Is it possible to burn-in a new pair of cans in a/the wrong way? Burn-in is burn-in; there's only one way to do it, right? Just play regular music at higher than average hearing levels continuously for a few days? Also, do high impedance cans (~600 ohms) need to be burned in with an amp...

anyone?

A few very random (and possibly weird) questions not in any particular order of importance, please bear with me. I am a fully computer-based producer. 0. Is having the flattest frequency response the principal criterion in determining the suitability of a studio heaphone for production...

Firstly, thanks for your detailed post. Quote: Originally Posted by Tyll Hertsens Really all of the above expands only the low end part of the spectrum. Look at stereo equipment: of course you can buy a portabel cd player that costs $29, but Wadia still makes and sells a $10,000 cd...

So, Doc... how much does your Bada cost again?

I tried searching for a post explaining how various parameters like impedance, THD, SNR etc. are measured and what exactly do they mean in terms of performance... but I couldn't find anything... maybe someone with a few minutes can help me. My questions are as follows: 1. Can people really...

I dunno people; correct me where I am wrong. Research: I don't know how much money is spent here; but I think it is not a lot, especially for second and third generation versions of the product line. Parts: Do they even add up to a quarter/third of the sale price? For mass-produced...

As the title says. They're just amps after all! Some cost more than headphones themselves!

Thanks, Capital. My list so far: Senn HD590/eH350/HD555/HD280Pro Sony MDR-V6/MDR-7506 Why is it so hard to get some responses here? It seems to be a very active forum... maybe there just aren't many people here who can give me some more details.

thanks sgross anyone has any recommendations from other manufacturers?

are people really reaching -45 with crap soundcards and multimedia speakers?? I have AC97 (onboard sound) on my Dell 8400 and Senn HD497 connected to the front socket. I could only get to -21.

Hello everyone, I am looking to buy headphones for dance music production (mostly progressive trance) on my computer. My budget is $150 (hard limit). I am not buying monitors because I simply don't have enough space in my room. Plus, I don't trust the acoustics of my room at all. It is a...
