Does anyone have a link (aliexpress is fine) where I can buy a BLACK Vivo XPlay 6?

Thanks. Well the schtick with the HP50 is that it follows the Harman target curve so it's very 'on point'. I like that. I know that it's maybe 60% of the quality of any other open pair that I own but a FR that is 'right' goes a long way for me. Especially when going closed. Btw, I don't prefer...

What did you think of the NAD Viso HP70? Differences between the ANC of it and the PSB? I heard the PSB M4U1 awhile back and for me it was a prime example of a headphone that although technically decent, failed almost all over the board. Plasticky, unnatural sound with artificial soundstage...

Use them for any broadcast of games/live shows (high quality format) and that 'SsS' will murder you in short, cutting bursts.   For music, it depends on what you're listening to. For some stuff it's bad, for others, like you said that artificial detail really works well (John Martyn, The Doors...

You people are beyond insane. The SHP9500 are sibilant. That is a huge flaw that puts them nowhere near any of the good 5xx Sennheiser's.   They might look good and have a decent build but let's slow down a bit, those artificial sibilant highs are not fooling anyone with a decent ear.

  They have dedicated hardware for audio needs. As far as I know, the Honor does not.   I wouldn't trust review sites in general re: audio in smartphones. There are a very few that know what they're talking about. In general this aspect of a smartphone has been the least researched topic ever...

They don't really change actually. And generally they're not really affected that much by burn in.   The sibilance is still there, the soundstage is the same and the best part is they really show themselves in time as being very sturdy. Great build.

Brainwavz HM5 vs. Audio Technica M40x's? How do they compare sonically and which do you prefer if you've heard them?   Not interested in build and comfort for this comparison.   Thanks.

  That's probably the 32GB version.   Has anyone bought this from AliExpress and shipped to Europe? How did it go?

Yeah, I'm gonna settle for the HD600 at some point I think. (had it borrowed to me for a bit and I was impressed). But until then I wanna have some fun.   Another quick q: Is 100$ for a used (but in very good condition) DT990 Premium 32ohm a good deal or nah?

  Aggressive treble is to me one of the downfalls of a lot of cans (Grado included). But the problem is, you need good treble for higher quality music so it's a trade off a lot of times.   I disagree with you a bit, the Grado's do sound great with 80's, 90's well recorded metal music for...

  Much appreciated.   If you've never heard the Phillips, it sounds like a budget Sennheiser HD600, with a lot of similar traits but with some (neglect-able actually) flaws. Definitely a vast improvement in the soundstage and separation department compared to the aforementioned. the SHP9500...

In need of some help with a comparison, guys.   How would you compare the Beyerdynamic Premium DT990 32Ohm against any of these: Phillips SHP9500, Grado Sr80e and Sennheiser 518.   What parts do they have in common? What's missing? Which set excels at what? etc...   Any opinions are...

I have the Xiaomi Mi Note. I doubt the regular Redmi Note can match the clarity and depth of the Mi Note, its main strengths.   But who knows, maybe the Note 3 is good enough with the onboard chip.

  Many thanks for the input.   How big is the difference for you? Percentage-wise? Any significant points worth mentioning about the sound signature?   I've read a lot of reviews and they seem to be overwhelmingly positive.
