Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
As a UE-4 Pro owner I was intrigued by the UE900 when I first learned about them at their release last year. I've been lurking around in this thread for a long time curious to find out as much as possible. How do the quad armatures mesure up against the UE4 dual? Is the armatures of better or...- Kobra

Apple EarPods Thread
I got my iPhone 5 yesterday. One of the first things I did after setting it up was to try out the new EarPods. I didn't expect much, but I have to say I was quite impressed after the initial five minutes of listening. These new Apple IEM's are a radical departure from the old ones. Fit and...- Kobra

AKG K550 - NEW!!
I don't find the K550 to be sharp nor fatiguing. I've done some A/B testing with my K701, the K550 is much smoother in comparison.- Kobra

Focal Spirit One Headphones
I got the chance to try these out today at a local high-fi exibition. Just a quick 15 minute test with a rather new pair so it might not be a fair test. Compared to AKG K550: In general: more comfortable headband, much better cable, a plus for the remote, good accessories (hardcase)...- Kobra

Tapatalk is a good forum reader. There's two versions, one universial for both iPad and iPhone, and one "HD" version for iPad only. I'm using the HD version, it works... :wink:- Kobra

List of DACs that work with iPad
Quote: Yes, you can use the HDP with the camera connection kit and a powered USB hub. I'm using it myself, sounds fantastic. I'm using my HDP with a small 4 port hub, the hub doesn't have to be plugged in to the wall wart. The only "issue" is that you can't stream 24/96 files with...- Kobra

Headphones to compliment Nuforce HDP
I'm using my HDP with a pair of K701. I like it a lot and would recommend that combination to anyone who's after detail, clarity, transparency and neutrality. The bass is well defined without being either thin or boomy.- Kobra

Instead of new cans I would swap the m-stage for a Heed CanAmp. It makes the K701 sound warmer and musical without loosing out on clarity and head stage- Kobra

AKG K550 - NEW!!
I agree on all of your accounts, except for the initial impression. Perhaps my expectation was on a more "realistic" level. My first impression was "good sound stage and a good clear and open sound for a closed headphone".... I auditioned the Beyer T70 at the same time as the K550. The...- Kobra

AKG K550 - NEW!!
I've had my pair of K-550 for about a week, I really like them. They are a good alternative to those times when I can't use my K-701 because of their sound leakage. Build quality is really good, value for money? Yes, my money is well spent!- Kobra

Deciding between Custom and Universal IEMs
Have you tried the Klipsch X10i ? Amongst the universial IEM's they're considered to be the most comfortable ones. I've also stayed away from IEM because of the irritation issue you mention, the Klipsch IEM are the only ones I can use for a period over half an hour. I've used my X10 for as long...- Kobra
