I know Ultrasone makes faux leather pads for pro650, I'm wondering if these are usable on the 750, or if there are any leather or faux leather  pads that fit the 750? 650 pads...

My UM1's are sounding dull again due to ear wax reaching the filter..   Last time I sent them to Westone to be replaced however this time I would like to try it myself.   I read that the filters are interchangable between differnet IEMs Etymotic Westone etc...

I see on the headphone.com site the Ultrasone Edition 8 has 20db isolation which is pretty good.  I currently have the Pro 750's but they are not very isolated for a closed can.  Is the Pro 900 better?  Anybody know what the isolation spec for the edition 9 is?  Are there any other phones that...

Ultrasone makes the claim that the S-logic thingy increases apparent loudness while not actually raising the SPL.  Do you find this to be the case?   Are there other headphones (any type) that display this same characteristic?   I know that smiley face EQ curve will increase apparent...

I've decided to go closed back, after having used Senn HD-580's and Westone UM1 IEM's for the past few years.  Reason is isolation, which is important, and the forward bass that closed back tend to have over open.   I want balanced presentation with perhaps a bit forward bass, as I produce...

Do these rest on the ear or around the ear?  thanks.

Hi everyone, is there anywhere in NYC I can audition these two fine headphones? Right now I have Senn HD580 and I'm looking to upgrade...

I'm thinking of trying the Stax Omega or 4040, wondering what amps I can use that have crossfeed control?

I need a truly mobile (battery or usb powered) AD/DAC for my Macbook Pro. I'll be driving a pair of Equation RP21's and Senn580's. The quality of the mic pres doesn't matter (just for recording rough ideas) but I'd like to have a nice sounding dac and headphone amp. Any suggestions...

I need a pair of closed phones for mixing music on the go. I'll be eqing tracks on the laptop so flattest frequency response possible is critical so I can get a mix that will translate well to other systems. I'm not looking for the 'best soundning' phones but rather the most accurate. I've...

There are several versions of this AKG headphone: K240S K240 55 ohm K240 600 ohm k240m k240df k240 sextett more? I am just trying to familiarize myself with the headphones. Could someone please inform me which is the best for studio monitoring? I will be using them for...

i have recently been working on making new cables for my senn HD600's and 580's. what i have discovered is that the wires in sennheiser headphone cables have an odd method of insulation. they appear to be bare wires, however they seem to have some sort of transparent dielectric coating. the...

Where can I get the grey cardas headphone cable (bulk)? I've found the blue but grey looks a little more appealing. Any leads would be appreciated.

Are there any alternatives to the Cardas 4 24awg cable as far as 4 conductor cables with tubing ready to go? I'd prefer an all in one cable as oppposed to putting 4 wires together and tubing them.

It seems to me that the foam sheet that covers the driver is pretty thick and could be replaced with a thinner more acoustcally transparent material. Has anyone tried this and where can one find such a material. Basically this material is just functioning as a dust cover for the driver.

Hi, what is the difference between these two and how can I identify each as such?

I am curious--are people who are using the Grado HP1000's using them at home with a stationary stereo system, or are you using them with a portable system such as an ipod and portable headphone amp? Reason I ask is I noticed the HP-1000 comes with 1/4" standard, which is unusual for...

Bowl, flat or jumbo? Which do you prefer for the HP1000? I have the flats and they are a little uncomfortable. My ears are average size.
