    Currently using a modius which I'm satisfied with, but I'd like BT for my phone. I thought about getting a USB switch and cables to make it work, but I'd prefer wireless, so here we are. Requirements: XLR outputs Bluetooth Schiit Modius or better sound quality Around $400 give or take Thanks...

    Sony MH750/755 upgrade path?

    So, I had to put my Sony phone through RMA and I got one of these back out of luck. I knew nothing about them prior, and I was like what? How do these sound so good. I ended up returning a pair of Raptgo Hook-Xs that I recently bought because of them. Wavelet app to neutralize it and then add a...

    Looking for IEM under $500 for phone

    Will be my dedicated IEMs for my phone. I like a warm sound with a large soundstage. Dynamic driver preferred. I primarily listen to lofi and its analogs, so something that has some kick in the bass is strongly desired (basshead). I know my way around equalizers to balance the resonances and...

    Looking for a niche DAC

    I can't find anything like this. Here's what I'm looking for:   Integrated 2 channel speaker amp (doesn't have to be super powerful- 40-50w is perfectly fine) Balanced DAC with XLR outputs (I use monitors and want to be able to use XLR outputs to connect them to the DAC) Said DAC needs...

    Looking for some good IEMs

    Budget: $400 or less   Sound Signature: I prefer a generous bass bump with neutral mids and highs. I also appreciate a large soundstage, as that is the single-most important aspect for me when it comes to the sound characteristics (you can't equalize a better soundstage).   Fit: I want them...

    Inverting the polarity on headphones dramatically changes soundstage

    Well, this is more of a discovery on my part, and I wanted to share my findings.   I'm using Foobar2K with a polarity inversion dsp, and the resulting sound is pretty different. Headphones are AD2000Xs.     Overall, the sound is wider and more out of your head sounding. On some songs...

          Before you get all excited about some all new Audio Technica headphone, the AD2000MKIV is a major modification of the AD-900s. They have AD2000 drivers in them, a Pro700MKII driver plate (basically the front ring that is around the driver unit and screws into the headphone enclosure-the...

    [Complete] AD900->AD2000 Driver Transplant Mod

    Like the title says, I'm going to be putting AD2000 drivers in my AD900 headphones. Why, you may ask? Because I purchased the drivers for $94 directly from Audio Technica, and I don't want to dish out $600 for a pair of headphones.   Here's some pics right now of my problem. Any ideas on...

    ATH-AD900 Owners, I need you help

    I'm getting really interested in these headphones, not because of how they sound, but because of the construction of the headphone, especially the driver area. So, for any of the AD900 owners on here, I'd really appreciate it if you could take some pictures of the driver area (unscrew the...

    Worthy upgrade from the ATH-M50?

    I need to buy a new set of cans after I blew the right speaker in my m50. I've narrowed it down to a few sets of cans like the German Maestro GMP 8.35 D monitor headphones, and the shure srh 840. Reviewers are saying that the Maestro is just a great all around headphone like the srh 840, but i'm...

    After hours and hours of research, I have narrowed it down to two headphones: 1. HFI-780- $195 2. DT 770 PRO 80- $170 3. Any other ones out there similar to these around $200 I am going in circles trying to decide which one I should get because both headphones are pretty much the same...

    UPGRADE FOR ATH-M50?

    I am looking for a pair of headphones that are an acceptable upgrade from the ATH-M50s. Well, lets get straight to the point... I prefer ACCURATE, hard hitting bass that doesn't reduce the mids and highs (like what some people say about the Denon D2000) I listen to some Hip-Hop, but most of...

    Should I get the DENON AH-D2000?

    I've been reviewing the headphone for a while now and I don't know if I should purchase it or not. Some people say that the headphone is great, with nice mids and highs and a LOT of bass. But, there are also some people that say there is too much bass, or the bass sounds muddy and loose and...
