    A solution for running (player + headphone) < 200$

    Hi , My old earbuds for sport died because of broken cables (ksc 75 & pmx 680). That's why I thought it might be a good idea to switch to something wireless . But my old sansa player doesn't support Bluetooth (also it's probably outdated) , and I don't want to run with a smartphone.(Mine is...

    Below 500$, upgrading the srh940 (closed headphoone)

    hi, the headband of my srh940 has cracked, and I'm looking for something better in built quality , and that keeps some "aspect" of the srh940 sounds.   What I really liked on the srh940, is a bit some "aggresivity" on the  sound, which seems perfect for some fast-paced psytrance (or...

    Headphones you can wear around neck ? (like monster beats)

    hi, I know how much people find the beat pro overpriced here. I'd like to know if there are good alternative  you could put "around the neck", and enough built quality / sound quality. I find it convenient, the idea that you could keep the headphones with you everywhere you move (by  keeping...

    Did I discover a new "magical" crossfeed ? (plugin Crosstalk from sleepy time).

    I  tried before many crossfeed before without much success ( bs2b , foo_dsp_xfeed, tb isone, dolby headphone, I've even done some "custom solution" ...).   What I  wanted , is to play music "on the background" with my headphone, while working  on my pc. The hd800 is one headphone more...

    Listened for first time monsters headphone, not that bad.

    Well, there was the three headphone (beats pro, beats studio, beats solo)  demoed in some virgin (mega ?) store . There was a kind of stand, with a built in player , and it was for me the opportunity to try them for the first time ( in Morocco , there's not too much store of that kind).  ...

    How to “create” a crossfeed (the steps).

    I didn’t like much the existing crossfeed solutions (software-based only).  I found they damage transients and when I listen with my hd800 it becomes obvious.  Curiously when I try to perform the crossfeed myself, using some high qual  eq , the result is more convincing. I will explain here how...

    mx980, for the bed , worth it ? missing my k317.

    hello, I'm really missing my akg k317 ear buds ( broken ) .  I  loved their treble, and wide soundstage.  In the online store I plan to buy, I only found the k318, and that doesn't seem a good replacement  : the k318  look thinner, so I  guess the driver is smaller; also I don't want an apple...

    Improving srh940 experience with M7 reverb (and perhaps other headphones)

    I'm using a reverb effect with my srh940, and I found it improves the experience in many areas (so much for a single dsp effect...). It's not that the srh940 are not enjoyable without the reverb, but I  found the sound more neutral & relaxing & with increased soundstage. Every time I tried to...

    hi, the ear  pads of my hd595 are a bit dirty, and I  wanted to remove the ear pads to clean them. I  followed some advice there , that you have to pull them "firmly but gently", and all I  managed is to crack them. Now I  want to clean them and sew them. But can't find any manual on...

    I was listening to the album Venereology by Merzbow, and was thinking : "This is obvious, this album is perfect for burning". At least you can listen to it , it's less boring than pink noise.

    Tempted by the akg k701, advices ?

    I already own earbuds from AKG (k317) , and love how they sound. I  thought by "extrapolation", that getting a full size heaadphone from AKG, would be cool. I  saw great reviews on the K701, they look nice, and I  can find them near 200 euros, which is in my budget range. However the pain...

    xornar stx for hd595, overkill ?

    hi, currently I have a Sennheiser hd595, which are my first (and perhaps last ) headphones at that price (160 euros). I was reading everywhere that to get decent sound you must at least spend 100$, and Sennheiser was the most popular brand it seemed. Although I prefer my hd595 over my...
