    best headphone without the amplifier?

    Hey all,   I'm wondering what would be the best headphone (preferably sennheiser) that would be used without driving with a portable amplifier? I am a newbie in this field but I know that higher ohm values, like 320Ω, would cause problems and user won't be getting the most out of it from...

    Best choice for a 250-300$ closed can?

    Greetings there,   A 'round a week ago i posted a thread in here, after reading reviews for not more cans that you can count on one hand, but it wouldn't take long for me to realize that there are many more headphones out there than I just thought. But since then I've read almost everything...

    fold-flat, full size, circumaural, closed headphone?

    Dear all,    I like my AKG K271, but for traveling they are a bit bulky. Ultrasone HFI for my taste earcups are a tad too small and bass too boomy.   Any suggstions?

    What to do with my akg k271?

    Hello!   A couple of weeks ago i found my old akg's lying around in a box. They hadn't been used for years and were in pretty bad shape as it were. But I figured I'd give them a chance since I remembered them as pretty nice sounding. So I ordered a new set of Velour pads (the beyer ones...

    Review: Bowers & Wilkins P5

    I've had my Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones for about ten days now so my review is probably a bit premature. However I am very impressed by them and so I feel motivated to actually write a review. Over the last six months I have been on many flights to and from Ireland using the nearest airport...

    listening perspective

    I am fairly new to serious headphone listening so please bear with me. I like closed headphones(don't know if that matters here), when I am listening I feel as if the music is on top of my head or that I am in middle of the music or both. This is opposed to when listening to speakers that I...
