Sometimes when headphone companies add a variation to their pre-existing model they don't always change the model name.  Most recently, the Audeze LCD-2 (one of my favorite headphones) which has a few variations in cosmetics and most recently in sound signature.   How do you feel about this...

Maybe the title sounds like an essay. Quite not so. It's a question. Look at the flagships of the past. Qualia 010, SR-007 Mark II, R10, HE90... With headphone technology that we have now, what can still be improved upon? Lighter, stiffer diaphragms? Magnets with denser magnetic flux? More...

I found this on Amazon, for the $4000+ MDR-R10. I found it funny. You can find the full page here. Anyways...here's the review I've been awkward in bringing about:   "First off, I was perplexed to see that Amazon placed this product in their "electronics" section and became increasingly...

I was going to purchase a pair of Sennheiser HD598, but I really want a closed headphone. I am looking to something that sounds clear and detailed and not fatiguing. Can anyone recommend a great pair that is reasonable? Thanks

Disclaimer   This is my first review in head-fi. While I do own many IEMs, I'd say my observation capacity and analysis of sound signatures is certainly basic. Similar is the case with my 'audiophile vocabulary'. I've tried to use jargon, which I hope I have understood correctly - through...

FISCHER AUDIO FA-011       (EDIT- JUNE 15, 2011 - BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE END OF THE REVIEW FOR STUFF THAT MIGHT HELP YOU!!!!)   Fischer Audio is at it again! Before you discount these headphones as another Fischer Audio plot, please allow me to explain why you might absolutely...

Last night I had a dream featuring headphones.   I came upon a dimly lit library with many shelves. Rather than having books on the shelves, various headphones were present. From left to right they seemed to increase in quality. On the left there were headphones such as Koss PortaPros and...

The new Stereophile arrived in the mail today and has a full review, by Wes Phillips, of the AKG K 701s. He mentions Head-Fi, the New York meet in Nov. 2005, and Tyll etc. and does a long review of the phones. Wes seems to like them, "the AKG K 701s are the best sounding headphones I've...

My objective with this thread is to create a a list for the newer members that details the "full name" and price of all of the headphones targeted at a more head-fi like audience (so well skip the cheap / no name headphones that are just that for a reason). When i first made my way over here to...

Simple as that.

My mother came to visit me and my brother today (she lives in Ohio, we live in WA. state)... she's staying in the area about a week. She knows about my headphone hobby, but never thought much about it (shook her head in disbelief when I said I spent over $600 on headphone-related gear, LOL)...

Guys, I want to know the most natural sounding pair of headphones you've heard. It kind of means, the most accurate reproduction but not exactly. I mean when the drummer hits the snare and you hear it and it fades out in the right amount of time and you think to yourself "man that's what a snare...

$98   REALLY?!? I bought the things EIGHT YEARS AGO!!! I only paid $150 for them!!! and they are giving me $98 because they didn't have replacement transducers for them? SCORE!. Authorized sony repair FTW!!

I'm curious to find out what folks here consider the best closed cans currently on the market? That's not including discontinued and crazy-expensive closed headphones, such as the Sony R10s.   As a side note, here's my current situation:   I have some Denon AH-D7000s and I'm generally...

Sony announced new flagship headphones: MDR-Z1000. Expected in November.          The MDR-Z1000, which is pictured above, features 5Hz – 80kHz frequency response, 24Ω impedance, and 108dB/mW sensitivity.  Price tag: $735.   Source: CrunchGear.

I lucked into a pair of Sony R10's for an amazing price, but of course there was a reason - one of the drivers is totally shot (completely beyond repair - it looks like the previous owner tried to have it repaired or repaired it himself, and the diaphragm's torn, the coil leads are gone, etc). ...

  I haven't had enough information about this atm, accidently found this piece of news on the Sony's software download/service page.   The image looks pretty real tho.    Check it out!    

I found these headphones somewhere in my house. I have no idea how I how them, but they are interesting looking.     Anyone know what walkman they came with? They are very comfortable, non fatiguing. I could listen to them for probably 5hours, longer than I could listen to my grados...

I've been an R10s owner for some time.  But I have never been satisfied with one particular aspect of them.  Which is the correct way to store these headphones:   Fat Side out or Thin Side Out?   There are benefits and problems with both ways:   Fat Side Out:   Headphones look...

I've been comparing my entire headphone collection. Using my 307A and MSB Platinum III. I have been doing an extensive write up which I plan to share with Head-fi in the coming months. The Writeup is huge though and since I'm really putting effort into it, I want to make sure that I review as...

Hi, I'm one of those guys who bought this headphone back around '01-'02, and never really strayed from it. I know it's old and hard to get or maintain these days, but I still love the sound. I recently experimented with modding it by simply applying duck tape to the the inside of the ear...
