I should add, that is reputable to purchase from.   Thanks

Which do you prefer and why?

Thinking about picking up a pair of DT880/600, but I know that they need an amp to sound best. The price ($300 shipped to Canada) is already pushing my original budget beyond what I hoped to spend, but I figure they are probably worth it instead of buying something cheaper (like the SHR840s...

Thought some might find this interesting. I measured these shortly after I received them, and again today... I've probably put close to 200 hours on these.   I've mentioned in other posts how break-in seemed to smooth out the highs and bring up the bass. It's interesting to see it...

So I am new to the whole headphone scene, but as in everything I get into, I kinda go overboard.  I bought 2 headphone last week, D2000 and Grado HF-2. And amps for each one ( KICAS and MAD Ear+) When I was looking for a Headphone hanger I ran into the IKEA hack and decided to but some furniture...

I really want some good headphones and need some help finding them. I'm looking for accuracy over color for now, preferably open headphones, with lots of depth and a very good, wide soundstage. Clear treble, not overly bright and deep bass, but not head thumping, no sort of bass boosting, I...

Hello, I have a Yamaha RX-V793 receiver. I have a set of Boss speakers for movies, and custom built speakers for music (both connected to the receiver). I also use Sony MDR-V600 headphones via the receiver's front headphone exit. My input is an ADI AD2000B sound card onboard an Asus P5Q...

I'm planning on keeping the SA5000, but will be replacing the Sennheisers in my collection because their sound signature isn't really to my liking.   I'd like something similar to the SA5000 in sound signature (fast, detailed, clear, somewhat bright) but more natural sounding. I'll be...

I'm buying blind, and instead of getting one pair of headphones and hoping I'm not missing out on better competition, I am going to purchase two competing (performance wise) pairs and demo them for a week before deciding which to keep.   The thing is, that I've only been able to narrow my...

  Prologue : I had my Sennheiser HD330's for about 12 years and bought them doing an A/B testing of under 99$CAD at the time. Until recently, they were the best sounding headphones I tried. They are now broken and the cushions have literally disappeared under the fabric (!?), repairs fees...

Is there any way I could tell a pair of DT880's impedance just by looking at it? Are there any special marking on the cans that indicates that? The reason I ask is, if I buy a used pair online and it doesn't come with a box, there is no way I could tell if I am really buying a pair 600ohm...

Are the differences between them *that* significant to warrant this course of action?   Or are they just very slightly smoother (the "it's night and day" claims being audiophile exaggeration)?
