After a few years of sitting in a box as parts, I finally decided to put back my mdrv6.  Sound is fine, except it is now reversed (right is left, left is right).  Anyone familiar with the wiring?  Possibly have a picture of yours lying around?   t.i.a!

i would also rule out the hd280s for portability... they're quite bulky and larger than what they seemed in pictures. (they're not the smoothest sounding cans either, not bad.. just not that great) but they do isolate rather well (comparitively). i also own the a700, and while i highly...

i love my ur40 - though i have to admit, it took awhile for me to get used to the sound. by far the easiest to wear for long periods of time.

seems to me like the headphones would interfere with the surround effect. or vice-versa. on the other hand, i know people have discussed using a sub to compliment headphones. i sometimes use a closed phone over my iems for more bass and isolation- which sounds pretty incredible. i use my...

if you're brave and sure you want to do it: find two suitable "plates" that the pads will lie flat between. put the "sandwich" in a pot, fill with water. put something heavy enough to compress the sandwich down and heat. dont boil. about bath water hot should be sufficient. the amount of...

i have to go along with most everyone here. unless you plan on doing some modding to them, the bass doesnt have much impact - but overall it does extend quite well into the lower, sub-bass freqs. personally i struggled with their comfort for awhile. had to do some rather extensive modding to...

im stoked! i guess i won some sort of contest or drawing for reviewing the a700 i bought from them earlier.

just received an airborne package from japan. audio-technica ath-f55 - no other documentation or explanation packaged with it. but i do remember filling out a review on my a700 awhile ago. i just checked audiocubes.com and saw my name on the front page! how exciting.

i use four at work. all four are hooked up to my presonus hp4 (4 headphone outs). if it weren't for the presonus, i'd probably just use one. just 1 at home. just 1 for portable.

its too far removed from memory as to what the actual differences were. but i think the conclusion i came to was that by removing the foam behind the drivers, a little low end was gained, but some lower mids were lost (impact). in the end, i ended up putting 4 cotton balls behind each driver...

hard for me to parse all of the above information, but i will chime in my experience... i have both a700 and v6, and had the v900 (broke long ago). in my opinion, the a700 is leagues above both of the other cans in just about every category. comfort of the v900 was good though. i can't...

my a700 fits that description perfectly for me. i tend to listen at a much lower volume with those than any other of my cans. i think their slightly pronounced highs and lows just give it the right amount of inherent "loudness" effect thats perfect for lower volume listening. as opposed to my...

Nellie McKay - The Dog Song

i say stick with your senns and be happy. personally, i can enjoy most any phone if i give my ears/head enough time to adjust.. then something "clicks" and i "want more bass" or i "want more clarity" or whatever. then the endless cycle of owning more/better headphones continues.

seems to me, the sr60s are the darlings of the headphone community. i havent read about one other headphone that gets more praise or even talked about more. and this is all related to its sound quality and the price you can get it for. since you've never heard any grado - i couldnt possibly see...
