Hello Head-Fi, I'm sure you guys get a million threads like this every day, but I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for a proper audio setup.   My focuses are 60% fps gaming, 30% movies, and 10% music.  I've been using Astro A50's for a few years now, and after...

I'm still very new to all this. Only just recently have I ordered some different nice mid fi stuff. Title says most of it. I will have a DAC/AMP like the e17k which I do not know if it will be more than sufficient or if a seperate amp would be a better experience. Regardless, I need an amp to...

So im going to be purchasing a new setup. Ive always been an in ear monitor guy but could never find one that i "Loved" ive read alot of reviews between each of these headphones and it seem everyone loves all three.

Hey guys, I love how comfy my Sennheiser HD598 is and I've had the HD595 previously with the foam removal mod but I feel like I'm missing bass with these headphones. Reason why I haven't got a Grado is because I hear they are uncomfortable and I'm really picky about the comfort of my headsets...

I've been looking into buying new closed cans now, but apparently the signature I'm looking for only comes from open cans. Only things I found that can compete is a Mad Dog or Shure SRH1540. Mad Dog needing a powerful amp and dac, both are ~600.   My budget is ~300, I can increase the price to...

I have had my HD650's for a while now (about 3 months or more) and they sound great coming straight out of my motherboard which is advertised with a 600 ohm amp; here is my motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K23BYCI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1   I just got the...

Hey guys! Sooo the title is pretty much self-explanatory, I would like to upgrade part of my current setup, respectively my Asus Xonar Essence STU and I kind of need help with that. I've looked around the web for some equipment, but it generally comes down to either being quite a bit out...

Hello everyone, I've been in a hunt for around two months to buy a new headphones and still can't make up my mind between open back and closed back headphones. I mostly listen heavy metal genres like slipknot, swallow the sun, as I lay dying, type o negative, nine inch nails and so many other...

Hi, I recently purchased a pair of Philips Fidelio X2 off Amazon recently, and love them. I have also been reading alot of reviews on the Shure SRH 1540 headphones lately, and they seem very interesting, and have received very positive reviews. I am just curious on whether anyone out there owns...

Hi All, brand new member here. I have done a lot of research on here for a good sound solution for Xbox One and really liked the forums, so figured I would join.  Guess I'll start with what I currently use - Turtle Beach X12's with DSS2. Just got Astro A40's with MixAmp as a gift but haven't...

Im looking for a good sound card to drive the Fidelio X2, with my sound card was totally crap. Its only 30ohm but i think its not so easy to drive.

I am considering to get either Sony MDR-Z7 or Philips X2/27 Fidelio Headphones.  If you have tried both pairs, which one do you prefer, and why?

I am starting this thread to collect more information on the ENIGMAcoustics Dharma, announced at the 2015 CES.  I cannot seem to find any other information than short exultations, like this one by Tyll of Innerfidelity :   "Now, did anyone else hear the Enigma Acoustics Darma headphone? No...

I have a Beyer DT990 Pro/250 headphone.  Will a Phillips Fidelio X2 enhance my situation?

Hi everyone, I currently have the ATH-M40X and they're great, But they really lack space and air. I will use them outdoors because the great isolation, And i thought about maybe buyng cans for home use. What would you recommend? I will get the DX90 soon btw

I'm thinking of trying a good pair of Desktop Speakers or Monitors - to try and get the HE-400i sound (Warm tilting, neutral-ish with some sparkle) but with a much wider soundstage. I figure the best way to do that is with desktop monitors/speakers.    Seems like Audioengine A5+ is the goto...

Hey guys,   I just bought the Philips Fidelio X2. Great product.   I have two questions thought...   Some of my flac collections have little cracks in them that I cannot hear on the other headphones. Could this be from the X2 or do they come from the track ? On other noisy tracks with a...

The photo below should explain what I mean: As you can see, the X2 looks different from the X1 (now clad in all black), and is priced about four times as much as the X1 (about $1300 USD). Clicking on the link will just redirect you to the X1 page, so apparently the X2 is yet to be released...
