I have an e17  + (z2300 amp) so I can get good volume but nothing EXTREME so it would be nice if the hp's you recommend me don't need EXTREME amping, but mention them anyway   I'll be upgrading from my current sony xb700, i like their sound signature quite a lot so i'm basically looking for...

mad dogs possibly with velour pads(or dog pads)? anyone had any experience with these, from what i've heard mad dogs will need a decent amp unlike the k167... but im more interested in their sound comparison

So Ive had dt770/80, xb700 and the ie8's.. i ditched the 770's a while ago because they just didn't hit the spot with regards detail/clarity.. sounded a bit blunt tbh.. then i switched to xb700 which were good  for a while and then finally one day I tried my ie8's on the computer and despite...

I'm 100% sure its not the cables.   these were working perfectly fine last night, yet tonight I randomly notice the problem. Could driver damage happen so spontaneously in such a short period of time? There was zero physical strain on them from last night - tonight.. so the only possible...

So I just found a very old pair of TDK ST-200BK, some random $20 headphones and I've came to the conclusion they have massive impact bass....  KEEP IN MIND I replaced the original earpads with some xb500 cushions i had lying around since with the original earpads the headband pressure was too...

The combo has to be a total of $600 and this includes the used price in FS section as $600 used combo MAY be much better than new combo for $600.   Priorities   1. overall sound quality, it needs to sound like a high-end headphone transparent, great clarity, non sibilant 2. good bass...

I have ie8 with cowon d2 source i was wondering if an amp would offer a noticeable improvement in the sub bass area as im revolted by the min 80hz on the eq node on cowon d2, if it does make considerable difference which amp would you recommend 1. it has to be very portable/fit in jean pocket 2...

~$150 price range     1. Soundstage (good separation/spacious)/non-sibilant 2. Decent bass, able to go low/sub bass 3. isolation enough for bus rides 4. good fit, doesn't irritate/fall out   any other suggestions are welcome... please let me conclude and choose one to buy this...

Soundstage(separation)/sub bass/isolation.. how do they compare?   Does silver bullet fall out of your ears if you move since it seems pretty long..   Any other recommendations are welcome ~$150

My last thread wasn't very successful so ill try again    I had Re0, Fischer eterna rev1, DDM in mind.. idk   i just need an IEM that has sufficient isolation for bus rides and 1. spacious soundstage 3d/imaging 2. defined/detailed bass that can go low 3. low sibilance and decent comfort...

Priorities in order from most to least important    1. decent noise isolation  2. vast 3d soundstage  3. deep bass  4. comfort  5. build quality   max $150 or around     thanks a million

I've already tried J river media center DSP, SRS Sandbox (WOW HD) which are decent and a few others that I didn't really like   I don't want an actual equalizer with manual adjustments for different frequencies because all of them that i've tried if you turn one up alot more than the others...

xb700 has   -nicer soundstage(imo) -more friendly clamp force -better drivers (doesn't distort at louder volumes or make funny noises at very low frequencies) -can go deeper -about the same bass impact -less sibilant -better mids   keep in mind i do eq my gear.   but come...

its ok guys, i found it was a fake, a pathetic attempt to make it look genuine too, it's just a xb500 with fake drivers and xb700 written on frame instead of xb500   this enrages me how can he have 98% feedback, only ONE other guy  called him out and i didn't read that until just then  ...

randomly thought i'd check the prices on these and i saw   http://cgi.ebay.com/M-Audio-Studiophile-Q40-Studio-Monitors-/280530916478?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item4150f2147e   30mins left!  imo if you can get them below even $100 its a great deal, try up it by 10 last on...

<$400 budget im down to these. The main thing im looking for is a airy 3D soundstage with great imaging/positioning so not only width, true 3d. In addition to this I am looking for the most transparent/least sibilant pair which will go perfect with techno/trance.   I hear the ultrasones are...

I have decided i'm willing to spend up to $400 max, sorry for creating lots of threads my priorities have changed and so has my budget.   Here are my priorities, the list IS in order from most to least important but they are all important :)  I don't mind if its open or closed, YOU CHOOSE as...

I have beyer dt770/80 and i want to turn them into darth beyers, can i pay any generous head fi'er to do this or what are my options to get this done cheaply? I live in Australia(perth) so i can ship it and they send me back darth's? Im mainly looking for the large wooden cups and if the...

Reasonable cup size, bass ports. I use a beyer dt770/80 ampd with eq which offers DEAFENING amounts of bass and i decided to block out one of the bass pots and the bass significantly deformed sounding masked, blunt, bass extension hit rock bottom, it became dull quantity reduced.This wasn't a...

What's the cheapest store located in Australia to buy headphones from? suggest several if there isn't a main one with a wide range.   So far the only worthy store is ebay which is a pain because you have to pay alot for shipping but still has way more variety and even a better price even...

Whenever i turn up the bass on my dt770/80 with my bass EQ, not in all bass frequencies but certain frequencys(low)/songs in addition to the teeth rattling bass a very noticeable high pitch vibrating rattling can be heard from the right driver   and don't tell me not to use a bass EQ...

for <$300 What's the most 3d, breathy, airy, transparent, realistic(good soundstage) headphone. I want interesting  mids/highs which aren't too harsh or sibilant for techno/trance.I already have dt770/80 for my bass music but i don't want it to lack bass, i want balance but bass isn't priority...

Anyone heard these two and can make good comparison of them? interms of soundstage/bass etc   thanks
