It seems to come from nowhere but suddenly the R-50 from Rock It Sounds is taking Head-fi like a storm. The company is using the same OEM/ODM company we have seen in Head-fi before, but manage to tweak the products to their own design. Here is a complete overview of their current line-up.  ...

Opinions Please....

For those not aware, there is a pair of very rare Sony R-10's on ebay right now. Apparently, they are in pristine, mint condition. What's your take? Are they authentic and are you interested? (Boy, I would hate to see someone get scammed on this one.) I am cautiously optimistic.   ...

as a very astute member recently noted that sony for all its recent headphone miss-hits from top to bottom, should update the now discontinued mdr r10, crank back up the production line, to sort of paraphrase. what was the sound signature of the r10?( just to note) i referred the gallery photos...

These Sony R10 have been sold 4 days ago and are still for sale today :   http://www.ebay.com/itm/110975959349?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D110975959349%26_rdc%3D1   In 2 days, they have travelled from Greece to France during the...

I'm currently in the market for the old "king" of dynamics and the leatherheads. Can anyone tell me the current market value of these two headphones? Not sure how much they have changed since I have just recently re-entered this hobby. Thanks :)

Hello,  Checking to see if anyone has information on where I can find spare wooden ear cups for Sony long discontinued MDR-R10 for sale?   I know this might be a long shot, but any info would be greatly appreciated.

Aside from Stax, HD800, T1, & Audeze LCDx what else are on the market if you own those already?

This in an interesting article in the SMH re the history of headphones - previously on Mashable.  Has anyone heard the Orpheus?   http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/mp3s/listen-up-a-brief-history-of-headphones-20120927-26mjx.html

Thanks to the generosity of bkelly, I recently received on loan his Senn HD590s and his pair of Senn HD600s. Why would he do such a thing? We've dealt with each other in the past on some fairly big-ticket items, plus we've corresponded a lot in the interim. Brian really wanted me to finally...

One question gentlemen:  Besides my "open headphone", I need to buy a closed headphone, just because sometimes I can not afford to have sound leaking to (or from) outside.     So.. I am looking for a very-high-quality Audiophile headphone with large soundstage and musicality close to an open...

I came up with an Idea that many others may follow. to Make a thread-club based on specific Brandnames among the audio market.   and here comes one, Sony.   Im not a too devoted Sony product fan, im sorta am. But Sony is one of those Brands that i look up to most when it comes to...

With the HifiMan, Audeze, Senns., Beyer, Ultrasone, Grado, etc. product lines providing very good sound, are the classics still holding value/performance? The classics are our past reference points. L3000, R-10, K1000, etc. Anybody with a collection of each era care to share your opinions on...

Okay, so about 3 months ago, I was recommended to buy a pair of Ultrasone HFI-780 after my pleas for sound quality and comfort in a well-priced package. Unfortunately, it wasn't until after I had dished out 160 bucks and passed the refund date, that the headaches started. I've adjusted where...

say you won this insain contest and could win one pair of headphones, but it could be any pair in the world   what would it be and why?   ps the purpose of this thread is just for everyone to share their opinion

Why has Sony not produced anything similar or close to the MDR-R10? They've must have done tons of research and development to create such a remarkable product and from their perspective it does not make much sense to only make a limited number of headphones and store away the knowledge. Why do...

This is an extension of opinions I recently posted in the high-end forum. I felt it was interesting to share my views on the HD800 in the general forum, where everyone hangs out. I just sold my HD800's to a friend, after having them for almost a month. At the beginning, I remember being very...

Hey guys, pick your choice from the selections or post if I did not include your option. Remember, this is the one headphone you will have to live with for the rest of your life.

  It's been almost 3 years since last time I used most of my cans. So after unboxing I listened to them for at least 8 hours at day in continuous back and forth with all kind of music during two weeks. I thought I should share some impressions as I always loved posts from people talking about...

So in the end who is the best? Or King - R10?:)  

I am hoping to buy a Sony MDR-R10 headphones. So I was wondering if it was worth not getting my first car, and buy the R10 from AudioAdvancements or ThemeGIfts for the $ 4000. Or should I try to continue to locate a used pair? I guess what I'm asking is HOW MUCH ARE THESE THINGS REALLY WORTH?

Hi Everyone,   I have a pair of Markl modded Denon AH D5000's. They sound great. I will keep these forever, but are there any other headphones that are similar, but have their own fine sound signature? I tried a pair of Beyer DT770's and had couldn't stand them. I'm not good with shrill...

Sony MDR-SA5000 Review Well, it’s been a while since the last time I posted something on Headfi. Seeing as how there seems to be a growing interest in the Sony MDR-SA5000 headphones, I figured I’d contribute a review regarding them. I hope it will be of some use to those trying to choose...

---------------------------11/09 UPDATE------------------------- Please note: I no longer recommend stuffing of the ear cups with Fiberloft and have not for some time (stuffing pads is still strongly recommended). If you are intent on trying it, please be prepared to remove it when you...

I sold my Audio Technica W5000's. I sold my Beyerdynamic DT880's.   I heard the Stax 404LE + SRM 323 (not sure on the amp) set at a local meet a year ago and I loved it. It was by far my favorite of all the headphones there, which included an L3000, LCD-2, The R10 and an unfortunately broken...
