Still for sale?

Any 400i owners that have or had the HD650?  How do the 400i compare in terms of comfort?  I find the clamping on the 650 too much (even after stretching).  Thanks.

I've had the HD650 for a few weeks now and the clamping, despite stretching the steel band, is not going away.  They sound amazing but I cannot listen to them for more than a half hour.     How comfortable are the HE-400i?  I have heard they are oversized and don't clamp down as much as the...

Should I bother upgrading from a Vali 1 / Modi 1, if my budget is in the ~$500 range?   I basically feel like everything is going to be a sidegrade.  At least as far as Schiit products go.  For example, would a Valhalla 2 or Asgard 2, paired with a Modi Multibit really be "that" much better...

  Thanks for your reply.  I guess I am looking for something more aggressive than my Vali 1.  Can you give an example, maybe with certain types of music, where I'd hear the major difference btwn the two amps?  I primarily listen to classic rock, jazz, classical, and deep house music.   Also...

Hoping I can get an answer in this thread: I'm currently using the original Vali with the HD650.  Should I look into getting a Vali 2 or a Valhalla 2 for the HD650?  I only listen to the HD650s with my desktop setup.   Thanks.

  Thanks for your reply.  I used to have a pair of the original 700s during my PC gaming days and I could literally wear them for hours without noticing.  Is the comfort level you're describing due to the revision? From what I remember, the rubber band mod works well if you have a smaller head...

Hello everyone,   I have a gift card to an online retailer that sells AT headphones (only legit audio brand on the site) and also price matches to Amazon.  I need to use the gift card by the end of next week and need to get a new pair of headphones for my study laptop.  I need something that...

Hello everyone,   I've been using my DT 990 Pro 250 Ohms for a couple years now.  The cans sound great with my Schiit Vali / Modi stack when listening to music / gaming on my PC, but get pretty uncomfortable after an hour or so of use.  I can feel the cups irritating my ears and digging into...

  The thing is that I already bought the DG.  I did some searching and it seemed a DG + a good quality amp (I can stretch the budget, if really needed) was a better solution than a more expensive desktop sound card.  Is that not the case?

Hello all,   I just purchased a Xonar DG and a pair of DT 990 250ohms for my desktop setup (strictly gaming + music).  I'm looking to also get an external amp and wanted to solicit some opinions on my best option at around ~$100, and more importantly if I will see a noticeable improvement at...

Folks I have a similar question.   I primarily use my main PC for gaming and music (usually at the same time...).  I'm currently using ATD-AD700s with on-board sound on my EVGA 758 motherboard (previously had two Auzuntech Forte cards, both of which dies and had to be RMAd).  I would like to...

Bumping this thread.  Has anyone had any luck in coming up with a solution to fix their cards on their own?  My RMA'd Forte died again (around the same ~9 month timeframe) after experiencing the popping noises.

I have a AuzenTech X-Fi Forte sound card. I currently have a set of both the Sens HD555s and Audio Technica ATH-AD700s (bought both off Amazon with the intention of returning one – seems like I will be going with the 700s) I bought the combo for Call of Duty 4 as I am currently playing the...
