I need some thoughts on what headphones take advantage of the headstage arrow 4g's power. I already have some ue 6000 and they're awesome. My budget is right around 200 or leas

So is anyone else wondering why mr.speakers is choosing to maufacture headphones with earpads on them that he made in his basement. This just doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. There are plenty of good pad options out there that fit these headphones that his consumers are already familar...

I am looking for advice concerning a new purchase of some closed back headphones.

Hey Everyone,    I started a similar thread a few days ago as I was contemplating on either getting the AKG 550 or the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros & I was definitely edging towards the Custom One Pros. I've been looking at other BeyerDynamic products such as the DT770/DT880 & they...

Dear Head-Fi Community,   I would really appreciate your help in finding me a pair of cans that are geared towards classical music (pretty much the only genre that I listen to).   I mostly enjoy strings, some trios/quartets, as well as a wide variety of symphonies.   My budget is...

I'm going to mod a pair of Fostex T50RP and I have a few questions. Specifically, what do the mods accomplish in regards to changing things like bass, mid-range, treble, soundstage, etc.   My following questions are:   1. What does applying plasticine/modeling clay around the driver do...

I need replacement earpads for a pair of old headphones I have. They're not T50RPs, they're an old vintage set for which pads no longer exist. If at all possible I want to have to avoid having to make my own earpads for them, and the T50RP's pads seem like they would fit.   Someone who has a...

Dear Head-Fi community: At the crossroads between these headphones I need your help to decide : The Fostex seems to be a good compromise between quality/price and modding capabilities (I am not particularly fond on soldering but I like the idea of playing with simple mods to train my ears)...

I'm in doubt between these two, I will be using these for both music and gaming. I not only want to know how they compare overall, but I also want to see how they compare in certain parts that I will list below:   Bass: I'll be honest, I'm a basshead. I want a hard hitting bass with a lot of...

Just posting this in case somebody is looking for a pair to mod and they cant find a good deal, as people seem to want 100-150 on ebay!!   http://www.fullcompass.com/product/425933.html

I read through the thread here, and couldn't find out whether or not the Shure 840 pads actually clamp in place on the Fostex T50RP's or if you need to do some tear down construction to get them on. Any idea on whether or not the 840 pads clamp in the original earpads place?     Thanks...

Hey guys, I'm looking to mod a pair of fostex t50rp's I bought a few weeks ago. They have a very neutral sound to them (little lacking in the bass) and I am looking to mod them in a way that will bring out the bass. I'm going for a more "fun" pair of cans than an accurate pair. What mods have...

Hi, I was in the market for a pair of portable headphones, and i am getting a pair of Mad Dogs by Mr. Speakers. My only problem with my portable setup now is that i have no way of carrying/transporting the phones safely in a backpack, so i have decided to purchase a hard case.  So far i am...

Long time window shopper, this time I want to buy something for myself. I can extend my budget to Aussie $400 for the MDR-1RBT but not any higher than that. I am going to use a headphone amp I was thinking of getting a Fiio E17. I will mostly use my Galaxy Note II to listen to songs on the...

What are your candidates when it comes to the most forward AND HIGHEST QUALITY vocals/ mids?

I must say I'm completely pleased with the sound signature of the HE-400s. Dare I say... I'm content! But I need a closed-back alternative for when open cans are just a bad idea. I'm leaning towards the Fostex t50rp and following the mod guide (seriously, what better way to spend $100?). But...

In your opinion, what are the closed versions of the HE-400s or even the 300s   Keep in mind the price range. 

Hey guys!   I'm trying to find some portable (or at least semi-portable) headphones. But I have a situation that's kinda tricky for me to find some good cans.   I find in-ear and on-ear headphones extremely uncomfortable, so I need a pair of over-ear headphones. But I need to be able to...

I have a pair of M-50 and want something new, under $400-$200, I like to listen to pop (mostly), rock, alternative, Rap, and bassy music so please give me a list or a pair Thanks
