Ahh thanks a lot. I am mainly trimming down the upper mids I would say. Most of the head response functions have a really high 3k spike that sounds unnatural to me, and perhaps my ear shape contributes to that. I wouldnt mind more sparkle in the upper treble (7k+) though. I also own a pair of...

Hey guys, I am currently looking at the HD700 as an upgrade to my HD650. I am pretty satisfied with the sound signature of HD650, but not entirely. I listen to my HD650 on foobar with +3db@55Hz, +1db@77Hz, -1db@1.8k, -2db@2.5k, -3db@3.5k. Would anyone with both chime in if the HD700 would sound...

hey germania, after reading this thread i've started thinking ways to improve the soundstage on my beloved ES7. I know u have said that this mod on ESW9 relies on its wooden cups, but is there any other ways to achieve similar goals on ES7 which has plastic cups? Also, what are the function and...

What do you guys mean by the UE 700 having a "dynamic" sound? Does it mean that it has a smiley face frequency response?

Skylab, how does a fully burned in RX900 compare to your previously reviewed D1001? I'm deciding between these two as I've heard that the RX900 should belong to the $100-150 league in terms of SQ.

ES7's bass is not weak at all, its actually above average, but certainly not enough to satisfy bassheads. I would recommend ultrasone HFI-780 eardrum-vibrating bass. It has so much low bass that my ears got bass-fatigued (as opposed to treble) after 30mins of hip-hop/rap listening.

I'm also torn between the 700 and the 900. What if I plan to mod? I know the drivers are a little bit different from each other as indicated by the impedance and sensitivity, but the extra "acoustic lens" in the 900 are better left unscrewed, from someone who actually did the mods. Anyone here...

I'm interested in knowing the "line"-matching volume on the Zune 80. Any ideas?

Can anyone tell me what is the reason for using EVA instead of other materials? Like dynamat or other stuff?

how do the c-jays compare to ES7 and D1001 in terms of sound quality?

Loud music definitely gives me fatigue, but a lot of highs doesn't. I love the high-end sparkle in ES7 and ER4P/S, they give me enjoyment rather than fatigue. I can listen to them all day long =).

Can anyone describe the sound signature of icon mobile after burn-in? And any comparisons between this and the T4?

Although I do not agree that setting up a simple numerical scale would be any more beneficial, I do agree that all the comments about headphones are personal tastes. There are a lot of canalphones or IEMs that get a lot of praise here, like the denon C551 or C751 or AT CK7, but after I tried...

Not to hijack this thread, but can anyone here describe the sound differences between the ESW9 and D1001? and maybe recabled D1001? I've read here that someone claims to achieve 90% of D2000 with recabled D1001. I'm interested to know the differences, also I thought this might help OP make his...

Got a general question about these impedance adapters here, do these adaptors change the sound of earphones/headphones in the same way, given that they are the same type, like for all the balanced armature 'phones or all the dynamic driver 'phones?

HeadphoneAddict, have you heard the SE420? how does the nuforce compare to them? Recently I have got the chance to listen to a pair of SE420, and I find them very rich and musical, so I'm curious how the NE-7M stacks up against them.

I am very interested in the NE-7M, as HeadphoneAddict rates it above the C700, and i prefer a slightly emphasized bass, but the included microphone which i dont need nor want is keeping me from pulling the trigger, i really hope that Nuforce would release a NE-7 without the microphone soon >.<

I have recently bought a pair of ES7 and currently it has 130 hours of pink noise on them. The mids have really smoothed out when compared to right out of the box. However, I find that in songs that have a lot of cymbals, the ES7 sounds congested in the highs, and it has less detail in the highs...
