Same thing happens on my hf-1, after amped still not much difference. Perhaps it will benefit from a dedicated amp? Which will be about the same price(or more!) as the phones and the improvement is about 10-15%?

Hope there is another KL's head-fi meet soon...

The SR60 is just a starting point for u to embrace to the dark side, stay tuned on this forum...!
Can't u hear? other high-end headphones are beckoning you to listen and take them home...hahaha

How's your hf-1 if compared to SR225?
I heard it is a special edition of SR225, iziit true?

The dark side sure is expensive... ^^;

Yup, limited run on 450units. With John Grado siggy on the pizzabox. Woodies housing, silver grille and new driver(rumour?). Too bad I nvr listened to any grados myself b4 I bought it. Can do a comparo if there is a meet. I saw a sr-225 in mikechai audiophile meet last time...not sure whose sr-225.

yup, that's quite true. When you buy higher end phones, you'd need some serious amps to drive them, with the exception of some low imp phones. So, there's a big leap in price as u move from mid-fi phones to hi-fi phones.

ahhhhh feel so nice getting rid of all my stuff hehehehe 1 more thing to go(sr71)!

Ermm a question about my SR60. How come when I tried to cover the back of the phones with my hands, the sound quality just...'drops'?

and is there anyway I can reduce the sound leakage? XD

You mean you covered the screen of the earcup? Don't...it's open cans. The way u did defeats the purpose of the cans. I must agreed it leaks a lot...if you want to get the best sounding, listen to it in quiet environment.

yeah I covered them with my hands cause I thought it might reduce the leak...it didn't. It also caused the sr60 to sound terrible. Would it damage the phones if I did that?

No that won't harm your cans. You can even cover the whole cans with cloth during break-in, just to reduce the noise when you are not listen to it.

Leaking only matter to peoples beside you right , perhap u need to get a closed model as compliment.

My akg271s is not bad, leaking nothing at all and u hardly heard anything outside. I think the sound stage is wider and deeper than sr60.

I heard alamak said grado has the smallest soundstage of all mid end headphones...even my ksc75 is more airy than hf-1

wanna ask backphones need to burn-in a not ?

mine is Philips SHS850

whats talking you? ^^;
yes I really did try to cover them with my hands if thats what you mean.

Oops, I'm sorry I posted a question about the technical issues of headphones here. Have realised and shifted it to the other thread already. Now to fill this up with something.....
Oh and I've also tried doing so (covering the ear cups) on my HP890, aha yea and for the first time I do realise the sounds does change

hey guys....any recommendation for ipod mini headphones? a decent 1....budget around 100-200

the normal recommendations are :

Sennheiser PX100, Koss Portapros for portable style headphones
Koss KSC-75 for clipons
Philips HP895 for full sized headphones
Philips SHE9500 / Sony EX-71 for canalphones

what kinda phones are u looking for?

Just wondering out of these headphones which is the best? Sennheiser sure has the name but would those in-ear headphones give you a better sound quality, since it blocks the noises from your surrounding?

Thanks.

very indentically ?
