Don't read anything below, perhaps only the introduction if you'd want to do that. Otherwise just see my latest post, thank you.   Thanks for the help, I'm going to a audio specialist within 1-2 weeks, so I don't need any more help for now. I would like to hear some opinions about the...

So, I'll go right to the point:   Grado's PS1000 or T1 'Tesla' from Beyerdynamic and why.   Please, post your opinions, specially if you heard them both actually!   Thanks.

Hey everyone,   I know that an upgraded cable can lower distortion and increase clarity, as well as prevent external interference with the signal.. BUT, does re-cabling a stock K701, T1, HD800, etc. make THAT big a difference?

Hello     I find, now that I have the buget, that it’s time to take my music experience to another level. I like to enjoy music as well as to “analyze” it. So I want a headphone that is good at both, but that is also very good with all types of music, scales well and is comfortable to...

Hi all. First of all, let me quickly introduce myself. Im a 26 yr old who has just been bitten by the audiophile bug a few days ago. I took study leave(im a doctor) and spent all that time researching the net for pre-amps, amps(tube vs solid state), DACs(and do i really need em?!?), sources etc...

Hey Everyone, I'm a novice to audiophile and I'm trying to get a nice sound after all ^^ Current Rig: Headphones : T1/ED8 Dac/AMP : DacMini Source: MBPro   Genres: Trance/GeoTrance/Rock   I have made a to buy list but I need your advice on it or If there's something can add...

I've discussed with peers whether this post belongs in the sound science forum or here, and I decided to post it here for the following reasons:   This study is really about the subjective experience first. And how objective measurements back up those subjective experiences rather than the...

forget it

Currently my squad on Ghost Recon Future Soldier is ranked 3 so we are talking about going competitive; this in mind what setup, no matter the price, would you recommend for competitive gaming? Would anyone recommend?   I did think of getting a MixAmp Pro just because it can do 5.1 but are...

Have aiaiais but it has veiled highs and is to bass heavy. Any suggestions?

So, I recently bought some HD650's, and a Burson Audio HA-160DS Headphone amplifier / DAC to accompany them.   After a few days of on-and-off listening, I'm feeling a little disappointed. I've been listening through my iTunes Library, trying out all different types of genre, but I'm just not...

Hello everybody !   I just order 2 week ago my new Wa6se and i feel really confused about which headphone i need to choose with it . I really want to have your advise. I'm really interested by the Sennheiser hd800 or beyerdynamic T1 (more because their are made in europa and i live in...

Hi all,   For the longest time I have sought out how to properly dampen the inside of my T1. It sounds really darned good when not dampened but always had a slight bump in treble at certain frequencies that gave the headphones a resonance with the cup it's in. The back of the inside of the...

Hi,   I'm looking at getting the Grado PS500 to pair with my Asus Xonar Essence ST card. I own the Senn PC360, Westone 4 and Bose Quiet Comfort and Bowers & Wilkins P5 so as you can see, I'm really new to high end headphones. Despite doing research online, it is hard to actually understand...

From my limited experience I find headphones that grip hard are uncomfortable. Although they may sound good, certain folks may not be able to listen to them for long. Perhaps it is not so much on the clamping force but the whole thing sticking to the head like a parasite, or the pressure that...

Hey,    How is everyone doing this friday?    I've had the HD800 for a few weeks now and long story short, I'm loving the sound.    In only a few months, I've owned the Grado SR80i followed by Sennheiser HD650, then Hifiman HE-500, then Ultrasone Edition 8 and finally Senneheiser...

In the review below, ASR mentioned that the HD800 and T1 do not perform in the $1k category of headphones. Since the thread is locked, I would appreciate if ASR or anyone can recommend headphones that perform at their price point. Are there any headphones that sound almost similar to HD800 or T1...

Today, I decided to pop down to a friendly headphone store near my place to try out a couple of headphones that are possibly the "flagships" of the various popular headphone brands. In this exciting new journey, I briefly listened to the following headphones and thought that maybe I could give a...

Just curious to find out what everybody else is doing in this respect. I usually tend to position my volume between 9 and 10 depending on the song and recording quality. I understand that a good headphone should sound good at low volume but in my experience I find myself turning the volume up to...

This is kind of a follow up to my thread at http://www.head-fi.org/t/608458/integrating-headphone-amp-to-home-cinema-system-pre-power-amp-discussion.   I am the proud owner of some T1s, and I was amazed that people in the thread ^^ suggested plugging them into my receiver output.  From what...

I will get the chance to audition these three at my local shop in the next week where the T1 and LCD2 are priced $1000 and the HD800 $1200. I will be listening 90% of the time through an iphone (320mp3) and ALO RX mkII and 10% of the time through a Cyrus CD/ Amp output to the ALO (the Cyrus...

I have come across so many people who, like myself, own and love headphones from both of these excellent companies - Grado Labs and Beyerdynamic - so I figured it was time that we have our own thread. Of course, now that I say that there probably won't be anyone who posts here, but I KNOW YOU'RE...

Hey guys,   I've spent the past year and a half or so enjoying listening to powered studio monitors and portable cans here and there and now I am seriously planning of returning to the full-size cans game.   At the moment, I have the Beyerdynamic T1 on my wishlist as I've been thoroughly...

Hello there, i need help on choosing my next headphone since i'm gonna sell my Momentums, which i didn't like and don't think are an "audiophile" hp at all. I listen to Rock, Metal, and occasionally Eletro music. I Would like a headphone with good detail and soundstage and with strong bass if...

Hey guys, I am currently using a pair of Beyerdynamic DT990's + Xonar Essence STX with swapped op Amps. I have been looking at getting a Burson Audio HA-160 to amplify them. However I have also been harking back to my Old Audio Technica Ad-700's and just how comfortable they were. I know they...
