Dear all,   I have the T50p and a smallish head (53cm) to the extent that I used to use the headphones fully compressed (ie no clicks downward on the movable band). Despite this it still wasn't achieving the best seal on a regular basis, being out by about 1cm over my ears. How to get a...

Hi all! I'm completely new to the world of high-quality audio and am getting excited about getting some IEM's or portable headphones for my  ipod 5g and my laptop. I listen mostly to a wide range of classical and some jazz and was hoping  that some more experienced members might be able to...

well, ive had so many sets in my time and really none of them made me truly happy, recently I recabled my grado 325i woodies and its been the closest thing to happiness i ever found, but i still find myself drooling over other sets and comparing those sets i do own or have owned to other sets...

Obviously, directly comparing these two and saying one is better than the other wouldn't be fair to either.  Since they are very different in terms of sound signature, I'm wondering if anyone with experience with both phones (like Skylab...but he's owned everything, lol) can chime in and give me...

need your expertise now.. and why?

I'm in a shared office environment now, and the person I'm sharing with coughs, a lot. So, the open cans I was using aren't a very good fit. The biggest concern is to block outside noise; I can always take them off if someone needs to talk to me. Also important are fairly deep cans that will...

Hello,   I have a question to the real benefits of a portable headamp. When I am talking about this, I mean a headamp without a built in DAC. In which way can a portable headamp improve the analog signal of the mp3 player? In my opinion there is maybe only a "killing" of possible noise by...

I have read a number of review.  Obviously headphones are ultimately a matter of personal choice with individual preferences leading to a final decision.  Here is what I have learned.  They all need to be burned in.  I will probably have my master re-cable genius at Whiplash (Craig Sanborn)...

This little powerhouse is almost unheard of here on headfi, which is a shame. Reviews online are practically nil*, and to the best of my knowledge ALO Audio is the only distributor in North America. edit: Headfonia posted a review a couple weeks ago: http://www.headfonia.com/ortofon-hd-q7/  ...

Thanks you for coming in,     I am in need of a portable headphones, I tried beyert50p and the ath esw9   The T50p was ok, but it is just not the cup of tea that i looking for , it does have really good comfort , but i can't really use it when i am walking.   The Esw9 that i got...

Was looking headphones for my wife and stumbled on akg 's new wireless portable headphone which looks like more refined akg k450 in design , driver specs differ a little. If they balanced low end a bit with good battery life it could be very good portable solution but in my opinion could be...

My HD650's have been sitting on the sideline for months and my six months rule (if i haven't used them for six months they go) has come into effect. I jsut wondered if the Alessandro MS-2's will be a step up form the HD650 or more of a side step?   I have to say looking at the portable...

Hey All,   Just a quick thread to see which you would pick as my next logical upgrade...   The FX700 would replace the Monster Coppers, and the Beyers would replace the Senn HD25 II (well, run alongside, I've only had the Senns since Tuesday lol)...   Both are essentially the same...

So there are a couple of comparisons in the t50p thread to the esw10. From my research the general opinion is that the esw10 is significantly superior to the esw9. does this mean the t50p beats the esw9? does anybody who has experience with both care to comment? Thanks!

I will be using these mostly on the go, unamped out of my iphone 3gs (i am entertaining a portable amp as an upgrade). I will also use them at home out of a mixer or an onkyo stereo receiver from a computer. I don't mind the bulk of the dt880 and i find them really comfy so I would only consider...

  I just ordered a t50p headphones from Ebay, anow i am thinking of getting a portable amp.   I do like ibasso 's product alot... should i wait for the D12?   or get others?

Between ESW9/ T50p ( may be ES10 is i can get more money)   which one is a better all round headphones? which one is more comfortable?   I don't have a portable amp right now, but i may get a Ibasso D12 in the future... which one should i get ?

the three headphones i have been thinking are T50p Esw9 ES10   I am looking for a portable headphones which can do   1) all kind of music decent 2) decent amount of bass, 3) even without amp, it can still shine 4) comfort is important, as my head is kind of big(lol)   plz...

I need some help deciding on portable headphones, don,t know which one to get what I need is, I need decent amount of bass my head is kind of bigger,comfort is important sound quality has to be good. Thanks Between this three I kind of like. Esw9 the look the most

I'm looking for a pair of top-end closed-back on-ear headphones to replace my Sennheiser HD25's.   - They must sound *very* good. Certainly better than the HD25's. I like a wider soundstage and a more balanced sound than the HD25's. - Price doesn't matter, although I like a good...

  Looking for a M50 sound with its linear prat and great body – just a little brighter in general + strong good highs (beyerdynamic 770), and more transient attack, a tad less wooly bass on my htc desire. I am after a portable headphone + large headphone with the described soundsignature. What...

Hi,   I'm looking for a headphone to use as an alternative to my monitors to analise and do some mixing. My budget is around $350.   Do you have any suggestions for a good set of cans?   Thank you.  

Okay, I'm relatively new to the area of hi-fi audio and whatnot, so I want to ask people more knowledgeable than I am... My dilemma... I currently have about $300 (maybe a teeny bit more) to spend on a great set of cans that will go with my iPod. And yes, I know that the iPod isn't the...

my budget is $50-150 im interested in fiio e7 and ibasso t3/t3d which has better sq and build quality? thanks

Both interest me.  Not sure which I would like. Anyone have direct comparisons to each other?  Wonder if anyone else is wondering the same thing.   I loved the T1 & HD650, didnt really love the k701 or the HD600. if anyone has some quick thoughts between those.
