The Neumann NDH-30, Audeze MM-500, and upcoming Audeze MM-100 seem to be getting a fair amount of positive response in some professional audio mastering circles. I'm just wondering which over-ear headphones would Head-Fiers currently recommend as a good reference for listening to music, and why.

I just finished listening to Resolve's latest live stream, and thought there were a couple interesting topics that came up which sort of tied into some of the discussions in this forum, that might be worth commenting or expanding on. So thought I'd post a few thoughts on it here. One...

https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/ Finally downloaded this to give it a try. But I have a couple questions that I'm hoping some others here can maybe shed some light on. So thought I'd start a new topic.

Post music, artists, albums, etc. from the first two decades of the new millennium. Post as much or as often as you like here. But please try to put each video or audio clip (if that's what you're posting) in a separate post to keep things more manageable. And try to use official or authorized...

Could be a favorite winter or holiday album, or song, or video. Or something in more of classical vein. Or even something from a favorite holiday special. Or a performance from a late night talk show, to name just a few possibilities. Pretty much anything you think would put yourself or others a...

These are some YouTube clips I'm using to test my headphones and other audio gear, in all genres. Others are welcome to contribute here as well. I only have two requests though, if you do. First, put each music video clip in a separate post. So only one video per post. Second, post only...

AKG K361, K371 or K553 MkII? AudioTechnica M30x, M40x or M50x? Beyerdynamic DT 250, 770 or 990? Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, 569 or 58x Jubilee? Sony MDR-7506? Something else? What do you think, and why?

HEADPHONES: I am considering purchasing some new headphones. I'm not sure which ones yet, but it could be either a high impedance headphone like the 250 ohm Beyerdynamic DT-990, or 80 ohm DT-770. Or a lower impedance headphone more in the 35 ohm range, such as the AKG K553 MkII or K371. I'm...

Curious to know what you think are the best-sounding full-sized headphones "out-of-the box", without any EQ-ing, tone adjustments, or other modifications. Sound quality is the sole criteria here, whatever that means to you. If you want to break them down by price though (e.g. low, high...

Post Scandinavian and Northern European music and artists here. This includes Nordic (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Faroese...), Uralic (Finnish, Estonian, Sami...) and Baltic (Latvian, Lithuanian...) music. And also music in English and other languages by artists from this region...

Post European artists and music here in the genre of your choice (e.g. pop, rock, R&B, hip-hop, folk, opera, house, etc.). Old or new. Post as often as you like. But please post only authorized and official content by the artists whenever possible. And if you are posting individual tracks or...

This is not a "best of" type of thread. We're just looking for videos with some breath-taking, interesting, or unusual visuals, or some nice local color. Preferably in HD, and with little or no violence. Good sound will earn extra points, but it's not a necessity here. Post as much as you want...

Post as much as you want. But please try to put each video or audio track in a separate post to make thread navigation easier. And please post only "official" content authorized or uploaded by the artists or their labels. Related Topics: Name this song - help!! ahhhh!! Pop Music - authorized &...

I'm neither pro nor con on The Grammys. Fwiw, I think awards shows in general are a bit silly. Sometimes they can shine a light on new artists or acts though, that you may not have heard before. So just wonderin if anyone saw the show. And if any artist or artists stood out to you. I did not...

For popular music of the Middle East (aka West Asia) & North Africa in Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Amharic (see note below), and other notable languages of the region. This is not a genre (or genres) I know particularly well. But it's one I wouldn't mind getting to know a little better. Post as...

Let's see how good your memories are. You can go as far back as you like, to even the 20's, 30's and 40's (or earlier, if you like) when jazz was pretty much the mainstream music. Post only "official" content uploaded or authorized by the artists or their labels whenever possible. And post no...

What the title says. For purposes of this thread, "The Balkans" may include Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia/Herzegovina and the other former Yugoslav states. And possibly a few other countries. Note there are already topics here for Romanian pop and Turkish music...

Kind of a strange topic. But these areas and are all home to large populations of Turkic speakers. So thought I'd create a little thread for em. For purposes of this topic, Central Asia may include "the stans" (e.g. Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc.), and also Mongolia. And possibly some parts of...

What have you been listening to alot on your headphones recently? A few guidelines for the posts here... - Post as much as you want, but please put each album, audio track, or video in a separate post, unless you' re just posting a list or some general info. - Post each album, track or video...

Post and discuss vintage rock & roll recordings made by the artists who originally formed and shaped the genre. Post as much as you like. But please post only one video or track per message to make things more manageable. And try to post only authorized content whenever possible. The quality...

There is already a thread for this subject. However, unlike the other discussion, this thread will focus only on content expressly authorized and approved by the artists or their labels. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to... - music videos, lyric videos, audio-only videos, and...
