General overview and initial impressions of looks.   I will make this very short because I really don't feel it is worth spending the time on these.   I ordered these from iBuyGou.com on the basis that I liked the Xiaomi Pistons v2.1 IEM's. They had great overall sound...

I've just taken a punt from iBuyGou on these. Anyone got a pair yet? I can't find any reviews.   http://www.xiaomiworld.com/original-xiaomi-1-more-design-in-ear-headphones.html    

Currently I am using Sony MDR ZX700's for cans and Xiaomi Piston v2's for IEM's. However I dislike both for the following reasons.   The Sony's have no bass warmth and sound very nasal with very little sound stage. They feel cold to my ears. I don't want to be messing with the EQ to try and...

My ZX700's are giving me grief. I hate my ears touching the netting/drivers as they get sore after a while so I went looking for some replacement ear pads. It was suggested I get the Brainwavz and I have just received them. After fitting them the cans were much more pleasurable to wear. However...

As title says. You can get the tips cheaply (knockoff or otherwise) and was wondering if they only fit Bose IEM's.

I don't like the pads as they are not deep enough so I put tissue paper around the inside edges to raise the pads. Are there any other pads anyone has tried that give more space between the ear and speaker grille? More comfy perhaps? Velour? ;)

I wanted to make some custom earphone moulds so ordered some of that cheap hardening putty you put in your ears. I mixed two balls up and squished them in my ears and used my HTC One earphones (because I did not want to test this on an expensive pair just in case something went wrong....which it...

I am after a good set of on ear headphones (preferably with inline mic for phone use) that I can wear with a hat. So probably either a pair that go around the back of the head or bend over the ears. I would prefer over ear and not in ear (does not need a seal to get a good sound).   Anything...

Really digging the sound on the HTC One default headphones. Comparable to my CX300 II's. Bonus is the mic/remote. My only issue is I need some foamies. Thinking about making some of my own if I can't find any. Shame they don't give more options than the default rubbery seals.   Anyone else...

Is it possible to create and EQ profile for someone with hearing loss? I wear hearing aids but my hearing is not that bad that I am deaf without them or anything. I wear them because they help with my tinnitus mainly. However I wonder if using similar methods to help with my hearing can also be...

I've been searching to see if there are any cans that have a built in MP3 player and all I can find are some Skullcandys and Trevi headphones which don't get very good reviews. I feel the manu's are missing a trick here. I would certainly pay reasonable money for a decent set of cans that had...

I should have posted on this forum to begin with as it's really the most relevant. Currently I have Sony MDR-ZX700's but will be getting some DT990 Pro or Premiums (not decided yet) 250Ohms cans. My current amp is either the headphone out on my P5Q Deluxe motherboard (I am trying to get Asus to...

How do the specs in the thread title compare to a dedicated headphone amp? Should I be looking for a headphone amp? What types of headphone are good to go on those specs?

Well not totally. I knew it was pretty bad. I am approacing 47 years of age and have high frequency hearing loss and tinnitus. I was curious to see how badly my hearing is damaged though so downloaded NCH Tone Generator and played some test tones on my Sony MDR-ZX700's (Being careful of volumes...

I am currently using a Sony STR-DB790 AV receiver to drive my headphones (Sony MDR-ZX700's). However. I want to upgrade them and am possibly thinking of getting Beyerdynamics DT990 Premiums. I readthe 600Ohm version is meant to be really good but was wondering if my amp can drive them properly...

Now I freely admit to having hearing loss and tinnitus (I often wear hearing aids). However I can still tell when something is not right and things are definitely not right with a lot of songs I like. I purchased a pair of Sony MDR-ZX700's headphones recently. Suddenly I can hear things a whole...

I love this one.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUDTlvagjJA   EDIT: Damn! I hate it when I screw up the title and can't edit it :P

I'm curious as to where the EQ curve should be to correct these cans. Can someone draw on the second graph illustrating where they would change the EQ to make them sound closer to what they should be?

I went to Bromley today because I knew they had a Sony centre there. Also it's a little more upmarket than places like Lewisham shopping centre. They have a high end Sound & Vision shop there too and Richer Sounds plus an HMV and Maplin store.   However there was NO place to audition cans...

I'm looking for a pair of cans to use on a iPod Nano 6G (Yeah I know not Wolfson but Cirrus amped) that I can get away with not having a seperate amp. I have hearing aids so would prefer something that sits over the ears. I will also be using them for my laptop. Generally I like club/electronic...
