I used to own a K1000 and I remember that it had superb "outside the head" imaging. I sold it a while back. I just picked up a Hifiman HE-500 and I'm impressed with the imaging, and it does get "outside the head" and feel "open" almost to the degree the K1000 did, but it's been a while since I...

I have literally been listening for about five minutes to the T1, so it isn't burned-in yet, but I think this headphone is The One. I've been looking for something in the league of the Senn HD800, AKG K1000, or even the K701 is remarkable and worth considering.

Hello,   I love the style of the Sennheiser HD 800 headphone or the AKG-K1000,  but I am currently a college kid and really only have the max of $150 to spend. If you can give me any suggestions that would be awesome. I understand that I would get headphones with the sound quality of $150 .

I'm referring to at least a design that lacks any foam inside the enclosure that insulates the ear from the external air. Some examples:   Sony MDR-F1 Sony MDR-MA900 (partially) Aiwa HP-AK100 AKG K1000 (lawl)   Are there any others to speak of?

List some headphones that can be considered ugly/strange/funny looking but actually have a very good sound

Hi folks, Dumb question may be? Is it possible to run a stax electrostatic headphone on a leben300 xs amplifier? If not, could someone please explain why. The AKG 1000 can apparently be driven to good effect on this amp, although from the speaker terminals Am just begining my head phone...

I haven't really seen this covered before, but does anyone have advice for picking out headphones, based on the amp that you own (I recently purchased an Elekit TU-879s)? What headphones experience the best sound quality improvement while being amped?   I've been considering the q701s, but...

Hello everyone   I've been finding headphones that have unsually large drivers and I noticed that there isn't a thread for them. (Correct me if I'm wrong) So I thought it would be a good idea to make one.   I'll begin by throwing in the Lafayette Model F-990 with 3.5 Inch (88.9mm)...

With the HifiMan, Audeze, Senns., Beyer, Ultrasone, Grado, etc. product lines providing very good sound, are the classics still holding value/performance? The classics are our past reference points. L3000, R-10, K1000, etc. Anybody with a collection of each era care to share your opinions on...

Ended up with the dt 770 pro 80 :) 

Hello!   Its pretty straight forward, what in your opinion is the best headphone for pinpoint accuracy regarding sound stage?   Just curious, I have K701s and find them to be exceptional for gaming, just wondering if there's something significantly better which could enhance my game...

Hi there!   After so much fiddling with audio, its slowly getting better but the trial and error takes so much time!! Really need to find a solution thats not going to be a shot in the dark and waste more money.   I want to run HDMI from my PS3 to my LCD Monitor. BUT, output from the...

Hi there, so I met a guy at school who said his father has a pair of k1000's, I thought he was joking, but it turns out he is not lying. I had asked him for photos and he provided them to me. He asked how much I would offer, and I told him between 300-500$. He said he'd ask his father, and so...

Alright, haven't posted in quite a while.   I'm looking for some input; I'm searching for "the one" - one pair of cans to replace everything.   Basically what I want it to do:   - Be a K701 with more isolation* and bass (changing nothing else) and/or - Be a KH-K1000 with more...

Hey, I am a Student from Loughborough University studying Industrial Design looking to design a pair of headphones that will transform into speakers for on the go. Would you purchase a product like this? I will record the results in my research, but you can withdraw at any stage. 

I did some research on Burson AB160 Buffer then found this thread from the OZ guys.   http://thehornshoppeforum.com/index.php?topic=36.0   They compared Burson with this product   http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=amp&n=153453&highlight=   here is the link of this...

Hi all,   I am new here. Recently I bought a K1000 and want to use a Fiio A1 to drive it. I am not sure will this works. Any advice will be appreciated.   Thank you.   Kun

I have never owned a pair of open cans or electrostatics. I'm itching a little to get into a pair. I will use my Cary 300 SEI as power. Yup, I've never heard the HP-1's or 2's or K1000's or Stax or Senn 650's. Which open cans are rich and liquid sounding?

This is an extension of opinions I recently posted in the high-end forum. I felt it was interesting to share my views on the HD800 in the general forum, where everyone hangs out. I just sold my HD800's to a friend, after having them for almost a month. At the beginning, I remember being very...

Hey guys, pick your choice from the selections or post if I did not include your option. Remember, this is the one headphone you will have to live with for the rest of your life.

  It's been almost 3 years since last time I used most of my cans. So after unboxing I listened to them for at least 8 hours at day in continuous back and forth with all kind of music during two weeks. I thought I should share some impressions as I always loved posts from people talking about...

I have the BAT VK55 tube amp, which I like and would hate to sell in order to fund a dedicated head amp (such as Woo WA5).  Since both the HE-6 and K1000 can connect directly to an amp's speaker posts, do you think a speaker amp like the VK55 is a good choice?  

~~ Greetings to all fellow members from Madrid. First apologize because I 'm using Google translator and can not be understood well the message . Spain From other forums I have recommended this site for advice. I have a new AKG K1000 , have not been used and would like to ask the experts of this...

I've had my HF-2s for a while now, and they're still my favourite headphone. Smooth top end, amazing bass, mids are alive and fun.   I have K1000s, though I'm not sure I'm keeping them. Funding an amp is proving to be a challenge. However, I'm possibly looking for a set of cans that will...

Hello , can anyone recommend a pair of headphones for Classical music.I own a Graham slee Ultra Linier Headphone Amap .Thanks.
