    So you are probably going to say next to get the Schiit asgard, which supposedly is a good buy but i think its way too expensive. I don't own an iPod, but for me, the cans sound great out of the laptop.

    I don't think you need an amp for 598s though, they go loud enough through most devices, laptops and iPods for example. Also, it has been discussed several times, that 595s and 598s are different headphones with different sounds and different drivers. The 595s may be good with metal compared to...

    Review by 'JamestheRipper' on item 'Sennheiser HD 598'

      I bought the HD598 for 200 bucks. I had to have quick delivery because I was leaving America soon which accounts for the relatively high price.   I don't regret the buy at all because I think they sound fantastic. People say they lack bass? I think this is quite a warm headphone, and...

    Nixon Master Blaster

    I have never reviewed anything really, so I probably am unable to use most of the terminology, but here it goes!   People say "oh no not another fashion headphone" but never really gave it a chance or reviewed it - but they can be quite fun!   I'll admit they aren't worth the $200/$250...

    Review: Fiio E7

    i think im going to be the most controversial person here, and say that i dont really like the FiiO E7 even though it is my first DAC and Amp. I dont really need the amp because I have Westone UM3X and Sennheiser HD 598, but I really dont like it as a DAC. I prefer the sound from my Cowon S9 and...

    Buying a whole new set up!

    the E7/E9 is a dac as well, and apparently its got plenty of power for the hd800's.   how is the asgard so much better? im not very familiar with this, because the only amp i have ever used was built in to my stereo player and wasnt particularly good.

    Quote: i listen to mainly rock, metal and electronica. i also listen to some music where i consider ambience to be important (eg classical, vocals (namely Adele)). i dont expect to find something which is perfect for everything, just something which is good at everything and notably...

    Buying a whole new set up!

    Quote:   I know that, but do you think I should play around with several cheaper headphones to be satisfied on a signature? These headphones seem to be very well recommended and are around the 100 dollar mark: Sennheiser HD555 Sennheiser HD25-1 II Audio-Technica ATH M-50 AKG...

    Buying a whole new set up!

    Quote: where can this this stuff authentically and for cheap?   and also do you think that an Asus Xonar DG with Audio Technica ATHM50 would be a good (and very cheap) option?

    Buying a whole new set up!

    Hi,   I dont have a good 'at home' listening set up right now, so that's what I am aiming for.   I might be getting a new computer this summer, and I'm unsure about going with the Fiio E7/E9 set up, or if I should buy an Asus Xonar Essence ST because I have head great things about the...
