    Q701 impressions thread

    Hey guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on these but can't between decide between the white and black one. Can any long time owners of the white version comment on how easy or hard for it is for them to get dirty? I'm concerned about long time dirt smudging or smearing that may be hard to...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Thanks. I read that but I didn't want to do anything drastic such as cutting since the X1 is such a beautiful headphone, and my X1 is also just a week old so I would like to keep the warranty. We have horrible return policies here and I can't return the headphones just because they don't fit...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Does anybody know how I go about loosening the tension of the elastic inside the headband? I wear them and start with my ears in the center of the earcups, but after a few minutes, the earcups get pulled up with the bottom of the earpads latching onto my earlobes. I pull them down, then they...

    Superlux HD-330 experiences and discussion

    Hey folks, how's it going?   Does anyone know if an Asus Xonar DGX would be able to drive these headphones properly?   Thanks!

    Review: Philips CitiScape Uptown (Updated Sept 18, 2012)

    Hello, I just got these headphones yesterday and totally love them. I love how they sound and find the comfort to be top notch. I have only used Sennheisers so I'm still trying to adjust to how bright these are.   However, my right earcup is doing some creaking which is very annoying. The...

    [Review] Superlux HD681 EVO

    I cut up some mousepads to make the earpads deeper. Ears barely touch the drivers now.

    So how much better are the M50s vs a gaming headset?

    I think something semi-open from Superlux would suit you. They sound great and have good soundstage. Not to mention dirt cheap, around $40 where I'm from. The money you save can go towards a new video card and maybe an amp. I have CAL!s for music and switch over to my Superlux HD681B when...

    Open-Back headphones with bass

    The Superlux HD681 EVO has some nice mid-bass and slightly rolled-off highs.   It also costs <$50.

    Koss Portapro Thread

    I just got these yesterday to replace my PX100-II because of comfort issues. I have always avoided on-ear types because they always hurt my ears, but the PortaPros are an exception! Zero discomfort at all.   Does anybody have an idea of a mod I can do to the headband to keep it from...

    Superlux HD681 EVO Isolation?

    Leakage is pretty bad. At a high but still comfortable listening volume, I can hear them from 5 feet away in a quiet room. For public transport like the bus or train, I don't think the leakage would be a problem since there will be a lot of people talking around you and motor noise, but wouldn't...

    Which should I get?

    Totally agree with GREQ's comment on Razer's audio quality. My brother stopped using his Electra and Carcharias when I gave him my Superlux HD681B. So, yeah, I'd get the HD419.   If you are just going to use them at home, maybe something semi-open from Superlux would interest you? They...

    [Review] Superlux HD681 EVO

    I got mine last week for 1,790 Pesos, which is around $45.   Unfortunately, I put it back in its box after listening to it for an hour because I found the mid-bass a bit too muddy.   Comfort-wise the clamp was a bit on the strong side for me. And as Skar mentioned, the headband doesn't...

    Do i need a sound card to properly hear these?

    The audio headers are the cables that are connected to the front of your PC that you connect to your motherboard. Most PC cases usually have 2 connecters - one is AC97 and the other is HD Audio.
