I'm assuming based on what I have read about the Q701's, that they should sound somewhat like my beloved GR01. Has anybody heard both the Q or K 701 or 702 and a TWFK based IEM? Can anybody directly compare them? I'm looking for neutral, and detailed with good extension on both ends, but with...

Hey guys, my Q701s have just came in the mail today and let me tell you, they sound awful. The treble is way to much. It pierces my ears and there's no low end. The mids aren't even there.   My setup isn't too great. I've been using the AKG k271 mk2's for the past few years with the ASUS...

Hi! I'm seeking some guidance from you experts here.  I'm not really too knowledgeable or familiar concerning on/around ear phones - from the sound I should expect from a particular model, to model nomenclature by brand. I guess this is where you guys come in.   I take public transit/am on...

Hello everybody,   I've wanted to get some good open over-ear headphones for a while, but I'm having a hard time to figure out which one I should buy. I have an Objective 2 amp which I use to power my Hifiman RE-262's and seek to find a more analytical and neutral sound. The most important...

Hey! I've had my AKG K702's a while now and have taken the stock cable out a few times, although I tried to to take it out before and it just. will. not. come. out.   I've pushed the little button right down and tried to pull it out hard and nothing happens, I've tried to pull it like...

I would appreciate some thoughts on this rig I'm thinking of getting:   Beyerdynamic DT 880 or AKG Q701   Musical Fidelity V DAC II   Little Dot MK III   All these are around the £200 mark and easily purchased from Amazon I was wondering if you guys think this system would have...

Looking for sub-$300 cans, one each for the following two categories:   Vocals / Classical / Opera - Highs   Electronica - Lows     I'm thinking for the Highs:   ATH-AD900 or HE-400 or Q701   I'm thinking for the Lows:   M50s     Anyone see anything wrong with the...

I currently own a pair of Sony MDR XB-700s and I love them, but I want to invest into another pair of cans that are going to give me a much clearer response.  My budget is around 300 for headphones and I want a pair for gaming, studio reference, music and movies.  I've been looking into AKG...

So the title says what I'm looking for.  I listen mainly to classical.  I am currently using the Beyerdynamic DT 880s (250 ohm).  I use an audio gd dac/amp which can drive most headphones I think.  This is my desktop set up at home and the music is on my laptop.   So I know that the AKG...

Hey everbody, I'm looking for some good headphones and this seems to be the place to go. I've been looking in the $100-$200 range pricewise.  After reading some reviews around here I think im most interested in the audiotechnica ath ad700's or the ad 900's. Although I'm not sure if the 900's...

In terms of sound and value, which would you recommend? I listen mostly to dubstep and rap. I will be using them for gaming as well.

So I was a music lover for several years but never an audiophile due to both time and financial reasons. The best headphone I've owned by now is my AKG Q460. However, now that I've saved some money, I'm considering taking a step forward and purchase a hi-fi headphone. I've done some research...

Hi,   I'm looking for Grado phones!!   I've used Hifiman He-500 for just one week, actually i've used for less than 2 hours.   The reason why i sold He-500 even if i really liked sound of HE-500, It's too heavy for me.   I liked the sound, but it was so uncomfortable and heavy...

OK so I would like a "audiophile" system for around $600.   Will be used for FLACs from Foobar 2000 and Spotify.   Currently have ATH-M50 and Fiio E7 which I will keep for my portable rig with my iPod Classic 160GB.   Music tastes ranges from Rock, Pop, RnB, Jazz, Electro, Acoustic...

Well I'm sorry for starting another recommendation thread well I was just wondering what the best pair of headphones would be for me. I am an avid classical music listener I also like the bass to be present. I don't have a budget set in stone but I just purchased the monster Ntunes on...

I'v recently been looking around for some open-eared headphones and I've come across Grado. Where is a good place to start with Grado for under $200? If you could link reviews or give your own, it would be really appreciated. I don't exactly care so much if its on-eared or over-eared, as long as...

Alright, so i've been lurking around threads for a good amp for the Beyers but i haven't bought them yet because i can't decide which ones, main uses will be for listening to Rock, Pop, dubstep/electronic, and alot of gaming(all games, fps,rts,rpg,mmo,etc)i would say50/50 for between music and...

Hi everyone, I’m going to buy new headphones for listening to mainly classical and jazz music at home.  My budget is about 250-300 $ maximum.  I did some research and came up with a selection of six headphones (please feel free to suggest any other cans).    Beyerdynamic DT880 or DT990...

I was hoping for some help in choosing some headphones for a gift. Budget is $100-200 and as it says in the title the user has an Essence STX and listens mainly to Rock with some gaming and TV streaming too.   Any suggestions appreciated.

Looks like a nice price for the non-slimer green version:   http://www.techbargains.com/news_displayItem.cfm/317892
