    Upgrade from Beyer DT990 Pro 250 ohm

    Hi there For over 2 years now I have been happy with my DT990s. I have not been bothered by the clear highs as others have and run them through the headphone amp of an M-DAC with PSU. I don't want to change my headphone amp if I can help it. What would be a good value upgrade to my DT990s? I...

    Looking for advice on a headphone cable carrying microphone signal.

    I am looking to find some bare cable (no attached connectors) to repair my Audio Technica ATH-G1. What I am having trouble with is finding a 4-5 conductor cable that is close to 4mm and has a silicone outer insulation. From my understanding even though the current cable has 6 conductors (5 that...

    DT990 250ohm or 600ohm + DAC

    Hello, I am planning to buy a pair of headphones + DAC (+AMP in one package or separately). I like V type sound signature for music (fast and punchy, not lazy, meaty bass and good highs that don't pierce ears though) and I play CS:GO a lot so good positioning is important. My choice narrowed...

    Headphone with these characteristics under $1,500

    I have the LCD-2 Fazor and the ATH-MSR7 as my only headphones with a Sanskrit Mk. II and a Heresy DAC and amplifier respectively. But, I am going to sell all except the MSR7 because the LCD-2 is way too heavy for long-term use and I also want some mobility with them. I would stay with the MSR7...

    Finding value in headphone measurements

    With @amirm's experiment with the 5128 coming to a close, I thought it might be useful to take a moment to think about what makes headphone measurements useful to us and what we're looking for in them - particularly since Amir will be faced with the cost/benefit analysis of choosing a headphone...

    How to EQ my headphones.

    Hey guys, so for the longest time ever, I was a firm believer that eq destroys music because I always found that whenever I tried to EQ my headphones they sounded really distorted. This was until I got my Sennheiser HD58x, Topping E30, and JDS Atom. With much better equipment, I found eq-ing to...

    Matching headphone impedance against OEM specs

    So I use http:// www. digizoid. com/ power .php to calculate the mW needed to power headphones. My HiFiMan HE400i impedance is 35ohms and my bayerdynamics custom studios are 80ohms. Most manufacturer specs state for 16/32/300 ohms like for example: - My fiio k3 specs on unbalanced output...

    Open vs. closed vs. studio monitors during recording or editing

    This is for voiceover. I was given advice that while recording it's just as well not to use any headphones whilst recording. True? And for editing/processing/mastering studio monitors are best but if without those, use open-back headphones instead. And that semi-open won't do. Do you all agree?
