GREAT !   Nothing a bit of Electrical Scotch tape won't hide. :)

Hello guys,   I was wondering about buying one sound blaster E5 to pair up with my wonderful Presonus Eris E8 for music listening.   I was wondering if there are any LED lights in the dark as I also watch movies on this thing and I was wondering is there will be any that will distract me...

I checked with a sound recorder engineer, he said it's the studio recording fault !!!   amazing !!!!   I ran with him a dire straits song where you could hear a clipping as well, he said it's not clipping it's the guitarist should plucked the guitar too hard and the mic recorded it. I...

Hello, I know this is an old thread to revive, but it is very rare to find this point of view in this field of Audio NonSense.   I came down this route and learned my lessons the expensive way.   I started with passive speakers, consumer, so very expensive with all the bells and whitles...

The song is clipping even on another headphone than my X2.   So the real question is, how can a song, on multiple albums, with multiple formats, on different platforms (i put it on my phone to listen), clip at the same time ?   is it possible that the mixing studio guys messed up ?   cheers

Weird thing i noticed today.   I hear a sound clipping on the dire straits flac song at the 12 seconds mark. if you want to listen to it : http://dl.free.fr/kXxc8DqVy   I tried downloading different samples from different albums, and hearing it on multiple devices, same thing, same...

Yes !!! I think it's because the headphone creates a depression in the air of some sort... weird

Ok, great.   Now, Is it normal that when I use it, I get some ear problems ? Like I feel my ears are getting blocked or something...   Maybe it's because of the depression the bass creates ?   All in all, great headphone

good idea,   here you go   http://mir.cr/175RGJTW

Hey guys,   I just bought the Philips Fidelio X2. Great product.   I have two questions thought...   Some of my flac collections have little cracks in them that I cannot hear on the other headphones. Could this be from the X2 or do they come from the track ? On other noisy tracks with a...

I got the X2 !!!!!!!!!!

  The K551 is not on the list my dear friend. I removed it because of the lack of bass,   I need help with these three

  It is here, I called, it's available   http://www.magma.fr/casque/casques/casques-filaires/casque-philips-fidelio-x2-idp_15972_21802-

Ok, after a LOT of searching, and learning, I got my choices down to three contestants.   I like light, airy trebbles, clear voices, pronounced mediums, and present bass. I hate muddy bass that muffles the rest of the sound. I like a medium/big soundstage, but not to the extent of loosing...

Thanks for your response.   So it's down to three of them...   Fidelio X1 Focal Spirit Pro or Classic NAD Viso HP50   And also the question, X1 or X2 ??? :) haha   Well you told me that sound leakage is not a problem. I'll be watching movies full blast at night, and my wife sleeping in...

  Thank you for your suggestions. The X1 is very interesting to me, I might follow you advice and buy it.   I don't like the senheiser "viel" and would love a bassy response along with a nice soundstage.   what do you think of my choices one post up ?

Thank you all for your replies.   So, Even it the most leakage from an open back headphone, I could still listen to the TV without borhering the rest of the people around me ?   So, I think I've rounded it up to three or four sets.   Fidelio X1 ATH-M50x Q701 Focal Spirit Pro or Classic...

I have a sound blaster zxr, able to drive headphones up to 600 ohm.   Will an open back headphone's sound be affected by where I sit or by how the room is ? If my wife is sleeping one room apart with rather thing walls, will she be able to hear the sounds coming out from it ?

I hear a lot of people talking about sound description and sound signatures.   But in all those descriptions I sometimes fail to see how the sound will look like.   I am looking for a pair of headphones with a budget of around 300 to 400 dollars.   Wired to a very good amp. So impedance is...

  First of all, thanks for your answer.   My main setup will be 2.0 stereo active monitor speakers. So yes, it will be for 2.0 only. All analogue from the soundcard.   Can't the sound be decoded with software before getting sent to the speakers ? That's why i love XBMC, it decodes...

Hey guys, long time lurker. First time poster.   I am considering buying the Essence STX or the ZxR.   I will be using the headphones and audio out of course, but also, I have a external TV BOX called a freebox. It has optical out, and I want to be able to put the sound through the card and...
