I owned the Denon MM400 headphones. Hated the cable, as we all do.   Somewhere on Ebay or Amazon in the world you can find this seller, (Chinese based) with global shipping:   low20101020   I've bought a few braided and also rubber cables and they're all excellent quality.   Now, the...

Yes. I agree. I should have explained the bottom end better, sorry.   I currently favour the Shure SRH940 for studio work - well defined clear-as-day mids and a BIT like the MH40, subs are there but musical unlike the MH40, I can hear what the low notes actually are (a low B or a low C?) and...

All good points. I will add though, being in music production myself, that "loudness" also diminishes quality: dynamics are squashed. This is partly in an attempt to stand out on radio etc but also because lower end bitrates in mp3 encoding introduce artefacts in very quiet material. Mastering...

New upload from Deerhoof. The beauty of low-end very specific audio recording. This is an engineer's dream retro drum sound. It would never work even slightly in most songs but with Deerhoof - beautiful. https://youtu.be/CHP3hTNVqKM Apart from the sweet drums, it's as peculiar as you should...

the ap100? the new one in stupid colours? I like that one a lot.

if you know basic soldering, do what I did. CUT the cable at the ear end (cut it off the curly beginnings) and add a 1/8th FEMALE jack. Now you can use any headphone extension lead you want.   DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT SOLDERED MANY TIMES BEFORE   Get someone else to do it. Oh wait...

weirdly empty post. Hmmm...

Sorry for the late reply - I was doing several things.   I love the MT220 but they are very different to my Mofi. One is more for work (bit boring sound, Mt220) and one is for enjoying music hyped up a bit (mofi and I the Lola).   Interesting that the audio shortcomings you find in the Lola...

Thanks! I wondered about the Lola but thought it was just a lighter-weight Mofi without the amp. I'll have to try them. Although... my Mofi is the review model, not the retail one, and I'm not sure if there are differences other than the glossy finish. All I know is on my Mofi the amp is too...

Sony 100 AAP is great - check the forums here.   I LOVE the Blue Mofi bit it's rather more pricey.

I returned mine (MH40, tan). They were exquisitely made but sounded very SHOUTY and bottom end was lacking. Kind of irritating to listen to. Stop shouting music at me!   I had some conversations with them and I hope they'll be addressing the brashness in future headphones.

Mate, there is nothing wrong with the MDR 10R - they are fine. It's a good headphone. Top end clarity (highs) is not perfect but better than any beats will do. You got a really great deal. Don't sell them. Enjoy them, they sound pretty good. The 100AAP cost more and they sound better but that's...

The MT220?

I disagree - the MT220 is wonderful but it is not a fast punchy headphone. That's why I use it extensively in recording. If it was punchy I'd end up doing things wrong in recording. I don't. It is gentle with presentation, a little unrealistically so, with a rolled off top (not losing anything...

punch in the guts? The main amp will do that. Only the added bass will kill you.   Mofi's come with (used to) a yellow warning label or three that basically says these go very very loud, don't be a dick and ruin your hearing.   The review pair I have are absurdly loud with the amp engaged (I...

if you want a world where I don't exist (an aggressive 5 string bass player always on the lowest note available - that's around 30hz) get grado's and you'll hardly ever hear me.   If you think music is sexy, grado's are just a peck on the cheek.   If you want raunch... well look to something...

Nice deal.   YES upgrade to 100AAP.   Hard (impossible?) to beat the 100AAP in its price range which is more than double what you paid.   So... good deal for what it is. MDR 10R is okay but still not great audio - acceptable for $80, I'd say.   100AAP is fantastic for $180.   Use your...

Someone take the plunge please - I would but I'm currently trying to SELL my stupidly vast collection. Didn't like the HM9 much - sort of average. REALLY didn't like the HM5 (you could hear the cheapo plastic it's made of. That was a first.)   So I personally don't rate Brainwavz much.   I...

Not finalised but now with some guitars.  2:25 is the easy bit.   Same link, whatever that was. http://www.slunq.com/temps/Mayhap.wav.zip   Vocals (if any) won't arrive for about 3 months, or never.

feck double post.

I am a drummer. Nails and cymbals should never be in the same sentence. Although... some cool cymbals have loose rivets in so why not nails? It'd look cool - nine inch nails.

You have MT220s do you agree with my post immediately above this one? Or are you just HOW LOUD CAN IT GO?

A while back in this thread I posted partially done track that illustrated where the sony's were lacking in very deep bass, but they did fine for listening - not quite the sub of some headphones but agreeable. I'm working on something rather more intricate now with lots of tiny top end details...

NEAR as good, get the Sony aap100 H.ear thing. I have both, amongst other mid range ones. The Sony is almost there, punchy, weighty, but not really in the same league as the Mofi which has deep deep articulate honest-to the-note bass and mega clear highs, all with an upfront solid clean mid...
