Hey guys,   Ive been looking at a few threads here and there, first time posting. I've just been using stock ipod earbuds and razor moray? earbuds, I have a Corsair HS1 PC headset at home also.   Im looking for something dedicated to my music (ipod touch4, or PC) I listen to a...

With only a few more days in 2007 left, I thought I'd put my audio experience acquired over the past year to some use to share what I think are the best of the best for headphone hi-fi. Not all these products came out in 2007 but all are still available on the market. These are, of course, my...

Note: original review here (posted on 2006-07-28) was adapted and revised into my inaugural review for StereoMojo.com. 2012-11-13 update: StereoMojo review cross-posted below.   Intro High-end headphones aren't the kind of products that typically get updated every year - usually, more...

So since I have both a K701 and DT880 (2006 model) right now, I thought I'd do a head-to-head review of them, on a song-by-song basis. So this is going to be the kind of review that compares headphones against actual music. CDs and tracks are named within the review. I tried to use the most...

Hey everyone, I saw the SRH 840's and the HD 598's at the same price in a nearby store yesterday and I'm wondering which one would be better suited for my music style. I listen to a lot of rock and pop, a bit of metal, and sometimes electronic genres like house and dubstep/drum & bass (The...

I am just starting to get into high end head phones and I need some suggestions on what to get by someone with more experience with them. I need good flat tonality no odd dips here and there. Decent transparency would be nice. I am only looking to spend 400 dollars or less, I have heard good...

Recently got some akg q701 and loving them so far.  I am an amateur producer mostly using beyerdynamic dt880 pros as headphones and sometimes my krk kns 8400.  However I use my monitors as much as I can which is the preferred way.  Still I wanted some new headphones so I picked up some K240S and...

I'm considering getting a pair of DT880s and was wondering if the metal badge could be easily removed? I think it would make them more handsome as I find the font on the badge to be particularly annoying. I tried doing a search but couldn't find anything.   Thanks!, Michael

I've been spending (way too many) hours going through the forum to identify the best full-size headphones for classical music...while staying under the $200 price point.   The Beyer 880's are high on the list...but there is a discrepancy I'd like to understand.  The Premium sells for almost...

I am looking for audiophile grade headphones to be used with gaming, movie viewing, and music. I have a few questions that would help me pick a set. I will pay a lot if it is worth it. Budget is up to $500, preferably much less however I would spend closer to $500 if iy made a difference. I...

HI,  I've posted in the recommendations thread several times and have also spent a long time over the past few months researching. I'm getting stuck though and the person who's gonna be buying me new cans wants to know what I want reasonably soon. I'll go through what I want out of these cans...

So the cord on my DT880s broke two days after I got my first tube amp and now I'm going through head-fi withdrawal.  Wouldn't be such a big deal, but the factory service shop is closed due to being located on the Long Island Sound (not that my headphone withdrawal compares to the nightmare that...

Originally I've come to seek guidance on my first pair of entry level audiophile headphones. I've yet to make a purchase, but with the budget I've set for myself I've decided I was going to buy the Shure Srh 840's with a portable amplifier, and then later on purchase something with a bit more...

I understand that with closed you get really good bass! which is great in games like call of duty etc when someone throw a grenade right at you! and you feel the explosion!.   With open headphones I hear people mention about better soundstage, so I am guessing this makes the environments you...

I tried some grado's out the other day expecting them to be THE headphones for rock and metal, but my surprise, I strongly disliked them. I have to admit they make guitars sound great and upfront, but there are just some other things just kept me from enjoying them. First off, they just sounded...

My Current Setup:   Currently I am using the onboard audio from my motherboard (Asus Maximus V Formula NO THUNDERFX).  This is usually hooked up to my speakers (Logitech X-540) as well as my headphones (Sennheiser HD280 Pro's). I hook up the headphones to the front panel usually, and never...

Hi all!   I am looking for a little advice really on my first pair of expensive headphones. I currently own CAL!, XB500 and D1100. Out of those I like the D110 with a little EQ the best. The reasons being that I like the non fatiguing sound signature, and the extreme comfort I get from them...

Hey peeps,   The more time I spend here the more I really want to try a beyerdynamic.  History: started off with Senn HD598, then moved to Denon D5000, got the Ultrasone HFI 780 for portable use, loved them so upgraded to Pro 900. I just sold all my headphones minus the HD598 and Pro 900...

The title pretty much says it all. Amazon has the DT880 at $249 at the moment and I'm thinking of buying it while the price is still low, but I'd like to know if my Fiio E17 portable amp will be powerful enough to drive it. Any takers?

Hi,   I got a DT880 and HD600 for classical music only. And I am considering an AMP for about $800 (500 to 1000,cheaper will be appreciated).   Looking through several amp:   Little Dot VI (balanced output is attractive)   SPL auditor (a little expensive)   beyer A1 (heard it...

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...

Title says it all.   I have been pondering over this for a few days, its for a friend, I suspect and AT or Beyer is the solution, and I am not familiar enough with those brands.   Criteria: Circumaural - comfortable Atleast decent isolation (leakage not an issue) pretty much drowning...

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...

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...
