Quote:   Believe me when I say low-budget's best option is Superlux 668b. Senn HD202 are really low budget (the lowest indeed) from Senn, and while I haven't tried them, I do have Sennheiser RS180 and Sennheiser IE8, which cost ten times as much as the HD202 and having them better...

I have to thank you guys for recommending me the Superlux 668B, they outperform my Senn IE8 (which is amazing, as they cost me 170€ 2 years ago, while the Superlux's cost 27) in clarity, which is what I was searching for. They don't lack bass at all as I've read, at least not for me (I'd say...

Ok, thanks guys. I've already ordered as I said both Superlux 668b and 661 (normal), as well as the ear pads from AKG at thomann. Also ordered the Xonar D1 at a local store. I'll be telling my impressions asap. I saved a lot of money! Sorry for your wallet isn't the motto here nowadays, is it? :P

So should I go Asus Xonar D1 or stick to Realtek HD892? Would there be an improvement? I'm almost decided to buy an Asus D1 just for the Dolby Headphone, which I want to at least try for games and movies (at 40€ it's quite inexpensive so...).   Also, my mobo comes with THX TruStudio Pro...

Quote:   And that's exactly what I did, I ordered one 681 and a 668b. I've heard good things about both, some people prefer one, some people prefer the other, I guess I'll like both. For what I've read the 668b is more balanced which will be perfect for my soft rock music and also some...

Well as I already said, I can get an Asus Essence ST or even a Nuforce uDac2. Whichever is most recommended.   Are the Superlux really that good? I've never trusted <25 € headphones, but what I've read well...they look good (though some people say they are not that good). It really is hard...

Editing as well then.   Nope, I haven't read it. Looking for the post right now. Thanks for that first piece of advice (I'll be back, for sure).

Hi there, I'm a newbie here (or almost, posted here a while ago), and I'm asking for your help (who doesn't?).   I'm having a hard time deciding on which headphones to buy. The ones I'm considering are:   Sennheiser HD 558/598 AKG K601/K701 Beyerdynamic DT 770   I'm from the far...

This thread can be erased as I hadn't seen the "official" post for noobs looking for cans. Sorry for any inconvinience.  

Hi there. A foreigner noob here :P . Well I need a bit of advice on how to improve my current setup. I've got an iPhone 4/iPad as players and Sennheiser IE8 phones, but I can notice IE8 aren't on their best (even using EQu). I'm wondering if it would be better to improve my current rig by adding...
