Headphones

Well my new woody SR-200's arrived today (thanks again Juan). So far I'm pleasantly surprised, they have a pretty warm sonic signature and have much more bass than I was expecting. Here's a few pics (note these do not have hp1000 drivers):

I really like the K1000 and Grados. The HD650 is cool too, just looking for a third headphone. Just wondering how the bass and soundstage is compared to the HD580 or HD650 (even K501)? Is there good extension on both ends? Going to use it with the built in amp on the Lavry. addendum: I really disliked the HD590. It was one of the worst expensive headphones I've heard. It was my benchmark for no midrange...the 595 does improve on it a lot right...? And after spending a lot of time with the 580/650, if I were to call any Senn dark it would be the 590.

Anyways, as anyone can see Im new here. *blush* So, Hi? I have about 130 CAD to spend on some semi-decent cans this week. Any suggestions? I've looked at the senn 280, and grado 60. Id like to know in your honorable opinions which one is the nicer choice.

Hi guys! I have a question if anyone can advice and help me out? I'm listening mostly to electronic music, House, Progressive House, Tech House... I have amplifier / dac Gustard A20H, link bellow: I think that Amp Dac is good enough, I dont know, Im not audiophile and expert. I just want to upgrade my setup, especialy headphones. I own headphones Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250ohm. When changed Lambskin thick earpads instead original suede to DT 770, I got better tamed highs and better bass / subbass. I was really enjoying on this setup, but I wanted more. DT 770 costs 130€, and I bought a Denon AH-D7200 headphones with hope that they would so…

These look quite interesting: https://raalrequisite.com/sr1a-earfield-monitors/ Maybe someone needs to take one for the team, possibly me. These interest me only because it seems to be a different presentation, more speaker-like. Of course I would need a nice speaker amp design to build for these, Kevin ?. Thoughts?

I'd like to try my electret with a different box, but I'm not too familiar with electret transformer boxes. (I'd like to hear whether the box is what limits the bass output.) Is this thre-pin connector common?

I want a headphone to use on my exercise bike. The bike is quite noisy, so I need noise isolation. I understand from some browsing that the In Ear Monitors are nice for noise isolation, value, and sound quality. I am looking at the etymotic ER-4P, and the Shure E4c, or something in that price range (about $300 list, $175 online price) I like to listen to a variety of music, including rock, bluegrass, jazz and classical. Thanks for any advice.

hiya fellas. ive had my 595s for a while now and they've had some issues. at one point i lost nearly all sound from them, discovered my ground was disconnected and was able to fix that. the only lingering problem is a rattle coming from within the right driver. ive taken the right cup apart and found no hair in the driver, tried blowing gently on it to try and pop out a potential crease in the diaphram, and no luck. really a bummer at this point, anyone got an idea? edit: it should be noted that the rattle is only present during really low bass notes, and this is all the more reason id like them fixed.. i listen to a lot of Dubstep.

I've owned a lot of different headphones throughout the years, including V-Moda Crossfade LP, Beats Detox, Jays a-Jays Four, Beats Tour, Noontec Zoro HD, Klipsch S4i and so on. I always went by the thought that more expensive is better. And then I bought the MEElectroincs M9P. They have an inline mic, which is nice. Their sound quality is absolutly great, great lows, good mids, great highs. The bass is very accurate, and stays the same even with the volume at maximum. Same thing about the treble. The MEElectroincs M9P looks good ,too. (I get compliments all the time about them) A huge plus about these is that unlike many other in-ear headphones, while wearing thes…

Alright this comparison arose out of complete boredom My Melos SHA-1 has two headphone outs and I keep the KSC75 (screen modded) plugged in at all times to act as a dummy load for the amp when it's turned on, and then plug the HP-2 (flats) in after the tubes have warmed up. Today I forgot to unplug the KSC75 and noticed they were still plugged in after I was about half way through one of the discs. So I decided to do some switching between my HP-2 and the KSC75 Also I'll say I used only one album for this comparison. My friend let me borrow his Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues box set (which is great, albeit very condensed) so I was rocking out to this all after…

I am hoping we will receive HD 800s in the UK very soon. To make sure that priority is given to those people who have placed pre-orders with dealers please will you let me have the following information if you have already placed a pre-order Your Name The dealer you placed the order with (name and town) The date you placed the order Quantity (if you ordered more than one) You can either send me a PM or e-mail me (jwillett) at Sennheiser UK (sennheiser.co.uk). Hopefully we should have enough headphones to cover all pre-orders, but want to make sure that the pre-orders are fulfilled before the general stock headphones go out. Thanks.…

I have a beyond super modded HD580 headphone cable and decided to share SOME of the mods on my site for free. I know some of these are already provided online on places such as head-fi, but I know for a fact the last part is not on head-fi or anywhere else. If I had missed something or made a mistake somewhere feel free to let me know. http://apuresound.com/hdsennmod.html Enjoy! -Alex-

As many of you know i have been searching high and low for the world's best headphones. I have finally found them.

See this: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-980242-0000-Labtec-Go-420-Headphones/dp/B00064GF5O/ref=sr_1_2/102-6039101-4207359?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1179455075&sr=8-2]Amazon.com: Labtec Go-420 Headphones: Electronics[/ame]

They are sold out (for how long, who knows), but I wonder how this affects sound: Comfort Rings (Make Grado's more Comfy!) (1 pair)-LIMITED SUPPLY [CanRings] - $15.99 : Listening Station!, Specializing in Quality Headphones

Hey everybody! I'm a noob when it comes to selecting a headphone, and I'm looking for a "wireless noise cancelling headphones with microphone". Could anybody recommend a model to me that is wireless, noise cancelling, over the ear with microphone headset that can work with PC and mobile? The lower the price the better, and I don't care about brand. Thank you!

http://www.geocities.jp/mister_terch/zakki05aging124.html Like the guy who did these tests, I have no clue what to make of this. Kind of neat looking at all the waves though. The KH-K1000 is a Kenwood headphone, by the way.

I've started noticing a certain amount of discolouration and and 'ragging' at the edges of the "pads". (as 010 owners know, "pad" is a bit of a misnomer) What would you recommend for nourishing the 010 leather? NO ARMOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (oh yeah, perhaps no need to say that... Sovkiller's gone )

Hi This is my first post, I would appreciate opinions on why I have this issue. The link below is the Stax energizer using Lundahl PP TX that I built with a pro-bias circuit. The only change was I didn't use the Lundahl power transformer or the oil caps, I used a magnetically shielded toroid TX mounted on top of the cabinet and poly caps, I also installed the 4m700k resistor after the last cap. The bias volts are 575 d/c, here is the issue, when using my new 500 MK 11 headphones there is a plopping sound that starts in the left channel and then in the R channel, think of a dripping faucet in a cup of water, the L channel is about 60 cycles per minute and th…

what a pair of bitchin' hot headphones, anyone tried them before?

http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/auc.pl?accstwek&1209431625 Pretty cool looking box they had made for these. Would have been a nice touch if John had done the same for the PS-1's.

I was wondering if I should return the %$#@! sound true on ear headphones and purchase the %$#@! instead ? Edited to remove brand names -- Dusty
