Buying a low latency bluetooth transmitter with aptx adaptive to send low latency bluetooth audio to some wireless iems, but I need to figure out which iems would sound the best for movie watching? Some combination of clear vocals, decent base for explosions as they may arise, good sound...

Right now I'm using optical to my fiio dac from my lg cx TV for audio. It's my pc and media source amd I use headphones for all audio. My current everything headphones are the focal clears. Problem, I can't currently take advantage of Any of the surround sound options while streaming on...

I posted another thread about potentially geting the audeze mobius for general purpose gaming and movies and music, but after diving deeper those don't seem like they match the sound quality of so many other things. So I am back to square one. I got sucked into an HD 660s vortex, and then...

https://www.amazon.com/AKG-Signature-Reference-Class-Premium-Headphones/dp/B004444O3W I've had those for years, the earpads wore out and I had to order an overpriced replacement pair from ebay as that was all that sold them. They still work, but I got those so long ago I figure there MUST be...

This was mostly about IEMs where often times people in China would get the same drivers from the factories that sell to established brands and put their own casing on. But it made me wonder... Is there some equivalent with full size headphones? Is there a Chinese headphone that rivals the...

Do we have HD800 quality sound there yet for a fraction of the price from some off brand? I'm still using some ancient ATH Q701 headphones I picked up around 5 years ago, I replaced the cable and earpads and they still work fine... but I wanted to know if anything was noticeably better than...

The ossic x   https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/248983394/ossic-x-the-first-3d-audio-headphones-calibrated-t/description   and the kannon   https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2053327139/kannon-headphones-accurate-bass-you-can-feel/description       It sounds like these would be...

It's been YEARS since I've looked into this and done some research, I'll dive in deeper later on, but as a jumping off point I wanted to hear what the state of the state was in the iem world?     I've only used two iems long term so far, the klipsch s4s (ultra comfortable and fit like a glove...

I ordered some dt880s, but the online store was out of stock so I cancelled and am trying to look around a bit more.  I've narrowed it down to two contenders now.    ...

These are going to be my jack of all trades headphones for my computer where I do everything from listen to music and play games to watch tv and movies, along with podcasts and the like.  The 770s served me well, they were slightly quite since my xonar dx soundcard did not have a dedicated...

I picked those up from guitar center sometime in 08, and I have been enjoying them a great deal, but a couple days ago, the right earcup suddenly went out.  There is no sound going to it, I had the headphones on when it happened, there was no rattling, it was more of a sense that some connection...

I see a lot of headphone amp/dac combos, but I intend to use this mainly on my desktop and I already have a dedicated sound card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132006 The line out from that is supposed to be higher quality already, so wouldn't spending money on a dac...

Just got my pair today, and running them directly out of my soundcard jack. Newegg.com - ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 Channels PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card - Sound Cards Intend to use these for my all purpose computer headphones. They sound fantastic from my soundcard source, so there is...

/title LA is a big place so one would think there are places you could actually go into and hear different headphones. Am I delusional?

I noticed that both of these headphones are listed on amazon for ~110 dollars and I was wondering what the difference in quality was? Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Audio Technica ATH-PRO700 SV Professional Monitor Headphones Amazon.com: Closed-back dynamic audiophile headphones, 53 mm...

Did not get any extra tips, but the ones provided work fine for me. Will replace when needed. But it sounds great to me. And this is pre burn in. Now I need higher quality music files. Only have 2 flac files, and both are Queen songs... (I know) Anyway, they definitely have better...

So far I only have one track I know of that I think might highlight something good and different when my denons arrive. An old big band track called four of a kind by stan kenton. Lots of instruments, and solos to see how the headphone/speakers handle the sound. my old Altec Lansing...

3-5 days till they arrive. I WANT THEM NOW !!!!!!!!!! I am using buds that cost 9 dollars at Walgreens. I am suffering in darkness and despair, suffering in a vacuum of quality ever since my Altec Lansing MX 5021 speakers died. I am standing on the edge of the audio abyss, let the ups...

Guys, lets face it, the absolute best way to get a thorough take on the entire field of ear buds is to have ONE guy, using multiple types of music and sources, testing as much as possible. There are alot of good reviews, but they are invariably piecemeal. The better ones have a larger...

Title, I am leaning toward the denon AH751s but out of curiosity, any heads up on what portable players have better output? I am not going to lug around an amp, at least not yet, so which standard portable player has the better sound output quality?

Not so much of a twist, but I am particularly interested in people who have tried MULTIPLE products in this category. I have heard great things about the sennheiser cx95s as well as the Denon AH551s I liked the fact that both of these were reported to have decent bass compared to many...
