Hi all,   I was in the process of converting some of my old lossy AAC to ALAC and in quite a few tracks I noticed that I was very hard pressed trying to hear a difference between my old 160kbps AAC vs the newly recorded ALACs. This is listening through my Benchmark DAC1 Pre (USB...

Hey guys! I am new to this forum just wanted to greet you all. I have a question. I am about to purchase a pair of Sennheiser HD800's which I'm excited for, but I was wondering, are they good for their price, or is their better options? please let me know, and all advice would be appreciated...

Hey all....   Posted this a long time ago in the non-summit fi section but was told I'd get a better response in the summit-fi section.   What is the best closed form factor headphone one could buy that is excellent for electronic based music, my budget is $2k, and please no Denon and...

One question gentlemen:  Besides my "open headphone", I need to buy a closed headphone, just because sometimes I can not afford to have sound leaking to (or from) outside.     So.. I am looking for a very-high-quality Audiophile headphone with large soundstage and musicality close to an open...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a closed headphone. Closed cans have a lot of limitations, but people say that high end closed cans deal with these limitations in very effective ways, so I'm looking for one of those high end closed cans. My budget is 700-1000 dollars. I won't be walking around in the...

Review: Fostex TH900 vs Denon D5000 All my listening is done through my Fostex HP-A3 DAC/amp. I've owned the Denon D5000s for about 7 months and listened to them for over 1000 hours in that time period. I've owned the Fostex TH900 for about 1 month and listened to them for about 100 hours. The...

Sigh, idk why I am writing this but after reading so many posts I feel like I have to put my 2 cents about Beats, click away if you don't want to read somebody complimenting Dr. Dre.   The Beats by Dre lineup is just like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, or any designer clothes brand. You are paying...

I realy realy want to buy Denon D5000, i must have it :) But where do i buy one now that they discontinued, amazon and audiocubes japan seem to be sold out I don't like the new Denon line.   a UK store will check if they have them avaible but price will be atleast £600+shipping (750...

Hi, I'm in the market for a great, long-lasting pair of full-size closed headphones.  I've been browsing the Head-Fi forums for a while now and have gotten quite a lot of great information (thanks!).  After demo-ing a few models at a local pro-audio store, I'm left with a few questions that they...

Hello everyone, Long time lurker but rare poster, I made the life decision of skipping the next 5 upgrade steps and go to the end of the line directly and invest a big amount of money, so as to not have to worry about headphones for some years. After reading a bit, I think that the Ultrasone...

I've been using the LCD-2 rev2 with a Lyr (Lorenz tubes) and bifrost (recent) for about a year as my only real headphones. I've owned the HD800's in the past and really enjoyed them for the level of detail, soundstage, and space. I've kept the LCD-2 so long because they have great emotion...

What are the best bass headphones? This is the hunt for the "Top 10" Bass headphones on the consumer market. The list will be compiled and based on identical set-ups (or similar) and tracks with identical Eq sloping/boosting...

On Friday, May 2nd, M2man, AtomicBob and Barra had an opportunity to do a mini meet to listen to and compare a wide selection of the highest quality headphones on m2man’s very high end desktop rig. The main point of the meet was to listen to a borrowed OPPO PM-1. However, since we had a...

All four of these headphones have solid early buzz (okay, not so much for the AH-D400, but it still looks interesting).  Any thoughts on these or alternatives that would be great for every genre of music with solid bass and work as well portably and at home?  I know the Polk is now out; the...

Hello guys, I'm planning to buy a Fostex TH900 soon and I would like your ideas or recommendations on amp matching. I know Fostex TH900 is a relatively new product and not many people have heard it yet, but I hear from the high-ranking(?) members of Head-Fi that it is a glorious sounding...

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?

Hi all! I have a pair of Denon AH-D5000 that I´m very happy with, and they have given me several hours of joy. I´m still looking for alternatives though, not to replace my Denons, but because it´s fun to try something new. As I love the sound signature of the Denons, I´m wondering if someone can...

I thought I'd do a reboot of the Ortofon Hd-Q7 Desktop Headphone Amp as it hasn't got much love recently.   I've just put up my impressions of this tiny, yet performance amp and it can be found here :-   http://www.head-fi.org/products/ortofon-hd-q7-desktop-headphone-amplifier  ...

Hi,   I just come across this picture of a yet-to-be-released Fostex headphones today from a Japanese website. http://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20091102_326095.html   The headband structure looks quite similar to Denon D7000's and the wood cups have a special touch that...

Hello again! So this time I've come back and I am looking for suggestions.   I Mostly like to listen to screamo, dubstep, trance, and rock.   I listen to my headphones everywhere, especially at school so they need to be closed   Money is no object because if the headphones are that...
