Subbed for round 2.

Just go to post #1.

Glad to hear that! Is there any reason why you didn't use the files provided by the OP, aside from convenience? Also, could you elaborate a bit on how burn-in has affected the cans? Did it affect the mid-range in any way?

Hey guys, I'd like to talk a bit about the sound signature of the K7XX, and whether there's a way to balance it's sloppy mid-range out. For reference, I own both the Q701 and the K272, and the following examples I think would best represent the reasons for my (mild) dissatisfaction. Rock and...

Thanks for the files, one question though: is it possible to make a warm headphone brighter, by the means of burn-in? The cans in question are the K7XX, which I've burned-in for about 10-20 hours at an uncomfortably loud levels, using the music I listen to the most, in hopes of leveling out its...

@Kamakahah I've converted you, haven't I? ;)   Allow me to go on a tangent here and ask you about alternative gear. I've noticed that among your vast array or gear are the Magni/Modi. Could you give a brief summary on your experience with those, in the context of the NFB-15? Does the Modi have...

Y u  open links?

Interesting. How did you determine that it sounds better? Would you recommend removing a ground connection, and wouldn't this potentially increase noise?

I didn't say I couldn't tell a difference, even though it could have appeared that way. What I did say is that even though there is a (negligible) difference, it doesn't necessarily better or worsen the sound. Heck, try to differentiate between high and low res. yourself, you'll see what I mean...

@BlueRequiem anyhow, it's the lack of overall sound improvement that bothers me most. This leaves me with an albeit powerful, but still unnecessary SS amp, which is unjustifiably expensive for a 62 Ohm headphone that costs 2/3 as much.

Is there any way to disable keyboard shortcuts? Mistakenly pressed ctrl+enter for the third time already, still getting used to a new layout.

Thanks for trying to help, but my problem lies deeper than the lousy drivers, or the hiss for that matter. 

@Kamakahah I suspect it just depends on the system. Given that my laptop is pretty old, it's less likely to survive such an inefficient driver. Thanks for the providing a possible fix, but I have no time nor interest to fiddle with that right now. I'd much rather go with the M2&M2, which were...

The first thing I did was of course address Kingwa with this issue, to which he replied with saying that it shouldn't be audible on normal listening levels.  This leads me to conclude that it the hiss is normal to some degree, which does not correspond with a good number of you who claim that...

AKG K7XX and K272.

Got my NFB-15 a couple of days ago. After long hours of tedious listening, I have to say that I honestly cannot tell the difference between my Sony laptop and the NFB-15. Tracks that are "efficient" enough to have enough volume through the laptop sound the same too. This begs the question of...

www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/2qrlz0/so_the_audiogd_nfb15/. Answered not only the questions I had, but also ones that I didn't.

So to confirm, as of now, there aren't any issues with the drivers, correct? About to pull the trigger on the NFB-15, so if there's anything I need to know - do tell.

Thanks :)   Firstly, both the HE400 and the DT880 were rewired with a balanced connection, so I really had no chance to see how they sound with the NFB-11/15. But from the vague memory I have from the brief listen I gave to the DT880, it was just a bit more bright than I would have liked, and...

So is there any DAC/amp combo that best suits the K7XX? This is the part that frustrates me the most about this hobby, quite honestly. It's nearly impossible to get the hang of what to look for in sound if you don't have a wide variety of equipment to experiment with, without any significant...

And here I was, thinking that I've found the optimal choice for the money. God damn it. I've contacted Kingwa asking whether there are any plans to upgrade the 15.32, since it's been almost a year since it was last revisited, here's what he said: "We will discontinued the NFb15 while we spend...

To buy or not to buy? I've written about my experience with the NFB-15, 11 and 27 here goo.gl/kklFxm, and I think I'm ready to make the plunge, but to avoid possible stumbling blocks I thought it's a good idea to ask around on the dedicated thread. Here are some questions I have yet to receive...

I've posted a little comparison/review of the NFB-15 and the K7XX here goo.gl/kklFxm, if anyone's interested.

  So... Finally got the chance to visit the local Audio-gd distributor, and listen to the Master 9, NFB-27, and both the NFB-11 and 15. Had a lot of fun and positive impressions doing so, but before I dive into my rant review, I'd like to say that I am by no means an audiophile, so those of you...

The pads aren't angled, at least not in my unit.
