I thought I'd start a new thread so we can gather results from all the Headphones we've tried with the Pono  (good or bad) and any fixes that took them from bad to great.   The other day I got the 650's and gave them a spin on my Marantz CD Player connected to my Little Dot MKIII tube Amp. I...

I Currently have the Sony MDR-7506 they sound great, but they are a little too bright for me - I like everything else about them, but the highs can get a little piercing and annoying if wearing them for a while.   Can anyone recommend a similar spec'd headphone with a more tamed treble?     ...

I want the same studio quality but without the coil cable Big cables make me not want to use them outside

I've been kind of out of the loop with new headphones lately, and am wondering what closed headphones out there are very mid-centric. I've owned the AKG K271s (which are great) and the Sony MDR-CD900STs (which are beyond marvelous), and I've heard, very briefly, Beyerdynamic DT48's, but I'm...

What is the deal with these headphones? How do they sound? Are they really the same as SONY MDR-V7? Just curious. Searched a bit but could not find any meaningful information.

Hi All,  I'm interested in your opinion about old Sony headphones in terms of their sound. Is the original CD900 purchaseable btw? I'm really interested in that 40 mm diamond coated diaphragm. I will choose a headphone in a couple of months and I would prefer Sony for the matter - but I need...

Getting right to the point.   Used for:   -producing music, especially electronic. -listening to music for pleasure (obviously) -gaming (counter strike, horror games, etc.) -closed-back -analog, not USB -as flat as it can get -soundstage not too important, but sure why not...

I must keep the cost below $200 preferably $150.  Very open to used or older models.  On-ear second choice but acceptable.  Eventually probably get an Audioengine D1 USB/Optical DAC/Amp in a few months.  Listen to other types of music too, but favorite is classical especially anything with...

I usually find myself in the portable headphones / IEM section, as I"m an IEM kind of guy, however recently I've become interested in full-size headphones although I'm having some problems and lack of time to research all the available options, so why not ask the community my question. I'm...

the left driver of my sony MDR-cd900st headphones got alot softer after i tried to plug it into an old radio. wondering if replacing the driver would fix the problem 

I purchased this 100$ headphone two weeks ago from rakuten. It has had about 200 hours of burn in time. I couldn't believe the sound. It is ferocious. Punchy detailed bass, never boomy, soundstage larger than my ath ad1000x, more detail and speed than than my sa5000's. The midrange is very in...

i need  a new pair of earpads and headband for cd900st.   where can i get those ? and is there velour pads that will fit cd900st ? will other pads change the sound of it ?

The MDR-CD900ST is designed and manufactured by Sony Music Entertainment Japan and not Sony Electronics (according to Audiocubes.com). Does anyone know if Sony Music Entertainment Japan produces any other headphones bedsides the MDR-CD900ST?       "Designed and manufactured by Sony Music...

Decided to get the MDR-CD900st because I am a Sony fanboy and I love how they look.  Opened the box and was surprised by the lack of retail packing.  It's very un-Sony like to package it in a white box.  A quick search here confirmed that it is how they come.     A quick listen proved that...

i think i will buy Sony Ma900 or Cd900st.   as iam looking for the best sound for vocal music i found cd900st that is closed (someone said it was better than Q701 in mid, was going to buy it) . and then a few day ago i read about the Ma900, people said it was a better headphone than...

Hi, im considering trading my kef q1 speakers for a set of Sony MDR-CD900st headphones, along with a ppas amplifier. Is this a good deal?

Can anyone compare these two, especially mids, overall balance and detail? Particularly vocals and acoustic instruments? Thanks, Joshua

Hey guys, I've been looking through some phones for the higher end recently, and one of which is the cd900st.   Do the pads wear out as fast as the V6's pads supposedly can (~6 months-a year earliest I've seen)? If so, where can I get replacement pads for them? I've also heard that these...

HI my last thread for this matter :P Gonna order the headphone with most vote tomorrow.   Iam using Odac+O2   listen mainly to Cpop, Jpop, Kpop, ballad, female voice music, acoustic   Have narrowed it down to:   akg Q701 akg K702 anni akg K401/K400 akg K501 sony Ma900...

Are there are any mid centric headphones under $300, and can be powered relatively easily? Here are some requirements: Open or Closed Good Soundstage Details Mid-Upper or Lower Comfort I already have srh940, which I love, but I also want to test others. Thanks!

Hi! its me again :D   Iam still looking for a new headphone.   Right now iam using: Odac + build in O2 amp HD650 mp3 320kbps and flac   im listening to Jpop, Kpop, Cpop, female Ballad, female vocal music, ascustic   I had the HD598 really love this, feeling there is no...

So I decided to save up and spend a little more on headphones.   I'm looking for as neutral a sound as possible for my budget. I'm looking for durability, comfort, sound quality and isolation.   So from the frequency graphs I've seen (still very new to this so please correct me if I'm...

Just poking around, I know these headphones usually aren't peoples favourite headphones, but they are well respected. The thing is, I've tried lots of other headphones, and the V6s are indeed MY favourite headphones ever. Durability is off the charts, nice rugged style, and sound, while I have...

I prize resolution, and love studio accurate headphones ala the etymotic er4. I've also noticed that Sony makes some of the most underrated headphones on the market. I was looking at these two models for my fullsized headphone, but there's hardly any info on them. Certainly not enough to get a...
