This will be my first post over on head-fi so I hope I'm doing it right.   So what I'd like to know is if I'll hear a difference going from a Asus Xonar D1 to a Schiit Magni (Or something else in that price range if its better). I'm currently using a pair of AKG Q701 headphones and love them...

Hi Head-Fi,   I saw this nifty old CD player (NEC Multipsin 6x) which I've done some research on it and it seems like a really cheap introduction into a audiophile grade setup. And before you say I don't need this as a source, I realize this, but I don't want to be tethered to my 3x3x1.5 foot...

First things first I already have the equipment to power these so I already have that covered . I'm just extremely worried about purchasing Used AKG Q701's from Amazon. Reason being I'm worried that I'll purchase fakes, and that will be bad because this is an expensive headphones to me. I'm...

Hey,   My HD 598's have been really great, I'm giving them away very soon though, so another headphone will have to take its place.   I've been looking around and listening to different headphones over the past few weeks, but couldn't a decision yet... These are the ones I'm considering...

Hi my friends, and thank you for helping.   Well, I just got my Q701 and my friend have a ESW9 yet. And we become lost when we look for the source and Amp.......... I‘m not the expert on these............ Before I got this headphone, I just own some AKG and Denon's portable headphones...

so my local best buy has the SRH750DJ shure headphones on sale for $90.  But im also getting the jvc harx700 shipped to me pretty soon.  Should i get the shure or stick with the jvc's?  These are the first headphones im getting and I don't really know anything about them.  What else can I do to...

So I've been looking for headphones that I'd use for both gaming and music at home (I currently have HD25s for on the go), and I have no idea what to pick :). I'm not too sure whether or not I would like open or closed, but I kind of want open because I need to hear if anyone is calling me...

Hello,   I'm just a little curious  about these AKG headphones.   Are the K501s more musical and less analytical  than the K601s?   I used to have AKG K701s and owned them for 2 years. They are good headphones, but too clinical for me. Not musical like my Grado SR80s!   I've...

Also, try to be realistic in pricing, don't choose only the extremely expensive ones. In no particular order:   Sennheiser HD 598 - Great for just about anything Sennheiser HD 25-1 ii - Portable, beautiful, sounds excellent Ultrasone Pro 2900 or HFI 580 - I <3 bass Grado RS1i -...

I am looking to purchase the Grado SR325i, as you may have guessed by reading the title of this thread.   My questions are: (1) Is this even the right headphone for me? I listen to mostly rock and folk (three of my favorite bands are Modest Mouse, Titus Andronicus, and Neutral Milk...

By 'amp not an issue', I mean that will not be a problem for me.   The headphones currently in my possession and not in storage are...   ER4S (nearly perfect, though could be a touch more liquid),   modified isolating HD25 (liquid, but a little uneven and not super tight or...

Hello , can anyone recommend a pair of headphones for Classical music.I own a Graham slee Ultra Linier Headphone Amap .Thanks.

I usually don't make threads. In fact, I always try my best to stick to past threads, or pinned collective threads to get my information. However, I really need your guys advice now. I recently took the plunge, and got the HE-500. Upon first putting them on, I was blown away by their sound...

A rep from a large online headphone retailer told me I could run a pair of AKG Q701s directly from my iphone.  Saying it wouldn't reach the full potential of the headphones but would work just fine.  Yes, no, maybe?

They sound amazing with the little fiio e6 i picked up for 29 shipped on amazon, its quite imperssive how much of a different there is. very happy. very very very happy.

I have been looking for an amp that I can use to drive a pair of AKG Q701's and a pair of AKG K 181 DJ headphones.   I'm looking to spend no more than $300, and would like a form if analog input (RCA) and a form of digital input (preferably S/PDIF). I'd prefer just a simple volume knob.   ...

I am totally green for Hifi listening, just got a Q701 and my main listening source is macbook pro, also have a ipod classic (160G), but mainly I use IE6 for my ipod, which i think it is fine even without dac/amp. Hence I want to ask you guys which amp/dac (portable first, desktop is fine) you...

I am about to pull the trigger on the Shure 940's, but I am wondering if they would sound good with music genres such as movie themes. I listen to alot of John Williams, Hans Zimmer, etc. Would the Shure 940's sound good with that kind of genre. If not, then which headphones in the 300 price...

Ok, first off I'm a headphone noob and currently using the m50's unamped on my iphone and macbook with 90% of my library being mp3 with the rest as FLAC. Having said that, I'm now obsessed with hearing my music to fullest and best quality.    What are the key differences between headphones...

Time and time again I constantly see Grado headphones being championed here as the quintessential de facto headphone for people who want headphones that are awesome for rock music.....and I read that the reason Grado do so well with rock is because they're a very mid-centric headphone with...

Firstly,   I recently purchased the Beyer DT-880 (600 ohm) and love them for what they do best, analytical and neutral sound, but would like a pair of complementary headphones that are just fun to listen to.   I've auditioned the Grado 325i and read various reviews. The Grado sound is...

It all reads in the description. I basically want open or semi-open headphones wich would have a good synergy with the hdp(wich i havent infact bought yet).  My price range is up to 300€ wich values a little below 400usd.

Hey guys,   I'm planning on getting one of these headphones and was hoping for some help:   HD800 vs HD650 vs Q701 vs SRH940   Was wondering how the bass of them all compare to eachother? For open backs, I'm using the HD558's right now and it's got the least amount of bass among all...

Well after my PS Audio Digital Link III arrived, i fell in love with HD 650s again, seeing they are capable of so much more than i imagined, i was kinda disappointed that i had already placed in the order for my k 701s, and felt that they would go to waste. boy was i wrong...   out of the...

thinking of purchasing the DT880 600Ohm version... Currently own a HP-P1 and a E7/E9 combo...   I generally use the E7/E9 for the desktop computer source but also spend time with my HP-P1 when i am commuting or not in front of my computer...    I guess my question is does these two drive...
