My bad it's the Viso HP50. I've got the Nad Masters series in my mind. Looking at you M12/M22.

 


All right so do you agree to volunteer, buy them HP50 and compare them to the HD250? + Write a lengthy review about it with some high rez pics (no iFone pics please) thrown in along the way?

Of course not.
 
Ask http://www.head-fi.org/u/80365/padam if he listened to the HP50 if you want an impression from a HD250 owner.

I was just wondering how does first version of Linear different compared to Linear II? I heard so many good reviews on Linear II, but can't find much about the Linear I.

Hi, I haven't used any Beyerdynamic headphones so I cannot comment, although I have read that the DT880 is very good (I don't know). I have used the Sennheiser HD600 but this has upper bass emphasis (drums and beats REALLY thump) and overall does not beat the HD250, in my opinion. My former HD600 did have an excellent neutral midrange though. My former AKG K550 also had great neutrality but lacked real, immersive sound dynamics, from what I remember hearing. If you're not listening to vinyl (i.e you listen to digital audio), I been given reason to believe that the Sennheiser HD800 performs very close to the HD250II. The HD800 is very expensive however and even though I'm quite confident that the HD800 would produce a superior stereo image to the HD250II, it may not actually be as musically enjoyable. I don't know as I haven't used the HD800...


There is only one device left that I've used that I like more than the HD250. It's still in production fortunately; Etymotic ER-4S, an In-Ear Monitor. This device offers very transparent, realistic sound. So far, there is nothing else in production that I've tried that I like more than the ER-4S.

I have both the HD250II & HD800 and let me tell you that the HD250 produces a much much better stereo image than HD800. I also own the HD540 (both Ref I and Ref II) and the HD250 II is even better than those in that regard!! It has the best mids that I've ever heard in any cans and the bass reaching low as hell without EVER bleeding into those MAGICAL mids!! This is truly a underrated headphone and sadly forgotten by many in the HeadFi community.
