    Dunu DN-2000 - Hybrid Impressions Thread (It's Here!)

    Just came back here to say im thoroughly enjoying the dn2000s. Owned them for going on 6 months now, and have really grown to love and appreciate the sound.   Initially thought the treble "sss" was a lil pronounced. Foam tips help with the treble but don't last long for me. Have since switched...

    Dunu DN-2000 - Hybrid Impressions Thread (It's Here!)

    torn between using the clear tips versus the grey ones.. The clear tips have a slightly boosted mid-bass which i actually love, with the tradeoff of slightly more uneven treble. The grey tips sound "flatter" overall..

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    hey Coil. It's been awhile, i wouldn't feel comfortable giving an in-depth comparison not having both of them with me. However, one thing i can say is that I remember the bass of the X1's being pronounced enough as to render them clearly not neutral to my ears. I don't get that same impression...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    Yup, i'm pretty sure they are. Weird though that they don't come with any documentation, or any mention of them on the Philips website.

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    Got the fidelio x2's last week. Really loving the sound so far, and the improved comfort (owned the x1's for awhile, but had to sell them off as the headband was not large enough for my above-average sized head).   Mine happens to come with the "bass plus" cushion. Have been using the normal...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

     I think that advice usually applies for 1/4 to 1/8 adaptors (like the one included with the X1), which really stick out a lot and has potential to break your headphone jack if the cable is pulled the wrong way =O

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

      Hey. I wear glasses too. I did have some seal issues with my previous frame which were thicker at the sides. Really took away a lot of the bass. With my new thinner glasses its much better, though there is still a slight noticeable loss in bass response when wearing glasses. YMMV of course...

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

    Have owned this headphone for about 3 months now. Felt like posting here now just to say that i'm continously struck by how coherent-sounding these headphones are. Very masterfully designed sound in these headphones here..

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

      I had this exact same problem with the left side of my headphones. Its a small defect, but can be majorly annoying. The headband extension would shorten/retract by itself every time you tried to put the headphones on, which meant re-adjustment every single time you put it on your head. This...

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

    Erm, there's another thing i should've mentioned: the jacks on the headphones are recessed - this means that the plug on the cables that you buy needs to be slim, in order to fit into the recessed jack properly. The cable you linked there will likely not fit, as the body of the plug is thick.  ...

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

    The cable without the remote is about 115cm, which is really incredibly short. You won't be able to wrap it round your monitor without having your face against the screen hehe. You'll need to get an extension cable, or just swap out the stock ones. Their cable terminates in a standard 3.5mm plug...

    Hifiman HE 400 vs Sennheiser HD 600

    Can't speak for the HD600 cos i dont own them. However, the HE-400 is easy to drive; it runs well off my Fiio E10 (I even left it at low gain and had more volume than i needed.), bass was tight and well extended. Didnt notice any significant differences when i tried it with some more powerful...

    Hifiman HE 400 vs Sennheiser HD 600

    Do a search in google, there are a lot of threads asking this exact question already. And also do a search within the HE-400 thread and the HD600 threads, tons of people already asked and compared these two there. I will add though, in case you don't already know, the HE-400's are $100 off this...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    Hey. Firstly, are you saving the equaliser settings through REW as a .req file? this can be done in the same window where you make your adjustments in REW. This should make it easy to get back your settings and make adjustments quickly to your saved EQ. However, you still need to convert it to a...

    Creative Aurvana Live! 2

    The headband on my CAL! broke recently. (near the cup swivel joint) =(. Should i get another CAL! or get the CAL!2 to replace it? Is the CAL!2 worth the extra money, only considering sound/build quality. Comfort wasnt a big issue for me with the original CAL!.   The fact that i'm only...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    Hmm, I don't really have a set of songs i use to demo/test for sibilance. Its more of something i notice from time to time during my usual listening. An example would be something i'm listening to right now: "Ghosts" by Laura Marling. the "sss" sounds are too pronounced, imho. Something else...

    Hey everyone! first post here   I got the HE-400 about two weeks ago, finally came round to posting in this thread! Some impressions after getting it: (my previous headphone was a CAL!, for reference):   First impressions: I was honestly underwhelmed the first time i put it on and listened...
