[quote user="Paul S"]Mani, my first thoughts were questions, whether you want to fill the room "like headphones fill your head" or you want to aim the speakers right at your ears and "do the mixing inside your head, like headphones".[/quote]Hi Paul,M...

[quote user="zanon"]Does anyone know of CD mixed especially for headphone?Maybe two mics, 6 inches apart, is the correct way to record for such a playback system.[/quote] All of them. Zanon, most of the CD are mastered by electricians in headphones...

Headphones shall not take to different direction. In fact it shall not be a lot of changes in sound when your take your headphones off and begin to listen your speakers. Speakers shall be MUCH more advised in imaging and spaceial department but good ...

[quote user="kodomo"]I heard the same not just from one but from a few guys for my playback as well! I think it is because of the all encompassing effect and the strength of the stereo image. Most people have never heard that strong of a phantom cent...

The headphone amplifiers are mystery for me. Form one perspective it should be simple but from another perspective I never heard any interestingly performing headphones amplifiers. Well, I have to take it back probably as wherever I even heard differ...

[quote user="SearcherOfBetterSound"] These are overall the best headphones I've used, having neutrality, details, and natural sound. [/quote]
Nope, they do not have what you call “details”. In fact they are very lay back in the “details” world. Howe...

Ok, I ordered this a day before making the thread, and got them yesterday. These are overall the best headphones I've used, having neutrality, details, and natural sound. What's important to note is that when you touch the back or inside, you don't r...

…it is not the point. I do not think that you need to try anything else. I replied to you not with the intention to tell you what to try and what to buy - I habitually do not do it and you could get this idiotic counsel at many other sites. The reaso...

Is it only me or there is something more in it? I generally like headphones but can’t stand some music in them. For instance Stravinsky is absolutely boring in headphones and his music much opens islet up while paying it without headphones. Is it has...

Yes, the Active Placette would drive headphone, still I do not like the sound. I get way more proper sound when Placette driver my “big” system then what is drivers headphone. I use headphone quite aggressively but mostly for “technical listening” (l...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Those 3 new units had huge between butteries and AC.[/quote]I don't really want to share my thoughts on the sound of the PP2000 until my dedicated circiut is in place. But I will say that fed from my current utility line, t...

I use Jecklin Float Electrostatic headphones (known to some as ear speakers as they sit slighlty away from your ears) and the nearest speaker I have ever heard emulate the feeling of these headphones is the ESL 57's. They are noto...

Any ideas about what sort of weight and/or strength/ and/or damping advantages over previous diaphragm materials we are talking about? Of course they would need larger diaphragms and significant audible results before I would agree that this mat...

I like them and use the quite extensively. As the comparing result between the headphones and the loudspeakers…. they are different. The best speakers sound-wide would do a similar result to what the headphones can do but the loudspeakers but will ha...

Ha! Maybe I can help. I lived in Tokyo for a few years and tried to find the "perfect" commuting earbuds. Tokyo's "Best Buy" type electronics stores are huge and typically stock 100s of different models. There are also two large headphone specialty s...

Headphones can help people build good cheap systems, and/or also not have to worry about the room, annoying others with loudness. There's some ground to cover that shouldn't be THAT hard or expensive. If you've "given up" on finding good headphone so...

[quote user="scooter"]I think that is a VERY interesting issue to think about in the broader scope of sound reproduction with full-scale systems. [/quote]I'm not sure it's so interesting in the context of speakers--you have much more parameters to pl...

Ok, the Headphone “Baby Melquiades” protect is over. Well, kind of over as there are some issues still are hanging in there.
A brief summary. The initial idea was to use the Melquiades’ input stage to drive headphones. Unfortunately it did not...

I got it yesterday from the Spanish distributor. First thing was bringing it here to the computer to try the USB feature. The PC recognized it immediately as USB audio device. Without reading the instructions manual, something I usually do - not read...

[quote user="N-set"] I've been "forced" to listen on headphones due to real estate constraints and it seems those constraints will stay for few more years.
At the moment I'm using Stax Omega 2 MkI powered by a solid state amp Stax 717. I've always...

As I was saying: who the hell need a headphone setup if it does not sound as good as the speakers setup? So it is the way in which I approach the headphone sound. The headphones intrinsically have problem with MF and “wrong bass”. There are ways to d...

I can’t say that I like the headphones that people call “good.” I have heard a number of high-class phones, including the one that I was told cost over 5 thousands dollars and I was not impressed what I heard. Some people suggest the while I used tho...

[quote user="Thorsten"]Not quite. What is wrong is not the Amplifier, but ....[/quote]Well, it would not explain why I never had his problem before and why the output from a good CD walkman does not produce this effect even if I listen the headphones...

After spending more time with my new headphone amplifier I decided to put it aside for time being. I have learned today that there is something g deeply wrong with it. It sounds quite fine before but today I actually has a first time not juts to “lis...

This is something I've been chewing on for quite some time and finally decidedto make it happen: a serious Stax headphone amplifier.I hope I can use this space as a sort of a blog-report on the progress...if not feel free to remove. I've been "forced...

I've always used to think the headphone market wasn't really that bad, more like a very healthy, "you can't go too wrong" thing. While I've already thought differently before making this thread, you just keep shitting on my face trying to wake me up ...

Romy you take it from the wrong end. Of course the image is vastly different as the sound is in your head with the headphones and not laid out in front of you. But a centre image is exactly at centre (not in front but centre, a phantom inside your he...

There are a few moments I am working with now. One is the notorious “viola dryness” – the concept that I am staggering for years. Another thing is that my room each some dynamics of my Macondo – something that my old room did not do. OK it is given t...
