I am looking for a new pair of high end headphone. Previously, I have owned and tried the AKG K701, AKG K812, Beyerdynamic T1, and Audio Technica AD2000X. While I enjoyed all of them, the problem is that I listen to a lot of badly recorded/mastered music. To make things worse, I am very...

I recently got one of my CIEM reshelled, but after the reshell I just can't seem to detach the cable. The cable is Unique Melody style 2 Pin connector like this one:   http://www.uniquemelody.co.uk/new/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/50inchcable.jpg   I tried pulling the cable as hard as I can...

So, this is pretty embarrassing and strange but I will say it anyways. I love bright treble and high frequency sound. Even when I use bright headphones or earphones, such as AKG K812, Sony EX1000, or Hidition New Tears 6, I increase the treble with EQ. Crazy stuff, but it gets even more crazier...

I am looking for the very best IEM in the market for female vocals. My budget is unlimited, but I am looking to spend around $1,500-$3,000 USD. Here is my sound preference:   1. I want very little bass, just to the point where I can feel it  2. I want the female voice to be forward 3. I want...

I have been driving my Beyerdynamic T1, AKG K701, and several mid to high-fi IEMs with my Fiio E17 only. I am starting to feel that now is the right time to actually get a desktop amp/DAC. So far, I am thinking of Schiit Magni+Modi combo or Schiit Valhalla+Modi. I have heard many good reviews of...

I am planning to get my first full sized, open back headphone. Previously, I have used Sony MDR 7550 and Sony MDR 1R. Though I still love them, I would like an upgrade.   My Sound Preference: I listen to all kinds of music. Kpop, Jpop, Dubstep, Electronic, Music Box, Instrumentals, Piano...

I only listen to 320kbps MP3, and I am wondering how that is going to affect my listening experience with AKG K701. I am planning to buy K701 in the near future, but I heard that these are very revealing headphones. I do want to point out, on top of listening to lossy files, I listen to a lot of...

I have recently got into the world of audio, and I am thinking of buying myself a new pair of headphones. I am currently using Sony MDR 1R with Sony Walkman F806. I listen to a wide variety of genres, but mainly female vocals. AKG K701, MDR 7550, and XBA H3 all look very appealing to me, so I...
