I own a pair of Senn HD595 which are decent (i think the source is worse since i'm not using any dedicated amp). I moved to a noisier office and I need more isolation. On top of this, the bass is utterly lacking. Even a cheap logitech gameset is better in the bass IMO. Isolation doesnt need...

Sorry I’ll have to do this at breakneck speed. Hope it’s not useless to those of you who are flirting with these phones but can’t have both. I’ve been casually listening to the D7000 since I received it from HeadRoom (from their first batch) in late October. (That’s an audiophile’s...

Finally after a 2 week interval, Mr JVC or at least EMS has come to pay me a visit and deliver my eagerly awaited Super phones. I present to you the JVC DX1000 earphones. Sorry no camera although I will see what I can do. Haven't tried them as yet although a quick look inside the box and...

---------------------------11/09 UPDATE------------------------- Please note: I no longer recommend stuffing of the ear cups with Fiberloft and have not for some time (stuffing pads is still strongly recommended). If you are intent on trying it, please be prepared to remove it when you...

While i love the sound of my RS1's i still can't get over the comfort and them falling off my head etc at home be that 'headbanging' or simply getting up too fast. What i'm looking for is the ESW10 of closed circumaural headphones... Unfortunately haven't exactly got 'normal shaped' ears...

Seems like people always judge closed phones as being good despite their handicap instead of equal to open phones in the same price range. Does the soundstage suffer that much?

JVC HA-DX1000 review Setup: Source: Marantz SA7001 SACD player. Amplifier: Ray Samuels Audio XP-7 with power supply and AD797 opamps. Headphones for comparison: Sennheiser HD600 and Ultrasone HFI-780 with Beyer DT250 velour pads. Music used: The Allman Brother Band - At Filmore...

So I just spoke to someone called Richard at JVC in the UK to find out if the JVC HA-FX1000 is in fact, the re-branded JVC Victor HP-FX500, and he confirmed without a doubt that it is. He said the FX1000 is exactly the same model, but was renamed specifically for the official UK release. So...

Hi folks, I'm currently considering a few pairs of headphones which, if my fellow Head-Fiers would be so kind, I would be humbled and grateful if you would rate on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 5 highest) the criteria listed below pertaining to each. The headphones themselves are as follows- A...

Not every headphone comes with storage case. D5000 and DX1000 were my previous examples. This is what I found. The packaging it came in seemed suspect. And the only things showing it's from ATH is the packing tape and logo on the case. I don't even know the model name. But quality seems...

Hi, I'm one of those guys who bought this headphone back around '01-'02, and never really strayed from it. I know it's old and hard to get or maintain these days, but I still love the sound. I recently experimented with modding it by simply applying duck tape to the the inside of the ear...

I can't get my mind off the Denon D5000 because I keep thinking that it could be better than my Ultrasone PRO 900. I definitely like the PRO 900 and it has really great bass, but it's just not "floating my boat" compared to all my other headphones (and it's also the most expensive one I own!). I...

Hi all guys!!! Can you guys please tell me which one is better? Can you guys please help me to take a review about these two headphone?                

I am really liking my D7000 for private listening.  What else is as GREAT or better out there?  It seems like most "top of the line" models from makers are Open back design.

In comparison to the pair of my Denon D5000s in which the screw has broken and I couldn't afford a repair and I had got to sell, another screw in another place of D2000s I have had got only yesterday, just have broken. I'm totally frustrated with the quality of Denon headphones and even with...

Anyone balanced the JVC DX1000?Did it has some develpment?(sorry,my english is so poor = =

I'm very interested in the absolutely most non-fatiguing high end headphone. Stax, dynamic, orthos?   Thanks

please recommend

I bought a pair of M-Audio Q40 a couple years ago and they were my first pair of full-sized cans. I love these phones and have listened to them almost daily ever since I got them. I love their sound and the bass paired with my Graham Slee Voyager is heavenly. The bass can be felt and slams...

A few months ago I came across a mention of this new Kenwood flagship on a Japanese site. It was acompanied by some frequency graphs that were very promising (at least I could read that...). Since then there has been some mention on this site, but not much. It stuck in my mind though, for some...

General info and First impression:   First I want to thank Fiio company for sending me a Fiio E9 for this review.   As you know, Fiio is known for its portable amps E3/E5/E7 and their cost effectiveness. Fiio E9 is Fiio's first desktop headphone amplifier. I think Fiio E9 will fill the...

According to MarkL in his sale thread in the FS forums, the JVC DX1K may be being discontinued. He doesn't actually mention any sources specifically, does anyone have any info on this? I didn't think that they've been around very long yet. Although I guess maybe they aren't selling many.

Has anyone purchased these protective covers from here: http://www.scansound.com/Stretchable-Headphone-Covers.htm and used them to cover the  massive earpads on the JVC DX1000 phones?   They look like what I need although a little concerned about them fitting properly.

I just got back to my hotel room after spending a couple hours at my own personal meet at our own Mr. Hughes' home.  Rob is quite the host.   We started with the big stuff, listen to his full audio set, including his (sigh) B&W speakers.  Of course, the source was his VPI.   Then we...
