Hello Head-Fi headphone forum!   I wish to ask, I had and own many many headphones, amp's- portable and not. in-ear over the ear and more. currently i'm using the Shure se425 for in-ear and senn hd229 with Fiio e11 very happy with it. own also senn px 100ii and had the hd 800 with the lehman...

I'm looking for a second set of headsets to complement my HE-400s, driven by a Fostex HP-A7, and am trying to decide between the new Audio-Technica AD2000X and the Shure 1840.  Mostly I listen to classical and jazz, but also a fair amount of vocals, male and female.  Am looking for versatility...

So i have been a Beyer users for quiet some time now, using almost all of the Recent DT series with a mix of amps. but i have been looking for a new sound lately. I like the sound of the Beyerdynamics as they work great with a host of sounds, but i'm starting to get annoyed with Neutral tonal...

I can get a brand new pair for 630 shipped.   Should I?

In the top headphone market another product the  Americans should be proud of is the Shure SRH-1840.     Having owned several high end offerings (T1, HD800, LCD2) the phone I enjoy the most is the Shure. I find that listening through these I am singing along or tapping my toes, etc.   They...

The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

Hello Head-Fi community. I am planning upgrade my current headphones (Sennheiser HD595/no amp), and I am looking to spend no more than $700 (headphones alone). I really enjoy the signature sound of my 595, and I would like to buy something that sounds similar but better of course. I like the...

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...

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

Hello everyone, I am new to the head-fi community and relatively new to the audiophile world. about 6 months ago or so after a friends suggestion i invested in a pair of sr325is. I recently bought a schiit modi dac connected to my denon receiver and it sounds pretty good. Only thing is, the...

Hey, so I've basically narrowed it down to these two headphones, they both look fantastic. Neither FR graph indicates either of the two is "laid-back", which is more what I'm looking for. I listen to mostly EDM in my spare time, and will probably end up recording with these as well, in the...

I'm out of place in the sound science section and in need of your help, please.    The sensitivity of the SRH1840 is 96dB/mW and the impedance is rated at 65 ohms. Is my Ipod Classic 7th Generation powerful enough to give the SRH1840 what it needs to function as designed or should I buy an...

I hear all kinds of music from classic to heavy metal to trance and the list goes on I had heard great things on both of them and told that they are close to etch other in sound signature, So what will be the best choice?

Dear guys,   I know Shure SRH-1840 is about 100$ more expensive compare to Bowers & Wilkins P7 but which one do u think should I choose? (the difference 100$ does not matter to me). I like headphones with an impact and well controlled bass and good sound stage. The songs I mainly listen to are...

Good day all, Lately I was blessed by using my friends Hifiman HE400 on my sound blaster ZXR and I loved most of the experience. The sound is crisp, pronounced and rich ( sorry I am no Audiophile and do not know the terminology) except for the bass as it is a little flat for my taste. Also...

A while ago I was looking into replacing the not-too-comfortable SRH440 ear pads with something more appropriate, like the 840's or the 940's velour pads, which I read good opinions about. Figuring bigger is better, I tried searching the forum (and Google) for how the 1440 or 1840's pads would...

Can someone compare these headphones?   There doesn't seem to be much on the Shure's in general on this forum, apart from one big mega-thread, and I couldn't find much comparing it to the K702 there.   What are the differences in sonic presentation between these headphones? They both...

Really interested in the SRH1840... Being a Canadian, it's hard finding a lot of info about these and I was wondering if anyone had the SRH1840. Also would be interested in some Senn HD700 info too! I know both models are very rare and non-existent. I just want general impressions and details...

Hi Guys please i need some advice ,    my current set up is a zero dac - Shure srh-1840  ,    it sounds very nice but there seems to be...conflict in the sound ?    and i have always been eyeing tube amps since i have tried the bravo audio ocean hahah      would pair the the...

Can someone do a comparison between the two and how they complement each other. Thankyou :)

Hi all,   Just joined this forum to ask this:)   I've just ordered Shure SRH-1840 and I want to do them justice by getting a descent headamp as well.   The first question probably should be, do you need to buy a dedicated headamp for these 65 Ohms headphones?   If the answer is...

Are the SRH1440 and SRH1840 known to be in a bit of a HD600/HD650 or DT880/DT990 situation - where the more expensive of the two is not neccesarily better, but just different? Or is the SRH1840 just plain better than the SRH140 in every aspect?   I have been doing some reading and found, for...

I've been listening to my Sennheiser HD 650's and Hifiman he-400's for a while now. But I really want to know if the He-500's are worth the price tag/upgrade. I plan on using this on my Hisound Studio 3rd anniversary. Are the He-500's hard to drive? Do they require more power than my He-400. and...

Hey I got a $2000 budget and am about to order the sennheiser hd800 with the byerdynamic A1 amp. Are there better options

Originally I've come to seek guidance on my first pair of entry level audiophile headphones. I've yet to make a purchase, but with the budget I've set for myself I've decided I was going to buy the Shure Srh 840's with a portable amplifier, and then later on purchase something with a bit more...
