I was really looking at the akg k701/702, and the sennheiser hd600, hd650, until i joined head-fi...Some members helped me out and told me that I should avoid these unless I was going to invest in an amp. So, how much is a good amp?

I've been parsing a ton of reviews and boards for information on the best way to go with these headphones / amps and I'm still not sure what the best option is.   I'm looking to go for either the DT880's, the HD600 or HD650s. I was really looking into the AKG k701s, but numerous reviews...

As per title really.   I'm a cable skeptic. Well, maybe not an outright skeptic, but have a healthy level of snake-oil awareness and a distrust of manufacturer advertising skullduggery. I've spent a lot of money on cables in the past, only to replace them with cheaper manufacturer brands...

Here's another from the endless supply of driving Senn questions. I have been driving my 325is with an NAD 3155 and I've found that the integrated NAD does a fantastic job. My only comparisons are a total bithead and a styleaudio carrot topaz, but my impression is that the NAD handily beats...

The main purpose of this was to save some money as I didn't want o buy another HP amp. I figured speaker outputs on receivers/amps would have more than enough power to drive headphones. As most of you know, speaker outputs on receivers/amps put out more power than the headphone outs on amps...

Hi, I just want to hear from some owners of either of the above Sennheisers on their thoughts or listening impressions. I have the AKG 702's for my super detailed set of phones, but I'm looking for a good upgrade to my HD555's to have that nice laidback Sennheiser flavor for variety, but...

I recently got my hd600's about a week ago and I am absolutely loving them. Superb! There is one thing i am wondering is there supposed to be that piece of foam on the inside of the cans. It seems to be the same foam that came in the box. I haven't touched it but it does touch my ear and it...

I'm assembling my first headphone system and I'm looking for an amplifier to drive Sennheiser HD600 or HD650. Are there any portable amps that are "better" sounding than comparable home amps that cost about the same? My budget goes up to $1000 if necessary, preferably $600. I'm looking hard at...

Hello All, I just purchased Cardas replacement cables for my Sen HD 600s. Wow what a difference! Bass tightened up and the sense of depth increased. My problem is that I made the mistake of buying only 4 ft of cable :(. If I purchased a 4ft Cardas - Headphone Extension cable, would the sound...

Hi,   I'm fairly new to the audiophile world. I got a pair of HD600's almost two years ago and really like them. They sound great to me, but then again I'm new to the audiophile world and the best thing I heard before were some $50 Ultimate Ear earbuds. I'm concerned whether I'm getting the...

Forgive me since there's a ton of info in the archives (too much). Up to $500 or so, what would you recommend in a tube headphone amp for Senn HD600? I'm a total headphone newbie here. Thanks.

Today I was at a local store and I came across these. They're on the ear headphones and portable, but not exactly that small. I never heard of this model before and think it may be new or a re-release of an older headphone. I think there was an old model with 55 in the name. TNT-55 I think...

I'm just curious what the greatest headphones that have come out are. I know "greatest" is very much based on opinions but I just wanted to see what people had to say. List whatever you want, best all-around, best sound quality, best comfort, whatever!
