Hello everyone, I'm quite new to head-fier. I have a problem on choosing amp for my audio-technica ath-w1000x. I am interested in several amps. 1.Little do mkIII/ IVse 2.Schiit asgard/ valhalla 3.audio-gd C2C 4.Dark Voice 3322/336se   These are amps that i can find in the store near...

Hi all,   Open or closed doesn't matter, they are in my range of budget. I mainly listen to pop, rock, RnB, hip-hop. I prefer forward sounding mids (front rows), lively treble, and adequate bass as to complement my Sennheiser HD650.   Any opinion/experience of these two cans? Anyone...

Please recommend me full-sized headphones that can play great WITHOUT expensive amplifier, DAC/source. The headphones themselves can be expensive. I just want to keep my system very simple and convenient, even at a cost of not getting the optimum performance. Thank you!

Disclaimer: a number of people have asked for comparisons, especially in the bass region. Skylab is the more competent one to do this review, as he has more experience and better gear. I am also waiting on my Meier Concerto to do any thou rough comparison. This is for your reading pleasure and...

EDIT: Sorry, this might read more like a journal entry than a review... Anyhows, here it goes.   Who: Newbie here who only listens to music while in front of the computer. The only dedicated portable music player is a 10 year old Creative brick that only plays MP3s. However I bought myself a...

I like my WTH W1000 headphones a lot as they produce a very good even balanced sound, would it be a worhtwhile upgrade to change them to the WTH W5000s?

Already owning the Gilmore Lite, which does the W1000s no favours, what's the best amp for these cans to bring out some bottom end? Perhaps I should move this thread to the amp threads?

Hi All,   I recently won some Audio Technica ATH W1000x headphones in a competition and having failed to sell them (exchange rates made it impossible to get a decent amount for them), I have decided to keep them.   However, I have two issues now...   1. Does anyone know of any good...

Hi all, I have some ATH-W1000X arriving in a day or two (totally psyched)  and I am wondering which amps you all would recommend   My price limit is around $800 though if i can get away with fantastic sound for less I would be happy to. The ones i am considering so far are the Decware CSP2...

Ladies and gentlemen, i am looking for a pair of headphones. The riddle is what headphone fits all of the criteria listed below!     Can be worn around town. They don't need to look good, they need to stay on without putting me in a vice grip   Over ear is the desired style, this is...

Does anyone use a full size speaker amp to drive headphones? I recently pulled my Pioneer SA 9500 II out of storage and it sounds pretty good with my W1000s.

Hey guys, so I mostly use IEMs with the ATH-CK10s being my choice.  I'm looking for something that has the "Audio technica" sound, that is, more emphasis on mids and highs.  I mostly listen to vocal, classical, pop/rock with female singers and electronica.     Can you guys recommend me...

I've been out of the portable game for a long time (Been sticking to my ESW9s for a while, and before that I had no portable setup at all.)   So I'm looking for a pair of budget IEM setup with a very luscious and full sound that can handle a wide variety of genres with authority. I'm not...

I realized that I love the sound of my W1000 over any of my other headphones. I just love the way they do vocals. I am wondering if anyone has experience with the headphones I mentioned and could enlighten me on how they sound.   I am incredibly picky about natural sounding vocals that is...

Hi all,   I just caved in and bought a pair of W1000x headphones for myself on a recent holiday. It's a wonderful pair of cans to my ears and I have only praises for it.   The problem however, is that I auditioned these headphones with the Luxman P-1u. Obviously, if I actually had the...

Some time ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find the big Best Denki ("Best Electric") in the city had a dedicated high-end headphone listening table, including a Luxman P-1u, AT amps and Yamaha and other SACD players. The current round of headphones present on the table were: Denon D2000 and...

Just got my W1000X today.   Is my head too small or it just fit loose on your head, I can't move freely....is there anything I can do to fix this problem.   My other questions is, it sounds to me that the mid range is kind of laid back, is that how it supposed to be? Or could be a...

Is there any mod that can be done to give open phones (thinking of HD650 in particular) at least some isolation without ruining the sound? I keep trying to find closed phones that I like (mainly to block out the noise of my refrigerator), but so far none even come close to the awesome sound of...

Hi there, I've been browsing around online a lot and looking to upgrade from my current headphones that I currently have (ath-m50). Looking for a great sounding quality headphone, audiophile level, to use with just my iPod or phone as I usually do my music listening on the go. I had my eye on...

Just figured this stunningly beautiful headphone needs it's own thread! They came out with almost no info available, very limited impressions, and a high price tag with a lot of competition. However, those who took the risk (and the plunge) were greatly rewarded. This headphone is a work...

EDIT - this thread started with the message below.  I ended up choosing to buy Smeggy Made Thunderpants, and after posting some photos, this thread sort of turned into a Thunderpants/ortho, and other random bits of quality cans discussion.  It doesnt really have a specific direction anymore, and...

  Quick note: In case you're wondering why I started a thread on this: I was one of 4 people whom Jude contacted to ask if we could continue posting to our Head-fi blogs post-software change-over.  As there isn't any blog software presently, our blogs are now forums.     It's always...
