For regular non headphone listening I use a NAD T753 with Dali Lektor 3's and Sub. The warm sound of the NAD and the wood fiber cones of the Dali's yield a detailed yet warm sound. I recently got the ASUS STX card. I have owned a pair of Grado SR60i HP's for several years. I listen to classical...

Hi, i am a noob here. i read alot from this site about phones like lcd3 lcd2 ps1000 hd800 T1 HE6. For now i wanna to sell my HD700( new, not listen over 10 hours with it) and choose a better headphone to listen classic and pop . yes, u may laugh. And latter i will buy table cd player and amp...

I'm looking for some insight from some audiophiles, I have read lots of reviews and I think I'm ready to buy the HD700, I do not have a budget and will be listening to FLAC  through my laptop only... I'm interested in amps and DACS and also combos

Howdy all - like I said in the title, I need to chat with people as opposed to just reading threads....   I have a decent flac collection, foobar, etc. I use a Gilmore lite + psu and an emotiva xda1. My current phones are AKG k601, AT ESW9, JVC HA s500, and a pair of px100s. (I also have the...

Hi everyone,     I'm a bit of a headphone beginner, I currently have the Phillips Fidelio X1.   I have a bit of an upgrade itch so just searching around.   I love the deep bass in the X1's, however I sometimes feel the bass is sloppy and drowns out some of the midrange. I had some...

A fresh new look from a non-audiophile. My quest at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2014 was simple, find the best sounding headphones. I have a small amount of experience in the new audio equipment. What I bring to the table in this forum is my music experience. I compose symphonies, conduct...

I just upgraded from my Sony MDR-XB500s to the Sennheiser HD 558s and I was slightly disappointed when I first wore them on and realized they weren't as comfortable as the XB500s.   And then I wondered what the most comfortable headphones of all time were and I created this thread.   [Insert...

I all ready have sone Sony Mdr 800 which I love, but fancy trying something different for gaming and movies. What do you recommend please?

I personally listen to Alternative rock, rock, and pop.I have the Akg Q701s. Any help is welcome! You can also list some headphones I might want to look into. What im looking into is something with more bass then the Akg Q701s and will sound good with a variety of genres.

Please list 1-3 in order that you have used for classic music.

I was there today. I heard the Mr Speakers Alpha dog, Not Bad. I heard them with the Hugo Dac/Amp, I think they were a little flat and polite. Maybe they need more power??   I really liked the Kingsound H03s, the only issue bing you need a special amplifier to pair with the headphones. If they...

Hi Gentlemen,   I think I am now addicted to headphones. Just like you! ;) So I plan to buy one real good headphone (ok I think, there it will not stop). First I have to save some money for it, but as everybody here knows it starts with reading a lot of reviews, tests and forumreadings (and...

So am looking at these two dac/amp for my Sennheiser HD700, and am wondering if anyone have any experience with them? NFB-11 looks to be the more expensive one, and i guess that is because of the Sabre dac? Beside that they look very much similar. Another thing i wonder about is how hot these...

  INTRODUCTION   It’s been a while since I joined Head-fi, and since that time I’ve owned, and also auditioned, a lot of different cans.  I’ve also learnt a lot about my own listening preferences and habits.  One of the things I have learnt is that I seem to prefer a certain measure of...

Hi, I just dug up an old Pioneer VSX-451 to try and power some Sennheiser HD700's. The receiver is connected to my computer. When my headphones are plugged in, I get a loud hum and white noise. Hopefully this is a simple fix... anyone have an idea as to what's wrong?   Also, would using this...

Looking at getting an amp for my HD700/650 and was looking for opinions between these two. Fairly close price wise but how do they compare in sound. Mostly listen to Pop and Jazz along with a bit of classic rock.

Of anywhere I can ask I feel it must be here.  Has anyone used the Can Opener with standard headphones off of a AudioSource Amp-100?  I'm wondering as if it is a proven product  so I can use my Magni elsewhere in the house and save myself the cost difference between the C.O. and an Asgard 2 /...

Hi all,   First post here so sorry if I am asking a question that's been asked a million times before.   Listening equipment:   Computer with a Sound Blaster ZxR sound card. Onboard 32/300 omh or switch to 300 ohm (never use 300 as I am afraid of melting headphones).   Source - MP3, some...

I wrote asking when HD600/700 might be in stock and received the reply that Sennheiser was no longer carried.    This is horribly irritating as I was rather looking forward to the reasonable discount.    What other websites DO carry Sennheiser that are lower than MSRP? 

Just wondered if any of you have any headphone collections and what they were, pictures would be a plus. By collections I mean a group of headphones with a common thread between them.  I only have one small collection and am without a camera, if this thread has any legs I'll post pictures when...

Hey Everybody,   Before you ask, yes I'm somewhat a noob in this area, I've only had a pair of Beyerdynamics DT990 Pro before I got my Sennheiser HD700's and I have tried Philips Fidelio X1 which were amazing but sadly they itched alot for me so was only able to keep them on for short periods...

Hello,   I commute 4 hours a day and am looking for a pair of cans on the go. My source is Theorem 720 DAC/AMP taking it's digital signal from my iphone 5. Headphones used currently are Ultrasone Pro 900 with silver plated OCC copper cable. I love the sound however the isolation and leakage...

This isn't intended as a review, but as the start of an Objective 2 appreciation thread. I've had the Objective 2 + ODAC Combo for a couple weeks now and I absolutely love it. I may be late to the party, but I believe there are at least hundreds of other O2 owners out there that probably...

I just tried the HD800 and I love them! They sound great, very true, very detailed, great sound stage.   I was comparing them to the HD700 and in almost every case, I prefer the HD800. I was listening to DSOTM and when the bells started ringing on Time, some of those bells were really shrill...

Hello Guys,   I am in need of some guidance from all of you experts. I recently indulged in an impulse purchase of the HD 700's on for $649 over Christmas. I currently have a set of Beats by Dre Studio editions that ive had for years now. I was unaware of the requirement of high end headphones...
