i was considering buying the mt8 since it has a detachable cable and was the succesor of ther over "hyped" mt220, but for what i've read it seems better to stay away from them, sadly i need a replacement for my shure srh440 (one of the cables at the hinges is failing so one of my ears is left...

i havent hear the msr7 or the akg k612 but the biggest difference is that one doesn't requiere amp and has a mic with extra cords while the other is not for a mobile use. btw how would you compare the k550 against the k612?.

The problem with geek audio is that the pulse sometimes blow your drivers off and the nighthawk they do lack detail(not so much as people tend to claim but they are planar) sometimes considering other headphones (maybe they are too dark?) but you being old (everyone of uf is going to get older)...

not to be a pain in the ass, but you're in your 80's and to add more fuel you mention suchs gear that came from geek audio (considering the pulse is really giving heavy pulse to some headphones). but i did remark the nighthawks because we don't know much about them.. only that they lack detail...

I don't get it why people keep suggesting dark sounding headphones for classical music (suchs as planars and the likes of the hd 650 and fidelio) when is clearly a genre that has the most on the upper range that the hd 800 can reproduce with more accuracy than most headphones with a larger...

i don't think anyone has done such a thing but to be honest i wouldn't do it mostly to all of the sound i would loose like soundstage and the "fuller" treble and mids. btw i'm thinking of getting something like the k712, but i cannot try them (they don't sell those in my country) so it would be...

  ????????????

can someone tell me if is worth paying around 200 more for the oppo pm-3 over msr7?.

That's depend, if you are mostly looking it for sound quality beyer all the way.. is not even comparable but Bose know how to do their noise canceling technology work soo if you are for a portable headphone with em   nothing special sound  wich pack the best noise canceling then bose is your choise

Well... actually  that measurement don't match what people say... its seems they msr7 aren't neutral (they never intended to be) and by no means bass light, according to http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/AudioTechnicaATHMSR7.pdf they are a bit mid heavy and with added treble. so i was wrong...

Hi, I need some nice cheap usb dac/amp (i own an msi gaming laptop, with all the "special gaming card an boosted volume" but has noise floor and every time i plug my phones it sound like a little ump), i was checking a random site specialized on specs it start with chan, but honestly i was...

What a Sad thing had happened.

anyone here have listened to thie Panasonic RP-HD10E-K headphones?. how do they sound?.

those headphone picked my interest, how are they compared to the msr7?, any frequency responde grahp?(how do they measure?), build quality?,microphone option?.

Well... just look at this Zo = (R1 * R2) / (R1 + R2) ..(22*8/(30))and you will notice something is off. plus the resistor are in parallels.. pretty much the Req will be lower than the R1(R1 being the headphone) for THIS CASE. but that isn't the point, that's how the person made the assumption...

i have a tons of doubt that i want to share with you guys, in the audio world what's the real meaning of transient response?, for example it give you a more "real life" or neutral response?, what about all the fuss with old technology about them?, they seem quite fragile(from what i had seen...

wait...what?! , there's a lot of evidence that cables don't make a difference in sound quality(at least your regular cable or a properly builded one), i did try the hd600 with their regular plug and the uber expensive cardas.. it did not make a difference at all, ok the cardas has this fancy...

i think most self called people "audiophile"(audiophool as an interesting person say) tend to be more on the older side (tyll from innerfidelity comes to my mind), buti 'm on the side if newer is not better then is cheaper and now you can match the performance of the uber expensive cans with a...

Dude i cannot thank you enough, finally i saw some graph (nice and useful graph, not like those of innerfi....), the treble is overpowering, some user say it was like the srh440 treble (the shure are not even near to that level), its seem the perfect headphone for woman voices but not for my...

I was a physical engineer student (currently i changed my career), passed alot of classes with marks like that (mechanics,thermodynamic,electrodynamic, calculus i,ii and iii), and others with not so good marks  like differential equations, electromagnetism, calculus iv, optics, classical...

yes, but most people that did the mod didn't have another pair to do a comparison, i'm just saying isn't worth the effort, you will actually loose bass plus increase the resistence of the headphone a lot, 

yeah, i have narrowed to 4 headphones but one of them is out of my budget (oppo pm-3), it need to be portable with a mic..(i'll mostly used on the go while going to the university and in library) the others options are the focal spirit one s, ath msr7 and mdr 1a, the msr7 seem to have taken the...

How do they compare against the shure srh440 (don't kill me, but i want to know) i mean things like treble, mids and bass plus depth.

 what portable headphones(over ear) do you guys reccomend for power,symphonic and industrial metal?, budget 250$.

i don't believe that such a mod will improve sound quality at all( if it did why Sony didnt make another version without resistor to milk us more), plus they sound just right out of anything.
