Good morning Head-fiers,   Next month, I'm going to NY and I'll buy my first hi-fi cups, but I'm having trouble choosing the best pair for my taste.   One of the main reasons is that I don't have the headphones on hand to test, so I will have to base on some feedback from you head-fiers =P...

So I just bought a Fidelio X1 by Philips, and I'm going to use a V-MODA audio cable instead of the stock cable that comes with the headpohnes (it's apparently not very good). What I'm wondering is if using an extension cable to reach the back of my PC will cause any problems? The cable only is...

I've been listening to the Beyer's for a while now, but recently the Philips Fidelio X1 has caught my eye. They were recommended in another thread, and I'm curious to try an open back headphone, because I never have before.   However, $230 is kind of steep. If the sound signature or sound...

i currently own Fiio E17 but i want to upgrade to something better,     i currently use Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 and have ordered Philips Fidelio X1 which is yet to be shipped.     I looked at different AMP/DAC such as Audioquest Dragonfly, HRT Microstreamer and Audioengine D3,    ...

hej guys! I have dicided to go for one of these headphones. Unfortunately I could not listen to the fidelio x1  i am mainly listening to rock, metal, pop and dance music. So you can say that i like warm music with nice mids and a pleasant bass that expands into sub bass territory. I also dont...

Hey guys,   So I just purchased the Fidelio's (pretty stoked!) but I need some advice on which amp/dac combo to get. Headfonia stated that the ALO Pan Am sounded the best with these cans out of their tests, but I'm not sure I want to spend that much just yet. In fact, I'm not even sure where I...

Hello,   I have the Denon d2000 since 2011, using it with a fiio e17. This phone has always served me very well, my use is to play games and hear music.   I was reading some review on the Fidelio X1 and I was very interested in the project, I am quite inclined to buy one. The problem is...

I have to start wearing glasses and right now I have the Mad Dogs and they aren't comfy with my glasses at all what so ever.   Can anyone recommend me some headphones that would be very comfortable with glasses? My glasses are thin they are Rayban new wayfayers   Looking for open-full size...

I'm going to post this in "Computer Audio" as it seems like the correct spot for it, I apologize if I'm mistaken.   I currently have my PC hooked up via HDMI to a Yamaha RX-V373 5.1 receiver from my 2nd ATi HD6950 (crossfire setup) video card. I switch to the HDMI when I want to use my...

After 3 days of debate apron headphones I've decided apon the dt770s (for now) and I need to find a good portable amp for it. I would also be able to like to use it for my computer as well. Currently I'm looking at the cmoybb and the E07k what are the thoughts of the pros over here? Thanks to...

hello there ! i'm writing from Moscow , so sorry for my English ) yesterday I purchased w40 , it sounds great but I still got a question about the source thats better for obtaining the full experience. at the moment i'm using iphone 4 + google play full access subscription, for me its a...

how does the TripleFi 10 compare to the likes of DT 880 PRO 250 ohms or Philips Fidelo X1?   is the sound quality much better?     i am also looking for any suggestion under $300     i currently use Fiio E17 as USB DAC/AMP but i might also upgrade to Audioquest DragonFly or something...

I've been really tempted with These cans for a while now but was unable to find anywhere to demo them..... The fidelio is currently discounted on amazon at £188 and I think I'm almost ready to roll the dice on them! Strictly based on sound quality and comfort, how would the Phillips fidelio x1...

Hello,     I am looking for new headphones but don't know which to buy.   I will be using it mainly for gaming but also want to listen a decent amount of music with it. Currently I own the sennheiser momentum which aren't bad but not too great when you're wearing them too long. I have a...

I got this headphone for $250 on amazon. I think it is easily worth 2-3 times the price. I like this headphone as much as the Hifiman HE-500 which is $700. The X1 is as beautiful in person as it is in pictures. It has a solid quality feel to it. I’m powering the X1 with the Schiit Magni. I think...

Hello, this is my first post (and to be honest, I'm not sure if this is the right section, I wasn't sure if the banner for recommendations and whatnot was the right place to ask this, so bear with me please) and I'd like to ask a question about these headphones, or maybe other in this price...

Hi, I own a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 80 ohm and I would like to upgrade to open headohones because people says that they sound better. My budget is $250. Any recomendations?

I have recently build a new PC and have bought a dedicated sound (Asus Xonar DX), however after doing some reading and watching the following youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1rXcJuEsy0 - Gaming Audio Myths: Avoid The BS & Save Your Audio Life), is there any point to having a...

I've been using the M50's for a while and they just don't sound good enough. I realize I'm not going to get the best sound from my iPod and I'm ready to take the step into something better. I just don't know where to start. I know everything about headphones,I just am unsure about amps,how to...

Okay, so I just picked up a whole lot of headphones to test.  I purchased the AKG Q701, Fidelio X1, Sennhesier HD650, and finally the Hifiman HE-400 (which I'll receive on Monday).   I've tested all 3 that I currently have on me now, and to me, I much prefer the Q701's huge open sound...

Yeah, best title. Hi, everyone. I'm contemplating between those in the title.   DAC\Amp: This will be my first DAC\Amp. I've read good things about both. I'm leaning towards the Aune T1 because of the modularity of the tubes and the fact that I can just upgrade the Amp in the future and still...

I have a JDS Labs O2+ODAC I'm currently selling, in the meantime I am using a Fiio E07K this a friends but he wants it back so I am looking for a new solution to my needs, been looking around for a few hours and cant seem to find a solution to my needs so I was hoping maybe someone here can give...

Hi guys. I now have a pair of AD700's that I used to power with a Auzentech X-Fi Forte card but I'm now looking at a Creative Titanium HD since it broke down.. But I'm also looking for a new pair of headphones that still will work great for gaming but are a little more fun to listen to for...

Amazon gives 3 options. Buy from them or two other sites. The amazon price is $299. I thought there was always a reseller involved. But the option just says buy from Amazon. The price at the other sites is $399 and even $499.   If it were Best Buy, I wouldn't bother with this thread. But. Best...

I have to admit to being a Philips fanboy. I just got the Fidelio X1 and am very impressed.   I have also got several pairs of HP890 had 1 pair of HP910's but they broke and also had HP1000 which also broke. Got the SHL9550 which is also a great headphone imo and the SHE9850 IEM is good too...
