Hi guys,   First question is easy. A friend of mine (and a fellow head-fier too!) recently offered to sell me a  AMB M^3 Stereo Headphone Amp which he built himself for $400. Was wondering if this is a good deal and if people can offer their impressions of the amp.   The hard part starts...

I'm about to purchase my first set of real headphones -  i have some livewires but now i need something else... I watched a review on youtube for some Grados and one of the reviewers said because there is no cover on the outside grill, to the outside world the music you are listening to...

Hey guys, I found this forum when I was looking for an alternative to the HYPED Monster Beats phones. Suggestions to try the Ultrasone HFI-580's kept popping up, I scored a pair, and I'm in LOVE.   Now, I'd like to expand and experiment with some open headphones. I listen to a random mix of...

HI,   I'm looking for a pair of new headphones and i arrested myself in two modeles:   AKG Q460   Audio Technica ATH ES-7   I can't choose between those two because i like the look of the AKG but i don't really know how about its sound..but i listen to hip hop and electro music...

There are already a lot of pics posted of various headphone drivers in different threads, but this thread is intended to consolidate them all into one thread. That way we can analyze and spot driver differences or similarities between various headphone models and brands. So if you have ever...

Need help before I purchese new headphones 1) Sennheiser  HD 238 2) AKG K518 P Is one better then the other?  

Well, I'm stumped.   So lurked around her for awhile and happened to come across that large list of 131 IEMS and such and...well...look at the title... It seems most of them usually have slightly enhanced bass, which is good. so here comes my specifications: - comfortable ( 1~2 hours...

I am looking for an audio store where I can audition high end headphones by Senn and AKG. Does anyone know of a store like in this in the Chicago/Northwest Indiana area? I searched the forum, but the last thread like this was from 2004. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,   I really liked my Grado 225i's when I fist got them but now i'm bored; and i'm embarrassed to say that in some ways I actually prefer my Panasonic  RP-HTX7's :O   They're crisp but I just don't enjoy them, even after taking really long breaks from them, I have started listening...

The last thread I had asked for gaming headphones without any budget. I would like to keep the budget under $400 since I wouldn't want the headphones I game with to be better than my HD 650s, or else I would always want to listen to music on them. So for that reason I would say under $400. I...

After reading all the great things about the LCD 2 headphones I'm contemplating purchase.  However the foam on the under-pad of the headband worries me as it looks like it will fray and start to chip off after some time.  Has anyone figured out a MOD to solve this problem?  Perhaps a leather...

Just curious, for anybody who has phones over 1K or a setup over 2K, what cheap phones do you use? What do you use when you are on the bus or doing housework? Are there any cheap headphones you think punch well above their weight? For myself, I listen to the Grado SR-60i all the time. It's the...

I have read through many, if not most, of the meatiest AKG 40x through 70x threads here, and am leaning towards the 501s (or possibly the 601s) as the phones which strike the best balance between affordability and suitability for the purpose for which I intend to acquire them (if only...

Well its been a while since I was here and things have changed since my Senn 497s died on me :(   Anyway I am back in the game. I just hit the purchase button on the DT235 with a Sansa Clip+,  and a PA2v2 amp from Gary. From all of my research, I hope this combo lives up to my expectations...

Got some AKG K180's from a friend that moved, basically brand new in old box. Are they any good, I know they're quite old. What would they be worth?

 Any one know where to get these?  Lot's on eBay, but I can't ever tell if they are threaded on the inside.   1/8" from the headphone jack to the amp at 1/4".  Like this one, but the left female end has to be threaded:  ...

Hello there,   I am currently searching for headphones for general home use from laptop. I would like some sound isolation so that I don’t disturb those around me.   I listen to a wide range of music such as rock, hip hop, classical, soul, dance, rnb, pop basically a wide range apart...

A buddy of mine had a set of these lying around, so I borrowed them to check them out on my setup.   FWIW, these things actually don't sound all that bad at all.   Just curious if these cans are at all similar to any of the present day AKG lineup...?

Hi Guys, Has anyone heard some of the latest offerings from AKG? http://www.akg.com/personal/In-Ear,p..._psmand,1.html The specification list says they are based around a dynamic driver. The design looks new and fresh. Feel free to post! Cheers, Frederik

I was in a mobile telephone shop today when I saw these portable headphones I know of the K420,430,450,480. I sometimes use the 450 for portable use, I actually like their sound, can't exactly say why, but they do something for me.   Anyone has experience with these K460's? Are they new...

I've been a big fan of AKG's over sennheiser & Audio-Technica. I wont say AKG is better then those two though, just for what I like most cans fit the bill with them. I've been looking for another set of AKG's since im currently in Germany & the prices are dramatically lower compared to home...

Hi, I am looking for on/over ear headphones for use with portable devices (an mp3 player) with the best audio quality for around 100$.   I currently own RE0, and really really love their sound, but there are times where IEMs do not serve me right, so I am looking for something that do not...

Hello Headfi community bit of a lurker, coming out of the shadows. I was wondering if you could help me identify these headphones. This is me as a wee lad and I'm interested in what exactly I've got on my head! Any help would be great. About me, I'm not much of an audiophile but...

I am looking to replace the drivers in my Sony V150 headphones, I want to learn a little about the basics in headphone mechanics. So to do so I am going to replace the crappy V150 drivers with something better. I am thinking something that could be bought at a best buy such as some Koss...
