What are the most upgradeable headphones. The Denon's have the J$ pads, and markle mod; and the Sennheiser's have all those cable upgrades. What do you think?

Now when i am ready to sell my headphones, should i ( pick only one):   1) Buy a pelican case, and sell them in that or...   2) Sell them with all original packaging, no pelican case

Even at first glance, it can be glaringly obvious that Head-fi in general isn't a fan of Active Noise Canceling Cans, and there are valid reasons for this; for one, the active NC module is prone to creating noise and distortion in sound on its own, and for two, there simply aren't too many good...

Ok, I am a bit seasoned with IEM (have UE customs and Weston 3's).     I am looking at getting a set of cans in the price range of $200-350.     My requirements - I will be listening to these at work via an ipod or laptop.  No amp.  I am tired of taking my IEM's out when someone wants to...

My C&C XO just stop working a few weeks ago. the red bulb on the right is always on. The red light should turn on when the the input volume is way too high. I try everything but it always turn on with the red bulb on, which it will not produce any sound. I really miss the amp as my denon D2000...

Hi, I am fairly new to all this, but I recently got me a pair of Denon AH-C751 canalphones and am pretty pleased with them, however I was wondering if someone could recommend a portable amp to use with them? The source is my iPod Classic 160Gb, using mainly lossless audio files. I would...

I recently got the C710 as a replacement for my dead C700.  The cable on the C710, as has been mentioned many times already is quite flimsy which I do not mind as long as it's working.  However what I do mind is the fact that the left/right split is very low (around my belly button and I am...

Hello all,   Yesterday I ran into a problem. It may be big, it may be small, I don't really know. However, it is a problem. The thing is, that my Denon AH-C710s were beginning to have wax buildup on the tips, so I decided to take some cotton swabs and clean those tips. The foolish part is...

I just wanted to take a moment and recognize Jeremy (JMoney Audio) for his work on the new Denon ear pads, they are really a nice piece of work. I had purchased a set of the Beyer ear pads from Jeremy previously, and ummm...liberated (!) a V3 headband for my 1000 Grado's from Craig at...

  The left piece of my Denon C710 randomly died on me the other week. I was listening to music on the train and it just...died. Right side is working fine though. What can I do with it? Can IEMs be repaired? Thanks

I need a pair of IEM's for use on my motorcycle, I will be using my Nano as a source and I wear a full helmet. I need something that will block out outside noise as much as possible as I do not want to have to turn up the volume to dangerous levels in order to hear the music. Oh and did I...

I would like to upgrade the cartridge on my Technics SL-B3 turntable.  The Denon DL-110 and DL-160 both received excellent reviews boasting their superb quality to price ratios.  Both are available online for about the same price, although the DL-160 is the ostensibly higher-end offering.  Which...

  Eyecandy courtesy of Polarwarrior     DDVX also has another version of the mod located below.   First off, I’d like to give credit to the original creator of this mod, Polarwarrior, and the original thread starter, Ultra-Harmonics. The original thread is located here.   I’ll...

Hi guys,   About a year ago I bought a pair of Denon D2000s with a Total Bithead USB amp/DAC on the advice I received from people at the forum. I use this rig for at work listening only, about 3-4 hours a day. My previous system consisted of Sennheiser HD201s straight out of the sound card...

So im looking for headphones. Originally I wanted the k701 or sennheiser 650, but then I found out I would have to invest in a good amp to truly appreciate those headphones. So I started looking at headphones with low impedance cuz i guess that if a headphone has a low impedance I wont need an...

Hi!   I am looking for a new full sized headphone and am looking for suggestions.   Necessary: I like "thumping" bass, I for example like the Denon D2000 but it has "flubby" bass. The ATH-ES7 has better bass, but it could be even punchier :) It should be suitable for outside use. So...

Well, Joker was kind enough to comment on a M9 review give away that MEElectronics was doing.  I signed up and got a pair to try out.  MEElectonics is not a company I've ever really looked at.  I knew they existed, but I just never really payed attention to their products much.  I know some...

I didn't want to start a new thread but after having asked this question in two (what I thought were) appropriate threads over a week ago, I haven't heard a peep. I searched in the forums and have read the odd comment from someone saying they're enjoying it with their Denons, but was wanting to...

Hello everyone,   I am kinda new to this hobby. I currently own HD580s (600 grill and 650 cable), MS1is, and ESW9s and love them all. That being said, the hd580s sound pretty different from the other two. As for the MS1is and the ESW9, while the MS1is is being more aggressive and the ESW9s...

 I'm looking for a new headphone at the price of approximately 150$ (though I'd be willing to pay a little higher for a considerably better quality).  I don't really mind if they are close or open. My top priority is the sound quality, as I mostly listen to pop, dance and rock. My source is...

Hey folks,   I'm looking to make an upgrade from my Sony MDR-7509 and Cowon S9 that I currently use when traveling. I bought a Beyer DT880-32, which sounds OK out of the Cowon, not great. I was able to hear the DT880 on a Hifiman HM-801 and was much more impressed with them, but I still feel...

I'm looking for a solid amp/dac recommendation for my LA2000s.  I will be using it out of my laptop.  I would like to spend under $500.00. Any advice/guidance/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

TL;DR version (because I know how repetitive these threads are)   $210 max Headphone: Denon D2000 Source: Laptop / iPod (via LOD) Desired sound signature (yes, I know amps are supposed to be neutral but...): Slightly softened treble, elevated mids (hopefully to compensate for the...

I owned the beats tour by dr. Dre, as well as some koss headphones and I really want to step up. I listen to a lot of heavy metal and electronic music, which I love the bass kick of the drums and the bass crash of electronic music, yet still appreciate crisp highs and mids. Looking for a good...

It would appear that the wire within the right ear piece of my daughter's Denon 751 headphones has comes loose. If it is wiggled about it starts to work. Does anyone know where I can get it fixed in the UK and approximate cost?   Thanks
