I have them both (actually I have never used 2050, but I used Pro80 a lot->the 2050 seems to exagerate problems of Pro80)   The 671 are more midcentric As to say they kind of are good when they play loud. The 2050 have some midbass hump, while 671 slowly die out (and the bass is not that...

And Takstars HD5000 have generally OK sound, subbass + 'cleared' (meaning that high bass region is down a notch) normal sounding mids + diminished highs, (but not super dark or anything); they are comfortable   The takstars hd6000 are balanced with bass emphasis, you can get them like 70$? but...

"a poor man's version of HD25IIs is basically what i'm looking for." superlux 562 Hehe, I paid for them like 20$ (standard price is 30$ I think) They have bass   The philipse CitiScape Fixi has subbass, and a much of bass (not much as superlux 681) with generally normal sounding mids...

@Radio_head Really nice review having that 'for audiophile' quality  But I have to spot that you did not use the word 'veil' in the description, Like 'lifting yet another veil from the musical presentation' Which makes me thing that those amp makes some things good, but the sound becomes...

:O That is something new for electrical enginering, and probably for general english too (to amplify = provide better quality) But maybe =Alchemist= explains it

I will add a comparision to 701: Bass = more midbass, and less subass than 701, 701 is more tight, and for me 701 have a hint of warmth (if you ignore boosted treble), but 671 are warm (even muddy in comparison) Mids = 701 have a boost which makes female vocals sound good, on 671 the mids are...

On mp3store forum (polish site, google translate it) there are some reviews of them.   I (still) have them, but I have not used them much (but for instance I've used a lot Pro80 and HD6000, even HD5500 seems to be better), As for flaws, I would say: - The bass does not go down (there is not...

Takstar HD6000, for me this is like 80% of He500 [especially considering pop and electronic music]   But...   Technika hpss1124, this is like poorman's HE-500 (going torwards some dynamic version of old ortho-yamaha), only it weights like 1/10 of Hifiman, and costs like 1/100 price :).  ...

I would go with HE-500 (or maybe HE-560, but HE-500 are on 'sale') for that occasion (maybe with their amp 200-250$ amp) I'm posting it because for me the only sense of bying HE-500 is the case when you just buy them and forget about the rest. Like for me they are not that good to pay 3x the...

That is very big Bull$hit   Basically third of the POP [half of euro-pop/dance] music have a 30 or 40 Hz,bass line (at least the last time I've checked)   Not to mention harder EDM stuff (like Minimal, dubstep, GOA)   If you go to 20Hz, that is mainly some experimental techno/electro stuff...

That would be more advanced version :), good point.   What I would like to do is Signal/Ground from left headphone to inputA on the sound card (Left Signal/Ground) Signal/Ground from right headphone to inputB on the sound card (Right Signal/Ground)   Maybe I got some parts wrong, but when...

As separate sources I mean hear: 1) mainly soundcards which have few identical analog paths + separate DAC on each path (like Zxr paths for rear/center chanels) 2) Two same cards placed in one computer (lets say one path would get doubled left chanel the other doubled right chanel)   Where...

I would say that is the wrong question. Because most comfortable over-the-ear headphones for me were some 8$ ones just because the headband got so streached that the cups did not touch my ears... (and it stayed on my head too) Not to mention some very light on-ear-design, which you basically...

I have a funny thought experimen: Here I would considered D/A chip, but this can be easily extended into DACs and amps Lets take into consideration units size * manufacture gain, I would (very roughly) guess that this numbers are like: Realtec HD =: 100mln * 10cents = 10mln $ PCM 179x =...

RE "Drivers: 89mm" That is impresive.   But still would consider(repeat) (since something like XB910 got recomendation) - Takstar HD5500, cleared sound by droping low mids [those were recommended by some bass fan on the takstar thread; I own them but still preferer the Pro80/HD6000) - Somic...
