I think my AKG K340 headphones sound great with my circa 1984 yamaha A-1000 Integrated Amp.....(This is the old A-1000 Yamaha amp, not the newer model 1000 DSP yamaha amp...) When using the K340s with the amp, the volume knob on the amp is very sensitive, i only have to move the volume knob a...

Hi,   I'm new round here and after searching the forums for the last couple of weeks I am about to pull the trigger on my first decent headphone purchase. I was all ready to buy a pair of senn hd650 until I realised that they were no way going to suit my needs. I am going to get a pair of...

Hello, I am trying to find a good pair of closed ear headphones. I mostly listen to hip-hop and sometimes techno. I want a good set with just enough bass and crisp sound. The headphone buying guide doesn't really have what I want so I want your expert opinions on what I should get. They will...

I know that there are more highly rated headphones in the $300 price range here, but none of them can easily be auditioned. I have heard the p5 and think that they are wonderful sonically and comfort wise. Plus they seem to be pretty compact for full-size headphones. I do feel that they...

Hey all!   Looking to buy myself a new pair of headphones for everyday ipod use, as well as some audio recording (mostly film, but some music too). I've pretty well narrowed my choices down to two pairs: Sennheiser HD 428 link to amazon page and Sony MDR7506 link to amazon...

Hi guys This might sound stupid as, but I want to purchase a pair of Sennheiser HD650's and mod them to be closed. Reason being is I want them to be slightly more portable, and leak as little sound as possible. The reason I've chosen 650's is that I've heard the bass is nice and punchy and are...

Hello everyone   I am looking to upgrade my current headphones. I have 2-3 years old pair of HD555s (modded of course) plugged to a Titanium HD. I want the headphones mostly for music, since the only game I pretty much play is Starcraft. I listen to pretty much every music style possible...

Hello,   Anyone heard about fake/counterfeit Pioneer HDJ2000 headphones?  I see prices from the high rated, high volume selling Ebay sellers for $350, then I see a few of them for $80.  I would lean on the side of caution, but I just wanted to know if anyone has had any issues with...

Hello,        I'm sort of new to the whole Headphone scene. For years i've just been running around with the standard ipod earbuds, but just recently purchased Beats Solo HD. They were basically just temporary headphones until the next paycheck comes in because I didn't have enough funds for...

Hi guys I've been stalking these forums for quite some time now looking for guidance in making (in my sad opinion anyway) a big decision of whether or not I should purchase the Denon AH-D2000's or not. I have done a ridiculous amount of research and reading on these to the point that my stomach...

I own a pair of Sennheiser HD650's; what would be your personal recommendations for headphones that would be step above these in performance? Meaning better sound for a higher price, but not anything way out there, just logically something that might be $100 more and definitely better.

  I have recently purchased the Cambridge Audio DacMagic and will probably soon buy a pair of LCD-2 and a Woo Audio WA22. This is going to be a huge upgrade from my current setup which is a pair of Denon AH-D5000 that ive been using directly from an iPod Touch.   My question is will there...

I have several phones at the moment, Audio Technica  50s and AD700s, and older UE IEMs. I'm looking for a headphone who's best asset is imaging. I've tried to search for this sort of thing but can't figure out a good way to go about it, I keep coming up with like 900 threads, so... Here I am...
