    I'm curious................do any of the headphone-specific amp makers (Schiit, etc) offer tone controls and/or loudness switches?

    And if not, can anyone comment on why not?  Seems it would allow you to fine tune the sound to your liking, as I am able to do with my vintage amps.   Not trying to be a smart arse but it would seem to make sense to have the ability to add adjustabilty for treble and bass - at least to me.   ...

    M-Audio HDH50 - the successor to the popular Q40

    Got these new release cans today after ordering from Amazon about two weeks or so ago. Paid $153.02 which is an incredible price in my view. I've owned the Q40 for two years and loved them, after a pad swap and cable swap.. Great overall sound with nice tight bass, it was the headphone that...

    Anyone see Pearl Jam Twenty on Palladia?

    Outstanding story of the band from the early days to surviving together over 20 years now.    Really rekindled my love for the album Ten and Eddie Vedders voice.  Best rock voice to me.    Anyone else see the special on TV?  Any Pearl Jam fans?

    Short headphone cable like the V-Moda audio only

    ...................but about 12-15" long.  I use it for my portable setup and currently have to coil the V-Moda audio only cable about a dozen times, then cable tie it in place.  Would love one like that cable but much shorter and off the shelf/aka good price.   Any input is appreciated.

    Smooth Jazz - the poorly named upbeat instrumental music I love

    So we have a number of Jazz threads but most vary in their focus and have a lot of old school jazz..............which I just do not like.    I'm talking the new stuff that is upbeat, has great bass notes and gets you moving. I know from reading the 'what are you listening to thread there's a...

    Comfort - Edition 8 vs Signature Pro

    Had the Sig Pro and traded it for a D7000 because of the comfort issues with the pads after 45 minutes or so.  No such problem with the D7000's.    My question is this - I LOVE the Ultrasone sound and want to try an Edition 8...............BUT the question is this - is it clearly more...

    Alpha pads and the Pro900...............a great match

    Yep, I grafted on a pair of Mr Speakers Alpha pads on to my Ultrasone Pro900 speed switch earpads (after cutting off the velour and foam padding) last night.  Super glued them together, let them dry, then let them rip.   The stock Pro900 to me is very comfy (after the HD650 headband mod) and...

    iTunes stuttering when using Firefox

    So I searched and this problem has been prevalent on and off over the years for many Head-Fiers................   I've got it bad now and it's when listening to something from iTunes while surfing in Firefox.  I have the latest iTunes update but it started right before this.  Didn't seem to...

    Portland, Oregon area folks - where are places to audition headphones?

    I know about Echo Audio from the event but their offering is limited from a perspective of number of different manufacturers.    Who else has a good selection for listening?  Anyone?

    PRO700MK2 - pad rolling questions?

    I know the consensus is to put M-50 pads on these basshead phones for comfort and ear to driver clearance. Has anyone tried HiFiMan leathers or the Shure 840 series pads as well? The Shures on my Q-40's are much improved comfort as was the HIFiMan leathers. Just don't know if they will fit...

    Need ur input on portable with Nass boost

    LOL title should read BASS boost. Frankly my head is spinning. So many choices and no clear cut fave. I have an E-11, E-7, E-6, E-02 and ZO but use the ZO with my desktop. I want a portable that has the best SUBbass adder (selectable would be good). Battery life at minimum 10+ hours...

    Beyer gel pads

    I ordered a set of Beyerdynamic gel pads and am now waiting for them to arrive from Germany.  Factory told me this is the last shipment and they will be discontinued.     Who has used them?  I'm going to try them on my Q-40's instead of stock and/or the Beyer velours as for the Q-40's I...

    Mad Dog owners............were you once a basshead? Because I gotta know how you adjusted.............

    ..............to not really feeling the bass with Mad Dogs.  I'm used to Sony XB700's and M Audio Q40's for a point of reference.  I love bass and my truck has 1200 watts with a 10" sub so yes, you could say I like the thump.   I hear and see on graphs that the MD has plenty of deep bass. ...

    M-Audio Q40 mod question

    I did the Beyerdynamic velour pad last night - great comfort improvement.  Question is the foam pad (think it's a dust protector) - did you all leave it in or pull it out?  What difference did it make on sound quality?   Love these headphones.............see my sig you'll notice my...

    Double amping................amazing but why can't a single amp do this?

    OK, so I have an E-11 fed from a iPhone 5 using EQ10 or Equalizer app (via LOD connector), then into the ZO, and out to my XB700's. Yes, I am a basshead.    The thump is amazing, the depth and quality of sound is a thing to behold.   Why is this?    Why can't a single headphone amp...

    ZO - why am I not impressed?

    Got my ZO via Amazon - seems like based on packaging it may have been used, and was missing a piece of instructions I saw in the YouTube videos. So not a good start. I have a Fiio E-11 and love it so thinking this was a bass head amp I bought it. First off, it's unclear if I am in high gain and...

    I like the rubber thingie that goes on the Bose IE2 but want an IEM that is a Basshead model with that type of fit.  NO other earbud-style IEM's stay in my ear............especially when running or working out.   Any help TIA............and no, I don't want custom audiology molded units. ...

    Anyone have both the Denon AD-D1100 and the Sony XB500 and can comment?

    The deal on the Denon's is almost too good to pass up..............so for $100 I may try them.  Currently have Bose AE2's, Sennheiser 498's and Sony XB500's (my fave of the three by far).  I'm a basshead for sure so factor that in if you have tried the Denon's out..............and if you are...
