I've only seen a few models where the cable is replaceable and even has different cables for different applications(angled jack for portable, coiled, longer straight, etc.). Why don't more manufacturers implement this into their designs?

What can i expect? Its a well burnt in HFI2200, i have HD600, ZX700 and TDK, WR700 (very impressed with Kleer audio!). Is S-Logic effective, or. Nonsense?

Hi, thought these two links might be useful to people (maybe just newbies like me).   SoundStage! Reference Discs List http://www.soundstage.com/referencediscs/referencediscs.htm   Ultrasone Reference CD (download link) FLAC http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EP732YPC   Cheers

Hi headfiers   I am pondering getting new headphones but there is ONE thing that kills listening for me hard: sibilance. I belong to those people where, listening to a sibilant device, my ears are sensitive for hours to an end. So it's a no go.   But man, do many headphones have this...

Hi What portable amp would be the best for Sony MDR z1000 and Ultrasone Pro 900? Suggest 2 for me! One under $150 and one under $300.     Thanks    

So I recently came across an awesome deal for HFI-700's from someone in the area. Should I go for it or are headphones like the HFI-580's/680's major improvements?   What I'm looking for is: good hard-hitting bass, good mids (don't want recessed mids), good non-fatiguing highs. Basically an...

Hi guys,   I'm on the search for headphones that will give me good comfort a nice all round sound quality but also some nice bass. I am also a gamer and so wouldn't mind if the headphones included some surround sound effect. Also I wouldn't mind if it came with a microphone but if need be...

When I got my First set of nice Cans a year ago [the m50's] they really sounded like magic. But I really want to experiment here and I'm really looking to upgrade the arsenal and the problem is i'm not sure which way I want to go.   I do most of my serious listening at home but sometimes , I...

I've heard of both being used as dampening material. I have a hard time believing there isn't a clear winner between the two simply because of the huge differences (putty vs sheets). Anyone care to speak a little on the subject?

It looks like the Turtle Beach z6a uses an OEM of Ultrasone's headband, got me to thinking that perhaps a headband swap would make the HFi's more comfortable.  Anyone know of a distributor forTurtle Beach parts? 

The 2 I'm looking at right now are the ATH-A700s and the ATH-A900s. In general though how much better would $200 headphones be than $100 ones? Is the sound quality "twice" as good or does it not scale that well? The most expensive sound card I'd probably be plugging into it is an ASUS Xonar DG...

I am USAF currently forward deployed in Iraq.  I have a lot of time and not much to do when I am not on duty, so I find myself listening to my iPod and headphones a lot more than usual.  When I was at home I typically would only listen to music in my car which has a pretty good stock sound...

I gotta buy a pair of ultrasones after all the reviews I've read! This is my first pair of Full sized headphones so i'm really not a audiophile, but i'm really thankfull for tips from all you that is!   I'm mostly lisstening to mainstream like pop, house, rap... No classic music and no old...

I have been reading as much as I can about the Ultrasone headphones and their proprietary S-Logic engineering. It seems to me that when someone listens to headphones, that the impression of its excellence should be fairly immediate. However, it has been said on many threads here that, because of...

This is my first thread on head fi and i apologise if there is already a thread like this or if this is in the wrong place. Anyways, i'm thinking of buy'n my self some decent headphones and did some research here on head fi and some other sites. I listen mostly to mainstream hip hop and i like...

I used image s4 and then got the ath m50 after the klipsch tore and I returned it....   Can someone compare these two? I bought the full size in part to avoid weak cords and flimsiness found with IEMs but also because I assumed that the bass is much louder and fuller with these.  I love the...

Hello,   I am listening to Rock and Metal Music for 25 years. I got a very good loudspeaker but I had to sell them because of job-related reasons.   Now I looking for the a headphone showing me Rock (Hard Rock, Classic Rock, AOR, Stoner Rock, etc.) and Metal (Heavy Metal, True Metal...

I recently had a quality issue with my beloved Edition 8 LE headphones (late Saturday night...9 days ago). I remembered that I had Randy Fuch's (from Ultrasone North America) phone number on an email from when my warranty was registered (7 years of warranty coverage), so I called to leave him a...

  I recently started spending more time listening to headphones when before I was listening almost entirely to speakers.   I noticed that this has affected my ears in some negative ways, including causing mild but persistent high-frequency tinnitus.   My SPL meter (with the cardboard...

Hello all, I'm looking to get another headphone. These headphone will be played on my ipod touch 3rd gen using the fiio e7, and on my laptop. Music choices are all kind of rock, classical a little, dubstep and very little rap hip.hop. Bass isnt very important to me. I'm more of a guy who wants...

Hi I am new around these parts and I am new to hight quality headphones.I am looking for my first pair of high quality headphones.i tried the m50's last night I really liked them but I thought the bass was a little muddy.So I did some research around and saw some posts about ULTRASONE how they...

I have Grados now, but am getting Ultrasones soon, and my mom and my best friend are dumbfounded because I already have headphones. I don't understand why they can't comprehend that there are different models just like with cars or other products.

OK so here is the problem. I am thinking about getting myself a good pair of headphones. SOUND QUALITY is key. Looks are preferable as well. Im leaning pretty far twoards a pair of Dr. Dre Beats because of the quality and the great bass. I mainly listen to songs with base but i do listen to...
