Budget - I am pretty flexible here, as long as I can make it make sense to myself. But lets say 600 Source - Gaming PC Requirements for Isolation - Anything will work. Will you be using these Headphones in Public? No Preferred Type of Headphone - Full Size Preferred tonal balance - Mostly...

I had coverage on my dt 770 pro 80 ohms, coming right around 220 for a gift card that must be spent at guitar center   What should I get? My current gear is: Akg 7xx(waiting on delivery) Aune t1 mk2 (with the new gold lion) Big slappa case(had it to carry my dt 770 to school[they broke...

I am claiming insurance on these from guitar center and have a buyer lined up for the gift card. So I can shop anywhere.   I use these for everything: anime, movies, games and music( pop, rock of most variants, country newer and older, some rap, and some basshunter here and there) I have a...

I just got done building my mini desktop gaming rig. I went the itx route so i have no extra slots for a high end sound card.    so that leaves stand alone equipment right? atleast that is what i think   I have the dt-770 pro 80ohm version. they seem kind of muddy at times.   I dont want...

does the material that the enclosure of a diy amp is made up of matter? i see lots of good looking metal amps, but i really prefer wood. is there a reason not to encase in wood?

are these a solid headphone? how well do they last? i am debating on them, i went to guitar center and talked with a manager this time, who ofcourse offered to let me demo anything in the store after i told him how rude his sales associate was the other day.   long story short me and the gf...

i am a newbie trying to break into the scene here. i want to upgrade from my shure 840s which i brke at school to something more colorful not as flat almost as the shures, i was wondering if there is a meet coming up where i could test a few sets of lower end cans and lower end amp setups. Im in...

i was a fun sound that works well at home with a schiit modi and magni but will be decent enough from a laptop and a tablet while at school. I prefer full size and over ear. comfort is somewhat of an issue. i prefer toi buy at guitar center so i can test them in person and i also have a gift...

I was told these would be a very solid upgrade from my shure 840 headphones i broke the other day, i am faily limited to gutar center as i have a 217 dolar gift card for the replacement of my headphones. For portable use would the sonys be recommended? is the sound the same? just everything...

is a cmoy really the best place to start? it seems like a cmoy isnt going to do much for sound. Is there another small amp that has a longer life expectancy for someone just breaking into this? i am looking at buying a fiio e17 but would prefer to build a portable amp if there is something that...

i was looking at the sony xperia z tablet with the build in headphone amp, i was wondering if this is really the best option. I have shure 840s and hopefully will be upgrading to the mdr 7520s in the near future. i am a student will also use the tablet for ebooks and movies between classes. i...

So i have decided that i would like to start piecing together a pretty decent but affordable setup. my cans right now really dont need an amp as they are shure 840s, that will change soon hopefully. I have seen the ssmh ofcourse, the bottlehead crack and so on. i was not really sure if i should...

Not sure if i can justify the price jump from the shures to an upgrade, i paid 200 for the shure cans and have really loved them. they seem very natural to me and have a realist sound i suppose. i guess you audiophiles call it neutral. to get to the point here, i want to see where the best...

So I am totally new to this, I will be making my first cmoy on Monday. I was looking into making a starving student, however I am now wondering if a amp/dac hybrid is doable. I would love to stay with a tube amp, I think the tubes look amazing. I have a local tube retailer so that I can get them...

Hello, I am new to the whole head-fi thing. I am looking for a set of headphones to start into my wallet deflating hobby! I have spent the last 3 days looking at rigs in the forums, all i can say is wow. i have absolutely no clue what 90% of the stuff is. However my klipsch 2.1 speakers started...
