    Any headphone fans in Halifax, Nova Scotia?

    I'm getting kind of lonely because there are no other headphone fanatics around here! I have so many headphones, I just wanna talk about them and listen and whatever, damn it! If you happen to be a Haligonian, a headphones-crazed audiophile, and you're also sick of the fact that our hobby is...

    How much of a headphone's sound is just EQ?

    Can you EQ in things like tightness of bass and and speed? I'm curious about it.

    Does this happen to you often?

    Accidentally having the volume turned up all the way when you turn on music with your headphones. It sucks and it hurts...

    How much he to Stax SR-404LTD go for?

    I have a pair in perfect condition. There were only 1000 made, so I'm wondering if they are valuable. Thanks!

    HD598 on a pretty lady... (Let's talk about the HD598)

        Wow, this lady looks great... but do you notice what's wrong with this picture?              Anyway, how about them HD598s? It's been long enough since their release, so I'm sure you guys must have some very mature impressions of them by now!

    Magic Headphones

    Hey, I'm just wondering what headphones you would consider "Pure Magic" when you out them on your head. A few headphones really transcend measurements and just give you an indescribable feeling while listening to them. In-Ear headphones are also allowed. -Kiikasi

    What if you hook up a subwoofer AND headphones?

    I'm not sure where to put this, but here goes: Headphones don't give the sort of physical feeling of bass that real speakers have, but they have all the frequencies you need to hear it. So how can we remedy this problem? What if we manage to hook up a subwoofer + headphones and use the subwoofer...

    Which headphones look the most expensive to you (Regardless of price)?

    We've all been there: "Those were $500? They look like they were 50 dollars". Some headphones perform really well and are some serious cash, but they just don't look the part.   In your opinion, which headphones look the most expensive/impressive with no mention of the price. (They can even be...

    Hifiman HE-300 & EF3 Amp combo on for just $249

    This deal is so off-the-hook it's as if the hook never even existed. http://www.head-direct.com/Products/?act=detail&id=194 I mean, $249 is the already great price of the HE-300 and now it has this Amp with it!

    I think my used Denon D2000s are actually modded!

    I picked up used Denon D2000s in Japan (For an epic price, by the way) and I expected the slightly recessed mids, loose bass, and slight sibilance. I got NONE of that. After several A/B's with my HE-500s, T5ps, IE800, and other high-end headphones that I own and they ripped them apart. No, this...

    Which full-sized (Or even IEMs for that matter) are similar to the RE-400?

    I'm in love with the transparent, airy, and natural sound of the RE-400s, so I am naturally eager to up the ante and get something high-end that can give me the same euphoric lift from the way these present the vocals. I own the Sennheiser IE800s and not even those do it the same way for me...

    What type of alcohol is your headphone?

    Imagine a darkened room and fine scotch in a crystal glass by your side. An oaky aroma wafts over you, a smooth taste caresses your tongue, followed by a pleasant warmth on the way down. The LCD-2. Sitting at a race-track with a light beer. Smells like beer, tastes like beer-flavoured water...

    What little feature of Hi-Fi makes you sigh in pleasure every time?

    I love that feeling when I plug my headphones into my tube amp, start playing music from the source, and THEN turn on the amp. The way the music slowly fades in from my right ear to my left is bliss.

    Eerily amazing-sounding DT 770 PRO 250 ohm (Must read)

    Now. This is all going to sound a bit crazy, so bear with me, alright? I just yesterday picked up a pair of DT 770 PROs. These are in fact my second pair of them as I had returned them well in the past. They are a very "fun" sounding headphone with great bass, but a kind of "closed" or "cupped"...

    Post your unpopular opinions!

    Due to the entirely subjective nature of headphones, everyone is bound to have an opinion that doesn't fit with the normal ideas. I would like you to share them with me and all of us!   Here's mine: I think the Monster Inspirations sound quite good.

    IC: Anyone for a Halifax, Nova Scotia meet?

    I just got into high-end audio (Hifiman HE-500, Beyerdynamic DT 1350, Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO, Bellari HA540 amp) and I'm really interested in if Hi-Fi is popular in Halifax! I would love to meet up with other, more experienced enthusiasts and really feel that sense of community. Anyone...
