Which ones to keep? HD6XX, AKG K7XX, Shure SRH-1840, HE4XX
Yes, agree.. I could have bought a display model but I saw 1) Cracked veneer 2) the headphone connector was not working properly on one side, when moving you could hear cuts.... So I guess the v2 addresses those, but at 3k I think it's, is just insane... beside, I get to enjoy open designs less...- damianmb

Upgrade path from Burson HA-160D?
Hello, I have this DAC/Amp combo... I'm wondering how much better I can get after this. I do love that it has multiple inputs (I use currently only two of them) and looks nice and solid. I know the DAC section is the weak one and I do have a Dacport LX connected to it, so the sound comes...- damianmb

Which ones to keep? HD6XX, AKG K7XX, Shure SRH-1840, HE4XX
Hello guys, I have these open headphones and wanna know your opinions about keepers. I do listen to music and nothing professional. I'm mostly feeding them from a Burson HA-160D, Dac sometimes switched to a Dacport LX (sound gets cleaner) and occasionally from my mac on a DragonFly Red. Shure...- damianmb

Review by 'damianmb' on item 'Sony MDR-1000X'
Build Quality You cannot expect to pay 400 USD for a NC wireless headphones, then after a couple of uses you can hear creaks all over, thus defeating the NC itself. I would avoid these because of quality issues.. I have Bose QC15 with years of use, I only had to change the earpads, the rest is...- damianmb

Denon AH-MM400
Thanks.. i gently pulled them off and were easily removed, putting them back is a little trickier. The 1840 are way too big for them.- damianmb

Denon AH-MM400
Once you remove the pads.. done? You cannot put them on again? Also.. I have a Shure SRH1840 with extra velour pads... would they fit? they seem bigger than the stock ones.- damianmb

E-MU Wooden Series Headphones
Does anyone knows which ones (if they are there) are the zebras here? It's difficult to get Chan to send me pics :/ Also no other housing has the same sound signature as the Teaks? http://emu.com/index.php/gallery/housing- damianmb

E-MU Wooden Series Headphones
Thing is, at least from the pictures, I don't like the look of the teak wood. According to this http://www.lawtonaudio.com/type3woods.html it should give a natural tone. For the pics I've seen, E-MU is miles away from the Lawton quality, but again... I would never pay like 450 usd just...- damianmb

E-MU Wooden Series Headphones
I asked Emu also and I'm quite confused about the wood selection and also the price seems went up a lot? Teak headphones with detachable cable are 500. Cups: $120 for Ebony, Palo Santo $100 for Rose, Mahogany, Purple Heart, Sabili, Zebra He suggested to take Teak + Ebony to...- damianmb

It's just amazing he has a HD800 and does't even use a proper DAC. To be honest it's a useless review. I'm still more surprised you bought a O2 with 0 knowledge...- damianmb

How is BURSON HA-160D today?
Correction, the burson can be had for 325 USD used. Something like the Hifiman HE2C can be had new for 136 USD. So I wonder if the burson is so superior to that one or even a Chord Mojo.- damianmb

Amp/Dac combo for Shure SRH 1840
I'll wait till I get some closed headphones that I like... maybe these are too analytical and adding the not so much bass, some recordings sound harsh. I'll check out the tube amp though.- damianmb

Amp/Dac combo for Shure SRH 1840
Hello, I currently drive them with a Dragonfly v1.2 and they are kind of dry... I know the cans are neutral but a little warmness and punchy bass would help. There is a used Alo The Island here for around 90 USD but not sure if I should get something from Massdrop. I have somewhere a...- damianmb

DT 770 Pro 250 ohms compared today
Hello, I can get a barely used DT 770 PRO 250 ohms for around 90 usd. So I was wondering how it compares to today's headphones as I understand they are quite old. Other options I have in mind are Oppo PM3, Sony 1000X and Denon MM400, but they are much more expensive. I plan to leave them...- damianmb

Oppo PM-3 vs Sony 1000X?
Hey there, Couldn't find a post about this. I was able to try the 1000X but not the Oppo. I have a B&W P5 and a Scullcandy Crusher but as my reference headphones are Shure SRH1840 and Shure SE535, once a use the portables they kind of lack a lot in the sound department. I also have Bose...- damianmb
