I want to write a review, who writes good reviews and where can I find a good example of a thorough template to follow?

Hey guys, I need a bit of advice on the title of this thread. I just purchased the ATH-A900x from Audio Technica, and I have the Creative ZxR sound card installed on my PC. I use the headphone out for the headphones, but I would be very interested in (possibly) getting more sound quality if...

Hey guys, thank you for looking at my thread. I searched around for similar questions but had no luck finding any answers for my specific set of cans with my specific sound card, so here is the question: (quite simple, really)   Will setting the ZxR settings to the 600Ohm setting damage these...

Generally have never liked IEMs cause they slide out of my greasy italian ears! :) But I want something low profile to enjoy. Currently my portable can are JVC HA-s500's modded to the hilt but I want something even lower profile. My preferences are Transparency, Neutrality, Soundstage, (I loved...

Totally new to iem and man is it a minefield! I currently have a pair of q701 which I use for home listening, but circumstances have changed and my turntable is now in the same room as the tv and with the AKGs on I can't cut out the tv noise! So I'm looking for done IEMs for about £100 that I...

Hi. This is my first post on this forum.   I am looking for a new iem or portable headphone for daily commute and listening in the library. I listen to a wide genre of music: top 100, vocal, blues, jazz, classical, rap you name it.   Currently, I have a pair of Hifiman Re262. They are very...

Ok, I'm new here so please bear with me.  I know a lot about computers and I'm pretty knowledgeable on home theatre equipment but I'm totally new to the ins and outs of high quality audio.  I currently own a pair of Tritton AX Pros that I use for Xbox and PC, but mostly PC.  My AX Pros just plug...

Hi there,   Im looking for a new pair of headphones. I mostly listen to alternative rock, metal, and more like that. My budget is around E200.   At the moment I have Shure SHR240A, but I noticed they give me a headache after around an hour or so. I don't exactly know why. It feels like...

Hi   I realise there's probably quite a few threads around talking about this, but I still seem to be undecided what I should go for I think mainly because a lot of the suggestions were not based on experience (i.e people who had actually owned the 701s and the DAC/AMP they were...

Apparently people dislike the beats by dr dre's because of race. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF0hbXfLPxQ

Hey all,   As of right now I am using HD555s with the foam mod and just my motherboard's integrated sound. I bought the Titanium HD the other day (when it was $110 on amazon) and have been playing around with it today. Performed several blind tests with various quality songs (from 120kbps to...

Just got my AKG Q701's today (black) I am currently using them off my ipod 5th gen until my Schiit Magni comes (Thursday)   If this is what I have to look forward too, Woohoo. Although I have read a lot about burning in (yes it makes a difference, no it doesn't)  i will be running some pink...

Forgive me please as im new here but would greatly appreciate any feedback that is constructive Id like some help if anyone is willing to provide some insight- anyways sort of working on a budget here but lets assume anything totalling less than $700 is fine for entire package. The use will...

Hi everyone,   Yes, it's another "what should I buy" thread, and yes, I know there's a fixed topic for that, but the fact is it's a mess. It’s very hard to get more than one or two advices before the next poster asks for something completely different. That being said, please move/merge it...

Hello everybody   I'm trying to decide which model is the perfect headphone for me (I want to buy my first audiophile cans, and I want to make it right ) Genre's classical music, a lot of chamber music, but sinfonic too. I don't mind whether they are open or closed as I'd use them mostly at...

I’ve been the owner of a pair of Shure SRH440’s that I’ve replaces the ear surrounds with the SRH840’s. even after a long break in period as well as the upgraded foam I find these not only uncomfortable after 45min of listening but also fatiguing to listen to after just as long. I’ve tried...

The man in the brown truck handed them to me about 30 minutes ago.     I have them plugged into my Geek Out 720 now and am groovin' to a bit of Digable Planets.  There is definitely a bit of a bass boost over my Q701s and the smooth leather headband is an instant improvement in the comfort...

Have:   Sennheiser HD650, powered by Matrix M-Stage, Musical Fidelity V-DAC, computer as source, all Audioquest interconnects.   Between these two headphones, which should I get?  I'm all ears for suggestions.  Just looking to explore some new sounds.  I used to have a pair of MS-1s but...

I own a pair of ATH-M50s and they're alright I suppose. I'm a bit of a bass junky, but it's always been difficult to find headphones that give a good bass without distortion (which I know is asking for a lot after a while from just headphones). Anyway, I recently went to see the band Crystal...

    Details first, explanation later. Let's go! Bass  HD598: I found the bass quantity increases with stronger amplifiers, regular amplification makes the HD598 sound flat HD598 with regular amping (i.e. JDS Labs ODAC/O2) still have more mid-bass than the Q701's, but not by much. Slower...

Hi everyone.   I was pretty set on getting the Q701's with a E09k but after seeing the price here in Canada for the rs2i's, it doesn't seem a lot more considering it won't need a powerful amp. Which would suit me better? (Sr325i would also be an option)   Initially I thought Grado's were my...

Hey, bit of a lurker here but I need help (yes, I have scrubbed the forums about this already  )   I am interested in purchasing a new set of open eared full sized headphones but am having difficulty deciding what to buy It seems like it comes down to sonic qualities as none of these are...

I have two headphones, some Magnum V4's from Martin Custom Audio (Amboyna burl cups) and a pair of Sennheiser HD598's. Love them both, although I think the high end is better on the Magnums, but I listen to the 598's more because they are super comfy and fun.   The 598's are my first...
