Yesterday I subscribed to this forum and today I received my new cans! After years without headphone use I put on my sennheiser HD450II set. I started using my cans more and more and decided I wanted a pair of closed cans. After reading some reviews I ordered the ath-m40. Believe it or not I...

So I now have the HD598 and I want to start exploring a bit into a higher tier headphones like HD600, HD800, HiFiMan-500, DT880, etc   I don't want to spend $500+ on an amp and yet I want something that is not going to be a joke when powering up those headphones. So my question is ... which...

So I am trying to get into relative hifi areas. The closest thing I've ever owned was Sony MDR V6's but I want to step up. After doing some research I've heard good things about the Q701 and Sennheiser hd600 and wanted some opinions.   Regards, NimbleMonkey

A lot of Sennheiser aficionados have been waiting for Sennheiser's own balanced cables for their flagship HD headphones since they were first shown.   The Sennheiser CH 650 S (for the Sennheiser HD 600/650), CH 700 S (for the Sennheiser HD 700), and the CH 800 S (for the Sennheiser HD 800)...

Hi guys,   So I now have the HD598 and I want to start exploring a bit into a higher tier headphones like HD600, HD800, HiFiMan-500, DT880, etc   I don't want to spend $500+ on an amp and yet I want something that is not going to be a joke when powering up those headphones. So my question is...

I've kept my original pads on my HD580s as they are still usable, however I've wanted to replace them with new pads but got turned off by the price of new pads which is around $80. On Ebay there's a seller from China offering replacement for less than half that price (~$30). Anyone ever try them...

Hi.   Ive got a pair of Sennheiser RS180. I just bought a Dacmagic plus, and they suddenly got twice as good. But I want more now! Barely listen to my Dynaudios anymore. Could you explain the differences between the phones under $500? The ones ranked the highest seems to be the...

Admit it! You wear gigantic, probably-not-best-suited for public, or open headphones in public. You probably shouldn't, and you get lots of funny looks, but you do. Sound trumps fashion, of course! I can't be the only one wearing rediculously large headphones around. I know there are...

Could you please define the "veil"??? I have been reading a lot here n the forums and the term keeps appearing and I dont know what it means. I have a pair of HD555s that I simply love. I like them so much that I keep asking myself how would be a pair of HD595 or even the HD600. I want...

Hello everyone   Looking for a closed and more refined HD600 sound. I am after PRAT, Timbre and Imaging and do a lot of low volume listening. Will use a chord hugo as amp/dac. What are the differences between the two? Up- or only sidegrade?

I'm using a pair of well broken in Sennheiser HD 600's with Audioengine D1 DAC and Little Dot MKIII tube amp off Mac BookPro solid state with ThunderBolt HDD and Pure Music overlapping iTunes. Most od my music is ripped from CD's at 16-bit/48kHz, some newer music is from HD Tracks in...

Hey guys. I'm in abit of a predicament here and I could really use some advice. Basically, I'm quite fatigued of the sound of my Xonar STX's headphone amp. I have a pair of HD600 and Mad Dogs and they both sound really congested and messy from the STX. Bass is nearly nonexistent on metal/rock...

    Overall Impression   The first time I tried the Coffman Labs H1-A was at the Portland Oregon Head-Fi.org user meetup at Echo Audio. I tried a lot of great equipment that day, but the H1-A was the piece of gear that really caught my attention. Not only is it eye catching, it had a...

Greetings! I would just like to say thanks for taking the time to read this review, as it is very useful in helping everyone understand one should not buy a Carot One Fabriziolo.     In general: To be frank, unfortunately this amp is very resembling to that of the $80 Muse T-20 tube amp...

Well my HR-2 arrived today, and the OP chip is fully burnt in because I bought it used on head-fi from TRose49, a truly wonderful person to buy gear from. So far my listening experience has left me awestruck and that is hard to do. My previous experience with headphone amps are the RSA...

Hi all!   I have recently got a fully assembled Bottlehead Crack w/ Speedball upgrade for my HD600s.  I am quite happy with the sound it delivers but there is very distracting background noise in the right channel.  It doesn't go away even if I unplug my interconnects.  It gets louder when I...

Hi Guys,   Over the last few weeks I've been reading review after review of the Fiio E12 and it seems it's what I'm looking for to replace my E11 with my HD600/ipod while I'm roaming around the house. I have been thinking at times when I want to "rock out" that I would love just a tiny little...

Hi all! So currently, I've got a FiiO e7/e9 combo which I use with my Sennheiser HD600s, but lately I've been feeling like maybe they could use a tiny bit more... Something. That said, I've been looking into a new setup, as I rather enjoy my headphones and don't want to change them. Plus, if I...
