I just wanted to throw out some of my impressions and hopefully get others to chime in. I have been using my DT 880 (600 ohm) with a Valhalla and a SS amp. I find the DT 880s to "play it safe" with the sound so to speak when compared with the HF2. The HF2 seems to have a significantly more...

Hey guys, Im not sure if I should buy a senn hd580 or a fischer DBA-02 or a Vsonic GR07 (I'm open to other suggestions btw). if I'll buy an IEM I'll also save money on an amp and because I also need a portable. FR isn't as important to me as detail. I'm also not sure what amp to get in the...

i´ve never read anything extremely good or extremely bad about beyerdynamics headphones.... however the DT831´s and DT931´s interest me, can somebody that has either of these tell me if they are good or not? since i live in germany these are EASILY attainable, just so as sennheiser. thanks! oh...

Like with pc, once you get a certain cpu, videocard ect it is a horrible return for the dollar on the performance you get..at what price point does this happen with headphones?

About 1/4 of my right earpad has been torn off. I have no idea how and will post pictures if needed, but how does one go around repairing it himself the proper way? It looks like there is no adhesive. Were they just tucked in by the manufacture? Also the warranty said it excludes torn earpads ;(...

I have a digital piano and a Sony SBC HP195 that desperately needs replacement. I already asked some opinions on a dedicated piano forum, but I guess your input could be a valuable addition as well. I understand that reviews are based on usage with normal stuff such as Mp3, stereo etc. A good...

I listened to the HD600 some time ago and I actually kinda liked it, the sound was more balenced then the HD650's. Now I'm wondering, after seeing this on the sennheiser site: http://shop.sennheiserusa.com/retail...ct_prod=091570 Are those HD600 Drivers? It would give me a new HD600 for...

Have had the HD 580's Precision for years.  Had them reconditioned  by Sennheirser . While I have some other headphones these are the winners.  Use them with a Little Dot MK 111 headphone amp.  Considering upgrading the cable to a Cardas 20' but the cost is more then the phones are worth...

I'm looking for a set of headphones.  My location precludes me from demoing...anything, and audiophilia is a nonexistant hobby here--the only cans you can buy for over 50 bucks are labeled by a certain over-the-hill rapper.  I tried that "New headphones here" thread, and didn't get any responses...

I listen to wide variety of music including classical, jazz (instrumental & vocals), folk (acoustic), celtic, rock.  So maybe subject should say all?  Particularly the classical music with orchestras, quartets, etc; small jazz ensembles with artists like Diana Krall and Karrin Allyson, I would...

So a quick search didnt show up any reviews of these cans. They're only $75 USD on amazon and I'm thinking of picking up a pair after reading about orthodynamic cans. Can anybody here recommend them? I have a headphonia lyrix usb dac/amp and a set of HD580s. I'm thinking of getting a set of...

Can someone point me to a FAQ that addresses how headphone impedance and sensitivity factor in the ability for a given source to drive them appropriately?

I just read this on Stefan AudioArt's site    Quote: http://stefanaudioart.com/Equinox%20HEADPHONE%20Cable%20Tips%20.html     This is very interesting since everywhere I looked, people said the HD 650 cable is better. I just received my HD 650 cable today (I've been using a HD...

I'm a fairly casual gamer and huge on music, and only recently have I realized that I'm probably not enjoying my music as well as I could be, so I'm looking to get headphones and a sound card for my computer. Could anyone help me out?   As far as gaming goes, I play rts here and there and...

Thank you.

I recently purchased a used pair of the legendary HD580s and I really love what they are doing. They are replacing my Shure 840s as my main set of cans for listening at home. I no longer need closed back here and the more open presentation is very appealing. I have this trait where I try to do...

Hey guys, just finished writing up a review/comparison among the four headphones on my website. I don't wanna paste the whole thing here, but i invite u all to take a look and see what you guys think. Sennheiser Idol: HD580 vs HD595 vs HD600 vs HD650 Reviewed and Compared

I'm going to sell my HD650 because I bought them on the recommendation of them having a good bass response. Yet they are almost identical to my DT880 except for a duller treble. Exactly the same bass response - you need to turn it up to deafening levels t realize that the HD650 *may* have...

I believe my 2nd hand bought HD650 have HD600 drivers in them because they sound far too bright to be a true HD650 and the price I got for them may be slightly too good to be true... ($310).   Is there any way of confirming whether or not the drivers are HD600 drivers by looking at them? For...

 I've had this pair of headphones for quite a while now, and I'm at a loss as to how to fix the problem of having jittery sound in the left ear piece. I've read from previous posts that this can be fixed by adjusting the leads, but neglected to mention how exactly to open the headphones. Plus...

Refers to both mid bass, and, more importantly sub bass.   I'm finding my new version HD650 very deficient in sub-bass - is that normal and are the HD600 equal, more or less in this regard for sub bass?

I've got about 50 hours on the AKG 701's and they are incredible! Really musical. I keep reaching for CD's to hear music I love that I haven't heard that good in quite a while. These sound as good as the big rig(no headphones). I'd really like to hear these w/new digital front end-Ayre universal...

So. I know it's a bit of a vast difference, but I'm looking to upgrade from my HD555s. Naturally I would think the HD580 due to the fact I love the senn sound, and I had a good listen on a friends pair of HD650s. Now the only thing to consider. I don't have an amp YET. But I will be getting one...

I'm into buying a FiiO E7 in the near future. My question is, would it be possible to also use with my Motorola Defy android phone? Of course ideally it'd get used as a DAC instead of the Defy's lower quality sound chip.. I tried to search on the topic but did not find much, but praises of the...
