      http://cdn.head-fi.org/7/78/78eaa07a_XBAZ5.jpeg   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdpYCIbVHAU Looks like Z5 is the successor to the XBA H3 with improvements to the dynamic and BA drivers I wonder if XBA Z5 will be a new model above XBA H3 or a replacement to H3...   ... and imo the Z5...

    Can anyone see graphs&charts on headphone.com?

    I'm not sure if I'm the only one having this issue. I was trying to compare other headphone graphs yesterday but the graph is missing, won't show up in Firefox.

    Does $100k + jobs in I.T. exist or just a unicorn?

    Anyone here work in I.T.? Any $100K+ jobs out there if you have solid IT certifications (A+, N+, S+, CCNA etc etc) but not a college graduate? I hear that CCNA is a great all-round certification... but what are certifications that are above CCNA that can guarantee at least $100K pay?

    Is Senn. HD 280 a good buy for $79.00 new ?

    My local Best Buy store has the HD 280 for demo and purchase. The thing I noted is how slightly refined this is compared to Sony V6/7506... and boy HD280s do have vice-grip, it almost gives Bose-like noise-cancelling silence when you wear them.

    I only have few hours to decide... Audio Technica ATH M40

    The ATH M40 is attractively discounted on amazon right now and i almost impulse-bought it a few hours ago. price aside... is this headphone any good compared to its big brother (M50) and other highly regarded monitors out there like the Senn HD 280, Sony 7506 and Shure 440?

    Does anyone here try to "open up ear canal " by "depressurising" your inner ears while or after inserting non etymotic IEM?

    Will JH audio ever release a universal IEM?

    Since Jerry Harvey basically designed the Triple fi 10... wouldn't it be nice if his company re-release the classic Triple fi 10 under JH brand with higher quality cable (at least something comparable to Westone EPIC cable) and sell it $250 msrp?

    I'm itching for Sony MDR V6 and 7506... is it worth trading my Ultimate Ears Triple fi 10 (IEM) for 2 headphones?

    I don't have that much disposable income these days... but as much as I dig the sound of UE Triple fi 10 I'm thinking about getting back to Sony MDR 7506 (sold mine 3.5 yrs ago for UE TF-10), and would also like to own a Sony MDR V6.  I intend to use the Sony V6 to listen to music and use 7506...

    Can anyone recommend me something that can power a Sony MDR V6 / 7506 "With Authority"?

    I hear/read that these headphones can sound more "smooth" and "transparent" when you give it more juice... not just to further increase volume but also refine some of V6/7506 headphone's rough edges such as its treble, "rebuild" the lost mids (when powered only with portable devices like iphones...

    Recommend me a dac+amp that can power my Sony MDR V6/7506 "With Authority"

    This is my first attempt at thinking about getting amp/dac for a headphone.  My source will be primarily be my laptop through usb.   I hear/read that these headphones can sound more "smooth" and "transparent" when you give it more juice... not just to further increase volume but also refine...

    Thinking about upgrading from Sony MDR V6/7506 to MDR CD900ST... smart move?

    I read about the characteristics of this headphone in this forum and they say it's the refined version of the sony V6/7506 headphone that I used to own. I also wonder if anyone tried to mod this headphone with beyerdynamic DT250 pads because the CD900ST stock pads looks really shallow. This...

    Any BOSE owners here?

    I know some of the products being churned out by BOSE are infamous, but please bear with me... I think the Bose 161 and VCS 10 has wider frequency and sounds more linear than the cubes that come in Accoustimass system. I own 2x Bose 161s and a Bose VCS-10 center channel. I wonder if my Bose...

    anyone here ever tried ROLAND RH-300 headphone?

    i checked out a japanese homepage about the RH-300 headphone. from 20hz to 3khz it looks like how an in-ear monitor would sound like are these basically ultra-refined sony mdr v6s?

    I think i like what i'm seeing here....

    i've seen posts about this headphone not having enough bass or mids are recessed. At 63 Ohms i think this headphone is no good when you connect straight to your ipod or your laptop's headphone out. It really needs dac/amping if you wanna get deep and punch bass
