I've had the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro headphones for about six months (paired with Monoprice Liquidspark Amp+DAC and Dekoni Elite Velour pads) and I'm not too happy. They are quite uncomfortable on my ears (it seems they are touching my ears no matter how I adjust them) and the treble on...

I'm having a headphone mid-life crisis. I'm being too indecisive in choosing my end game pair of cans. My toss up is between the HD 800 S, MDR-Z1R, or the TH-900. And sadly I don't have a bottomless wallet and can only get one. On subjective grounds, could I please have some...

I presently possess Sennheiser HD-600 headphones which demand something to drive it. I was going to start with baseline modules like the Schiit Modi 2 Uber and Magni 2 Uber stack but a friend corrupted my ears. Now my 7.1 Bose speakers sound like complete garbage. But I’m here looking purely to...

This thread is dedicated to discussion impressions of the new Sennheiser HD800 S.  There was a thread called Sennheiser HD800 S Unveiled! which contains some early impressions. http://www.head-fi.org/forum/newestpost/785577   But the purpose of that thread, to share anticipatory speculations...
