wind30 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 Hi People, Is it possible to get front soundstage via Headphones? I have a pair of Grado SR80 and am thinking of getting a dolby headphone decoder or something to get a front sound stage. I find the in your head music is quite tiring listening for long periods. Is there any product out there that can accomplish this? My source is my MP3 player thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rameish 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2007 Crossfeed does help with the unnatural left/right seperation that headphones offer. Both headroom and meier audio build/make headphone amplifiers with crossfeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2007 Hmm the way i intepret is u find the music to be inside ur head as in all the music is squashed up and very in the face? Thats because grado signature is partially the cause of it . They give the feeling of being next or in the performance. Crossfeeding/EAX/Virtualizations are one of the ways to counter it. however as you are still using a grado the music will still feel upfront. If u want to have a feeling of the music around u instead of inside, getting headphones like akg k501, ATH A/AD series would be an alternative also. But if u like grado signature theres nth much u can do abt it unless u get the GS1k which is grado with soundstage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wind30 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) someone suggested beyer DT990. Is that good? Any good shops to get my headphones? My budget is around $300-$400... Hopefully. Can go upwards but prefer not to. What I want is music coming from the front inside of stuck in my head..... my source is MP3 running from a nokia N95 The headroom amps are very expensive huh, seems to be upwards of $1k.

tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2007 Hmm then get a headphone would be ur best bet lol. A ATH A900. Maybe look for a second hand one would be nice. For crossfeed, actually they will only help a little though. The cheapest one would be a iBasso or C&C amp but they are portables and aint very good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is possibly one of the better setups you can get with $300. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
