    Oppo PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphone Impressions Thread

    Thanks all for the advice. I'll check out the Meze and Susvara sugestions. Also... I've thought about this, but aren't they rarer than hen's teeth? I guess if someone here wants to sell your set, give me a shout in DM (and I'll also keep an eye out in the Classifieds). I won't hold my...

    Headphones ~ $300 Classical/Instrumental Music

          Just out of curiosity - is music like the above (orchestral soundtrack music from big budget action movies) considered "classical"? I've noticed that a lot of the time it tends to be mastered much edgier (more forward, compressed, and eq'd to be unnaturally "exciting") than traditional...

    Ultrasone Earpad mod

    Hiya, I tried searching, but couldn't quite find a definitive answer... The pleather on the earpads of my 6 month old DJ1's are already hard and starting to crack. Sigh. Time to investigate velour or leather. Does anyone know if any of the velour earpads here will fit the DJ1...

    Cushy, Circumaural, Macbook... Help Please

    Howdy all, I need help. I've searched and read the archives (rinse, repeat) and can't quite find what I'm looking for. I'm wondering what the great Head-Fi gurus recommend. I'm probably being way too picky, but here's my Wish List: 1. Low impedance (Source is a MacBook Pro, no amp - I...
