    Upgrade recommendations (from e9 and 7)

    I've had the fiio setup for about 3 years and I've been using them with the HD650s. I'm looking for something that will increase the soundstage on the 650s and will pair well with the t90s, which I hope to get sometime in the future.    I've got a budget from $400 - 600. I listen to pretty...

    New Denon DA-300USB DSD DAC with headphone amplifier

    Any alternative recommendations, in terms of a 2-in-1 setup? Ideally around the same price range. I had this for a couple weeks, and as a previous reviewer noted, the amp on this was not able to adequately power my HD650s. Even my fiio e9 did a better job at higher volumes. Really disappointing...

    Dream/Must Have Features You Want in a Portable Headphone

    Hi all. I though it would be interesting to post things you'd like to see in a headphone and perhaps post a product like it or close to it that's currently sold.    My must have features are (in random order):    1. collapses flat  2. comes with a hardshell case 3. detachable cable...

    What fits?

    Thanks for all the suggestion. I'm strongly leaning towards one of the HD5xx, probably the HD558s. Just wondering if anyone would recommend the 32 Ohm Beyerdynamic DT 880s? Or would that be overkill for a casual listening experience? I'm slightly worried that the HD558s, might not be as durable...

    Good DAC and AMP combo for AKG K240 and Sennheiser HD 558 with possibility of headphone upgrade?

    The fiio e9/e7 combo sounds pretty great with my HD650s, but note that the combo will only power the 650's to about 80% of their full potential. Never the less the fiio combo is a perfect budget choice that only limits you if you think you'll want to upgrade again soon, as they for sure don't...

    What fits?

    Yea, I've considered the HD598 and the other HD5xx, but don't their cables require a 2.5mm jack on one end?

    Ah my bad, should have specified that, but it doesn't matter to me.

    What fits?

    Hello, I'm looking for headphones that are easily driven off a laptop, with velour pads, that are replaceable down the line and with a detachable cord. My price range is around $200, preferably below, as these headphones will mainly be for casual use.    Any and all suggestion would be...

    Need Help with a Headphone Buying Decision (QC15, M50, HD598, HD558, Momentums, COP, MDR1R)

    I recommend passing on the m50s. I had them for two years, and while I loved how they sounded (my only complaint in this area is that the soundstage on the m50s is underwhelming and quite narrow), how easy they were to drive and the fact that they were built like a tank and could take a beating...

    Picking the right headphones around $150

    I would go with the m80 simply for the detachable cable because it ensures more longevity than a cable's that's attached. Although, I haven't babied by m50s and their still as good as new, but I would prefer the option of a detached cable. Sound wise, I really don't think there's much...

    The Deals Thread (CLOSED! See the last post for the link to the new thread)

    Quote:   I'd go to razordogdeals for the HD650's, the owner of the site allows you to give your best offer. I've heard sales around the $270 - 300 range.

    Where to buy the swan m10 in Canada or comparable 2.1 speaker recommendations?

    As the title says. Or how much did ordering from the US cost overall with shipping and duties? And finally, any recommendations for similar products under $200?

    Any love for Senn HD202? (and mini-review)

    Totally have love for the 202s. They're comfortable enough and I can throw them around.
