4) Ability to plug straight into a pc...

agreed, the shures are an all around superior set of phones. I gave my beyers to my dad. who loves them.  

not necessarily in order of hours used. I currently own all these models..     1)sony mdr ex1000====(hopelessly romantic, perfect for classical) 2)Yamaha EPH 100 SL====(delicious bass, sparkly highs) 3)beyerdynamic dt1350 ====(the pain ! the pain!) 4)audio-technica ath-a700====(big...

I feel your pain man, almost a year later and my dt 1350s remain my least used headphones by a country mile, hell, even my ancient, bargain bin Sony Eggos get more ear time than the beyers , the clamping force remains completely unacceptable . what a shame. I just may have to sell them.  

very nice, the white looks quite classy I must say, I'm interested in a pair of cop's myself, how is the comfort like on these? is it similar to the Sennhauser HD 558 in terms of cup size, depth and breathability?  

do you know where  I can  get a pair (beyer xp3) in the states?, jaben doesn't ship here.  

Does anyone know how I can get a hold of a pair of XP 3's ?, I contacted Jaben but they said their  policy doesn't allow shipping to the U.S ):

I hope they sort out the design for the next model, don't get me wrong, they sound great, but I always have to fiddle with them for a while before I can get a proper seal. really annoying.  

.  

well, plan I on driving them off my walkman or cellphone(android), I just figured that since I paid this much, I should get the most out of them. do they really sound that good unamped?  

Hi, I just ordered my pair last week, and am very much looking forward to how they sound! does anyone know of a good, cheap,(sub 100$) portable amp to use with these? , I mainly listen electronic, dubstep, some pop, classical, everything basically sans rap, any suggestions?

thanks for clearing that up, I couldn't for the life of me tell the difference between the two, now I find myself leaning towards the beyer  instead of the hd 25s. any word on the durability of the dt 1350s? I plan on using it for the gym and my daily commute, pretty heavy usage.  

that's an interesting take on things, but I heard the new hd25s(amperiors) have an impedance of about 18 ohms, my walkman will be able to drive these cans  surely? and what of the dt1350, will my pmp be able to drive that? I would much prefere to buy a pair of supranurals than IEMs, which i...
