    Need Assistance Regarding Driver Flex

    So I recently figured out that every dynamic driver earphone I've used has given me driver flex, and it's come to a point where earphones are pretty much unusable. A couple months ago, I acquired a pair of Creative Aurvana 3's, a dual balanced armature, and received absolutely no driver flex...

    Lets Talk Metal

      Just finished this one up. Best way I can describe it is Atmospheric/Post Grindcore, and it's incredible. Definitely give it a chance if Grindcore isn't usually your thing.

    Lets Talk Metal

      Anyone who hasn't listened to this should really get on it. Tied for my metal AOTY along with Ulcerate's Vermis.

    Q701 impressions thread

    Thanks for the response. I'm going to see if I can audition a modded Q701 with the previously mentioned amps, as while I don't own the Q701, I know someone who would probably be interested in modding it (the only thing he complains about is the bass response), to see what each sounds like. It'll...

    Q701 impressions thread

    Thanks, I have preferred tube amps to solid states for the ones I've tried for the most part, although I'm open to either.   Does the E18 drive the Q701's well? A transportable option would always be interesting.

    Q701 impressions thread

    Interesting, thanks. Do you think a solid state (Magni&Modi) or tube (Aune T1,Hifiman EF-2, etc) would be better with the mod? I tried it on an original Schiit Asgard, Magni, Aune T1, Hifiman EF-2, Fiio E12, and a JDS Labs Objective 2, and liked the sound of the T1 the best, though I fear it's...

    Q701 impressions thread

    Hey, I've got a quick question on the Q701's. Does this bassport mod just add a bit of midbass to the sound, or help with extension/impact as well? I heard a properly amped unmodded Q701 and loved it for it's mids and highs, excellent for the music I listen to most (Live rock/prog rock/post rock...

    The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread

    Interesting, thanks. By a clean amp, do you think a solid state would be better? I know tube amps tend to color sound a bit, especially the budget/mid-fi ones.

    The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread

      How does the W1000X's treble compare to the DT880's? I really enjoyed the sound sig of the DT880's when I listened to them, especially in the upper regions, but for isolation purposes open/semi open headphones don't really work for me.

    AKG new headphone K545?

    Didn't AKG do the same thing with the K550's?   EDIT: Actually, I think it was with the K551's.

    Open HP recommendations please . $4-500 range, Good Bass Slam , Not Dark (anti-HD650)

    The DT880's are more neutral where the the DT990's have a more V-shaped sound signature.

    Open HP recommendations please . $4-500 range, Good Bass Slam , Not Dark (anti-HD650)

    The x1's sounded a bit dark to me when I tried them, so I don't think those would do you good. If you have an amp/DAC I'd say the DT990/600. I haven't heard the D5000's, but the D2000's sounded similiar to the 990's with a heavy but detailed bass response, slightly recessed mids, and a north of...

    V Moda M80 or LP2??

    No problem, V-moda also sells larger ear pads for the M100's if they don't fit you correctly.

    V Moda M80 or LP2??

    For pop/kpop the M100's will sound much more exciting, with a bigger and harder hitting bass response,  and if you have smaller ears, probably more comfortable.    I personally preferred the M80's when I had both, but for Pop the M100's would be a better choice IMO.
