Are there any Chinese brands that produce products similar to E-MU Teaks or ZMF Eikons?

Wow that looks extremely similar, I thought 5XX would have a much stronger bass and sub-bass, but from the looks of it it's actually even lower.

Does this mean that the HE-5XX would have all the pros and cons of the wired Deva?

Since the X2HR is just a boomy, not that resolving headphone. I think I'll stick with my Porta Pros to fill that niche in my lineup. Thanks guys

How well do these respond to EQ? I have a pair of HD 6XX’s on the way, and I’d like to round out my lineup with a pair of stronger, more energetic headphones. Possibly by upping the bass and sub-bass on the 5XX

How does the X2HR hold up today? I’m considering getting a pair of bassy cans to complement my new HD 6XX’s but I was thinking of getting a closed backed headphone like the Meze 99 Noir or the Beyerdynamic 880

How about the JDS Labs Atom? It should be plenty powerful enough for the HD6XX

Just an FYI. For anyone experiencing rattlegate please make sure to contact Apple through message or by phone or by going into an Apple store, they will most likely replace it no problem. Also, if you have any older Airpods Pro they may eventually develop the rattle. I visited the Apple store...

Hi guys, Just an update. Thank you so much for the advice. I’ve decided to invest in both a good amp and dac, as well as get the HD 6XX as my first dive into the world of true hi-fi. I’ll be getting some Yaxi Pads for my Porta Pros as well and will be comparing it to the HD 6XX on my new JDS...

Holy cow, that sounds amazing. I've actually been thinking about this a lot as well. I keep trying to get the best and easiest method of getting to "endgame." Where I'm trying to get the best headphones ever with booming bass and angelic clear highs with no sibilance yet have a wide soundstage...

Oh dang, I was really hoping to power a pair of HD 6XXs with the element. Will it really not be powerful enough for it?

I'm thinking of getting the JDS Labs Element because I see it is extremely clean as an AMP and is a competent DAC, and I'll be bringing this with me out of the US--so I'd prefer to just have 1 power cord to power everything as I'd need to buy a 220V power brick. I also saw it can output up to...

Hi, I have an opportunity to buy one for a good deal. How good is it compared to a Schiit Modi/Magni stack? Or compared to the Drop O2+SDAC?

After seeing your recommendation for the Philips X2HR, I think I'm gonna get a pair! I've gotten the same recommendation in the past. My total budget is around $300. I was thinking of getting a DAC+AMP combo like the JDS Labs Element or the Massdrop O2+SDAC, is there a downside to getting a...

Hello friends! After living for years and years with only IEMs (due to the massive price of good headphones), I finally bought a pair of "pretty good" headphones -- the Koss Porta Pros. These tiny cans have changed my life. For the first time, I could actually understand what soundstage, BASS...

Hi everyone! I'm Hackasaures, or /u/Hacksaures on reddit. I'm a huge gearhead. I love photography (both analog and digital), writing, and audio. It's nice to finally join a new community! I've been struggling with meeting new people during this pandemic, and finding a new huge community has...

It is very balanced. But sometimes its more fun to listen to something with a little more oomph, like with my Porta Pros.

I just got my Airpods Pro a few weeks ago, and so far they've been excellent. I love how clear the highs are, however I wish there was more bass.
