I am doing some searching on this Fostex T50RP.   Apparently, there are two versions of this headphone:   1) normal one 2) the one with Improved Transient Response   I know that for the former i need to do some mods. How about the latter ? do i still have to mod it ?     And if i have...

Hey everyone i want to make my own Headphones but where can i buy some Headphone Drivers thanks for any help as i love making things and making my own headphones would be fun, i know i can just take some drivers out of headphones but was just wondering if i can just buy the Drivers somewhere ^_^...

There's just too many apparently good headphones on the market. The more I read review the more I'm lost. I listen to almost everything, tho I'm a bit rock/metal biased. I'm not bass-shy, but I like it tight and controlled rather than booming over everything. I don't know if I like neutrality or...

New job, and new rules for me. I'm 40 years old and going to join a bunch of younger tech savvy hipsters that all look sooo cool. Office rules say that listening to music with cans must not bother others and is a aign you want to work in privacy. So in this setting I need overears a) with...

Just for Wualta, here's a few pix of my Sansui SS-100 "Omni-Dynamic" headphones. I'm not too sure what year this model was produced and would appreciate any info that head-fiers could contribute. I'll post some impressions as the novelty wears off my new AT706s. Cheers.

I'm looking to get the Stax pads for my T50-RP's, but they have two very similar models on their website and I can't figure out which ones are the ones people have been using to mod them, I'm leaning toward the $160 one as the correct ones but I'm not sure.  ...

Hello, everyone. These arrived yesterday, but I was unable to listen due to getting oral surgery that day. The suspense has been killing me, so here's a review. The retail price for these headphones, with leather headband, is 315 265USD directly from MrSpeakers. Normally, I would consider this...

New to the site and I have a quick question. My father is a custom furniture maker and we have decided to use the speakers/electronics in a pair of headphones to make a custom pair of wooden over-ear headphones. Is there anywhere to find a how to or tips and best practices. He has and incredible...

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...

 I am in the market for something new. I am torn between the LCD-2/3, HE-500 or the HE-400. I have recently been in a closed Headphone stage with my last couple of purchases, but i am ready for a new open can. Any input would by greatly appreciated.   I am a closet basshead no doubt, but i...

Any one has both? How do they compare? I realise one is open and one is closed, but they cost about the same and the only thing that matters for me is sound quality. Specifically, with regards to their scalability to higher end amp and sources in details/texture and transparency.   One has...

Hello.   I am looking for headphones with are closest to LCD 2/3 but cheaper ( ultimately i am going to buy LCD 2 or 3 but for now i need replacement ).    I read that Mr Speakers Mad Dog can do the job.   I live in Europe so it would be good that headphones were available here but its...

Is 28 Awg too thin to recable my T-50rp's?  What would the difference be between the 28 Awg vs thee 22 Awg I have usually used for full sized phones?  I was planning to use the 28 Awg for my IEMs, but I don't have any more IEMs and I would like to use it for my new T-50rp's.  Please post your...

Hey there, since it seems no one has really posted anything on the subject i thought I would start a thread, and hopefully add my impressions as soon as i get mine.   But basically, please tell if you tried it, how it sounded and what it did for the TPs compared to SE :)  

I'm looking for good bass headphones under $100. While I'm not a huge basshead, i do listen to electronic and hip hop and rap so I figured that a bassier headphone would suit me more. Of course, I don't want to sacrifice highs and mids just for lots of bass, I would like a good mix. I've been...

I recently bought a pair of K702s with a cable upgrade for $250 and am loving them but I've been reluctant to plug them into my Schiit Valhalla before I did some research (hopefully I'll get some answers here).   I understand that the K702 is quite power hungry although at only 62ohms but...

Just bought Grado SR 60i and can't believe what I have been missing all these years by using really bad headphones  Wonder how much the sound will become better after break in 

to cut a long story short, i'm now sitting at home with the SR225is on my noggin, listening to all kinds of music.   I went to the local electronics market in Beijing earlier on today, with the preconception that I wanted to try a number of different headphones, namely, the beyer T50p, the...

i got the thunderpants t50rp the hd650 and the denon d5000  what is the best amp under 300$  that can run them great , 

I know this is probably a stupid question but how is the midrange clarity (transparency) of the LCD-2 in comparison to the ATH-ad900? On a scale of 1-20 rank the clarity (transparency) of both.
