Mason Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hi all at the moment I have Sony Z1R with Topping DX7s ... I am a bit bored with Sony Z1R and I want to try something else ... I used to have the sennheiser hd800s and I liked them very much , but they were not very usable to me as it was very loud so I sold and bought Sony Z1R... I also tried sennheiser hd820s but to me it was not like sennheiser hd800s... what do you think is the best for the close headphone better than Sony Z1R...also should I think about upgrading my Topping DX7s as well? also on a separate matter, I dream to own FOCAL UTOPIA if that ever happen, what is the best DAC/AMP , my guess is using Topping DX7s is out of question ? Thanks in advance Link to comment
phillip Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I use NAD HP50 at work. First closed headphone I tried that doesn't sound like a can. Link to comment
saidentary Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 You may want to read the review of the ZMF Verite Closed headphones by Josh Mound. I own a pair and am stunned at how amazing they sound. You mentioned the Focal Utopia. I heard them once at a headphone meet. To me they sounded extremely fast and detailed, possibly faster than the HiFiMAN HE1000 that I own. However, the Utopia occasionally sounded a bit too bright for my taste. The Verite Closed are also extremely detailed but not harsh. They're really amazing. Link to comment
cjf Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I use Mr Speakers Alpha Prime with a Benchmark DAC3 but they are no longer made. I suspect some of the newer offerings from Mr Speakers may fit the bill though. Very impressive sounding headphones,,IMO My Audio System -Last Updated May 20 2021 Link to comment

Bones13 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 One of my work spaces requires closed headphones. It’s not really a critical listening location. I use a Focal Elegia there, after trying a run of cheaper alternatives. SQ, and isolation, are really good.
