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...

I bought 2050 on some promo. And mine 2050 took like few hours to get rid of the shrill highs, and actually I was suprise with the amount of bass there (kind of on the neutral side); the drawback for me is that they haven't much expanded width of headstage as I would hope (there is some feeling...

Which headphones give most real (exact) voice reproduction? And I mean here on a good/standard equipment (like for instance Xonar STX) not passed through some magical tube amplifier which 'rounds the unrouded'   Technically, there is something like voice distant feeling factor, for instance...

"- The sound (and here also bas levels) differs very much with volumn levels, even from amplified sources (like STX or added fiio amplifier to smartphone) they sound really unimpressive" I meant here, that on low volumn levels they (HE500) sound unimpresive; because at larger volumns they are...

I've bought some time ago HE500, and actually did some more or less extensive comparison to HD600 (and Takstars Pro80). First I've wanted to compare them to HD800, but found out that there is too much conceptual diffrence between those 2: - one strives to be a neutral headphone for good...

I think the title should be more like subjective. But it is kind of objective in the sence that I'm just stating a fact of my observation (using my own 'instruments' though), and not saying which I prefere

Introduction: I once asked for a quantitative description of heaphones headstage width, but kind of did not get the anwser. So after doing some investment (those HD800 don't come cheap!), I found the anwser on my own (those are my subjective values, so you will not feel that wasy, and I...

Mentioning HE-500, they are so soundwise similar to Pro80 (to me)... (techinically they are much better, but for just music listening..., however it seems like HE500 have fixed problems of Pro80, especially the closeness). - more mid emphasis on Pro80, little bit of thonk compared to HE500...

RE: castleofargh Actually I meant Takstars HD6000, not Sennheisers HD600 as the isolating headphones   RE:stv014 Thank you for changing rather abstract idea into such lovely plots

Just one more calculus on the quantization problem:   Info: This process will be done assuming that there is no dithering, where you would trade of something like 1-2bits for some small noise.   So lets assume that we have simple 'music' consiting of 2 sine waves. One of them has value of 1...

I thinik you have the wrong midnset/assumptions.   I have similar problem with the need for amplification. Like for instance Sennheiser HD600 reaches 94db (according to personalaudio.ru) at ~0.25V, so technically most of the smartphones can provide sufficient power for that headphones (or...
