Audiophile•Massdrop x HiFiMAN HE-350 Audiophile Headphones

Besides the K7XX, I own every headphone you listed and I couldn't disagree more. The 350s are well worth $100. These need lots of burn in, the sibilence lessens and the bass improves. I love my SHP9500s, but they don't have nearly the presence or low end of the 350s. The Philips also lack much needed clamp force and don't handle much power. On the other hand, it takes a car battery to really drive MK3s. They handle 3000mw @ 50ohms and...

Audiophile•Massdrop x HiFiMAN HE-350 Audiophile Headphones

Mine arrived today. Tried a bunch of familiar tracks with it on my portable player+amp. I agree with previous first impressions posted here, the high frequency is harsh. It even breaks (chalkboard scraping) under certain tone which is torturous to my ears. Bass is less pronounced than expected. Do not get me wrong, I am NOT a bass head and almost hate the loud low-freq sound. However I am expecting a well defined bass from a pair that bears...

I've never had the budget to purchase a pair of decent and audiophile-approved headphones, IEMs, or speakers/monitors, so starting a few years ago, I started hunting for the best quality sound I could get for around $50. I started with a pair...

Audiophile•Philips Fidelio X2

If you're shooting for the same $200 price (but may have to pay state sales tax in US), why not skip on over to Amazon? Right now they are $250 but with a $50 off coupon: https://smile.amazon.com/Philips-X2-27-Fidelio-Headphones/dp/B00O2Y2MZG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481898959&sr=8-1&keywords=fidelio+x2 Would still love to see MassDrop ace that one - say at a $150 target price. That would be nigh on irresistible for us audio nuts / wannabes -...

Audiophile•Massdrop x AKG K7XX Red Edition

Compared to K7xx, the X2 delivers more dynamics an details? Hard to believe, considering my experience in using my X2 and my AKG 612pros (which are, soundwise, said to be between K712pro and K702). If that´s the case, I should overthink dropping on the K7xx, because my X2 - in my personal opinion - own a slightly to warm tuning and the upper rolloff could be fairly higher - nowhere near my 612s reproduction of heights. However X2´s build...
