    Cheapest Amp to Drive HD600

    So many expensive options, I use a $50 cmoy amp that works fine with em. For 200 you can get one of many types of amp/DAC combos. Hell even something cheap like a Behringer UCA202 will do fine with them as well.

    Stereo balance issue with brand new Fidelio X2s

    I have had the same problem, think mine are beyong their return period though. I have found kind of a weird fix though, take off the pads and see if they are aligned right. Also moving the headphone around on the ears can affect your perception of left and right balance.

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    I own the X2 and the HD600, I would recommend against the X2 for mixing purposes because it isn't really a neutral headphone, plus the slightly recessed midrange masks a some midrange details that you would hear on something like the HD600.

    The Sennheiser HD518, it just needs to gain some weight

    About how many grams for each cup?

    Sennheisers HD 518 not exciting. Do I need an amp? Need advice.

    Headphonia did a piece on a few different superlux offerings in case you are interested, which do cover a wide variety of different sounds. With a budget like $250 it might be better to buy two $100 headphones rather than one $250 pair so that you can figure out what you like. You might want to...

    Upgrading from Sennheiser HD 360 Pro to Sennheiser HD 518

    I bought the HD518 for $50USD would reccomend the FA003 clones from jaycar over it any day of the week. It does have it's appeal when you get used to it's signature though. Gonna buy the superlux 668B later and compare.

    Used the Sennheiser HD518 - recommend me a different headphone

    Jaycar's FA-003 clones can be had for $70USD shipped from australia, while their sound stage isn't huge they are definitely much clearer and cleaner than the HD518. They are a more neural headphone, and definitely would be a good contrast to your HD518, as they have tight focused bass, clear...

    Unleash the full potential of your Brainwavz HM5 or FA-003 with mods

    Has anyone tried using an Etymotic ER4p to ER4s resistor adapter with the HM5/Fa-003? I've tried it with my jaycar clones, that I can tell the frequency response is a bit more flat and the sound sounds colder, I prefer the sound without it. I was wondering if anyone with a better set up and more...

    What made you join Head-Fi.org?

    My ER-6i IEMs(that a friend gave me) died and after a few failed reccomendations I went to amazon, where another IEM review directed me here. My wallet has really never fully recovered.
