    Focal Hadenys & Azurys Review & Measurements

    Do these headphones have the same sound all the other Focal cans seem to have. Kind of a hissing or air blowing sound. Hard sound to describe but the four Focal's I have tried all have an odd sound before the song starts playing

    Good Closed Backs

    I picked up the Sundara closed at Audio 46 when I was in NYC. I listened to about a dozen closed backs and they had the 2nd best sound of all of them (they were about 95% as good as a headphone that was $1,299. I loved the sound but when I got back to the hotel and was trying them my wife was...

    Shure SRH1540 Review

    I have had my 1540s for 7 years. carry them in a backpack without the protective case they came with and they still look new. I would say 7 years is durable and I can use them for hours on cross country flights with no comfort issues. I had stopped buying other headphones because I love them so...

    The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)

    I know the Shure 1540 is not close to hifi but I have owned them for 7 years now and they still put a smile on my face. I paid $350 for them on sale in 2016 and my hobby of buying new cans every few months stopped. Everyone has different ears but to my ears the 1540 is heaven. Great price on...

    [FiiO Q11] Headphone Amplifier/DAC DSD256 384kHz/32bit with 3.5/4.4mm Output(V0.13 firmware updates at 2023-04-28: UAC 1.0 function has been added.)

    The Q11 looks real interesting. The Q7 is a little more then I want to spend since I tend to lose amps on airplanes (like the topping G5 that I left on a Delta flight with a Fiio M11 that I bought in 2019, I do love my new M11 plus) I do admit I am a Fiio fan boy and would be nice to know the...

    Topping G5

    My G5 arrived the day before I left for a 8 day vacation to Hawaii with my wife. Of course I left it in the seat back with my Fiio M7 on the return flight (Lucky AMEX seems to cover lost items within 90 days, so I should get a credit on the G5) So I did not have a ton of time to use it but did...

    TOPPING G5 Portable DAC/Amp Now on Apos

    Since I broke my Monolith portable 124460 by a simple drop from sitting on a flight (knocked out the headphone jack and was quoted over $200 to fix it) I have been searching for months for a new portable. I was not able to make my mind up on what DAC/AMP to purchase and suddenly saw this thread...

    Portable headphone amp

    So I love good sound but am not a very techie type person. I have used the Shure 1540s for 5 years and love the sound. In the past I have used the Fiio Alpen and the Monolith TXH amp/DAC. I really liked the sound of the Monolith DAC with my Fiio M11 DAP. What I am asking is 2 parts. I want...

    Fiio Alpen 2 upgrade

    So my loved Fiio 17 Alpen 2 finally went to the electronic afterworld. I loved it and don't see a direct replacement from Fiio. I like great sound but am in my late 50s, so I get slightly overwhelmed by lots of features. My gear is a Shure 1540 (Love it to death and prefer its sound to much more...

    The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)

    Amazon has the Shure 1540 for $399 (well everyone does) but if you hit the speak with a harmony associate for discount code they will email you one. I (and I am sure everyone) gets 15% and that put the price of the 1540's to $339.15. Considering they were $499 just a few weeks ago and will go...

    Sennheiser's New HD Line of Affordable Headphones (HD 451, HD 461, HD 471)

    Being a huge Sennheiser fan I will probably take the plunge when I get to B and H in NYC this summer for the US Open. My 9 year old daughter who is way too into good sound for her age has taken over my Senn HD 449 that I picked up for $50 last summer. I really would like to compare them to the...
