Thank you, will keep an eye on those, they look really solid. Still open to suggestions.

Hello everyone. I currently use Sennheiser HD 598 Cs headphones that I got in 2016 for $80, one of the best deals I've ever had and I wish I'd bought 3 of those. I'm looking around on the market for a replacement and I'm not finding anything that really interests me. I drive these these for 10+...

Yeah, I'm weary about ordering to Canada from the US because of customs. Also, the Canadian peso is having a hard time, so I'd end up losing out even if I bought during sales. At least in my experience, that's what happens.

I actually own some V-Modas, I think they look too flashy for him though. Also I don't know that there are sales for president's day in Canada :P

I looked at what everybody suggested, but ended up going for the Shure srh440. Love the brand and detachable cable is really nice because it will break for sure, multiple times. As for the lack of velour pads, I guess it'll have to be fine.   Thanks!

Unfortunately IEMs won't work. They cause skin irritation in his ears which is why he needs headphones at least until his ear condition gets settled. Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll look into those.

Sound quality needs to be adequate, but he has never owned anything worth more than $40, though he's had some really bad earbuds before and he knows that some things sound terrible. So it just needs to sound pretty good, but I'd say comfort is more important here. As for isolation, it's not...

Hey guys,   I'm trying to pick some headphones for someone I know, he wants something lightweight, hopefully with a fairly sturdy or detachable cable (he snags it everywhere because he uses his headphones while working). Budget is up to $120 but cheaper is fine and preferable actually, and I'm...

Thanks for the reply! I haven't, though - I use the stock cable and it's taped to the desk to give me just the right amount of loose, so I never pull on it. I'll keep an eye on that though, thank you.

Hello guys, I have been using my HD650's for almost 2 years now, many many hours per day. They're hooked to a Schiit Asgard, the DAC is a Schiit Bifrost and the source is my PC (through USB). Somehow I can't reproduce the problem just now but I know for sure that it'll happen tomorrow. When I...

Any ideas, anybody else?

I don't know what you mean by C-LCD, unfortunately :(. That said, I'm not really looking to change my amp, and I'd be kind of fine with a sidegrade for my headphones anyway. If my Asgard is not worthy of the headphones in the $600-800 range, I'll just go head and pick up something around the...

I'm currently using HD650's with a Schiit stack (Asgard & Bifrost). I LOVE my HD650s but they have now racked a ridiculous number of hours. I've had them for about 20 months and I bet they've got about 6000 hours in them or something ridiculous, I don't know how long they're supposed to last but...

Well I've used it with my Samsung Galaxy S and my iPod classic (using different cables just in case) and I've also used it with my Schiit Bifrost using a RCA/3.5mm cable. So I'm quite stumped.

Hello, I have a serious problem with a FiiO E11 that I've bought used from a forum user here and I don't know how to even begin to address this.   I received this FiiO E11 a few days ago and it seemed fine, but once in a while it did these buzzing and beeping sounds, some of which are...

*nvm

Alright thanks a lot! I'll try to find something like that. Shipping to Canada is $40 from that website, hehe. If anyone knows of something I can pick up, I'd appreciate.   Cheers!

Hello, I'm posting here because I just bought a used Fiio E11 from someone here and I have a problem with the cable. That's very basic, I know, but maybe some people here are familiar with the specific issue. It's probably a simple fix (buy a stiffer cable or something) but let me be thorough...

Never mind, my bad

Any other clues? I've been asking and I'm kind of at a loss here.

Nothing particularly long, 6ft coax cable for SPDIF (I tried a 3ft one also, no change), 1.5ft RCA cables between the DAC and amp, and 10ft stock cable for the headphones.

I don't usually bump but I'm sure someone here can help me, I've spent quite a bit of money (by my standards) building this little setup, and I still intend to keep working at it, but I need to handle these little problems. I want to grab a Schiit Bifrost but there's no point in doing that if...

1)  I'm not familiar with voltage regulators. I have a UPS if that's what you're talking about, I could try that out. But it's a fairly cheap one so I don't know that it qualifies as a voltage regulator. (APC Back-UPS XS-1300) Edit: This also happens when my computer is connected directly to...

Hey guys, I would really appreciate some help to diagnose these problems. Here's my setup. Computer (Auzentech Bravura sound card) -> Fiio D3 -> Schiit Asgard -> HD650.   1- There is a distinct "hiss" coming from the headphones when the amp's volume knob is above half, but this only...

Nvm this needs its own thread I think.
