Hey, While on amazon.com the Audio Technica ATH-AD700 costs the same as the Sennheiser HD 555 (both around $105), their price here is much closer to the Sennheiser HD 595 (both around €150). Since I haven't found any comparisons, I thought I would simply ask if anyone heard those two...

Hello, I saw in your signature that you've both heard the Sennheiser HD 595 and the Audio-Technica AD700. Which do you like best for electronic music? My current HD 435 has too much bass, but I'm a bit concerned the AD700 will have too little. Kind regards, Stijn

I mainly listen to dance and trance, so I'm a bit worried about the described lack of bass. I have to note though, that my current Sennheiser HD 435 has far too much bass (I have to turn it down on the equalizer). Would the Sennheiser HD 595 be a better choice (unamped)? Their prices are very...

I think this is a simple question, but I haven't found the answer to it (yet). I was wondering if I need to run the iBasso D2 Boa from the battery, or if I could simply plug it in a powered USB-port and run it without using the battery? That way I could use it as a regular desktop amp.

Since I may be buying the HD 555 or HD 595 I'm also interested in a cheap amp that would benefit the sound quality.

I've finally decided I don't want to spend that much on speakers. Considering my budget, I'm now looking if a pair of headphones would give me more value for my money.

Hey, I currently own a Sennheiser HD 435 but I'm looking for an upgrade. Most of the time I listen to dance, trance and progressive but also Bloc Party. The HD 435's are supra-aural, but I think circum-aural would be more comfortable. Since they'll be used indoors I'm looking for open...

Thanks for the tip! The Nuforce Icon seems very nice, although the 2x 12W output seems a bit out of place. I think I'll need to do some reading on soundcards, DACs and (T-class) amplifiers to fully understand it though .

The soundcard is an external one, so there shouldn't be any electrical noise. Is there a pair of active monitors under €200 which you would recommend? By the way, I thought soundcards included a DAC so I wouldn't need an external one.

Hey all, I have a few questions to ask. My stereo (Philips FW-M777) recently lost a woofer which cannot be replaced. Now I'm considering to buy a pair of low-end monitors such as the Edirol MA-15D. Other speakers I'm considering are the Alesis M1 Active 520, BehringerMS-40, Creative...
