October 7, 201312 yr You really need to listen to a set of these, the ERGO model 2's. IMHO quite competitive to the HD600/650's I think the HD 650 gets a bad rap. Maybe I'm not thinking widely enough, but other than the HD800 and LCD3 (when working well), I think it's the best headphone out there. 'Course the latest Thunderpants I've hear might have beat it. Got a pair from his group buy coming in for measure nad listen. Maybe I'll sneak in a review, too.
October 25, 201312 yr Hi, I'm a newbie to headphones here, thankfully before being fully corrupted by head-fi, i chanced upon the Cavalli LL thread, proceeded to finish the T2 diy thread even though i know nothing of electronics. Just a quick question, at my place, there isnt really a place to buy or test headphones, so im probably buying blind. Im currently thinking of the momentum or X1 (I'm buying them secondhand and the offer price is similar.). Any advice? I listen to songs mostly, lots of vocals and acoustic. occasional pop music. On of the kind of signature i liked, was the Final Audio Heaven 6 and fitear parterre, courtesy of good friends. have not had the chance to listen to JH.
October 7, 201411 yr Dammit, Tyll. Your X2 review has me intrigued. As a longtime HD600 lover I figured I have to give them a try. I ordered a pair for the office.
October 7, 201411 yr Dammit, Tyll. Your X2 review has me intrigued. As a longtime HD600 lover I figured I have to give them a try. I ordered a pair for the office. The X1 sounded awesome but was too small for my head. Even though Tyll says the new one is bigger I'm still suspicious of one size fits all mechanisms. Just let me adjust it damn it.
October 7, 201411 yr Yeah, it still puts a bit of extra pressure on your head, but no where nears as bad as the X1.
October 7, 201411 yr Author I loaned my L1 to my dad, who has a big head (lotsa brains) and big ears (thanks, Dad). Expecting complaints any day now.
October 21, 201411 yr Philips also have newly released the A5Pro headphone, designed with Armin Van Buuren. 50mm drivers, aluminium frame and linear s.sig
October 23, 201411 yr Sony has the new MDR-Z7. Yeah, and I think it looks interesting but I'm more interested in the portable Oppo PM3 though as it may offer more versatility?

November 1, 201411 yr X2s showed up today. I look forward to trying them out this weekend. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1414804396.153309.jpg Very interested in your impressions. It's always a bit worrisome to review a headphone without a lot of pre-existing feedback in the community.

November 2, 201411 yr Sony has the new MDR-Z7. Yes, they are great... I have them at home now and for sure one of the best closed headphones that I've ever tried.
November 2, 201411 yr Umm...http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/akg-k812-professional-reference-headphone Hi Tyll, if you have to choose between the K812 and the HD800 what model would you choose? I'm just curious about this, thanks Yago.
November 2, 201411 yr Yes, they are great... I have them at home now and for sure one of the best closed headphones that I've ever tried. Want. EDIT: (wanders off to look up price) US$700?!?!?!? Don't want.
November 2, 201411 yr You wouldn't like to spend that kind of cash on headphones just based on Yago's opinions
November 3, 201411 yr Yeah, that's more like it, although I'd hope to audition it first, even at that price. You wouldn't like to spend that kind of cash on headphones just based on Yago's opinions No, I'm a Sony fan -- MDR-V6/-7506; CD3000; MDR-F1; even the MDR-R10 is top tier. Plus, black and closed. I'm hoping it compares to the CD3000. (I suppose I could just paint the CD3000's black or something.)
