I was listening to Krystian Zimerman playing Chopin's piano concertos, and I found that I enjoyed the music much more with my equalizer set like below. I'm wondering if there is some other headphone that would sound like this without correction.   Otherwise, I love my sennheiser hd 380...

Hi, I am looking for an amp/dac to use with my fostex T50rp headphones, they are quite power hungry   I did have a Black cube linear but had to sell it to buy something cheaper, and now i miss not having that great life like sound.   I have a cambrige audio Dacmagic but will probally be...

I know I'm going to be destroyed by this topic, but I need an honest answer. And do not give an opinion if you have not tried both headphones before. I don't want to look at 30 biased responses saying "Razer makes mice not headphones so these are bad". I don't need to see that, so if that is...

Hi everyone, I'm finding the highs very harsh on all of my headphones and I'm looking for some closed cans with recessed upper mids and highs (from 6/7khz to 14khz; I can't hear above it). Some kind of non-audiophile cans maybe. Budjet: 150$ max. Something relaxing and forgiving on...

the linearity of the Ety's i just bought make my AD700s sound like crap. switching back and forth between them, the colorations are painfully obvious. so i need some flat fullsize cans.    one thing i considered are the AD900s, according to headrooms graph, they are much closer to flat then...

No, this isnt a thread about Yugos - sorry to get your hopes up :)   I'm putting together a review of the iBasso P4 (with stock opamps), and my 'biggest' headphones are the PL50s at 55 ohms (wow..) - the rest are 16-32 ohms, although I still maintain that you need more than a DAP to drive my...

So, after doing a ton of research I'm wondering if there's a consensus that the ath m50 is hands down best set of headphones under 200?

Hey Guys,   So I love my Fostex T50RP's but the only problem I have with them is that my ear touches the driver. Are there any other earpads that would fit these cans? Something that would push the driver further from my ear?   Thanks,   Blair

I've always wanted to try an orthodynamic headphone like the LCD-2 that everyone seems to rave about, but I just don't have the money to drop $1000+ on a headphone (I got my current Sennheiser HD 650's on sale for $200).  What's the best (if it even exists) budget orthodynamic headphone out...

Looking to pair a good set of IEM's with my new iPad 2 for travel. Isolation is important. Currently, I have a set of HE-6's at home and a set of Fostex T50RP's at work. Right now I have the Apple BA for travel, which are decent, I guess. I just borrowed a set of Shure SCL-5's from a friend, and...

How did your IEM journey start?   I grew up with music, playing music & enjoying music; went through a period of car audio obsession (it has settled into an 'interest' of mine) & learned to describe tonality & sound impressions through several instrument purchases.  I hadn't thought about...

I have been looking at different headphones for a few days now. I have found that the AD700's are really good for the price but I heard they lack bass. I haven't heard to much on the A700's or PC 360's   I am not into competitive gaming but I would like to be able to hear everything that...

i'm considering moving my listing setup to my bedroom, currently setup is audio gd dac-19mk3<c2sa<hd650, i'm afraid the leakage of the open cans will lead to the vast disapproval of my wife. as you can imagine i'm looking to switch to a closed can, but do not want to replace my amp- any...

$73.95 Free shipping Conus. I have ordered mine, have you ordered yours?

Blech! Very fuzzy and blurry highs, lumpy obnoxious midrange, and the bass response must be an option that I forgot to request. I am going to let them break in for awhile before trying to listen to them again (and I never do that with anything). Maybe a miracle will happen. I was...

Hello everyone,   I will be ordering a Decware CSP2+ in the near future, and would also like to upgrade my headphones. I was looking at sets in the mid-300 dollar range. I currently have some Denon HP1000 and Audio Technica AD700- overall sound is decent, but I found it particularly...

I'll be buying studio headphones to record audiobooks: a flat, revealing midrange is thus my priority. The headphones should be closed or at least semi-closed, to prevent leakage into the microphone during tracking. I already own a pair of Etymōtic HF5, but they're fidgety to put in and keep in...

Hi, im looking for some headphones that sound good with acoustic/ live recordings. Just acoustic guitar, piano and vocals with maybe a light beat to it   My amp and source is a Lehmann Black cube + DacMagic   I have upto £300 to spend and was thinking of buying Sens HD650 or the Fostex...

Hi guys,   I basically grew up listening to the K340s, which I still have and love. However, I'd like to have an alternative. Because I'm not a wealthy person, I'd rather have it for under $500...   Now, the way I see it, the K340's treble is unsurpassed by any dynamic, and having grow...

As you go higher in the chain of high-end headphones, bass becomes a less prominent quality. Completely understandable, as high-end headphones are expected to generate a neutral sound (Interestingly 2 out of the 3 HP's in this thread are modded).. Though many of us would prefer the fuller, more...

Hey all, I purchased my first "real" pair of headphones 2 weeks ago when my steelseries headset broke :( I decided to get a pair of Sennheisers since I've always heard good things about them, plus I had bestbuy giftcards :D I enjoy them for music listening, although I'm no audio expert. But...

Out of the four, which brand produces headphones with more of a natural sound?   AKG Denon Beyerdynamic Sennheiser   Do you prefer natural sound or fun sound?

I was going to pick these up and use as a PC gaming headset but every store I try on-line is out of stock. Have these been discontinued? If so can anyone suggest another set? Primary use will be gaming and listening to music on my iPod. Budget around $150   -Thanks

Are there any reccomendations for headphones which emphasize the mid range and roll off the highs and bass?

So, I haven't posted here in a while, but I came back to sell my K1000s and to get a new pair of headphones, as I'm in a little bit of a squeeze.  And I DEFINITELY need to find a replacement for my 'value level' cans.  (Currently using a pair of Senn PC151s as my portable/backup cans)   The...
