yep and i dont feel like waiting being as i get my amp + dac next week
My best gaming cans are without a shadow of a doubt the Stax Omega II's the 404 vintage signatures come a close second though, Then the ultrasone 2200ule's all open, all properly amped.
O2s do not have a large headstage ... it would be confusing to wear for gaming dispite the fact their 2400$
I have a question for you (mainly momomo6789, but anyone is more than welcome) on the Ultrasone HFI-780. If I can get a very lightly used pair for $180ish, would these be the headphones to get? I have an Asus rampage 2 extreme and it has an add on x-fi card and in the review you said that they were the best for on board sound without anything turned on, so would these be a good choice for me as I'm not going to add an amp or sound card any time soon? Thanks.
seen them as low as 160 used try head-fi.com you can get 189$ shipped new. i dont look on here much so pm if you got any more questions.
great review dude
I have Only HD650 and its amazing for music , but i am looking forward to buy D7000 for gaming only ,
Can my DACMagic and Graham slee amp drive the D7000 ?
d7000s are the easiest headphones i have to amp @ 106 DB sensitivity D7000s destroy Hd650s for music and games.
thank youQuote:

another question please
Since the D7000 has only Impedance (Ohm) 25 , and the DACMagic has Impedance (Ohm) 50 ,
Is it better if i disconnect the Graham amp and i connect the D7000 direct to the DACMagic with balanced cable ?
you would need a balanced amp to use the xlr out.
I thought that i can connect the D7000 direct to the DACMagic :p:Quote:

OH MY GOD! :eek: DHL guy just brought me Audio technica ATH-AD700 and that was the first impression. Well, not quite, fisrt I thought that "wow, really big and quite ugly... oh well", but when I fired these up... oh my god! The soundstage is amazing. I really have been living in a bottle. :D
All my favorites like pink floyd, dire straits, infected mushroom, yello, neil young, sarah mclahlan, patricia verve, norah jones, etc. just sounds amazing. And I do mean, all those really good mixes like pink floyd just blows your mind.
I just don't understand people who says these don't have bass? Well maybe not if you are half deaf ADHD child who listens all that low dynamic cra* what music industry is bumping to market and if your head has to shake every time bass drum hits. If the music has bass then these will deliver it. Maybe there could be a tad bit more but not much. As of now, it's sound balanced. Don't even think to use some sort bass boost, it just makes bass sound more flyffy and it doesn't deliver the clarity and deepness. If there isn't clarity and deepness then no bass boost will help.
Don't get me wrong, these definately might not be the best headphones, but for the price... wow. And the comfort, I could use these all day long with ease. Maybe just a little big for my head, but still fits quite good.
Finally for educational reason, here is for those who don't understand how music industry is raping our music. Turn Me Up!
BTW, how should I burn in these new headphones? Just by listening normally music or much more volume?
burn in huh. metallica is what burn in with i burn in at about 15%-20% louder then i would use them at. i put like 500 hours on my d7000s didn't really do anything as far as i could tell but some would say otherwise.
^^^ Which is why the whole concept of "burning in" headphones is a very controversial subject among those of us in the world of audiophile headgear. ;)Quote:

A few years ago a friend who is one of the top audio techs @ Sony Pictures gave me some "sound" advice on the burn in process which was confirmed through countless tests and computer analysis of the sound production throughout the process.
The best results were achieved while being powered using a quality tube based amplifier, while playing classical music at a level slightly above that of what you'd normally listen to. The added power of the amplifier was crucial to properly breaking in the drivers, the classical music was ideal for bringing a very dynamic, yet smooth range of harmonics... and keeping the volume above the norm is to ensure the excursion of each driver is broken in at any tonal range that you may listen to music.
Harsh music like metal does not typically bring a frequency range to the drivers that covers everything from 20dbA to 20,000dbA... the typical range of hearing for humans.
He also noted that tubes are better for burning in new cans specifically because they give a much warmer tone to music and are not nearly as harsh on the new drivers.
But like any theory regarding headphones... no two people are the same.
