say that i want to switch from my sony mdr-7506 to more serious headphones. is there someone that happily switched from those to another pair? im more likely to trust those who have had the sony for a long time but since we're on the internet, any opinion is welcome. i'd love to hear sounds more distinct. |

I'm using Roland RH-50s at the moment and finding them to be quite good. They're not as detailed in the midrange as the far more expensive Fostex pair I had before them but they have much more clarity in the top and bottoms. |
||||||||

I always recommand Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about sennheiser hd 650? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can't go wrong with sennheiser. pick any of these (depending on your price range): |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how could it be, they cost only 30? and the fostex, 70 or 80 depending on the model? @monoid: that's in the same price range of the sony, please say something more those sennheiser looks ultra sexy.. i'm getting pumped |

I got these with the same gold ringgs |
||||||||

my dog chewed through my senns so I'm using audio-technica ATH-D40fs |
||||||||

Well if you like a 'warm' sound Beyerdynamic is for you.I tried some other headphones, in the same price range, but i did not like the thin sound. These headphones i guess aren't especially for dance music, but more for classical music. Hmm thats all i can say, that and the artists for haiti are wearing them in the artists for haiti video...capitalism |

haha ok |

Bought Audio a few month ago and i´m very happy with them. they are also good for mastering. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
big second that. audio technica are really good, very nicely balanced and mixes do transfer better than any headphones i've ever used. proper robust design too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm tempted yo, the Sennheiser 650 are too expensive given a look to the other prices and descriptions, the Audio Techinca seems to satisfy my needs the most |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
reading the Sennheiser 650 reviews on amazon more than one seem to put on evidence the fact that you have to be patient, that they do their job gradually.. that is not a Sennheiser 650 feature, it's them ears pricks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*the mdr 7506 are not in the same price range of the Beyerdynamic not anymore at least, they costs only 86 dollars |

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD590, and they did actually take awhile to "break in" or whatever... but maybe the headphones were actually reprogramming my brain, etc. But anyway... Super open and solid sound. I love them. ...except my cable is fucked, so I gotta get a new one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i swear it was the same with the sony, it took a lot. my cable is fucked ad well, sometimes when i take strange positions i get sound only on the right channel. it might be the jack, but then i adjust myself and everythings back to normal. the material is consumed as it would be after 4 years, but apart from that and occasional electostatic shocks they still work fine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it's the jack, and the sound comes only from the left channel |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm playing with that right now, it's actually a panning plug-in inside the heaphones |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I ruined 3 headphones that way, the cables somehow broke |

i think they are all released in 2010 though, the top 10s |
||||||||
|

but that seems really good |

great site thanks yo! |

watch out though, they seem overpriced: Sennheiser MM 400 Bluetooth for 270S is 170€ on amazon for example also they dont list khz & Ω in specifications |

Beyerdynamic DT 770 -- recommended! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i've noticed it too, i won't buy from them though, i'm gonna check the store where i bought the others. i was lucky with headphones but unlucky with midi keyboards, bought two edirol that sucked alot, this last one (pcr m1) loses a key a month, damn me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry to hear about your keyboards, midi keyborads should be worth another thread, but im quite satisfied with the behringer umx49. still really dont know about my portable headphones solution, wireless or not etc... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
not wireless |

Here's my quick rundown of various headphone manufacturers' house sounds: AKG - Natural, tame, balanced, nice for engineering purposes Sennheiser - Excellent, comfortable headphones that do great with classical music Beyer - Lots of highs + lows, good for electronic music, but not very strong midrange until you start talking about their upper models Sony - Don't bother Grado - Kind of silly sounding to me, but quite good with rock music. Not comfortable at all, not good for mixing. Audio Technica - Never heard them myself, but their reputation is strong among those who are looking for a quality, balanced closed headphone. Kinda expensive compared to other headphones of a similar quality. |

Have had a pair of mdr-v600's for five years or so. They've taken all the abuse I've handed them & still sound clear. Wouldn't go as far as to call them clinical but they don't lie much. Isn't a whole lot of bass response but that can be a good thing as my sub woofer can make things to muddy. All in all i'd buy them again. My friend has a pair of grado's which he swears by. I gather their more "audiophile" oriented. I've had sennheiser's before but i ended up blowing one pair & the other set fell apart on me. I dont think the sennheiser's or the audio technica's are meant to be thrown around or left in a backpack. I've heard good things about the more expensive akg's from engineers so they might be a good route. |
||||||||

|

yes i think i'll treat this new ones with more care and use the sonys as spare car. i've always been satisfied with them except for the bass, but i think i never really trained the ear for a proper bass frequency cos of a sum of circustances, speakers sucking a bit, no possibility to play stuff loud ect. it is a shame thanks for the response TroutMask, i've been waiting for your post |
||||||||
|
|

|

i haven't checked yet, but i learnt to match the equalization of the speakers with the one of the 7506s just by turning the sub down and boosting teh highs. sounds like heaphones in a living room. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'learnt to match' sounds a bit pretentious the only sure thing is that's impossible to make something by ear without both the listenings |

-real monitors -modal ringing tamed via velocity or pressure based traps -reflection free zone (20ms ISD, all reflections above -20dB destroyed) -late arriving diffused soundfield (exponentially decaying) (all verified with ETC graph) = happy |

if you pass from Milan-Italy some day, come to my place and make everything you just said = hapy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
