Does anyone know how these compare to the AKG K550s? I've read so many great things about the K550s but when I listen to them next to the A900X, I felt that the K550s highs were not smooth and harsh (relatively), the A900X mids (acoustic instruments and vocals) were much fuller and detailed, the...

I work at Best Buy and can get fantastic discounts on many products. I just realized we are selling several different models of amp/DACs for headphones and the sort. If I am getting into the headphone game, what is the best value NuForce product that I should get for the long haul(considering I...

Is this a commonly belief? I tried the Audio Technica ATH-A900 and thought they might have had a slight edge on the AKG K550, but they were both brand new and I only listened for a short while. Any thoughts? Sealed headphone for bluegrass and gaming (opposites, i know)?

I honestly expect no responses. I am in love with this musical group and listen to them everyday. This hasn't changed in years. Let me know if you know what portable headphones or eim with give me the most natural experience. I am an analytical listener who enjoys a balanced, neutral, detailed...

I am completely new to the headphone audio world. My experience with speakers is a different story. I have been looking into sets like Sennheiser HD25-1 II for portable use and the HD598 for listening at home. I've also recently considered the AKG Q701. This is besides the point. I am curious as...

Hello,   I am interested in getting some headphones and have become fond of these two models. Music is a tad more important than gaming to me, but that may change and is not the deciding factor. I lean towards the Sennheiser HD25-1 II for music for the neutrality and balance I've read about...
