Endgame I returned AKG K371 and got Senn HD300 Pro and it's perfect. Godlike phone

A few hours in: The sound is the most accurate when the headband is at its tightest, or set to a max height position of 2 or 3. I don't crank headphones much, so the HD600 performs better at sounding nice while quiet. I need to get used to the closed-back feel of the AKG, I think that's what's...

The AKG K371 have arrived today and here's my first thoughts: They do seem to be picky how you wear them on your ears, the high-end gets accentuated the shorter you have your headband, and the bass and low-mids get filled in when you angle the headphone backwards. I compared them with my HD600...

After scouring multiple forums as well, I've decided on the AKG K371. I would have gone for the DT250 but I don't think I would be able to cope with the fact I had a modified headphone on my head and not the way it was meant by the manufacturer. K361 was an alternative but I think the sturdier...

Bumping Currently thinking of AKG K361 and Beyerdynamic DT250. Very close contenders, but leaning towards the DT250 at the moment

Outside of just DIY-Audio-Heaven I have now also checked RTINGS Another alternative to M50x I've also thought of is the M40X, but I have no experience with those and measurements look offputting. However I'm not sure how true these are

I'd also like to bring in Sony MDR7506 and the Audio Technica M50X into the equation. I was looking at the Sennheiser HD25 but on-ear might not be what I'm looking for. Beyerdynamic DT250 Beyerdynamic DT150 (with EDT 100T pads) Sony MDR 7506 Audio Technica M50X Which one of those would give a...

Thanks a bunch. I've been basing everything on what DIY Audio Heaven measured, so I think we're safe. The Radiance looks great but that price point is not right for something I will be throwing around in the studio, dropping it on the floor etc. It hurts hahah

I've been checking out the Beyerdynamic DT150 with DT100 pads. Green is with different pads and blue is stock. Source is also DIY Audio Heaven Does anyone have experience with those headphones? I've seen these being used in orchestral recordings a lot and I've always been interested what they...

Thanks! Beyerdynamic loves bumping that range around 8Khz and beyond, which I'm afraid of getting close to haha. I'd prefer not to go too DIY and stick to the original product as much as possible. I wouldn't want to apply any EQ either because I will be flipping between headphones a lot. I...

Hey guys, great to be back after almost 8 years. What headphones have the closest frequency response to the Sennheiser HD600, while still being closed back? I've had the Sennheiser HD600 on my head for so many years and they're absolutely unbeatable to me. I'm on the lookout for a closed-back...

Managed to get HD600s on Ebay for 139 € with the package and all that. These sound stellar! I did realize that I need a little bit of a higher volume setting in comparison to my HD555. I'm guessing that's what the higher Ohm value is doing. Don't feel any loss in important frequency volume...

I'll have the HD558 as a potential replacement if the HD555 dies on me. In the meantime, I'll keep a look out for the HD600. Thanks a lot, You two!

The furthest I'd go would be the Hifiman He-300, which I saw recently for about the price of 100€ used. Don't know how it competes against the HE400S. Sadly the AD900X hits a much higher price point around here where I live. Also, I always thought the SHP9500 was the X2/X1 's little brother. By...

Sup guys! I'm guessing there's been countless threads where people asked for help like this, but I just thought I might give it a shot. I feel like my problem's kinda personal here. So I'm looking for a pair of headphones, preferably Open-Back, that I would use not only as an all-round...

Bump Just curious.   They seem to fit when I look at the size of them but has anyone tried them on their Grados or anything similar?

Hi everyone! I didn't see this kind of thread on the forum so I'm gonna post it here. I heard the Sennheiser HD head cushions are really comfortable and I've been having some comfort problems with my Grado SR-60s. The Beyer Headband is sadly not available here in Germany. So I thought... Is...

Bump and Thread to the trash!   Just won the bidding on some Grados SR-60s with new pads. (The Old SRs. Not the Is) Got them for 37,50€ on Ebay. Thanks everyone for the advice! Sure hope some other people might use these recommendations.   Thanks again!   EDIT: These are amazing! 

The problem is - I can't go above 50€. The Pod Studio is already 130€ and I'm not paying more than 180€.   I would prefer some headphones with a clear sound and not so strong bass. I don't really like that boomy punchy pass since I don't really listen to stuff like dubstep. I listen to stuff...

Hey! It appears my plans on buying a Sennheiser 598 failed since I changed my wanted price tag a little bit. I'm looking for some good headphones, preferably over-ears. (I don't actually care. Show me what's best  ) My budget is 50€ / 50$ since I'm buying a Line 6 Pod Studio UX1 for Guitar...

Thanks to all of you for the great help!   I'm out of cash right now but I really want to get my hands on the HD598s. If there's gonna be some money problems I'll just go for the HD555s.   (Might Bump the Thread when I get them. First impression blablabla)   Thanks again!

  I was looking at some Beyerdynamic's lately and I realised the DT990 Pro have a similar price. Also: Are you talking about the "normal" DT770 or the DT770 Pro? I've also realised there are a few models with 250 Ohm, 80 Ohm or 32 Ohm impedance. Will the headphones with higher impedance be any...
