A rare pair of vintage Pioneer SE-L40 headphones, manufactured between 1971-74! I was watching The Boat That Rocked and one of the DJs was wearing a pair of headphones that looked so cool and I didn't recognise them at all. Despite some research, I couldn't seem to get any info on them anywhere...

Hi everyone,   I thought it might be an interesting idea to post a screenshot here of your first page of thread subscriptions.  I get around a little bit on head-fi but am curious as to where others find themselves..  

Hey, this looks interesting.  Has anyone tried it?  It's squarely aimed at music producers and engineers but it makes some intriguing claims...   http://sonarworks.com/headphones/overview/

Hi headphoniacs! I've never been to a meet and would love to attend one.  Anyone interested in one in the North of England?  I've got a nice collection of headphones now.  My contributions of interest could be: HE560 HE400s with modded Jergpads NAD HP50 AKG K702 & K240 DF...

Hi there,   I've posted this in the high end thread as well as the full size headphones thread.  I'm beginning to think I may need to take a step up to the higher end of the headphone world.  I would appreciate any help or opinions from experienced head-fiers.  I have loved my journey so far...

Hi there,   I'm beginning to think I may need to take a step up to the higher end of the headphone world.  I would appreciate any help or opinions from experienced head-fiers.  I have loved my journey so far and have amassed quite a number of headphones over the last few years, many you can...

Hi Headfimaniacs, I've just received these amazing cans today as a day early birthday present from my lovely lady. I've got so much to say about how amazing these headphones are, but I just need some more time to formulate how to express my thoughts about them. So, I'd love to be able to start...

Hi people,   I have a dilemma.  I bought a vintage pair of K240 DFs some months back.  Basically, I love the mid range and treble on these things, they are so flat, neutral and clear (despite missing the very top end, it sounds), but I cannot abide their lack of bottom end any more!  I...

Hi people. My issue is with the length of the supplied detachable cable that came with my KRK KNS8400s. I'm after a shorter one, but I can't find any UK supplier for an official KRK replacement. Also, the US suppliers I've found won't ship to the UK. I've emailed the manufacturer and they...

Hi people,   You can see my list of cans in my signature, but I'm wanting a pair that I can use specifically for music production.  My music making will include using electronic sounds, but I am very keen to have some headphones with accuracy and transparency for recording and...

I gotta say, sat here switching between listening to my latest cans, a pair of HifiMan HE-400s and my Yamaha HS80m active monitors, there's no comparison. I mean, I've been into hifi for years and researched and built and systems around my budget, very often sounding way above that budget...

Hi people,   I posted this in the Headphone Amp section, but haven't received any replies, so I'm posting it here too.  Sorry for the double post..       I've just recently received a pair of these used from eBay and I'm presently running them from either my Arcam Alpha 8 integrated...

Hi headbangers,   I've just recently received a pair of these used from eBay and I'm presently running them from either my Arcam Alpha 8 integrated amp or my Asus Xonar Essence STX soundcard.  I'm mightily impressed with them up to now.  Having read some glowing reviews about how these are a...

I'm a musician and so is my good friend.  I really want to get him some nice cans for his birthday that is coming up.  I've done TONS of research, but won't get chance to try out many of my options.   He likes all sorts of music and is a piano and trumpet player.  His music tastes are...

With my newly found soldering skills, I have been trying to ressurect both my out of action Grados, an SR80 and an SR125.  The left driver was out on the SR80, the right on the SR125.  Now, I took the 80s apart and simply resoldered the detached wire - bingo, all done and they wsork perfectly...

Hi people,   I have two sets of Grados here (SR60 and SR125) that have been lying in storage for a few years now, as they need recabling/repairing.  I have searched without luck trying to find someone here in the UK to do it.  I have no experience with DIY stuff like this, so don't really...

Hi guys,   It's not without disappointment that I'm writing this post.  I've given these HD598s a good few months now and I'm on the verge of selling them and wondering if anyone here has ideas about which alternative cans might be the next right choice for me.   I'd like to state that...
