I've been using a pair of Philips Fidelio X1's for awhile now. Still using the stock cable, but I do have a v-moda cable sitting on the shelf that's just waiting to be used. It's just a tad too short to reach the back-end of my PC, though. These headphones are mostly used for listening to music...

Hello guys, I'm looking to upgrade my current headphones and these three are the candidates.   What I love when listening to music is being able to follow individual instruments (specially the bass guitar) and being able to hear details, like the sound of cymbals (which sometimes are hidden...

Hey guys,     I am currently running a philips x1 with a creative z.   In total, I payd arround 260€ for both. I wanted to know, if there is a better setup for better audio quality. I am not looking to upgrade my headphones, more into upgrade the creative z.   Are there any sound card...

I´m looking to make some improvements in my equipment. i own an arcam rpac and the fidelio x1. My goal is to improve the source quality (which think is the weakest part), and replace the dac/amp with a better one. Any suggestions?

Hi Please help me to chose DAC for my Fidelio X1 Aune X1 MK2, Yulong U100 or you option I listened Matrix Rip, it played like my Realtek

Hi   I'm looking to venture into the world of over the ear headphones after using IEMs for quite a while. My music taste has varied quite a bit and I normally listen to things ranging from Kanye West to Zepplin to Daft Punk and It normally centers around rock/house/rap. I Will predominantly be...

Tyll mentioned that the impedance on the stock cable is too high for his liking - its the only fly in ointment for me as I absolutely adore these cans while my LCD2's sit idle in a drawer. With a detachable cable design using nothing more elaborate than a 3.5mm plug, it would seem to be an easy...

Which one of these is better for the following: Most Important Music (Electronic, Classical, Rap, Rock) Gaming(A lot of BF4 so hearing footsteps from different locations is important) Less Important Videos(Youtube videos, Twitch Streams, short movies) Music while traveling(this would be very...

I've had a few headphones, mostly driven by my UDAC 2, but have also played around with various Chinese amps, from the top of my head: AKG 700 - Great soundstage, but too lacking in bass. Denon D2000 - Overall great, but a bit cumbersome and not the best value for money. Sennheiser HD600 -...

Which headphone and what's your amp/digital train?

.

I just got the X1 and I like them, but not as much as I like the Denon D2000s they're (temporarily?) replacing ...   If you have heard BOTH the A900x and the X1---how do the two compare?   Which did you feel is superior and why?

I've now been reading review after review and comparison after comparison, but am still having trouble deciding on which choice to go for. I'm looking for a new set of headphones in the 200-300$ range (I live in Sweden though, so this is a rough estimate).   Currently, I've limited it down to...

Hello guys I am buying myself new set of headphones, mainly for PC use,gaming. Although I listen quite a lot to trance/chill music. I never had experience with those more quality headphones, I only used 30-40$ headphones till now. Since I found quite a good deal on D600, for 170$, I am...

There are so many head gears and so many different ways to put them together. On top of that everyone's tast is different. I am simply sharing my experience. Hope my experience can help some because I received great help while researching my gears. Not here to offend anybody. Just started...

So the HD 650 is being sold for $350 right now... my current collection includes the Shure SE535, Shure SRH-840, Philips Fidelio X1, and the Sennheiser Momentums. I've always wanted the 650's, but never had the opportunity to demo them. My question is, should I bother though? I mean from what...

I should preface this by saying I am not a seasoned audiophile, so bear with my naivety.  Also, I have yet to receive my Aune T1 amp, which is underway. So I will update this later. For now, however, I thought a few provisional results are interesting: I am using my ipod touch 4 and my...

Hello Head-Fi users,   I have a few question about a set-up that I was thinking of buying (excuse me if I have posted this in the wrong forum) that is the Phillips Fidelio X1 with the Magni and Modi DAC & AMP.   I have heard that these headphones are extremely good for overall audio quality...

Hello Head-Fi,   I was looking for some opinion on a set up that I was thinking of buying that is the Phillips Fidelio with a Magni and Modi DAC and AMP.   Anyone that has this exact set-up please any opinions - the X1 is currently being sold for roughly $230 on Amazon and was wondering if...

I've done some (overly) extensive research and still can't find an adequate answer. I'm looking for a fun, forgiving type headphone for everyday use. I've already used and sold the M50s in the past. The mids were annoyingly recessed and the bass had some body but was relatively tame and boring...

I've owned a pair of Sennheiser HD650s before which I liked very much with some boosting on the EQ around 80-160hz and 9-15khz, though they broke after 2 years and £250 is way too much for me to spend on replacing something I need.   I currently own a pair of Sony MDR-7506's which are the best...

Hi, All I was out from this hobby for some time and sold many gears on the way. Now I'm back and start this journey again ;) I recently bought Denon D600 because I missed my D7000 and hit myself on the head why did I get rid of D7000.. I was debating between either d600, X1 or he400 and I went...

I think the above equation "sums" up my question.   Regarding budget, I'm assuming improvements on the HD600 will require entering Summit Fi territory. The LCD3/HD800 are the most expensive headphones I'd consider buying.   Depending on which headphone comes closest to the sound signature I...

I have recently purchased the Philips Fidelio X1 as well as the V-MODA BoomPro Mic for PC gaming and Music listning with heavy bass. I was wondering if it'd be a good idea to pick up a new Astro A40 mixamp to use with it can get it for $90AUS or will my Creative...
