I know this has been asked before, I've searched around...but I have a few special needs on my search.    I'm looking for a decent pair of headphones for my electronic music.  I own the HD600's and think they sound pretty damn good for just about all my music, but I bought my HD600's for...

I'm looking to purchase an amp solely for portable use with my current iPhone 4......I'm planning on switching to the Galaxy S4 when it comes out.  I've read in another thread that most amps with DAC's, their DAC's get bypassed by the phones on most models....I'm unsure if this is correct?   ...

I got a pair of Emotiva Airmotiv powered speakers and would like to hook them up with a sub using my sound card.  I have an Essence ST, with RCA outs...the speakers also have RCA inputs, so I'm set there.  I've been looking for a subwoofer to add that has RCA ouputs on it to hook the speakers up...

I just bought some Emotiva airmotiv powered speakers and I was wondering how you would go about adding a sub to the system.  I currently have them connected via RCA from my Essence ST sound card.  I have a powered sub that has RCA inputs for both sub Line-in and L/R's, but I only see outputs for...

I just got a set of Emotiva Airmotiv 4's and I'm a little unsure what to do with the setting on the back of each monitor and with my soundcard to get the best sound.  Everything sounds fine now, but is there anything I should change?    As of right now I am not using a Sub, and these are...

I'm still pretty new to this scene and I just upgraded from a pair of HD555's to a pair of HD600's.  My 555's ran pretty well off my soundcard being that they don't require much to make them work properly....now that my 600's are on the way, I'm starting to think of other ways to get the most...

I'm looking to upgrade to a better set of headphones and I'm coming from HD555's.  I mainly listen to classical and everywhere I read, people suggest getting the 600's over the 650's.  I was just wondering if someone could go into detail as to why we would choose these over the other.  I dont...

I have a pair of HD555's at the moment and I'm looking to step up to something better.  I mainly listen to classical, I love my 555's but I notice when some music gets to the higher registers, some things can sound kind of harsh in a piercing kind of way.....ie, violins in the upper register at...

I'm planning on getting some M-Audio BX5a Deluxe monitors, and I've heard, for good bass you'll need to add a sub.  I'm a little confused on how to set this up coming from my PC.   I currently have an HT-Omega Claro+ Soundcard and the outputs are all 1/8th or Optical/Coaxial jacks  ...

Been a few months now, and I'm ready to upgrade from my 555's.  I was thinking to move to 650's, but someone else suggested the 600's or k701's.   Would either of these be a noticeable difference over my 555's....and can anyone suggest maybe some other higher end cans up to about $500?    ...

I'm getting ready to replace my aging Logitech Z-680's with something a bit nicer. I dont use the 5.1 feature of the logitech and would rather a really nice 2.0/2.1 system.   Last year I had my eyes on the M-Audo AV 40's...then came across the BX5's but have read lots of complaints about...

Hey all,   Got my first pair of decent headphones a few months back (Sennheiser 555's) and I'm looking to start upgrading other audio components in my PC.  I have an HT-Omega Claro+ Sound card....it has an opamp in the headphone jack already, so I never needed to buy and amp for desktop use...

Hey all,   For a few years now I've been using my Logitech Z-680's....they held up really well but just havnt been using the 5.1 setup on them and I'm looking to upgrade to something for "audiophile" like. I have my eyes on the Audioengine 5's. My only concern making the purchase and having...

So I got my first pair of HD555's today....they sound excellent, but I keep being drawn to the right side when listening to most music.  It almost sounds as if the right side is ever so slightly louder....or maybe even brighter sounding...I dont know how to explain it.  I put on my old headset...

Hello all....I've been checking this site out the past 2 days, and I'm going around in circles as to what to pick up.  Seems everyone has a different view on each of these headphones, and my head is starting to hurt =)  I have a huge classical music collection...most of it ripped at very high...
