Whew. It took me a few days, but I finished reading all 72 pages of this thread. Thanks to all who contributed.   I'll soon be adding the Magni and Modi to my setup, and hooking up my DT990 250ohms to them. This will be my first amp and DAC so I'm super excited. I"ll post impressions once I...

This was my first serious headphone purchase after mainly buying IEMs. I still find the DT990 to be bright, and have more bass than I would have liked. I only had the opportunity to listen to the DT770 and DT990 before buying the DT990, as I would have liked to listen to the DT880. So I've been...

I wanted to pass this on to you guys. It's an article on DACs from the New York Times that was just published by Roy Furchgott titled "A Sound System as Resonant as a Concert Hall". Any thoughts?

Quote:   Thanks Steve. As much as I would love to buy the ER4, my wallet is telling me otherwise. I'm now considering the HF5 as I can get it for under $100.   I'm use to the UE SF5 Pro sound signature so I think the HF5 is a inexpensive way to familiarize myself with the Etymotic...

I'm seriously considering buying the ER4. Any suggestions on where I can buy the ER4 for a good price? I can't find it for less than $300. They would have to ship to Canada as well.

Can anyone proxy a HD600 for me and ship it to Canada? Please PM me and we can work out a deal. But first I still need to see what the Lighting Deal price is.   Parcel forwarding just seems expensive and I haven't set up one yet. Thanks!

Budget = Under $500 Here's my listening preference: Hip-Hop = 50% The rest* = 50% *includes in order Electronic,Pop,Rock,Orchestra (film soundtracks) My current source is my Zune HD and my computer. I will eventually buy an AMP and DAC so if you recommend a headphone that needs to be...

I agree with what everyone has said so far. UESF5's have a strong plastic smell and the tray that it comes with is different from the one that you have. Everything else looks fine so I think it's different packaging, and possibly a mistake on the tray. It would be best to get an opinion of...

Sounds like a great idea. I know redflagdeals.com has Canadian deals for pretty much anything.

Hi guys, After lurking around the forums for the longest while, I have my sights set on buying the Ultimate Ears Super Fi 5's. I'm just wondering if anyone knows the cheapest place to purchase them online that will ship to Canada. I went to a few sites that sponsor head-fi who sell them for...

I also saw this on Jaben and I'm curious as to how it works. Though it'll add weight to your portable rig.

Good job, it definitely makes it easier for someone who is buying headphones based on their budget. 2 things I would like to mention: Maybe you could sort each category by price. It just follows better as opposed to no ranking for each category. Or maybe rank each headphone by which one is...

Something related to this topic. Is there anyway to figure out the dB level that my headphone is producing? Also initially I was worried that IEM's can damage my hearing but I believe what most people have already stated, that since IEM's isolate outside noise, you can play your music at a...

Hi guys, it took my a while to read all 42 pages but it was worth it considering the wealth of information. Anyways, I just wanted to say that I was very interested in purchasing the X3's until I read about the poor build quality and left driver issue. I can't remember how many of you guys...
