Hi there, I will be in Germany at the end of the month and planning to buy an HD800 and/or a T1 with the new headband. Since I will be moving around, I do not want to buy online, and I know that these high-end models are not available in most regular electronics stores/chains. I also want to...

Hi   I ordered a Burson Audio HA160D since I could have a demo model at a good price and it seemed like a very good choice.   I am looking for a great headphone (preferable not more than 1200 dollars) to pair with it (for now I use the BW P5 on Ipod but I want something better for my...

My T1 is one of my favorite headphones ever. I like the Beyer sound signature (also own the fantastic DT 880/600 ohm and the DT 1350).   But when i watched some photos of the disassembled headphone, i noticed that the T1 has no dampening material, only plastic.   This is different from...

Hi,   here is my new 3-Channel Amp !   Based on the design of the Australian Engineer Howard Lee (fred_fred_2004) ! He sent me a second circuit board ,so i present  my first little DIY amp.... :-) made  for my "big" Phones like T1, Dt770 , HD600/650 , AKG K701... This Amp has very...

Hi All:   Anybody ever listen to a set of Grado phones with this combo?  I know it will drive the T1's and LCD2's nicely...how would it do with a set of RS1's?

Well after my PS Audio Digital Link III arrived, i fell in love with HD 650s again, seeing they are capable of so much more than i imagined, i was kinda disappointed that i had already placed in the order for my k 701s, and felt that they would go to waste. boy was i wrong...   out of the...

to cut a long story short, i'm now sitting at home with the SR225is on my noggin, listening to all kinds of music.   I went to the local electronics market in Beijing earlier on today, with the preconception that I wanted to try a number of different headphones, namely, the beyer T50p, the...

I started being interested in hi-fi ~6 month ago. Until then MP3 with standard iPod headphones was more than OK.   My current system is:   Source: MacBookPro + iTunes + Apple Lossless audio files DAC and Amplifier: Lehmann audio Black Cube Linear USB Headphones: Grado RS1i  ...

Hi everyone,   I've read through several topics related to "the clash" of these three headphones: Beyerdynamic T1, Denon AH-D7000, Sennheiser HD 800 but still not sure about...   Can anyone advise me which to choose for listening to a quite wide musical range from modern rock music to...

I'm starting a thread on the T1 channel imbalance issue from the "I hated the LCD2 thread".       I'll clarify things more in a bit. I'll also throw in a FR graph to show the differences better.

I recently bought a used T1 and am trying to pair it with a dac and amp or dac/amp combo at about $500-600.  What would be some good choices at this range?  Ive been reading about the matrix mini-i, nuforce hdp, and also how the valhalla pairs well with the t1.  Anyone have any recommendations?

Hey guys, pick your choice from the selections or post if I did not include your option. Remember, this is the one headphone you will have to live with for the rest of your life.

REVIEW: AUDIO-GD NFB-7 DAC   Intro:   I don't normally write reviews, always too many variables for a single review to be meaningful. My system,my ears,my tastes etc. etc. A review, in isolation, can never be taken literally as the 'truth', that's why I always give more weight to...

I'm planning a purchase, to get a set of cans I'd love to listen to day and night for years.  After an ungodly amount of research and objective/subjective opinion sorting, I've decided on the Sennheiser HD800s w/ ALO Audio Reference 8 balanced 6ft, now I need a solid state balanced amp and DAC. ...

Hey everyone, first-time poster, long-time lurker.  After much research and deliberation, this morning I ordered myself a WooAudio 6SE.  It's supposed to ship this week, and I'm pretty excited.  So now I need a good pair of cans to go with it.  I currently own a pair of Sennheiser 555s.  I've...

Hi Guys,   I am planning to purchase the WA2 for my HD800 and am wondering if anyone can give me some recommendation on tube upgrades. My budget is $1600.00 for the amp and upgrades.   Music type: Classical, Jazz & Easy listening     Thanks,   Tom.

I currently have the Luxman P-200 and looking for a replacement amp to drive my Beyerdynamic T1.  I don't think the P-200 has enough power.    I'm looking for a solid state amp and narrowed it down to two choices: SPL Auditor or Musical Fidelity M1HPA.  The Auditor is $100 more than the...

Hi there,   I have a conundrum. It's something that has been bothering me for quite a while now.   The problem is with my Sennheiser HD650. They are late model ones. The problem is this: Some days I love it, I can't imagine anything sounding better. Then the next day I will don my...

Hey all,   DavidMahler here.  Beyerdynamic sent over a bunch of headphones for us to try out at Headphones.com.  We were delighted.  The headphone which was the biggest surprise for me personally was the T5P. I have a soft spot for this headphone as I've simply never heard anything which...

i just bought some Bayerdynamic T1 600ohms i think the amp i have on my sound card is not enough that a xonar xense i have options to set it at 300ohms - 600ohms but maybe thats is not realy ''real'' in terms of capability but anyways i look for an external Amp there is one that is interesting...

I'm just wondering, as the HD800 has shot up from 1k3$ to 1k8$ at the moment, would there be any chance that the K1000's street price will climb up as well? At the moment they're at roughly 1k4$ right?

-Its bright -needs lot of burn-in time -its power hungry -its lacking in bass -it sounds "plasticy" -it sounds "chalky" -it has cheap cables -its made in china -it does not work well with tube amps -only poor people like it -it needs a $10,000 system -it can put a dent on your skull...
