Hey guys,   I suddenly went to China and now I realize that I may be missing out on some head-fi-ish gear buying opportunities.    In particular I need a portable (not too small, but reasonably small, so that it won't be a head/back - ache to spontaneously carry around  and to / from...

Hi. I have a nice Cyrus system with DAC-XP and wondered what headphone amp will be a nice balance in with my new headphones within my budget? Also I think I need a decent coaxial cable to plumb the amp to my DAC and an extension cable...any recommendations here much appreciated! Thanks! Iain

Any ideas? Like M80 ish or M100ish or DT770 Pro ish?

I've had my Momentums for a little while and wanted to try something different and I was considering the Focals. I'll be using them unamped from my phone as well as amped from my desktop though, so I was wondering if anyone had any impressions of how they sound unamped from a phone vs the Momentums.

Hello I'm quite a newby to audio equipment and I was just wondering which of these headphones would be the best for me to purchase my budget for headphones is around £200 and I just wanted some advice from others in the audiophile community so I don't regret my decision in the future. So from...

Hi new to the forum loving every thing here so far but I am looking for a custom 3.5mm to 2.5mm cord for Sennheiser Momentum preferably braided or something stronger and better quality then the original. I have see the toxic cables but they don't seem to have one for the Sennheiser Momentum i...

Hi Guys,   Firstly let me apologise if I blabber or what I say doesn't make any sense, i'm new to this!   Right, my dilemma is that I am on the look for a decent pair of headphones. They will be used for mainly either at home listening, or used at the gym (non cardio).   I currently have a...

Hi guys   I'm looking for a velour pads can fit the sennheiser momentum over ear ?   the earpads are kinda small the top of ears get sweat and warm after 2 hours   Many thanks.

Hello, I just picked up a pair of Over-Ear Sennheiser Momentums and noticed the right side is much louder than the left side. Is that normal and does it go away after a while?

Hi there,   I would like to get a new portable player for about 200 euros and I would appreciate any tips. I was looking at FiiO X3 and it looks pretty decent. Do you guys have any recommendations, is it good for that price, or can I get something more worthy in the same price range?:)   My...

Hi,   I would really appreciate any advice to help me figure out what combination of hardware to buy, to give me the best possible experience for watching bluray films, via my pc. This is not for music listening. I would say a light touch of gaming, but gaming is not my intent for this.  ...

What are the pros and cons? Maybe the mdr?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma, Im looking for a pair of portable headphones with clear sound and a good immersive base. I mostly listen to Rock/Metal so base is always welcome, however I listen to pretty much every other major Genre so a clear sound is also. I have narrowed it down to either the...

I have already searched through 10 pages of threads, and I think that it is safe to say that my question isn't addressed. I am a recent owner of the Momentum, but i returned it the day I bought it after various tests. I have notice that the low bass of this headphone is very weak(not very...

After a good pair of portable on ears, i like precise music but i do like bass also but not muddy bass.   What can you suggest?

Would the Momentum be unforgiving with MP3s (192)? Balance is great, but for the Momentum, is there bass on the tracks that command it? Does the MDR-R1 lose much detail compared to the Momentums?

Hi Please can I have some recommendations for good closed headphones, over ear type that can run well without a dedicated headphone amp. My mate just wants to plug them into the headphone socket on his new Naim SuperNait2 which apparently has a class A headphone amp built -in. He likes lively...

I haven't seen a dedicated  effort on the forum to quantify earpad size for our favorite 'over ear' headphones.  Because headphone comfort aka ergonomics are perhaps almost as important as sound signature for those of us who like to listen for long sessions in particular, maybe overdue to...

Sennheiser Momentum or Beats Studio 2013. I'm a basshead and I want the bass to be felt

I'm looking for a nice compact headphone for use on the go... Which of these sounds better? And would these be an upgrade to my audio technica m50s? I'll be selling my m50s to buy whichever

Did my first real world test, after a fair amount of online research, for my first pair of decent over ear headphones. I took my iPhone 4 loaded with a test track in Apple Lossless very familiar to me. It's a classical piece with huge dynamic range (loud to quiet and bass to treble). For those...

I haven't found any threads specifically discussing this comparison.  I'm interested in direct comparisons of these 4 headphones.  I've seen quite a few between various parings, but I'm curious about the whole lot.  I currently have the P7's and I've had them for about 1 week.  So far I love...

OK.  This is kind of silly but here goes:   I'm getting the Senn Momentums from my wife for Christmas.  Lucky me.  I'm also planning to get either an HRT Microstreamer or a Dragonfly.  I would like this device to be able to fit in the center compartment of the Momentum's case.  The larger of...

Hey all, I am currently in the market for a reasonably priced(sub 400 $) tube amp/dac combo for home use.   My criteria are as follows:   1) The aforementioned price limit. 2)a decent DAC Topology. 3) Ability to compliment a wide array of headphones. 4) Ability to plug straight into a pc...

Back when i upgrade my regular apple buds to my current DT990 pro, there was a HUGE increase in sound quality.  it was the first time i experience what you guys mean by soundstage, deep punchy base, clarity etc.   However, the other day, i was at bestbuy and i sample all their high end...
