My brother's earbuds which look like iPod earbuds, only a lot crappier sounding. He's getting a pair of Yuin Pk.2 on his birthday from me.

I feel the same way about those Sony 'phones!

MDR-V150 = Headache

For comparison, the MDR-G42 totally trashes those..

Then of course there's Durabrand and Digital.

Agree mostly... the KSC75 is pretty good for the price though, and the 580 is a tad better than the 650...


BUT, I can not get past the veil on the sennheisers. It is unacceptable, and I can't believe there are so many people that can't hear it (or at least that's what they claim).

And if it exists on an amp that is able to drive it sufficiently without distortion or clipping (and most are), moving up to an insanely expensive amp will NOT get rid of it. If any amp were to so drastically change the frequency response, then there would be something radically wrong with it.

Now... I do believe that Sennheiser designed the HD580/600/650 around a specific shaped ear, and people who are closer to that shape will hear it closer to how it was designed to sound, and that people who are farther from it will not. I am quite far from it.

Razer Barracua HP1, I wish I never bought them. I wish I wasnt stubborn and went for the pair of ATH-AD700 which I have now over those.

Rear had the no bass and it didnt sound surround at all because of that. Luckly was able to sell them off.

Nope I think the Denons are better than the Sennheisers in every way possible.

However, to be fair, I mostly listen to my AKG K501s or MDR-F1s, not because they sound better, but because they are really "different".
