    Pro-Ject Hear It One ?

    @ Priest Earcups squeak a bit when you adjust them but once on your head it is fine. For durability Beocord mentioned a number of headphones that look just the same barring company logos and minor details so I fear these are indeed repackaged model of the same type. Perhaps reviews of these will...

    Pro-Ject Hear It One ?

    As Project Hear it one is rather unknown I decided to compare it with a popular Creative Aurvana Live.     Build quality   Project with its metal headband fells sturdier than plastic CAL,   Comfort CAL for me is circumaural and thus more comfortable allowing more air. With...

    Pro-Ject Hear It One ?

    I had a chance to listen to these on Audio show 2 weeks ago out of project small amp and my mp3 player. No problems with volume as it is low impedance. Please bear in mind it was a noisy environment.   These seem fairly neutral and detailed in a variety of genres - I tried some rock, pop and...

    Your first pair of real cans??

    Sennheiser PC350's vs other suggestions

    I am using PC360 - open version of Sennheiser headset. After 2 years volume control is buggy - if you fiddle with it sound disappears from one of the other side of headset. I just don't adjust it and all is well. While it can be remedied by opening it and just wiring it to bypass I am not so...

    Alienware m17x: Crackling in both internal speakers and headphones

    For Dell system bios update is like any driver - just go to download drivers part of Dell website, let it autodetect service tag or just type it yourself and from the list choose bios. If you already have the same version or newer you should get a message that update will not be done.

    Alienware m17x: Crackling in both internal speakers and headphones

    I would suggest updating BIOS first and then reinstalling drivers in safe mode.   After that please check if problem appears with music in various applications (windows media player, preferably foobar with wasapi to bypass windows mixer) playing and different media like audio cd, video, mp3...

    NAD M51 Direct Digital DAC Impressions

    1 How is the reliability record of NAD products as it comes only with 2 y warranty?   2 Also as it has HDMI input and output would you say it is better compared to USB when connecting to PC as a source?

    NAD M51 Direct Digital DAC Impressions

    Has anyone got a comparison with Vioelectric V800?   I wonder if it is worth going for NAD as  it is 50% more EUR.

    Recommendation for AMP/Dac combo for HD650 and in the future HD800

    I mention v200 as it is well regarded by many headfiers, pairs with many headphones and it is difficult to find bad reviews for it. Also 3y warranty is a big factor for me as well as it has tube character.   I am a bit scared by tubes themselves as they have to be warmed up and I would need...

    Recommendation for AMP/Dac combo for HD650 and in the future HD800

    Initially I just wanted an upgrade to pc360 but it seems it will be a costly one :) HD650 +nuforce icon hdp as a cheap and good setup was my first choice after a few weeks of reading. However after discovering more details about Hd800 technical specs really made me interested in it...

    Recommendation for AMP/Dac combo for HD650 and in the future HD800

    I'm mostly thinking about HD800 as they are supposed to be light and comfortable - I would use headphones 5-7 h a day.   As far as the music is concerned it is 40% classical (various symphonic composers) 40% Within Temptation, Tarja Turunen, Nightwish type of music and remainder various...

    Recommendation for AMP/Dac combo for HD650 and in the future HD800

At the time of creating topic I was not sure yet which one to go for but I know that upgrades will come sooner or later. ATM I leaning towards hd800 with amp + Odac and getting a...
