I love my HD 555. I really do, even though the right driver has been noticeably louder than the left one ever since I purchased it (used). Since I only use it at home, there has never been much of an issue; I amplified the headphones with my Kenwood receiver, being fed from my computer, and...

For anyone who lives in the US you know its tax refund season, so I've got some cash to burn. I'm looking for some new cans and I wanted to know what people though of my first picks. Sennheiser HD650 and Ultrasone Pro900 I currently own a pair of HFI-780's and they treat me really well...

Hi, my westones 2 has given up the ghost and i do not have any intention to get them replaced under warranty. I am thinking of getting a new iem that costs around westones 2 's price range. Today I went trying out some iems at a local store. I listened to the IE7 and compared it to the shure...

Hi everyone.  I am pretty new to the idea of an amp.  Infact, I just thought about this past week and now I am here trying to learn.  I am not Audiophile by any means but, I have tried many components out over the years.  I use an ipod classic and an iphone and and imac desktop computer.  I did...

Hello,   I'm looking at buying some full-sized headphones. I have had several pairs that I have fit issues with (Koss UR-55 and M30) and don't want to have to keep going through the return process. I would like to demo some full-sized headphones before I buy them and was wondering if there...

Out of the four, which brand produces headphones with more of a natural sound?   AKG Denon Beyerdynamic Sennheiser   Do you prefer natural sound or fun sound?

Hi friends, Recently I've been doing a lot of research looking for my first pair of nice cans, I've only own iPod headphones up until now. Up until now I've been completely sold on ATH-M50s, but now I'm starting to second guess that purchase. I'm going to be purchasing a uDac-2 to convert and...

A couple a weeks ago a friend gave me a pair of fairly new  AKG K77 ( he managed to brake the cable and decided he wanted an "upgrade" anyway so he bought a pair of Sennheiser 555 ). Yesterday evening I finally decided to replace the cable on the AKG's and when I opened the up the driver looked...

Hi all, recently joined and was wondering if anyone can help me with some info on the AKG K160. I've done some searching on the net, but can't seem to find any info on older AKG models, I'm really impressed with how they sound and wondered when they were manufactured etc. Cheers Louis

Hello everyone, it has been a long time since I have logged on.  I need the head-fi communities assistance in finding a new headphone set.    I have been looking at different headphones...mostly sennheiser, and want them to be made in Germany or Japan and around or below 500 dollars.  ...

I've heard that Grado's are basically the polar opposite to Senns.   Then I read that Sennheisers are 'warm' and then read that Grado's are... warm??   How can warm be the opposite of warm? I've heard Grado's described as bright, but never cold. AKG's on the other hand are often...

as U see guys, i wanna Buy one Of them. i wanna Figure Out Which One is Better & more suitable 4 my iphone....And which one is valor! 

I got my new Beats Pro the other day after waiting an insane amount time for my amazon pre-order to process. I know that the studios get a good flaming here, but I feel like the Pros are a far better set of cans (I've listened to both, and I like the studios, but damn, these are great). As a...

Just got this vintage can by mail from Germany. Sounds good plugged straight in, but I'm going to take it apart and clean it. Pads are quite flat and the elastics dead as can be. I understand the pads are obsolete so maybe a little surgery with new foam is needed.     They look fine for...

I've been searching about holophonic sound for the last 7 hours or so and stumbled across this forum. Searched it and found talk, but no definitive answers. Here's what I'm trying to create... Holophonic recordings And along my searches I've found things about Holophone (seems to be...

I just purchased these, my first pair of senns. i own some beyers and AKGs. Even those these where discontinued a while ago, i found a store that had one pair still in stock. Bought them for 130$ Brand new.      These pair of headphones are exceptionally great! To my ears they have a more...

I'm wondering if others here can offer comments on a recent eBay interaction (it did not progress to a transaction!) of mine. Seller had an apparently low-hours AKG K 500 on offer, and I messaged him initially to ask about shipping charges to my location. Happy with his response, I wrote back...

is there any place that sells headphone drivers? just the drivers..

Hi, I've been reading these forums for a while but haven't posted before. I recently bought a pair of (used, obviously) AKG K500s as my first decent full-sized headphones after using IEMs exclusively for years.    The K500s are cosmetically in great condition. It's too early for me to reach...

I received AKG K242 HD headphones today and when I dissasembled them I was in shock because I expected different driver.   Looks like there is absolutely the same driver as in K530 Ltd. I don't know how they will sound because they need need burn-in. I wanted to give K530 to my mom so I...

Currently i own a pair of K701's and quite enjoy how they sound with almost any genre of music. I'm trying to get something that i can take to school, but they don't have to be "strictly portable", as long as the E7 will power them enough. i listen to mostly classic rock and a bit of metal.  ...

From my current sr125i's. Was looking at the Senn. HD650's, AKG's, and a higher grado model. ANy suggestions? Would be powered by PA2v2 for now but would probably upgrade from that upon getting new cans.

It says AKG K141 from the 90s. 

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...
