Headphones

This is a picture of Richard Dorfmeister, one half of the famous Kruder & Dorfmeister, and Tosca. Any idea what cans he's wearing in this picture?

Accidentally stumbled across this. Wonder what they'll sound like? Linky

Hello all! I am an engineer and a big fan of perfect audio, especially on my headphones. Some time ago, I bought the AKG k612 headphones and I love them. Perfect and clean audio, very open scene and the design! Worth every $ I spent on it. However, the one problem I found is that I am concerned about the headbands distortion, when not using it and hanging on headphone hanger. That's why (as an engineer) I started thinking of the solution, how to store my k612 and be calm about headbands. I've made my headphone stand (so I don't need to hang k612) and I want to share it with the world. However I would like to meet the premium look of the k612, it is quite challenging thoug…

Looking for Drive Belt for STAX QUATRO CDP, CD Player. If anyone out there can help me acquire this part I will be in your debt. I don't have a part number. Steer me in the right direction we gladly be appreciated!! DGK425

Why not combine the two? Not particularly useful. sounds about the same as the silicone, but a whole lot more comfortable, and a bit less isolating. That is all.

There was a thread on Headfi which had several folks complaining about the screws securing the earcup assembly to the headband coming loose. Seems some disassembly will be required should the need to address those screws arise. Any recablers out there have pics showing the disassembly process? Shoot, I'm no DIY'er but I couldn't get the stupid pads off. Is there some magic trick to getting those babies off without damaging them??

Are these any good? I figured it'd be good to get at least something approximating the real story on these by asking fellow head-casers. Thanks for any help you can offer in advance

Stereophile: Between the Ears: the art and science of measuring headphones

After some suggestions and requests I decided to listen to the same set of songs, but with the different pads on the MS2i and HF-1s. Right now I'm enjoying the MS2is with flats, but I do like the detail that the bowls provide. Overall the HF-1s are in the middle of the two MS2is with the different pads (bowls and flats). It was fun doing this comparison. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and insights. It is much appreciated. Equipment Denon 2900 - DAC1 - PPX3 SLAM - MS2i Playlist: 1.

Has anyone had a chance to listen to the new lineup to form an impression in comparison to the previous lineup? Just curious to know if they've actually changed how the headphones sound

So my Alessandro's are on majorrrr back order and I won't be getting those for awhile and my ears are curious about the ATH sound. Are there any entry level Audio Technicas that you would recommend to see if I would like their sound or not? Nothing expensive and I'd want to be able to have the ability to return them if I have to. Any suggestions?

Hey all I listen to all types of rock. Mainly listen to stuff like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Mars Volta, Porcpine Tree and 90s alt rock. All in FLAC of course. From my research it appears the Shure SE425 would be a good choice I'm in the £50-150 pound bracket. Willing to go more if its REALLY worth it. Looks like I can score some great deals on ebay. The SE 535 are just ridiculously more expensive here in the UK. Not sure if there is anything else I should consider? Or any anyone tell me what I really need in terms of like mid ranges, treble etc? Thanks for your time and any help.

A friend gave me this cool t-shirt. It's a patent drawing of a Jensen headphone from the late fifties/sixties. A little before my time. Did anybody know the story of these things? We're they an innovation? Did they ever amount to anything?

I'm pretty sure everyone has done this at one time. Hung onto a headphone or piece of gear that You want to like, but don't. Mine is a q701 I bought used 12 years ago real cheap. Cheap because it smelled like an ashtray. Pulled it apart and cleaned it well, and did the bass port mod. I don't like the sound. Put it away and then tried it out again when I changed DACs and amps. I still don't like it. I'm trying real hard to make myself get rid of it. It's hard to be a horder.

Hi everyone, I don't know if there is anyone around here who likes SA5k over the HD650, but if there is, I was wondering if I could get some tips. So basically, I currently own the HD650 and the SA5k. My mom uses the HD650 back at home, and my parents want me to give my SA5k to my cousin as a gift (strange, I know. Don't ask. ). So that leaves me with no headphone at college pretty soon. I've never heard the K701, but I've begun considering it. I personally don't like the HD650's dark signature and the "veil" (ya, I notice it) doesn't work too well with my most of my music. (It works great with classical, but not so great with industrial, rock such as Tool, pop and el…

If you are looking for one here is the link, but he wouldnt ship outside of US, at least to Europe, where I am located Grado RS-1 Headphones, MINT! in box with amp! L@@K! - eBay (item 220376557265 end time Mar-18-09 17:46:54 PDT)

Does anybody else not give a flying fuck that it sounds “artificial?” I’ve had Max for a while (and I adore them), but my shitty Ankers that I used for exercise gave up the ghost (they were good enough until they didn’t work anymore), so I bought a pair of AirPods Pro (my backup “Letscom” weren’t doing it for me). This pair had the non-spatial firmware out of the box. Took a day for it to update (Apple seriously needs to fix the firmware update situation). Spatial on the Pro sounds nothing like “natural.” It sounds fucking great on the Esther Phillips I’m currently listening to, though. I could listen to my JH on the go, but then I have to deal with a cable, and wha…

I love to listen to popular jazz, particular to acoustic guitar (Earl Klugh is the man), and classical music (non rock). I have a pocketamp2 headamp which I like, usually I use it with my Grado SR60. I am considering another headphone, AKG, Senneheiser etc. But my budget is <$101. Can someone suggest a model, and perhaps where to get it. HD515 so far seems likely and will have to watch when they go onsale somewhere. gychang

I never really was into the wireless Dolby headphones thing. However I find myself wanting something like that for late-night TV watching. (and apparently on the rare occasion that I do follow a series, my program choices are 'so gay'.) What's worth buying these days?

Gots these Mylars but never could get some seal on the stock tips so I stretched out some Black shure foams to fit over.. baa boom baa boom is the bass there! fucking earphone does not sound bad at all actually. its really good, like really good. Baa Boom!
