Long time lurker and very recent member here. My current rig consists of the Xonar Essence ST, Matrix M-Stage, and Denon AH-D5000, a combination I got after extensive head-fi reading and have been very happy with.    Still I've got the feeling that the D5000 could use both a better amp and...

Anybody opened the plug or the wires of the AH-D7000? How many wires get to the 1/4"  plug ( can't open it, even I saw a picture of an open one online )  is it 2 or 4  wires? I need to replace it with a 4 pin XLR , but need to know if it's got + & - for the left and the right, that reach the...

I'm looking for new all-purpose headphones (gaming, music [pretty much only rock music], and movies) in the price range of like $200, though that's rather flexible. I searched for at least a couple of hours here on the forums, and a lot of people seem to recommend the DT series of Beyerdynamic...

(I know this review is pretty late seeing as how the new line of Denon headphones is almost out. I still hope this review is of some use to people, seeing as how there will still be a lot of old Denons going around. First review on Head-Fi...here goes)     Let me start off by saying that I...

Hi to all headfiers!   I recently use Fiio E9 to successfully amp my D7000 but have read some threads about the preference of low output impedance headamps for Denons. Can anyone advise me whether it's worth to try Fiio E11 (which meets this criterion better than E9), or not?   Thanks in...

My first post gets deleted due to linking to a site that belongs to a banned member. I had no idea, not a good start getting your first post deleted !   I'll try again...   I have read that headphones shouldn't be less than eight times the output impedance of the amplifiers phone jack...

forget it

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

       (I barely like them over the RS2, and by barely, I just put them on the other day and had to tell myself I didn't like them a little better for the sake of my credibility)   This is what my head looks like.  ;)    Ok I'm just going to say it, I'm bored of the neutrality that the...

Hello!   So Ive currently had a Argon HA2 DAC + Denon AH-D2000 setup for the last 2 years, and therefore looking for an upgrade.  I do not, unfortunaly, have any knowledge about headfi so I would like to get some help! My budget is max 2000 bucks and I do not mind buying used gear. ...

What is your favorite headphone? I sadly dont own a pair of headphones . I own the UE TF10's though. and I love them 

Hi All.  Up until recently, I was pretty happy with my headphones setup.  I have a pair of "modded" Senn HD555's (supposedly turning them into 595 replicas), which I've been pretty happy with.  Sound is good, comfort is pretty phenomenal, and they don't necessarily require external amping to...

Looking for a high-end set of cans that would be optimal for the trance genre. I have no budget, looking to spend a minimum of $800, but would like to see suggestions in the thousands. Some cans that i remember but havent looked too far into are audeze lcd2 and lcd3 and ultrasones signature pro...

I've been looking into the Dennon d7000's or the Audez LCD-2's and I would like to know if the Fiio E17 amp would work well with them? I would also appreciate it if you could recommend other portable amps (<$250). I will also be using an iPhone.

Hi guys,   I am planning to buy a good audiophile headphones and have finalized to AKG K702 and Senn HD 598, both being in same price range. I have heard great reviews about both both have great sound quality overall, accuracy, soundstage and are super comfy. The difference I have heard and...

*Disclaimer: I am not a true audiophile (although I definitely appreciate high quality reproduction of sound!), and these are merely my opinions. I'm only writing this review due to the lack of coherent information and mixed criticisms I found on the forums. I had a lot of help from other...

    I am writing a short review comparison of these 3 world-class headphones since I am listening to them all at once right now, and I believe this will be greatly beneficial to many people here who are looking for taking the "leap" into the 1k$> headphone range (in the case of D7000, 750$)...
