So I'm planning on purchasing a Schiit Lyr to use with my Audeze Lcd-2's that I'm gonna purchase soon, right now I have the Shure SRH840's and the HD598's will this amp work with these 2 headphone's i.e. 6 Watts, and how will the sound be, thanks.

What do you think? If not then where starts the High End? At what price or quality point?

Hello!   I am a new user here at Head-Fi and I'm currently in the process of searching for a pair of cans that will satisfy my inner audiophile. However, I have arrived at a crossroads and have become very indecisive in regards to which type of headphones I truly desire. My criteria for my...

Kanen KM-880 Stereo Headphone Earphone - Focalprice.com It says "premium wood" so it must be real, right? I'm sure they are junk but yet I am tempted to buy some just to mess with. Maybe the wood is actually real, and if so could be used to mod some more worthy cans? Or maybe the wood is...

Any suggestions for getting these balanced? I'm looking for a warmer sound, especially in the upper midrange. If anyone has had experience balancing these (Grado PS1000s, Denon D7000s, or Ultrasone Edition 8s) I'd appreciate your findings. I really enjoy my Aphrodite Cu29 balanced Beyer T1s...

I am looking for a desktop amp and my computer will be the source. Which one do you think is the best as I can get them both for about the same price. My headphones are Ultrasone Ed 8, Denon 7000's, AKG Q701's, and HD-800's. Also looking for a high end Grado, I miss my GS1000's. Also which is...

im looking for some portable closed cans for the daily commute. I mostly listen to rock and blues etc but dabble in all genres. I want something with excellent sound quality and decent isolation. Im not a basshead and prefer natural sounding bass. What do you guys suggest?

I posted a while back when Ken Rockwell posted his HD-800 review... so I when I saw his Ultrasone Edition 8 review I thought I'd post up again.   http://kenrockwell.com/audio/ultrasone/edition-8.htm   I also noticed he has some other audio reviews including some Stax impressions.  ...

Hi, after read some posts here, I think LCD2 and D7000 shines on the same spot, that is bass department.   So, which is better for overall musicality?   What are the differences between LCD2 and D7000 in terms of sound quality, which is better?       Thanks in advance.

......I'm new to this area.  Really wanted some headphones for movies, so I started reading. Have been reading for several days and mentioned headphones include: 1. Denon AH D2000, D5000, D7000 2. Ultrasone (good for surround sound?) 3. Sennheiser HD650 4. Beyerdynamics DT770, 880...

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...

Has anyone tried the Ed 8s with the PS AUdio GCHAs?  I've looked through the various threads but wasn't able to find anything, although people seem to like this amp with the Denon 5000s and 7000s.   And does anyone know whether B&H or other retailers are offering the Ed 8s at a discount?  I...

I already have an Edition 9. I want to get another headphone, such as edition 8. Is it not recommended to have both the 8s and 9s? ... I will use them balanced, with SR-71B. Hifiman as source. So keep that in mind when giving a recommendation.

              Hello enthusiasts or people who might be interested in one person's take on these ultra expensive cans.             Before I begin, I would just like to state that I don't consider myself to be an ultra hardcore audiophile. Haviing said this, however, I do listen to a fair...

Hey guys, it's me Triple8Fidelity. This is my first review and also venture into head-fi.   First of all, i'm a music student at Monash University specializing in 'cello. I listen to a lot of  classical music works, many which I have played in e.g. Beethoven's 9th, Carmina Burana, Elgar...

I am not concerned about cosmetic variations nor build quality         Sorry if this has been discussed before    Thanks    

Are the ED8 a good all around can? I listen to a wide variety of music and wonder if the cost of this headphone would be justified to replace multiple sets. I like the form factor for transportability. My main concern revolves around their performance in regards to trance. I love the Pro 750 for...

Hello all !   My boss asked me today to help him find a pair of head phones ...   1. Money is no object 2. listens to a lot of house/rnb 3. style is as important as performance... (cringe) 4. wants them for outdoor use. 5. will be driving them from an iphone   I'm only really...

I love a wide soundstage , it may be artificial but the K501 are my ultimate cans for soundstage. I have a few quid spare and am thinking about trying some Ultrasones , the Zinos appeal (love or hate with them it seems) but i am struggling to understand how an offset driver can really create a...

Just found an article about the Edition 8s. Few facts: -They should be out around 04/2009. -A newer, "S-Logic Plus" is used. -Ethiopian sheep leather is used again, and the entire headband is covered this time. -Instead of plastic, Ruthenium was used in the housing. -The inner...

I am loving the sound of my UE8's through my iPod and iQube amp ... the soundstage is huge and the instruments are splashed all over the place ... amlost too splashed.  I was wondering if Crossfeed would tame this down a little bit.  I have been thinking about a Decware Zen portable amp for this...

Now, At home, I don't really use headphones because I started with speakers, and am buying headphones in order to take my music on the move. Does anyone have any experience powering the T1's with a portable amp? The ED8's? Or 9's? Portable is a must! I listen to Alternative Rock, Electronic...

Hello, I've decided to get my audio addiction to a new level and I plan to get a very nice sounding home system in the near future (to me that means around 2 years). However, I'm also in the process of replacing my IEMs with portable headphones (due to fit issues, not related to the tips but...

- First of all, the isolation on offer. Is it anything like the regular closed Ultrasones? - Secondly, the cup size: Could you measure the external cup height, width and depth?     Many thanks
