A lot of Sennheiser aficionados have been waiting for Sennheiser's own balanced cables for their flagship HD headphones since they were first shown.   The Sennheiser CH 650 S (for the Sennheiser HD 600/650), CH 700 S (for the Sennheiser HD 700), and the CH 800 S (for the Sennheiser HD 800)...

I heard both the LCD-2 and the HD800 at a meet, and I prefer the LCD-2. I think I like "warm" sound, but I was thinking about something. I know that some people characterize very warm sound as a coloration (something not neutral). However, I noticed that the LCD-2 had what I would call "timbre...

So I now have the HD598 and I want to start exploring a bit into a higher tier headphones like HD600, HD800, HiFiMan-500, DT880, etc   I don't want to spend $500+ on an amp and yet I want something that is not going to be a joke when powering up those headphones. So my question is ... which...

I'm all about getting the best bang for the buck. I get really excited when I discover a new pairing that really is greater than the sum of the parts. I think a lot of the fun in this hobby goes towards discovering different combinations of amps and headphones. So list what you've discovered so...

Hey!   What can you tell me about the stands from ROOM's [1] ? It's a german company and they make headphone-stands like the Sievekin Omega, but they also have a model, called the "FS" and I really like the looks of it.   Does anybody own this type of stand and can comment...

Help, to choose not expensive cable. The cable is necessary more brightly and more in details, than a native cable.   Someone can these options listened?  ...

I was curious if any head-fiers in the triangle area (Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill) would be willing to meet up and let me audition their T1 or HD800's since I'm starting to consider them as my next purchase. In return I could bring my LCD-2's or HE-500's for you to try out, if you're...

Hello all from Japan!   I'm here on a 4 month exchange, and it just occured to me that pricing should be different here--I mean, places like AC are a tad pricy because of the whole import thing.   I have been looking around for headphones but I barely know what to look for (let alone...

Hi, I'm looking for a portable headphone which will be used mostly outdoors and travel, music playing with my cell and ipad Air(wav and flac). I've read many threads and recommendations including the best 100 portable shootout ...

Hi guys,   So I now have the HD598 and I want to start exploring a bit into a higher tier headphones like HD600, HD800, HiFiMan-500, DT880, etc   I don't want to spend $500+ on an amp and yet I want something that is not going to be a joke when powering up those headphones. So my question is...

I e-mailed Sennheiser to ask them if they were developing/releasing a new headphone. 3-5 days later I got this response. Thank you for your interest! Yes, their is a new model The HD800 coming next year... They planning early next year. I wil keep you inform since I have a few who...

Having completed almost all the models in my set of Grado wallpapers on another thread, I was thinking it would be cool/fun to do a series of walls for the top 5 or so preferred phones on HF. Would you guys be interested? Which phones should be included? *Beyerdynamic 880 05 *Senn HD800

Hey everyone! I am currently running the followings: Schiit Bifrost USB - > Woo WA6 w/ Princess Sophia - > HD800/T1   Will most likely add Fostex TH-900 to the mix later on.. Maybe even a audeze or hifiman? (unsure about these yet..)   Also from the woo thread and the WA2 thread i am...

Hi all, I'm trying to find the threads discussing about pairing Woo Audio's stock WA3+ with HD-800 if this is a good pair. So far, I couldn't locate any. My initial thought is that if WA3+ can properly drive HD600 or HD650, and make these can shine ... it should be also good for HD-800...

Hi folks!   I reach out you for help....   Okay - Did my research.  I read everything I could on this can.  I asked questions, took advice, weighed my options.  I went to different retailers and auditioned them - count it - four times.     I loved them every time.  I tried them on a cheap...

As the title says, is what I need. I'm looking to build a setup around the HE-500's, as I already tried a lot of other high end setups with the HD800, LCD-2, LCD-3, HE-6, and the T1, and found that the HE-500 suits me the best. I have both a Charleston Cable Company HE-500 cable with a 4-Pin XLR...

Originally I posted this in the introductions forum since I just registered but It was suggested it would get more replies here and it didn't seem like the mods would move the original thread. Hope its alright to repost this and I've finally found the right place for it.   I'm in the process...

Hi folks,   I know this pairing has been spoken about before but I just had to post on this.  After pondering and posturing for quite awhile now, I bit the bullet and got the LCD-3's, and have had them for about a week.  Big shout out to Todd at Vinyl Junkie Headquarters.  Wonderful folks to...

Hi. I want to know, are expensive headphones really worth it? I spent 600 dollars on a pare of headphones, a DAC schiit modi and schiit magni amplifier to go with my Hifiman he-400 headphones. The reason I bought it is because I wanted to invest in nice headphones and I had my geek brother do...

I've never had a headphone amp before...I am considering a portable amp, but am worried that once I listen through the amp I'll NEED it or my headphones will sound muted or lacking. I don't want to have to lug an amp around but am curious about the benefits. Has anyone felt like once you...

We need one.   

I currently have the following headphones. Ultrasone Pro 2900 Fidelio X1 Beoplay H6 I am considering to add a flagship class headphone to make my collection more versatile. Should I get HD800, T1 or others? I need some advice. Thanks.

Hi guys, I'm confused!! Can you compare these headphones in BASS ? (I'm getting k550 but I've heard there is lack of bass. I've listened to hd 380 pro, it's in my mind, I'll appreciate you to compare specially these two)

Im thinking to buy a good cable for q701, id like to know can i use the cable on multiple brand if i purchase another headphone? Is kinda waste that if spend a 400 bucks but only can use on 1 headphone,

I don't expect that any IEM could replicate the open, detailed spaciousness of the HD800, but what comes closest?  I might have to move entirely away from headphones to IEM's exclusively and am trying to get an idea of what my choices are.  I listen to a lot of classical so ability to reproduce...
