Hello :)    I intend to buy myself a pair of Sennheiser IE 80s. I am thinking of using them with both my computer( via a NuForce DAC/AMP ) and my phone - currently the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. My question is this - whether my phone is going to have any problem powering those... If anyone has...

Of course, absolutely! Started listening to those guys when they were still in their pre-debut album phase. The first album is great! Normally vocals in djent are almost always a HUGE mistake, but Vildhjarta are an exception to that.

What the title says. My closest friend and I are very much into this specific type of Metal. It pretty much emerged over the past few years, and has been developing steadily ever since.     One of my favorite pieces off the new album of Shades of Black. Lovely djenty groove all around!  ...

Attaboy! I was gonna suggest the HD650s too, great to know you got them and you're enjoying them!

Pretty simple. If you're into music more than into games, I'd recommend something like the Asus Xonar Essence line ( ST and STX, not a fan of external DACs ). That's kind of the perfect middle ground - you got both Dolby surround and superb quality audio.

Got a question about the Isabellina. Had a hard time time locating the answer, so I shall ask anyways:   Does it have software drivers to go with it, or does it work straight out of the box, hooked up to the PC? Also, does it support ASIO/WASAPI?

I saw somebody recommending a Zana Deux in another thread. Hadn't even heard about it, but the person was very enthusiastic about it. Perhaps you should research that one.

Not my type of aesthetic, and if they do have any audible layer of hiss at all, that's enough to throw them in the bin for me, at least. Plus, I doubt they are comfier than HD800.

What's the point of having great phones if you're not gonna use them? Why would you limit yourself to music only? As long as you got the appropriate setup, go for movies, go for games, if you're into them - the sky's the limit.   I actually enjoy listening to music WHILE playing games, or...

I think loving certain headphones is heavily based on how your life has been when you've been really into them. Pretty much the best years of my life so far have walked around hand in hand with the HD650, so I will never really forget 'em, even though I got HD800 now. The emotional imprint is...

Well, a DAC's always great to have, no matter how crappy your source might be. All boils down to what your own standards are.   Try listening to the same piece on Spotify and to its FLAC version and hear it for yourself.

Not really an impression, as I've never had the chance to try them, but I got a question:   Are they really that power-hungry and tough to drive properly? Would be good to know if I happen to decide to switch sometime in the future.

Absolutely, 190 %. What matters the most is the hardware, a.k.a. the phones and chain leading to them. As someone before me said, very little, if anything audible, is lost in the transition from lossless to 320 kbps. Trust me, you'll be in sonic heaven with even less than 320 kbps, if the...

Muses stock opamps? Sounds sweet. I wonder when it's coming out...   Asus seem to be following up on the success of the Essence One...

I used to have HD650 a few years ago. Would you say they synergize with the MKIII better than the HD800? Would love to test it out first prior to purchase, but I am half the planet away from those ALO guys...

O_o.....   This is just ridiculous. Especially the first comment on Amazon:   "I was going to buy a $2.82 hdmi cable on amazon and then I came across this masterpiece, and I knew I had to do whatever it takes to get it. The best part is I dont even own a tv, I plugged this thing into 2...

That sounds pretty bad. Can't imagine how annoying that might be, mate.   I got mine a month and a half ago and the stock cable does seem rather flimsy, around the interconnects. Guess aftermarket cables are what you'd have to go for, since I doubt you can fix the wiring yourself.  ...

I'd love to be able to check out the Orpheus and the Stax someday. Not that far ahead, regrettably, just yet, and here in Bulgaria we hardly even have a place where I can have a listen to those.   Heck, I don't even think someone has them, though I could be wrong. Planning on spending a couple...

When I bought my HD800s in the beginning of February, all my friends were like "Are you out of your mind, I'd never drop that much cash on ******* headphones". Most of them were more like, shocked, rather than impressed ( not that I bought the phones to impress anyone, we all know it's not about...
