let's have a thread for weird looking cans.   Stanton DJ pro 300 would be the first thing that comes to mind for me, i mean... one cup?!     Next would have to be AKG K1000 First time i saw these i wondered if they were real, apparently so. They're pretty much just speakers with a...

Probably there arent none, but i heard Grados are fairly good, while some sennheisers are slow... Anything that can sort of match Electrostatic drivers speed?

Should be a funny read......... How would you rank your obsession with headphones? 1 - I don't listen to headphones. I come on to head-fi to laugh at people obsessed with headphones. 2 - If I never spent another minute with headphones it would not be noticed, I really don't care so...

I've been searching for integrated speaker amplifiers/integrated amps that doubles as a great headphone amp, and now I am the proud owner of two such pieces. There are other threads that have tried the same thing, but not all threads are easily found on this site - and I've tried to formulate...

I realize that only I can really figure out if it is worth it for me to get my broken drivers in my K1000's replaced, but I thought I'd ask to see what people think.   I have a pair of K1000's that have two blown drivers.  I have been broken for a few years, and sat in the box all that time...

Hello, I just got a new set of Q701's and am looking for a decent dac/amp combo that isnt a ton of cash. I currently use the UDAC2 for my pc and it just does'nt give enough juice to the Q701's (duh).... and the two dac/amp combo's that i keep seeing pop up are the D1 and the HDP for my price...

Hello! I saw this commercial many times, and i always wondered what headphones were used in it... Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSUdD4_mDUw&feature=related i can see some ATHs (or are they?) at 0:27, some red akg-like phones at 0:39, and after that some weird rectangular...

I guess I'll be the one to start this thread on the SPL Phonitor model 2730. (Including Auditor model 2910.) From discussions on this amp, I think quite a few of us own or are planning to own it. Please share your serial number, your setup, what you're learning about it, questions & answers, and...

Sometimes when headphone companies add a variation to their pre-existing model they don't always change the model name.  Most recently, the Audeze LCD-2 (one of my favorite headphones) which has a few variations in cosmetics and most recently in sound signature.   How do you feel about this...

What I mean by "critically revealing" is, which of the headphones that you own are the most revealing in terms of allowing you to hear differences in upstream gear?  For example, with which of your headphones can you hear differences between DACs most clearly?  Amps?   While you may not be...

So what's the word on these cans? I've only read, like, two or three posts on these cans on this site. One comment about them were not good, but the other person compared these to the K501's and preferred the DT48's midrange over that of the AKG's. The only caveat is that this listener...

As the heading implies.   http://www.sac-gmbh.de/sac/start_frame.php?Pfad=2_4_79&BL=4    

i drive my k1000 with a sig30 from redwine audio...i'm presently looking to get a dedicated balanced headphone amp and have been interested in the beta22 and justin's gs-x. while these will be used to drive other headphones, i'm also wondering how they fare with the k1000. yes, i know that the...

I know there's about 6458493144 D7000 threads floating around right now, but we really need a gathered forum for worship of this marvelous can. A thread to snuggle up against when the impression threads have subsided. Also, this reporter feels someone graphic savvy should do a good deed...

So, not to discredit everything I say here, but my friend made this image for me thinking it was rather funny.  I as well think it is rather funny.  Anyway, post any audiophile troll images you find to here.  Please, no stock AKG K1000s...  

  Hello:   I am a classical music lover who is planning on purchasing headphones soon. My current system is “vintage” but good quality (McIntosh, Nakamichi, Klipschorns, etc.). I haven’t got much experience with headphones but I've learned a lot from this great site. I am heavily leaning...

Just yesterday, I spend over 2 hours with PS1000 and HD800 as comparison partner.  My dealer did order the demo model, which was totally beat up by the way, but may burned enough as well, so, the alu look didn’t show me the best, but do they show me the sound?   In one word, YES.  ...

Hey guys, I've been Jamming to my M-50's for the last few months and I absolutely love the sound and feel of these things. Right now I'm listening to some Jazz and Orchestra music and I was just wondering if there were headphones on the market with a soundstage that would make the instruments...

Are there any? Sorry if this is a noob question.

Saw these for sale just thought I'd mention it in case anyone here is interested.   http://www.myaudiolisting.com/classified.php?clasid=MTA1MzU=   I never heard of the site, seems an off-the-beaten-Internet-path site to me, but maybe it's actually very popular and I'm just ignorant, I...

Just got the F1 in the mail today. I like it a whole lot and I think it does rock better than the grados I have. They seem to be a very versatile headphone which can really do any genre pretty well. The bass quantity is almost on par with my K601s, yet have more bass than the K501s...

Anyone else unhappy with these? Compared to my ER4-S, amped with a good source, its like someone chopped off all the upper range clarity on these..they are incredibly warm and full bodied, but it just sounds, well, rather not good to my ears!(thats with all the different tips, deep in ears, more...

  Below is my review of the Virtue Audio Sensation M451 as a possible amplification source for difficult-to-drive BALANCED headphones.  This review is only the headphone part of a comprehensive 2-part review that is scheduled for later publication.  The speaker portion of the review was done...

Last night I had a dream featuring headphones.   I came upon a dimly lit library with many shelves. Rather than having books on the shelves, various headphones were present. From left to right they seemed to increase in quality. On the left there were headphones such as Koss PortaPros and...

Hi, I think my Audeze LCD-2's are beautiful- both aesthetically & sonically. I think these are something that I would be proud to hand down to my kids in 20 years and something I think will be a true classic. Does anyone else agree & what are some other current models of cans that are destined...
