    Grade gs1000e or rs1e?

    Looking to step up from my older grados into the woods. how does the the RS1e compare to the gs1000e? What would gain -or expect- going with the higher priced gs1000e? From what I have gathered- the stage is better on the 1000's but the RS1 seems to match it everywhere else.

    Can anyone recommend a replacement ear pad that will fit the ultrasone pro 550? I tried the Beyer 770 pads. The pads are perfect but they are too big for the cups.

    Did Ultrasone remodel their line?

    I was just in B&H Photo and demoed a pair of Pro 900's. I owned a pair 2 years ago before selling for the home Theater friendly HD598 I could swear the 900's look and feel different....? They seem a bit smaller and lighter. The color also appears lighter.   They also sounded better...

    Home Theater use Beyer DT990 or Ultrasone pro900?

    I have an old Pioneer wireless headphone amp running off my Rotel. It's a wireless system- but the included pioneer headphones are a big large and the signal cuts out too often.   It has a 1/4 output for a second set of wired headphones. I have been plugging in my Ultrasone pro 900's and...

    I have Ultrasone pro900 for music. Looking for a good headphone to use with home theater movie viewing. I tried the 900's and they sound nice, but I think I want an open back for this. I'm considering the Ultrasone Hfi 2400's or Sennheisers HD 598. Also consider the wireless Pioneer's. Any...

    Ultrasone HFI ear cups size smaller than the pro900?

    I have a pair of Ultrasone pro900 for home use. I would like to get a headphone for travel. I have used the pro900 for travel in the past and they are a tad too big and heavy.     I would like to stick with Ultrasone. I am curious if the HFI 780, 680, or 580's would provide a more...

    For the past 5 years I have been using bulky Pioneer wireless surround headphones. (The older D-2000 system- no longer sold) They are a bit heavy- but the sound is incredible. Last night they stopped working. I changed the battery, etc- but nothing helped. They're dead.   The Pioneer...

    Beyerdynamic ear cup cushions on Ultrasone?

    Does Beyerdynamic sell their earcups separately? And would it be possible to swap and clip them to a pair of Ultrasone Pro 900's? I realize this may alter the sound somewhat- but I am looking long use comfort.

    I use the pro 900's at home. Curious to the 15G's as a walk around pair. I worry they might be a tad too thin sounding. Anyone try them?

    New Ultrasone pro900?

    I noticed on B&H that they have the Ultrasone pro900 listed and they also have another pro900 listed as "to be released soon" Is Ultrasone releasing an upgraded version- or is this just a misprint?

    Any opinions on Pioneer headphones?

    I have the wireless set and they are great. Just curious if the Pio's are any good for walk around/travel phones. I currently use Ultrasone pro900. For some reason they have begun to sound muddy.

    Sennheiser IE7 or Shure 530?

    I bought the IE7 a few days ago and they are the most comfortable pair of IEM I have ever worn. The sound good, but not as good as I thought they would. (I could still return them and get the Shure's for a $100 more) How do the IE7's compare to the Shure 530 in sound and comfort?

    Ear pad stitching on ED9?

    ED9's: I just noticed the Stitching on the left ear pad is uneven. The right side is uniform all around. The pads fit on the ears fine- this is a cosmetic issue. Just curious if others found this slight flaw in their pair.

    affordable amp for ED9

    I currently have my ED9's running through a RS Predator. I use this with my macbook and it sounds pretty good. But I read that desktop amps will sound better. I searched amps for ED9's and most suggestions were well over $1,000. I can't spend that much. I thought about the Woo6- but read that...

    Can someone explain what OTL means?

    I searched and just found out it means the sound will be lush and the tubes will get very, very hot. true? Anything else I need to know. I'm considering one of the Woo Amps and one is OTL and the other is not.

    ipod into a Woo Amp?

    All my music is on HDD- but I would like to try a tube amp. Does it make any sense to ran an ipod into a Woo Amp? I found a LOD with RCA outs that I can use to patch in. or would I need a DAC?

    Re-cable ED9's- essential?

    I'm considering a re-cable on my ED9's. It's not cheap and while I got a good deal- the ED9's were not cheap so, A few concerns: The ED9's already sound great- (but of course I want them to sound as good as they can)- how much of difference can I expect? If the improvement is...

    Bought the iphone thinking it would be best to have all my gadgets in one machine. Yet- there's still some things I miss from the classic ipod. The iphone is cool for talking and web stuff, but I don't it think it makes a great music player. How does the new ipod sound? battery life?

    Short in cable or connection?

    I have a Predator DAC/AMP. Using it with a pair of ED9's. I have to use a phono to mini connect with the Predator. I have to jiggle the cable/connectors to get sound to both sides of the headphones to get a good feed. Since I have only used my ED9's in this configuration- it may even be the...

    Stello DA100s not much difference?

    Just received a Stello DA100s. I hooked it up via toslink to my Airport express and I'm running it into a Rotel 2 channel system with B&W speakers. The system sounded quite good without the Stello, but I bought into some hype and I am considering a tube headphone amp in the future- so that's...
