Hi, all. Interested in people's feedback on this thread. I listen to rock, country, bluegrass, edm, opera, and jazz--in roughly equivalent doses. I am not a basshead. I have several other cans, but none that fits in this precise niche. I appreciate the assistance very much!

Hi I bought Beyerdynamic dt-880 and Focusrite 2i2 because I need tools for music production. I'm beginner. Before I had Audio Technica SJ55 and Realtek 1150. When I tried DT 880 i heard: -bigger soundstage, all instruments were separate,contrast - many high frequencies ! I think a little bit...

Just wanted to see what the main differences are between the closed back HP100 and open backed HP200. Things like soundstage, bass quantity and quality, etc. There isn't a lot of info about these headphones so I wanted to start this thread for people like me that are cross shopping the two of them. 

Hello all.   I am currently using an old ipod (Rockboxed) with WAV files, Fiio dock out cable, Fiio E7 and Sennheiser HD 595's.   I am happy with this sound but like the rest of you guys I am chasing the next high.   I would prefer new cans as the Fiio E7 is a recent acqusition.  ...

Ok so im not an audiophile guy typically but i really need a good headset as some of the sounds that i hear coming out of my current sets sound worse to me by the day. i want a good pair of over-ears, preferably with a velvet ear cup like the hd 598's have (i believe). and i definitely would...

First of all I'd like to say HI! I've been lurking on this forum for a while and i thought it was about time for me to emerge from the shadows. :D   Anyway, I've read reviews on both the Soundmagic HP200 & Sennheiser HD600 , and nearly all of them sing praises. :P But I've yet to find a...

Hi Everyone,   I listen to all kind of music. I am about to decide whether to get a pair of AKG-Q701 or SoundMagic HP200 or Fidelio X1. I really appreciate if you can share your experience with any of these headphones. Thank you.   KR, Jocas

Hello. You have probably had millions of these threads but I wanted to know a good option to upgrade from my old cans, the ATH-m50s which i've had for 2-3 years now. They are starting to deteriorate and fall apart now.   I heard that the DT 770 PROs were excellent, but I don't know which...

Review on the SoundMAGIC HP100 Introduction It's been a while since my last review, but I'm back with another one on the closed-back, SoundMAGIC's HP100. I bought these headphones as an alternative to my HP200's and as an upgrade to my formerly owned, MrSpeakers' Mad Dog 3.2, as an open-back...

REVIEW: SoundMagic HP200 Short Intro: SoundMagic (SM) is already very well known in the audio gear market as a company that usually provides very nice sounding products for an affordable price. The old PL30 in-ear model was one of the most praised, and the newer E10 and E30 were well awarded...

Hey guys I'm trying to work out an entry-level setup that will allow me to switch between inputs from my Xbox 360, PC, and in future perhaps a PS4. So far the best option as far as I can see is the Maverick Tubemagic D1 which is reasonably cheap, has an amp/dac and lots of inputs. The D1 seems...

These are SoundMAGIC's 2nd full size headphones, after the excellent HP100   I have just recieved these for review, but unfortunately they have a channel imbalance problem, will see if i sort it out or if i have to send them back.   They look great with their open air design and they are...

Cant seem to find anyone selling them,.they been released yet?

Summary Verdict SoundMAGIC continues to impress with their full size models. The HP200s have great balance between accuracy and musicality making them a safe choice for home listening. They measure up really well against the best headphones in this price range. Pro’s Great build...

So, my ATH-WS99 just broke and I am looking to get new headphones to replace them.   I was thinking about hd598, but I mainly listen to trance and I have heard that they lack bass and would probably sound weird because I am used to bass heavy WS99 altough I have Fiio E17 amp/dac so I can bass...

I have a 10 yr old pr of Grado SR80, which I like, and RE-0 from HiFiMan, plus a couple Yuin...  All sub-$100.  I'm waffling between Senn HD-25-1 ll and V Moda crossfade m80 right now.  I'll probably use them primarily at home, mostly direct from a tube CDP (Eastern Electric minimax, which...

So I suppose I've got a case of upgrade-itis. After starting out with a couple of pairs of low end Senns I moved up to a pair of ATH-M50's. Overall I was pretty pleased with them. I liked that they were closed back for traveling. Then I realized I didn't want to carry these things around so I...

I currently have Sennheiser HD 555's (foam modded, they are pretty much out of order) driven by PC => optical => Creative X-Fi HD => RCA => Pioneer A-447. I honestly have no idea how capable the amp is to drive higher ohm headphones. I'm looking for a wide, separating and detailed sound and also...

Hi, I am new to this forum but have been reading reviews on this website.  Currently, I have a sennheiser HD439 and would like to upgrade to a better headphone with a buget of $200 I would like to know what's u guy's opinions on the best over-ear headphone under $200 I don't have a...

I am looking for a pair of.open cans for under 200. I have a pair of shure 840s and an e10 amp so something that would.work well with an e10 amp. Mainly for gaming so I prefer something with a large soundstage

I'm sorry 'cause I made another thread earlier wondering about the AD700, but I've made a decision that I feel warrants a new thread of entirely different price range.  To summarize, I spend a lot of my time gaming, but I also really like music and listening to commentaries.  I'm using a Xonar...

I am looking for: best mids for under $300, Open, over-the-ear full size headphone - to use at basement home office. Looking for soundstage and separation.   I have not yet experienced bass detail, nor airiness - curious about these characteristics.   I thought I had wanted treble...

My current set up is laptop-E17-DT990 I'm not looking for an upgrade but a change of taste. Without additional DAC or amp, which of those phones I listed is the best choice I listen to vocal mostly and watch a lot of movies.
