As I am in the process of selling up my High End Hi Fi amps and speakers due to a move to a smaller dwelling where I cant house the system I used to have, I am going full out Head Phone system. Firstly I have my Amp, which is built for me by John Wood here in the UK , it is valve, has all the...

A month ago, I bought the dacmagic xs. It's my first dedicated dac/amp. I pair it up with the ath-m50s, not the best combination I feel. Anyway, I have thought of buying a high-end headphones, something I dont need to upgrade from for the next few years, and I have thought of the beyerdynamic...

So im the proud owner of a Woo Audio WA2 and Beyer T1,and Sennheiser 600s. I consider both of these cans to be neutral and although I never listen to my 600s(more for my g/f)I do enjoy the T1s quite a bit. I want to add a 3rd set of cans with a "little" more bass,not basshead bass,but...

I've read basically every piece of information I can find about pairings for the Beyerdynamic T1, but most of the threads I've seen seem to be pretty out of date. And there also seems to be a significant gap between setups... recommendations tend to start at ~500-600 for a DAC and AMP, and then...

Just wanted to get a idea of whether it's worth spending the money on a high end headphone just for gaming and watching movies? I'm not too concerned with music playback as I have other headphones for that.    So, main concern is sound stage and reasonable bass if possible. How many of you...

Everyplace I check online does not provide this information. I've searched so many times, and I can't find it anywhere. Anyone got any ideas?

There has to be a reason for why all headphones seem to max out at 50mm drivers. 

I personally listen to Alternative rock, rock, and pop.I have the Akg Q701s. Any help is welcome! You can also list some headphones I might want to look into. What im looking into is something with more bass then the Akg Q701s and will sound good with a variety of genres.

The Sennheiser HD800, Grado PS1000e, Beyerdynamic T1, and Hifiman HE560 all play up to 50 khz. Why design headphones to reproduce frequency ranges beyond 20khz if there is nothing there?  

As a starter on head-fi journey I'd like to try to share a little of my experience of these two, which are both highly appreciated headphones here. I have studied playing piano since the age of 6, but has gone relatively rusty since college, and have been to many live concerts (mainly classical)...

Click individual images for larger 1200x800 image INTRODUCTION Anyone who has followed my comparisons this year will have noted how lucky I’ve been to have access to quite a few headphones – both owned by myself, and loaned by another wonderful NZ Head-Fier (62ohm) – who I’m incredibly...

beyerdynamic T1 90th Anniversary Version     It surprised and still surprises me when I found little discussion on beyerdynamic T1 90th Anniversary (T1B) on head-fi. This is a limited (to 600 units) edition with a hardwired 4-pin balanced Cardas cable. So taking this opportunity I would make...

If the source is good enogh, Which one would give the best outcome for listening to classical music? Besides Sennheiser, I am also considering beyerdynamic T1 or T90. So a similar question would be "T1+$700 amp? Or T90+$1300 amp?"

Hi,   I have actually the Meridian Prime Headphone Amp with Prime Power Supply which drives Beyerdynamic T90, this headphone is a excellent partner with prime. But I'd like to know yours experiences with other headphones, because i think that the prime probably deserves better :)   Thanks! 

Hello guys,   I was hoping one of the gurus here could help me with my dilemma: I currently have a pair of HD800s and an Asus Essense One Muses Edition that I have hooked up via SPDIF to my computer that I listen to music on. Lately I've been PC gaming in FPS titles like Titanfall that...

Hello,   While this may be my first post, I assure you I am not new to the world of headphones or this forum.  I started to really get into this hobby around 2000, but had some interest in the late '90's.  At the time Headwize was the authoritative forum.  Then Head-fi appeared and grew.  It...

When it comes to computers, I have a theory that there will always be advantages between first party hardware & software. So for example, using an Apple computer, I prefer to use Safari as my browser as I feel Apple, having built both the computer and the OS, will know best how to optimize their...

Hej I have a pair of Beyer Dynamic T1 (and my old Sennheiser HD600)  which I use with a Musical Fidelity M1 HPA.  Sometimes I feel I miss a little “rock’n’roll”, so I’m looking for a headphone with a little more bass, warmth and “rock’n’roll”. Any suggestions that don’t makes me a bank robber?

Evening peeps,   I am in the process of picking up a very cheap ($700) and new, pair of Beyer T1's. Considering the retail price of it in other places, I had to jump on this deal.   I've done a little bit of homework regarding the T1, and everywhere I see they mention that the headphones are...

I think the above equation "sums" up my question.   Regarding budget, I'm assuming improvements on the HD600 will require entering Summit Fi territory. The LCD3/HD800 are the most expensive headphones I'd consider buying.   Depending on which headphone comes closest to the sound signature I...

I'm looking to get an amp/DAC for a pair of T1s I recently bought. I don't want to be spending extremely large amounts of money. I'm looking into the following (I've included the prices I can get them for in the UK):   Amps:   - O2 Epiphany Acoustcs (£77) - FiiO E9 (£100) - Matrix M Stage...

Hello everyone! I have decided to buy the Beyerdynamic T1 headphones and would like some recommendations for an amplifier that will drive them well. Just for some background information, I will always maintain these headphones plugged to my computer, which has an ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound...

Hello,   I am looking for an amp that matches well with a Beyerdynamic T1 and  especially vinyl records. I am mainly (95%) listening to vinyl records, while the majority of my records are in great to excellent shape, I have some which have typical pops and clicks as some are over half a...

Just curious. I've always used it whether it's on my stereo system, home theater system, or headphone system.   What's with the hate/dislike of equalization in general. 

Hi folks, it's been a while since I've been here. I had been a happy owner of Grado sr325is for a few years. Yes, it's a great set of headphones. It'll give what most of user will seek, great details, dynamics, stunning vocals and mid-range and even some bass, you just can't get fatigued with...
