I am looking for a good pair of open back headphones for under 250 (325 and under with amp) - I am going to be listening to EDM and Rap (bass needs to be prominent even though that is hard to find in an open back phone) - If they could be comfortable that would be great... - Under 250, 300...

Greetings All,   It is one of my first threads here, so please be easy on me with the comments :)   Well, this review will be dedicated to a very interesting BT on-ear headphones from Bluedio, the HT H-Turbine. I got the item free for review from www.gearbest.com website. As I yet don't...

Alex has posted a very detailed tutorial for his Sennheiser HD580/600/650 mod. I just modded my very own HD580 according to his tutorial and it took me less than 5 minutes... WOW I heard the difference right away! Everything just sounds better. http://apuresound.com/hdsennmod.html

Does anyone know if the cable for the Sennheiser HD580 will fit the HD480 or HD440II? Thanks!

I am looking for headphones with a $250 budget. I have the E10 amp as well as DT770 250 ohm headphones. I listen mainly to classic rock like the Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Joplin, CCR, Queen, Pink Floyd, etc. When I am studying I listen to symphonies and operas (all sorts). I also do a bit of...

I'm fairly new to head-fi and I normally do not write impressions as I feel not knowledgeable enough to write some but after taking delivery of my Raptor two hours ago, I feel like I have to write this. I AM ABSOLUTELY FLOORED BY THIS AMP!!!!! Coming from a Melos SHA-1 to the Raptor is...

I bought these on sale and really like them. I looked for references to them on this site and found just about nothing. They have a very balanced tone and work well with my Classical, Jazz, Acoustic, and Folk sort of tastes. Super neutral for voice recordings, as I listen to audible enhanced...

Thought I would put forward my impressions after swapping out the plastic grills on the HD580’s for the HD600 metal grills. First I should mention I was/am an AKG user, K501’s-DF240S. I was content on the K501 sound but curiosity got the better of me and so a picked up a new pair of HD580’s a...

Hey Fellow Head-Fi-ers!    Just received the new Porta Pro KTC headphones! As you can see, the KTC comes in totally different packaging than the original Porta Pro. I'm planning on taking more unboxing photos as well as do a review on these phones. I just wanted to take a quick photo or two...

hi i have been away from headphones new a while:p wondering if there is any headphones out there with similar sound to hifiman he500 that it not heavy? i love the sound of it but its to heavy for my head.   And also im wondering if the earcup of hd650, hd600 and hd580 are exactly the same...

To start with... this review is about 20 years too late . The Stax SR-30 are electret earspeakers from 1982. I bought a pair from mecano out of pure curiosity, along with the Stax SRD-4 adapter to power them (together, they're known as the Stax SR-34). Because these occasionally show up for sale...

I currently own the Sennheiser HD 558 and am wondering how they would compare to the HD 580. I also own Beyerdynamic DT 880s (250ohm) so feel free to add those into the comparison. Any replies are appreciated

I've been a big fan of Musical Paradise's MP-302 Class-D Mini Amplifier.  Quality small size headphone amp that I could also use to drive speakers when I didn't want to wear headphones.  I liked it so much that I wanted a second one for the office but now they are discontinued.   Here's what...

So, I got my ODAC+O2 combo the other day, and I was able to test various headphones with it: DT 880, K240, HD 580, and K612. The Senn HD 580s sound best to me with the combo, since the odac+o2 adds a bit more treble detail than other sources I have used.    I want to stay within the price...

Curious, how hard is it to fit HE60 earpads onto the HD650/580/600?   I saw this old FS thread and got to thinking.... thanks!!   http://www.head-fi.org/t/699924/sennheiser-hd-650-with-a-hd-600-frame-and-he60-baby-orpheus-ear-pads-sold    

Hi!   I bought recently my HD580. I wanted them for years, but always they were something that I could live without (expensive stuff).   Now I have them and I want to buy grills from HD600, I live in Canada and I asked sennheiser support for parts. grills are $28.40 for each. Isn't it to...

Just wondered if any of you have any headphone collections and what they were, pictures would be a plus. By collections I mean a group of headphones with a common thread between them.  I only have one small collection and am without a camera, if this thread has any legs I'll post pictures when...

Due to my dwindling funds over the years, I could not afford to fix my headphones and amp which slowly stopped working over time. I eventually threw them all in a cupboard and forgot about them.   I recently pulled them out and want to start enjoying them again. I have found the problems and...

Just got a pair today man they are amazing! Completely blew me away with the lossless sound quality. Blindfolded, I compared it to a wired HD600 unamp'd and I couldn't tell the difference.   The Sennheiser IS850 has an internal DAC/AMP on the headphone itself!! And the run on rechargable AA...

Hello people,   Untill very recently I used to own a pair of Sennheiser HD-580 Precision headphones. But now, after almost a decade of amazing performance, they died (bless them). Too expensive to repair and just plain worn out. So I recently upgraded my gaming pc and simultaneously...

What do all of you think about the Sennheiser HD445 headphones? Does anyone own them? Or has anyone ever heard them? Also, are the cables the same as those on the HD580 and HD600? They kind of look like it. I was just wondering.

I have recently brought back from retirement my old Sennheiser HD 580 phones. Thoroughly enjoying them all over again with all the new music that has been made since I 'retired' them some 5 years ago. A re-occurring issue that I have is the loose connection between the male and female cable...

Sorry if this is old content, I've been away from HF for a few years.  Fast forward to today, are there alternate earpad options for these cans?   Another member mentioned using Shure earpads as replacements.  Has anyone tried this and how do you get them to mount / attach?  Any pics you can...

Just saw this up on Ebay. A metal frame, 2 Tubes and some wires for a mere $70.000.     http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Battery-Tube-Only-Headphones-Amplifier-for-Sennheiser-HD-580-600-650-Beyer-DT880-/331096206110?pt=US_Pro_Audio_Amplifiers&hash=item4d16df2b1e   What do you think? ;)  ...
