    Best lightweight / portable over ear headphones

    I have a lot of over ear headphones, but most of them are quite large and heavy (what can I say, I have a type). The lightest & thinnest headphones I own are the Stella's. I'd like to have a lightweight pair for 3 reasons: for the sake of it, for travel, and for my VR setup. Assuming there's...

    Are there wireless headsets that aren't terrible?

    Only issue is the Deva doesn't have a microphone. I know it's easy to use something like modmic but my buddy will refuse anything that isn't a headset.

    Are there wireless headsets that aren't terrible?

    Thanks for the response. Definitely intriguing I just wish the mobius didn't use artificial leather. In my experience artifical leather starts to flake apart after a few years.

    Are there wireless headsets that aren't terrible?

    My friends and I play competitive/hard-core FPS games. One of my friends absolutely struggles to locate sound direction in-game, while I'm able to pinpoint a gnats fart from 100 meters away. I tried to tell him it's because of his crappy wireless headset. I use Sony Z1Rs, Focal Stellia's, and...

    What is the best (for the price) cable maker in the U.S.?

    In your opinion who makes the best cables (custom or other) in the U.S.? I'd like to purchase nice copper or silver cables for meze empyrean and focal stellia but I find $500+ for a copper cable to be too extreme. What are your preferences for cable company's and/or independent cable makers?

    whats the absolute best open-back COMFORTABLE headphones?

    Yeah you're right. Everyone said the z1r is a bad headphone but I love them. So I tried the hd820s and they didn't seem to sit on my head properly. As if they didn't seal. Why do you enjoy yhr hd800s?

    Best / largest soundstage for closed back headphones?

    I was eyeing these years ago but didn't pull the trigger (was waaaayyyyy too poor). How do they sound? And how's the sound leakage?

    Thank you. For me portability is essential (I'd argue nearly every headphone is portable) do I'm currently using a mojo. But I'm certainly open to other portable suggestions. With that said, VC or stellia? Thank you very much

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    While purchasing my focal stellia I listened to various cans. I listened to the z1r and thought I would hate it. I prefer very analytical headphones. And the z1r's signature is not appealing...on paper. But something amazing happened when listening - I enjoyed it! I couldn't get it out of my...

    My better half needs a new pair of wireless headphones that she can use for working-out and hanging around.

    ATTICUS and EIKON, the new dynamic driver headphones from ZMF

    Just received my Eikon and Atticus. I received them in factory lacquer. They really look amazing. Obviously the pauduk has a gorgeous deep red, but what surprised me was the subtle beauty of the lacquered cherry. I returned my LCX-XC before purchasing these headphones and was worried they...
