Hello there,   I am in the market for a neutral, closed, and sealed pair of headphones. I am not looking for an overall upgrade, just to fill a small gap in my collection. For the record, I will mostly be driving these from an Asgard connected to a Bifrost, but also will occasionally be...

I currently own an M50 and love it - I even prefer it over my TF10 and its currently my favorite headphone. So, I've been wanting to pick up a Beyerdynamic T50P for portable use - would the sound signature/quality satisfy me, coming from the M50?   Also, I should add that money is not an...

I think I'll be purchasing a pair of Denon D5000's soon. Amazon' price has gone from $483 to $478 a few minutes ago. They also went from 17 left in stock to 16 to "in stock". I read somewhere that this series has been discontinued...is this true? Should I pull the trigger now and get one before...

These are awesome headphones!    With that said, I'm selling mine. Just put them up on eBay. Check them out....

I've been enjoying SM3, UM3X, EX1000 and FX700 and am considering venturing into full size phones for $400 usd.   Can an Ipod Touch and a portable (which ones) amp work well?

I just joined head fi and I'm a bit of a noob compared to most here so please excuse any dumb things I might say. I'm currently using my V-Moda Crossfade Lp's. They're good, but I'm looking for an upgrade. I mainly listen to rap and rock, with some metal and a little bit of pop. The lp's are...

What do you usually use expensive audiophile headphones for? Do you use it to listen to music at home or for monitoring, recording, using it with your guitar, etc. I used to own a pair of beats studios to a point where I started finding it really uncomfortable. I sold them and was planning on...

Hey guys I know this has been talked about a lot, but I couldn't find much about the particular amp I had in mind, in relation to these headphones.  What do you guys think of the Headstage Arrow 12HE 4G for the Denon 5000?  Any other amps you would suggest in that price range?  (Wouldn't wanna...

Has anybody else had the same experience: After trying them 'all' : HD600 Sony MDR-CD3000 AGK 701 Grado 325 Sony mdr sa5000 Denon ah d5000 the circle ends with HD600. If they still produced the sony cd3000 that would be my 'final' solution. p.s. 'only' stax experience is missing

Current setup:   MacBook Pro>Fiio E7>D5000   or   MacBook Pro>old Pioneer receiver>HD 598   What would you guys recommend using to amp the D5000s and HD 598s? I particularly like the bass boost on the Fiio E7 for the D5000s and sometimes HD 598s. I really don't know a thing about...

I'm looking into getting a pair of headphones for someone as a gift. I have Beyer T70s ( which I love), but the intended recipient thinks they are too light on the bass side. I'm not really up on whats available on the bass line, but am looking for a closed can, around the same price point or...

Has anyone tried this? Just a thought is all dont know about the dimensions of either also. Just checking to see if it does work and the sound difference if any.  Thoughts?

for the past year ive been using Sennheiser EH-250 - a cheap pair. I use them for making music, producing. so hearing all of the sound is very important. Accuracy and quality is must. but i also want some bass booming. I'm fairly sure i can get some very quality headphones (over ear) for 500...

Anyone know where in the Chicago land area (I'm in Hyde Park) I could demo a pair of LCD-2s. I'm trying to decide if they are worth selling my HD-598s and Denon AH D5000s (I love them both a lot) in order to pick up. Finding a cheap, used pair of LCD-2s is also proving to be a challenge...

Hi everyone I am looking for a new pair of headphones for mainly metal and some rock, I listen to mostly black/death metal.   I currently own a pair of DT990 600ohm and are using a Dacmagic and M-Stage amp. I really like these headphones for movies, games etc.. but when it comes to music...

With the recent discontinuation of the D5000 / D7000 and the newly introduced models, I'm sure most of you have noticed that the only place to purchase, for example, the D5000's is through Amazon now, and they've gone up in price by almost $200 (550 total).   This has all happened within the...

Hello everyone,   This is my first post but I know this community has a vast amount of knowledge. I'm asking this question in hopes of tapping just a bit of that knowledge  I appreciate any help and advice in advance.   I have recently bought a new computer which includes the xonar...

Could someone describe the bass on the LCD-2 for me. I've heard them before but I wasn't able to listen to much. I'd like to compare the bass of the LCD-2 to the Denon AH D5000. Will the LCD-2 still have the same "rumble" effect if I watch movies with large explosions and what not? In what ways...

Hello Head Fi'ers   Anyone who has owned the D5000 and D2000 are they really that much different?   Are the D5000 really worth almost double the price?   I was thinking that as they have identical drivers is it not possible to just EQ the D2000 to sound like a D5000? For example just...

Looking at the graphs it has the same response as a lcd2. Obviously as a potrable its not going to be anywhere near as good or powerfull. Don't really want a dark headphone or to upgrade all my stuff just to use it. Something with deep presant bass that isn't overpowering. The 1350 seems just...

Just wanted to point out a not very well known site that i think is great for buying headphones. They have very good prices, especially on the refurbished phones. Refurbs are essentially new, but much cheaper. I got my HD428's for $24 and love them.   No, I'm not affiliated with them, I just...

Dear List,   Greetings, this is my first post here, G8 forum and I'm taking baby steps in learning the stuff in here. I have recently got my  Burson HA-160D, and currently hunting for nice headphones, with limited scope of auditioning. I cannot check all the great stuff, hence my hunt is...

I'm looking to upgrade my HT headphones.  I have some Sennheiser wireless headphones, but am planning to go with wired headphones. I would appreciate any recommendations.  Thanks!

i would like movie cans that make you feel like your in a theater. i also would like to hear things in the distant you would not normally hear and hear voices clearer also in the distant if they are in the background or not on screen.       i watch most movies on my macbook at home so i...

Well, Hi Folks! This could be quite a long post, so please bare with me here. Anyways, back in 2010 when I was looking at something worthwhile to spend my tax return on I happened to stumble upon this site. I'm not really sure what made me want a pair of nice headphones, considering...
