As the snow settles here in the Great North, many of us will be spending a bit less time outdoors, which means more time for headphones! Get a chance to hear some incredible gear. Join our local Facebook group and let us know you are coming or comment below. Event here...

This is exciting news for Sennheiser fans, studio engineers, and head-fiers on the linear tip. Sennheiser's classic HD 250 has been reborn, with a signature as close as possible in range of 5 new headphones. Sound reproduction modelled on the legendary HD 250 Linear "For inspiration during...

Date Saturday Jan 27th 10am Hey Edmonton and Alberta area head-fi enthusiasts. We had a great time at our past meet, with a great selection of gear, members and guests. Typically our meets are small, which is good, as we get more chance to check out all the cool gear. @swich401 is looking...

The Sennheiser HD250 Impression Thread Sennheiser HD250 Linear 600ohm (background) with modern day HD700 Well, I’ve only had the Sennheiser HD250 for a short while, but long-enough to realize what an incredible classic I have come across. Even more surprising, there is little fanfare...

First off I want to shout out to @Windsor, whose 2012 comparison thread this is a homage to. His thread and related reviews factored into a number of my headphone purchases over the years (HD650, LCD2, Amperior, and HD700).   For the fun of it, I've stuck to a similar review format that he...

The True Meaning of Summit-Fi... ...is whatever you take to the top.   A simple little rig like the one above (iPod 6th Gen and Sony MDR-EX7550) is by no means 'perfect', but it doesn't have to be. Hiking my way to the summit with these were some of the enjoyable listening experiences I've...

Comparing a new favourite with some studio classics. I wanted to get my impressions down on these headphones, primarily as I recently sold the HD650 to a friend. In doing this comparison and listening test, I found that the headphones showed their strengths and flaws uniformly. While there...

The Naturespace Appreciation Thread (and discussion on all manners relating to exploring recording soundscapes) Thought I'd like to create a thread for those whose headphones rigs are in part driven by a pursuit to virtually explore binaurally recorded audio scapes, thunderstorms, rain showers...

Comparing the D600 up against Sennheiser Amperior and Sony MDR-EX600. Might be a good comparison for those that have one of these and want to know how it stacks up against the others. I was longtime owner and user of the HD-25. Recently I acquired the Sennheiser Amperior which has the sound of...

I've been searching for something that did this well. Not only has this been created in part by a sound and mastering engineer (http://www.devinkerr.com/) who knows his stuff, but the interface design is fantastic as well.    While it has some initial presets for some gear like SRH-840s, it...

Going to keep this short. I'm hoping others can chime in with their input. Essentially using Digital Signal Processing can compensate for loss-of-perceived loudness as well as present a more natural stereo field. From time-to-time, I listen to headphones for an extended period (3+ hours). I...

AKG K27i Review I was set on buying a set of PX100s for my new iPod Nano 1GB. Apparently the one that was on hold for me wasn't in inventory... Luckily, my eyes discovered an attractive, minimalist, almost Apple-esque white box with the AKG logo and the words "K27i" on it. I had forgot...

My first post here. I wish I had found this site earlier this month. But it wasn't until I bought my AKG K271s that I started thinking "hey, these are good, but what else is there?" So what will deliver the most accurate lo and mid bass? A friend of mine has some slightly modded Koss Pro...
