    "Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review

    Quote:   The buyer pays up front, usually through PayPal since PayPal offers insurance against the swindlers you're worried about (at cost however).  Really, the way online sales work, the buyer puts the money up front, the only person really at risk of being swindled is the buyer, more...

    Best Amplifier for Beyerdynamic Custom Pro One?

    You might have better luck in the "Headphone Amps" forum, or "Portable Headphone Amps" forum if that's more what you're looking for.   Generally, it's helpful if you can provide as much information as possible.  You didn't even mention your budget range which will just have everyone wasting...

    "Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review

    What is "laid back" referring to? Because, "more laid back but with more punch" confuses me, sounds like a contradiction of terms.  ;-)

    "Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review

    Quote: Haha, that's good to know.  I was sure there would be sound leakage, but I had no idea it was that much.  Hifimans were the only other headphones I was going to consider trying out, but I mostly listen at work.  While most my coworkers have their own headphones on, I don't really...

    "Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review

    So, not to derail this Beats by Dre thread...  ;-)   but anyone else have impressions on the Dog Pads? Everyone should have received them by now, right? I know all of the people who've ordered MD's recently has them with the Dog Pads already installed, but interested to hear a some rough...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    I really love this recent push towards classically-stylish, leather-clad, sleek headphones.  An unexpected result of Beats fandom, "club them with style."  Beats will still dominate with it's core market of course, but put a set of headphones like these next to them and Beats looks like a...

    "Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review

    Quote:   If you're coming from primarily Denons, it's certainly a drastic shift from such a pronounced V curve to a really flat headphone.  I was a little apprehensive about getting the MD's because I know I prefer a bit of a V-curve, but Denons were overkill to the point that I couldn't...

    "Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review

    Quote:   I gave a more in depth first impression between these two headphones a few weeks ago, in this thread.  I had D2000's for over a year and just recently picked up the Mad Dogs, it took a little while to get used to a less exaggerated sound, but I absolutely love my Mad Dogs now.  ...

    Dallas, TX - "Deux for 2012", a not-quite-as-mini meet - Sunday, October 14th

    Wow, glad I saw jazzerdave mention that there was a Dallas meet in the Mad Dog thread.  This is happening right across route 75 from my apartment, I don't think I have an excuse *not* to visit.  I'm still pretty new to the Hi Fi world, certainly haven't been to an event like this before.  I...

    Upgrade from M-50 and Introduction of New Member Here!

    Quote: From what I've heard the HE-300 has a VERY different sound than the 400, it's not just a downgraded model, 400 is Planar Magnetic and the 300 is a Dynamic headphone.  I've never heard much praise for the 300.   The Mad Dog on the other hand, again this is just second-hand, but...

    Dubstep Headphones

    I was going to recommend the Dennon 2k's for insane, head rumbling sub bass, but you said Beats were too expensive and D2k's run the same price new, though it's pretty easy to find a used pair for $200.  I think the Dennons definitely need an amp to get that bass going.   Maybe look into the...

    "Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review

    I'm unsure at this point if the MadDog's are still breaking in, or if my ears have just retrained themselves from listening to the Dennons for so long, but I'm really digging these now.  There was a fairly long period where I was unimpressed with what I was hearing, but now I'm loving it.  I...

    I done lots of reading here and I think im set on 4 headphones.

    If you're planning on using these while being mobile I would definitely not recommend the D5000's.  The cans are pretty massive, sit pretty loose on the head and the cord is something around 20 feet long and very stiff.  They aren't really designed for on the go.  I used the D2000's at work for...

    "Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review

    Quote: I would imagine so.  My ZO2 drives it which tops out at 250 ohms.  I had to switch to High Gain mode and I'm pretty close to topping out on volume.  It definitely takes a bit more than I'm used to to drive, but it's not unreasonable.

    "Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review

    Really anxious to hear some impressions on these pads when people get them.  The bass is the only thing that's making me a bit hesitant on the Mad Dogs, a bit more oomph and they might be perfect.  Unfortunately by the time the pads come out, I think my trial listening period will be over so...

    newbie questions.. and first setup

    I have a pair of AudioEngine 5+ speakers as a starter to my home theater setup, they sound freaking fantastic.  This is their flagship bookshelf speakers, which you can actually get for $350 with a coupon that's not too hard to find.  If you want to keep it modest though, I've heard nothing but...

    "Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review

    Just got back from a small trip with my Mad Dogs waiting for me at work yesterday.  I panicked at first to see the large 1/4" plug, I had to sneak out to a Radio Shack to get an adapter, so a heads up to new purchasers.  My early impressions on their sound...   First off I have to say this...

    Help needed for Dac/Amp combo

    http://www.jdslabs.com/item.php?fetchitem=48   Note I'm just throwing this out there from my own research which I've been reading into for about 5 months now.  I almost went with the Matrix Cube earlier this year, but I really like everything I've heard about NwavGuy's 02 amp and 0DAC...

    Brief Odac impressions

    Quote:   Alright, thanks for all of the replies everyone! I know they were all based off the same board and specs, my concern was more with the different inputs/outputs/accessories/cases I was seeing.  I realize now that I was looking at Epiphanies amp combo and not the dedicated DAC.  I...

    Brief Odac impressions

    So, I hate to come in and ask the newbie questions, but DAC's are one thing I don't understand so I've shied away from them so far.  Now that the 0DAC is available I'd like to take the plunge with plans to purchase an 02 amp later down the line.  Currently I have a portable Z02 that I use for my...

    V-Shaped Signature Headphones to replace TF10's for Home Use?

    I'm not sure you'll find anything in that price range.  There's a lot of buzz about modded T50RP's that run around $300, might be your only bet.  I'm on the verge of picking some up to listen soon myself.  Possibly Fidelio L1's which are supposed to have a nice amount of energy to them, but...

    Denon ah-d2000 vs. HE-400 vs. HD 650?

    Coming in late, don't think you're even considering the D2000's anymore, but just in case you are, cross them out.  I've had the D2000's for over a year and everything you say you don't want in a headphone are the complaints I have with the D2000's.  I doubt I'll find another headphone that will...

    I'm looking to spend $250-500 on headphones for home use

    Post back with your impressions after you get some time with your HE-400's, I'd be curious to hear how you like them.  I was in your position about a year ago, though my budget was a more modest $200-$300.  I ended up going with the D2000's, but I haven't felt completely satisfied, maybe it's...

    Am i looking for bass junkie Headphones?

    Don't take too much stock into what I'm about to say, I'd wait till some more experienced guys comment.  Especially with someone that's more familiar with this type of music, and what you're looking for.  Just wanted to chime in that I listened to most of this with my Dennon 2000, which are...

    Review: Philips Fidelio L1 [Updated 5/14]

    Thanks for the latest impressions, dismayed to hear that they are so laid back, I guess they aren't what I'm looking for after all.  Still one sexy pair of cans.  The picture above is a great reference too, I hadn't realized they were that portable sized.
