Holy ****.   I just tightened the cable harder than I used to do on the HE-400. Gone is the interference/slopiness/resonance that was heard in the high frequency range.   It feels like I just bought an upgrade to my old HE-400's. :D Sublime

Experienxed the hiss at first as well, with samsung's own music player. The hiss was most apparent whenta song ends/starts. I played around with the settings and found out that turning off the "adapt sound" eliminates it on my UE700

Quote:   Hey Mary,   I recently bought the UE700's with the logitech logo on the box and the 'NOT' compatible comply eartips that came with the package. At first I put on the comply eartips on the UE700 and they would simply not 'adhere' to the housing, when I put them in my ears and...

Quote:     Yeah the UE900 are too expencive for my intended use.   I'm willing to sacrifice some in the audio quality region. The main thing that I'm looking for is good isolation, good comfort for my (right) ear and build quality. The key requirement is that it has to be able to...

Hi, I'm looking for a new pair of IEM's for around 150 euros ~ 150 dollars (since the price in dollars and price in euro's are usually the same, even though the dollar is worth less)   I need help looking for a pair that will fit my ears, since I have a weird right-ear. My right ear has a...

Not enough bass impact? They've got a lot and plenty with a Fiio E11, bass boost at 2, volume at 2 (slightly less in order to not screw with your hearing).   The HD25-II are lacking in 'oomph' without an amp, in my opinion. With my ipod classic, the bass is barely present.

Sony MDR-1R NC (noice cancelling)

At which spot in the library do you study? In the crowded area where you're allowed to discuss things, or in the 'silent' rooms where you study in private?   If you study a lot in the quiet rooms, or a near quiet place, I suggest you put your criteria more to comfort.       I myself...

Alright, I'll try and do that as soon as I can. The only amp I got though, is the fiio and the highest fidelity sound output I got is the iPod I guess (or my laptop; HP 8570w). I've got an exam this week and I'm moving to a new dorm. Will post back here :wink:

I wonder whether I got a faulty pair or not..   I bought my pair around juli 2012 from head-direct, I've got the Version 2, I guess. I read somewhere that they've got an update d version, am I right? I'm saying this because I think mine isn't performing as it should.   I'm using velour...

On campus (technological university), I've ofcourse seen a lot of beats. But what surprises me is the amount of Sennheiser HD25's I see (5 so far), I've got myself a pair aswell so it's easy for me to spot them. I usually see them on the head of fellow students biking to their respective...

Quoting Jude from his Head-Fi Holiday gift guide: "As far as sub-$500 closed headphones go today, I can't think of another I'd pick over the MDR-1R for long-term sit-down listening sessions, across a wide variance in recording quality, and a wide variety of musical genres."

Sony MDR-1R.   Really comfortable and sound quality is amazing. I switched due to sibilance reasons of the HD25. I was expecting some loss in sound quality but it's non-existant, an upgrade I suppose.

How do you guys put the HE400 on your head? I mean, where do you position your ear within the earpad? Do you put your ear-channel in the middle? Or do you put the earpad way to the front, so that the earpads make contact with the back of your ear? 

Haha I'm noticing that.   Though the vocals are better than the HD25 straight out of the box. :) And most importantly, no freaking sibilance.   I do dislike the cheap feeling of that shiny plastic. Red ring around the cans look amazing though.

I just picked up the MDR-1R. The fit of these is awesome, the clamping force is spot on, not too tight and not too weak, it's a bit more on the tighter than it's loose, I don't see these slipping off my head. The earpads fit nicely. Super comfortable. The cable feels sturdy and it's kind of...

AKG K167 Sennheiser HD25/Amperior Sennheiser Momentum ATH M-50   I know from those that theyve got good bass.   I currently own a pair of HD25, but I wouldnt recommend them for your GF because the clamping force will probably annoy her. I've ordered a pair of MDR-1R; from what I...

I'll happily wait for you to establish a well defined opinion :) I really get pissed off by the sibilance of the HD25, that's the biggest reason why I'm looking for a different portable.   I do like the treble, I guess. I mean, I gifted my sister a pair of Grado SR-60i and I've listened to...

I'm looking for an upgrade for my portable headphone (HD25). Does anyone own both the HD25 and 1r and can compare them? What I'm mainly interested in are: sibilance and bass. The HD25 is too sibilant for my ears and I hate it. However, I do like the bass of the HD25 and I'm looking for something...

HD25-1 II was my first buy and I upgraded to the HE-400 :)   I use them with a fiio e11. HE-400: the bass doesnt have that big oomph that the HD25 has, but I'm not dissapointed. The HE400 has less sibilance, better sound stage, seperation, clarity.   Overall, I'm happy with the HE-400.

How do these sound through the K167?     I love that song.           Can anyone compare them with the HD25? I find the HD25 too have too much sibilance (not on the track I posted though). I run the HD25 through an E11.

How is the bass of the HE-400 in comparison to the HD25? I see that you've got the adidas version in your collection :D  

I got the Hifiman HE-400 and I bought the Ipod Classic 7th generation shortly after. They all work fine except for one thing; the ipod classic randomly pauzes songs. This occurs even while the iPod is locked/on hold. It happens when I slightly tilt my iPod, but also when everything is laying...

Received mine today :D I thought I'd be getting it tomorrow, and so did (and still does) FedEx think. It was a welcome surprise! I ordered them from head-direct, from whom I also ordered the hifiman travelbag. They (head-direct) put the headphone etc.. into the travelbag and shipped the...

The nokia lumia line isn't getting WP8 due to one simple fact: it does not fit the hardware requirement. Even so, whats wrong with the current WP 7.5 OS, or the upcoming 7.8? Theres nothing wrong with it! Its perfectly usuable :S.   I wouldnt even want wp8 on my lumia 800, it works awesome...
