I wanted to get some opinions on listening to lo-fi recordings, as well as recordings from the 60s and 70s, on headphones of this caliber. The general consensus of the LCD-3s seem to be: transparent, great bass response and impact, elite midrange, good (but not elite) soundstage. This type...

primarily female vocals, but also broadway and some classical. I was heading toward k701 but have begun to see where some folks are not liking them as much after full burning-in process has ended.......soo......consideration is now more to the "old goldies" the k240 DF, and k340........looking...

I probably posted before, I don't know, my head is spinning from all of these different headphones I'm finding.   Problem: I don't know anyone in Madison who sells decent headphones that aren't Bose or Beats so I have to rely on you fantastic people.   "around 300" means I can go a little...

I have an HE-560 and an HD600 with a broken driver. I want to keep my HD600 as a companion to the HE-560, but I can choose to get either a single new HD600 driver ($70.90 each) or two new HD650 drivers ($50.23 each). It would cost about $30 more to get HD650 drivers over the single HD600 driver...

I've read a lot of really good things about the AKG K612 on head-fi and elsewhere, even suggestions that it is well on the way to the SQ of a Sennheiser HD600. I am very pleased with my recently acquired HD598 and find it hard to believe that an HP costing under £100 can be as good - the 612's...

Greetings friends.   I recently responded to a Craigslist ad with these headphones in them. They were listed as HD 580s but as you can see in the photo below they seem to have the blue tag and speckled plastic leading me to believe they are actually HD 600s. I've searched around and can't...

I currently have the sennheiser hd558 running through my jds labs objective DAC and little dot mkiv amp. I would like to get headphones that will use the power of my little dot more to its potential. My preference of sound is pretty flat but I want a boost in bass compared to my 558s. I love my...

Hi guys,   I recently got into the over-ear cans and bought myself a HD600 and HD650 for christmas. Since this was my first foray into higher end headphones, I got myself started with a Fiio E09K and Fiio E17 as a good starting point DAC/Amp. After listening to both of them I decided I liked...

HI   first of all,  I cant try any headphones/amps out before purchasing, so all i can do is trust you guys. I will mainly use the headphone with amp on my laptop for listening to music. I listens to anything but mostly kpop, cpop, jpop, ballad, female vocal music and paino music   i have...

Went to my friend's house and was able to sample quite a bit of his collection, about 10 of these.   But these are the 2 that really came out tops which are powered by a tube amp optimized for 32ohm and he was using the Dragonfly DAC.   Tried the Alessandro MS-1 ( Modded ). Fell in love...

I recently became addicted to high-end headphones.  I tired out the HiFiMan HE-400, the PSB M4U 1 and the Sennheiser HD 600.  I decided to go with the Sennheiser HD 600.  I felt that they gave a bit more all-around detail, were the most neutral and had the tightest bass.  I love them.  Now I'm...

Hey guys, I know there's a million threads regarding this type of advice (I've researched!) But my situation is a little unique.   Anyway, yesterday I went to B&H in Manhattan (A pro-audio/video/photography store). They had a wall with hundreds of headphones to try, I didn't go in with the...

hello all    I wonder if i could get some recommendations.  I am looking for a portable or semi portable amp/dac that will better the CCK output on my iphone 6 and i pad.  I intend to use the amp in bed and around the house with my HD600s- but would eventually like to upgrade to a planer...

What would you guys consider a relaxing headphone? A DT880 relaxing? No? 

I am completely new to quality personal audio equipment and after a bit of searching and impromptu research, I have narrowed my choices. First off, the use will be for personal home audio use in a fairly noise environment while listening to music, movies, and occasional video games without the...

This card specifically:    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132010   I have it and desperately need a new pair of headphones with it. Looking for something that has a good price/performance ratio. I mostly game and listen to electronic music.   Also could...

What are some of the most renown over-ear headphones of all time?

so i've owned a pair of hd600s for about 3 years. i'm looking for something that is not as difficult to drive, i.e. grados @ 32ohm. taking ito account the hardware that i'm currently running, AND the hardware i plan to buy in the future, i think a lower impedance set of cans is in my future...

My setup: Computer/iPod Source (Lossless), Schiit Modi, Schiit Valhalla, Sennheiser HD580.   I love this combo, but I'm in need of some closed-back headphones to prevent sound from leaking out. Some coworkers I work near are getting a little annoyed :)   So, recommendation for a closed back...

Over a year ago I bought the HD650 and after few months I noticed, that the right side was louder. (This is very obvious when I turn the headphones the other way round on my head). The shop replaced the HD650 for me and at first I didn´t notice anything and kept on living... But now I noticed...

This may sound like an oxymoron, but are there any open headphones that are great for EDM? I also listen to rock, classical, ambient (chillout, post-rock), but I would like these headphones to excel at Electronic Dance Music. For example, I would love for these headphones to accurately reproduce...

So recently I've come to a bit of extra money and I'm looking into getting my first set of open back speakers for at home use. I currently have a Fii0 e70k so im hoping that will power what ever I get. So as the tittle says I am looking at headphones under $300 dollars. I am currently using...

And hang em up to dry then put em back on?  I got my HD600s a little over a year ago and it smells and feels dirty because of the oil build up.  People say use wool washer or whatever it's called but I'm scared of using any kind of soap cause it might screw up my ear.

Hello, I'm looking for an entrance into the world of the audiophile and was wondering what would be best for me:   Budget of around £250 ($380). I will mainly be listening to music and playing games, but will occasionally watch films. Genres I like include Rock, Electronic, Classical...
