The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

Hey everyone.    After listening to my crappy 2.0 Logitech speakers for so long, I've decided that it's time to buy a new pair of headphones. Over the years, I've owned a few decent headphones, which I use about 70/30 for gaming and music respectively. These were the HD598, HD555, and the...

Hey all,   I am currently bringing my Sennheiser HD 555's to work every day and it's definitely less than ideal as they're quite large. I'm looking for a sub-$100 set of cans which will be very portable. I'd prefer a set that folds. A good reference set of cans for what I'm looking for would...

Hi guys, Just happened to stumble upon this forum and it's great! To be honest I don't really have the vocabulary or nuance for a lot of the things I hear in the discussions but I am very willing the learn. Anyway back to my problem. I bought hd500s about 4 years ago and they've been...

Thinking of starting a headphone collection slowly, but surely. They seem interesting in terms of the external speakers. I hear they are not bad, but i wanted some more opinions and i thought i might find a review here after using this website previously before i bought V-Moda's Crossfade M-80s...

In the cable replacement instructions for these series of headphones, the leaflet makes mention of temporarily removing (what I presume is) the black piece of foam that covers the area near the cable termination. Trouble is that the leaflet simply says to "remove" the foam, but the foam...

Hi peeps! After tons of browsing and rummaging for the best IEM's within budget; i've resorted to asking the seemingly best audiophile community around.  I have a £50 budget for IEMs and so far have short-listed the following, but feel free to suggest more:   RHA MA350 Soundmagic E10...

Hi, I just bought UE 900's coming from my Sennheiser HD555's. I don't know if it's just me, but I can't stand them. It hasn't been a full 24 hours yet and I've already gone back to my Sennheisers. Is there something I'm missing here? Here are my gripes. 1. Given all the tips, I couldn't find...

I want awesome headphones 95% for movies. I've spent the past month reading countless posts on head-fi, and have found that music reproduction dominates the conversation. When movie audio comes up, there are often responses pointing users to budget-fi or low mid-fi models in the midst of...

Hey   My HD 555 headband broke few days ago. I nearly bought HD 598, but more rational approach would be trying to fix the current headset.   Although only the small plastic element (the slim plastic for regulating height of the right headphone) broke, seems I have to buy whole headband...

Good ON-EAR Headphones?  Looking for a pair to haul around campus with me...not a huge fan of "earbuds" as I don't like things "inside" my ears. They will be used for music on my iPod and laptop (nothing fancy). Chill-Out Radio on Pandora is a good example of music that I'd most likely...

Quote: Quote: <http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/508817/i-m-a-believer#post_6876491>     After reading that and laughing (not out loud) it just clicked to me. What if there was a thread just for this purpose? Concordantly, here it is, Headphiles Anonymous; I thought of...

Hey all,   As of right now I am using HD555s with the foam mod and just my motherboard's integrated sound. I bought the Titanium HD the other day (when it was $110 on amazon) and have been playing around with it today. Performed several blind tests with various quality songs (from 120kbps to...

As the topic states, I've read that the Denon D1100s are fairly comfortable headphones, but I haven't found any information about their comfort level while wearing glasses. I've been using the Sennheiser HD555s for a while as I've grown to love their comfort after using them for so long. Sadly...

Hi, I've been wanting to purchase more headphones to add to my collection and rather than ask details about the sound, I thought that this method may get me responses faster and I can use it as reference for some future purchases. I own all the headphones in my sig, except Stax, but one...

This might be a wild goose chase, but I am trying to find a decent set of headphones that will not kill my sensitive ears or raging OCD.  Here is what I am looking for:   Price - preferably under $100, I know this is tight but I can probably stretch it to $150 if it is my only option Size...

Summary : I want a super comfortable headphone that doesn't have very reccessed mids, doesnt skimp out on the highs and has a good amount of bass for music and movies, under $250     Let me start off by saying comfort comes first. I want a headphone that is better for listening to movies...

Hi guys. This my first thread. I will try to be specific on my question and current equipment.  I am a pc gamer/geek first off.  I dont mind spending money on electronics, but do have a limited budget.   I have an x-fi fatality sound card and a nvidia gtx 570 video card on my pc.  I have a...

I'm looking for a good quality headset to use for gaming. I currently have a HD 555 which I do like but I need something that is wireless as this wire is not long enough for the living room. And I could do without wires, and I need something to chat with. I would like something that is equal to...

I currently own a pair of QC15s and HD555s (Modded to HD595s). I'm a drummer, and yesterday at a rehearsal another musician let me hear the M50s. It had been a while since I heard them, but I actually was pretty floored this time. Love the way that these cans make acoustic drums sound on a...

I currently have an HD 555 paired with my computer and Creative ZXR sound card. The sound card has a built-in mic amp.   My new headphones would be paired with this setup. I use it to play games, music, movies. I like rap, r&b, christian music.   I'm more about bank for buck. So if there are...
