I had my ER6i for years, loved them with the triple flange tips. Sadly, I lost them on a flight and I'm looking for replacements in the $200 or so price bracket.   Looking for:    - Want isolation on par with the ER6i - Comparable sound signature to the ER6i, but would take more detail -...

How would it compare to the MicroAmp and the DesktopAmp? Would H5 now an MicroDAC later make sense?

Sorry about getting you and Jamey confused. I think you listed his email in one of your posts and I mis-interpreted it to be your contact info. Apologies. Thanks again for the info. Don't know if it made easier for me, but it helped.

Thanks for the input Jamey. One follow-up question related to your post about the effect of battery life on the MicroAMP. I believe that in an earlier post you mentioned that the MicroAmp did best with fresh batteries and that the A/C connection is inferior to a set of strong batteries...

After a couple of weeks with a DT880 and K701 from Headroom, I've decided to keep the K701, although the DT880 was really close and I'll miss them when I return them tomorrow. I'm playing FLAC files through Foobar (KS or ASIO) out of an X-Fi headphone jack. The consensus is that I should...

to what I found, too. Thansk for the feedback. Unless something major changes while listening tonight and tomorrow, the Beyers are going back. Any veiws on the Headroom MicroAmp (with Desktop Module) and the K701? N

Thanks for the feedback. Both phones bug little spots on my head (ear lobes and the bend in my jaw bone) over a listening session. The K701s are easier to adjust and reposition to get around this than are the DT880s, so I guess that's a plus for them, but I remain afraid of the stretch factor...

Had my pair of 6i for about 6 months and haven't noticed a change in their sound. I too found the detail in the highs to be insane (I liked it), but over time, you adapt and eventually, as your subconscious ceases to be mesmerized by the highs, you start hearing more bass. I guess something...

This thread follows on two earlier ones that led me to audition (from Headroom) a 2006 DT880 and a K701. I have to decide and ship back by Thursday this week and I'm torn. Sound: I seem to prefer the K701 by a very slight margin as the sound seems, to me, to be more continuous and fluid...

What does TMI mean?

The DT880 and the K701 arrived tonight. Both fit, but while I'm at extreme of the K701's fit, I'm farther into the DT880's range. Both bother my ear lobes, which are fleshy and longer than normal (wife says there "suckable"). Setting them up for burn in for a week minimum and final...

Just got these two from Headroom and now trying decide which one to keep... argh... Listened to both a bit tonight, but will let them both burn-in (normal volume with normal music/radio) for serveral days before making any serious decisions. Honestly, right now the differences are so...

get my vote. See this thread for some links to Tutorials: http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...=1#post2270030 You should check out hydrogenaudio.org, too N

vYu223, I use the one you've been using for its coverage of drive configuration, which is key. I haven't seen the one supplied by vyusseem, but I'll take a look at it from home later. N

Toast, Unfortunately, I don't have any gear yet. Complete newb that was hoping a meet would help me with my first purchase. N

Thanks SC! Sounds like they'll be worth a try. Can't find anyone that has the K701 locally, so the current plan is to order the DT880 and the K701 from Headroom and see which wins.

I'm very new here and to the headphone thing, but I'd relish the chance to check out all your gear I live in Ottawa, just tell me where and when the w/e of Aug 5. N

sc53, Very helpful. With the K701.... if the cups are perfectly in place around your ears, does the headband rest where it should or is it floating above your skull? Currently thinking I'll order the K701 and DT 880 from Headroom and decide on fit and sound on my own equipment at home.

Wirbeltier, Noticed that your sig mentions AD2000 on the way. Have you received them yet? How do they fit?

I must say that I really liked the AT sound, but they just kept falling off my head. Elephas, Glad to see you here given your vast experience. The fit problem was both a veritcal and horizontal issue. Veritcally, the gap between the part of my skull where the little pads rest and my ears is...

Thanks Doogie, but I don't think I could stomach such a solution after paying for something like a K701, particularly given that the Beyers fit. Can anyone comment on the smallest head that the K701 can fit comfortably? Thanks!

As mentioned in an earlier thread, I actually found a new local retailer that had one set of ATH-AD700, some Grados, and a DT-880 in stock. I was amazed to find that that I had the Grados and the DT-880s at their smallest setting, and that the AD700 didn't even fit me. Obviously, this...

Happened across a local retailer (new place that just opened) that has Beyers and ATH-AD700 in stock in addition to various Grados! Revelation 1: ATH-AD*** don't fit my head, which is too small for them! The cups end up sliding down until they are hanging on the upper part of my ear. Luckily...

Given the cost, I'm thinking I'll just go with the AD900 from the US, and see how it goes. If they're entirely lacking, I'll think about the AD2000. Since everyone seems to agree that the K701 is no-go without good amp, I'm striking it off the list for now. If anyone knows of a place to...
