Hey all,   I'm a bedroom artist looking for a pair of neutral tracking headphones in the $200-300 range, but I'm willing to go for a more expensive headphone if it's worth it. I'm not looking for a mixing headphone, since for mixing and mastering, I recently bought a pair of HD 600's and a...

Hey all,   Unfortunately, my headphone needs have shifted and I'm moving out from my single dorm into one with a roommate, so I'm selling off my HD 598's.  With the money from selling the HD 598's and some spare cash, I should have enough to get a good pair of closed headphones for about $200...

Hello to all those who cared to read the title and read the post anyway (kudos to you),   I have taken the care to form this thread to clear an opening in which you (fellow Head-Fier/ lurker) and I can chat about music. For those of you who are somewhat amused (highly unlikely), slightly...

To piggyback on the thread of the best female vocals, here is the best male vocals thread. I've searched for a similar thread but only one or two popped up and the threads weren't as popular and died out which I find surprising. I like female vocals as much as the next person but male vocals...

I, myself can hear up to just shy of 16,000 Hz (approximately 15,875 Hz) and I'm 21 so that seems right. When posting, remember to put down your age and the frequency. That's all.   EDIT: Took another test, made a mistake. I can apparently hear up to around 17,000 Hz upon further listening...

Hey all,   So I've been using the HD 598 for some months and I've been enjoying my music more than ever recently. I particularly like its realistic mids (absolutely love how it presents vocals), sparkly treble (though it can be a bit much once in a while) and of course, its massive soundstage...

As of now, I have the Sennheiser HD 598 with no amp, no DAC, no recabling, etc... I've had these for the past few months and I've been enjoying my music more than ever but something worries me... the upgrade bug.   Granted, I don't have the money to upgrade now but I will get a job this...

Dynamic drivers are the main drivers in the headphone market but over the course of the past few years, orthodynamic drivers have gained in popularity, reviving a once rarely used technology. (for companies such as HifiMAN and Audeze, they mainly use orthodynamic drivers rather than the industry...

I've had the HD 598's for a few months and I must say I'm pretty pleased with them- they seem to have everything I want. However, (even though I don't have the money, I don't even have an amp or DAC yet) I'm still interested in an upgrade later on.   But I'm worried about the "law of...

Hey guys, I realize that I've done made a similar thread to this but this time, I've narrowed my amp/DAC choices to only two. Should I get the Audioengine D1 or the O2 amp with the Schiit Modi? I would prefer an amp that can scale to something higher, such as the Sennheiser HD 600's and can...

I've had the pleasure of owning the HD 598 for almost three weeks and I've almost no fault with the headphones. The HD 598 do everything well- a wonderful liquid-like midrange, a large, beautiful soundstage and smooth and absolutely unsibilant treble. (except for that peak from 17-20K, this can...

I'm currently interested in four main options (EDIT: 5, including both FiiO's) in amping these cans to their full potential- of which I cannot say, so I'll let you guys help!     I'm personally more interested in the Dragonfly and the O2, but it honestly doesn't matter as long as it provides...

I'm planning to get the Sennheiser HD 598's pretty soon and I would like an amp for the cans, preferably under $150, as said above. I have looked in as many threads as I can, but I can't seem to find many recommendations. Some suggestions I have heard are the FiiO lineup, the Bravo Audio Ocean...

Hey guys, so I'm trying to find some good all-rounder headphones (I like alt rock, indie pop, bit of jangle pop, classical, etc.) that are around $175- $250. (preferably maybe a bit cheaper than $250, but I'm open to suggestions) I would prefer an open back  headphone that has good, little...
