For as long as I’ve been into audio, I’ve always appreciated a warm, natural sound and enveloping, comforting bass.  I’m always on the lookout for the next great warm and bassy piece of gear I’ll be putting on my ears, or in this case, in my ears. The HiSoundAudio Popo comes in two flavours...

I would like to state that I received a pair of Tridents for review from Rocky at Dunu directly. Thank you for the opportunity to review this product, it's been a pleasure. I did the entire review using this setup:   5.5G iMod (stock firmware, no EQ)  -> FiiO L3 -> FiiO E7 -> Trident  ...

I have problems with the DT1350's tinny, unnatural timber. I am thinking it can be remedied or at least aided by a little dampening inside, maybe even plastering some blutak on the backs of the drivers if it looks safe to do so. But I can't figure out how to open the cups or even just remove the...

Well, I just had to try it. My IEM of choice is the Monster Turbine Gold. As with the Vanilla Turbine before them, sound was great but fit sometimes was a bit iffy, mostly because the IEM is a bit large and heavy.  So I tried various methods to make them better for me. The Silicon Foam mod...

Sort of confused whether to post this here in the DAC section or the Amp section, as these two can be used as both DAC and Amp.    But anyway, who has had a chance to listen to and compare these two? Most preferably someone who has owned both for some time, which may be a tall order.  ...

I had a chance to do an interesting mod on my HD650. I got these cheap 50 cent pleathers from CD-R King and surprisingly they fit the HD650 like a glove. I took out the Velours and proceeded to install the pleather pads.       I also took out the foam and ended up with a Senn as...

  I initially posted a rather badly-done review of these cans earlier, because I was rushing to meet the Phiaton-sponsored contest. I apologize for the half-baked effort, but now I think I am ready with what a more mature impression on these cans. Here is my more or less final review of the...

I'm hoping Head Fi can help me and post comparisons of these two from first hand experience.   I'm a bass head and these two have fallen into my radar as my next set of bassy closed cans. But they are either too new or too obscure that it seems doubtful anyone has listened to both.   ...

The M50 is one of my beloved bass head cans that delivers beautiful, plump bass. At the $100 price point it is seriously one of the best offerings you can get and is serious bang for the buck. To this day I still recommend it to bass lovers and even general users looking for a real treat for a...

Two questions my friends.   Which of these two would you get, and which of these two deals do you think is better for me?   I'm basically in the market for a good set of closed cans coming from my DT770 which I just sold. I'm looking to try something new, and basically I'm looking for...

  I borrowed a friend's Hippos and was excited to try these highly-regarded bass monster IEMs. However, my initial impressions have me a little confused.   I'll be comparing them first to the Vmoda Vibes, which is the only IEM I have on me at the moment. This is fine because the Vibes are...

Okay, another K701 amping thread. I went through the search function but didn't really get the information I needed. Anyway, I'm looking to spend around $200 and want an amp that matches well with my K701.   I'm basically looking for something that plays to one of the K701's main strengths...

I just received my Little Dot Q yesterday. I was out the entire day so I only got to hear it today. My apologies for the lack of pics, I'll put some up later when I have my camera. I went on a mountaineering trip a few weeks ago and I haven't gotten my camera back from the person who...

I searched all the threads here and couldn't find much info on the DT440. Must be too old. All I learned basically was that it sounds a bit like the HD555 or HD595, but is "funner." And that its headband snaps a lot. Could someone describe the sound sig of the DT440 more? How nice a headset...

Has anyone here heard the Marantz 1090? It has a really fat, bassy, tubey sound (it's not a tube amp though). I'm looking for something portable that sounds just like it. Any recommendations?

Hi everyone, Been looking for a can that sounds similar to the K518 (same dark warm sound, maybe a little better resolution and detail but not anything starkly different) but which has a one-sided cable? I'm a bit of a stickler for the single-sided cable in a portable. Would be great if it...

Something with the AKG K701's soundstage and the warmth and deep extension of the Beyer DT770? Does the HD650 come close to this described ideal?

This is perhaps the golden question for me. I am at the cusp of getting one or the other. The Shure has the advantage of being one-sided in the cable, I really like that. It's also cheaper than what I can get the WS70 for. Other than that though I don't know which will sound better for me...

Hi peeps. I have a deal coming up where I can get a modded SR225 with Gaboon Ebony cups (mini) from JMoney Audio and Senn 414 Pads. Has anyone owned or tried this setup? I know how a stock SR225 sounds but would like to know how the woody cups would affect the sound of the SR225. I once...

Ok, I know Monster and Dre get a really bad rep around here, but for those who aren't in auto-flame mode please here me out. Have you tried the Dre Beats demo kiosk? It has some Beats HPs rigged to an amp. And man does that amp rock. I'm not that impressed by the Dre Beats headphones...

Hello people, I've been using my iPod Nano 2G for like the past 3 years or so. I've been relatively happy with it but comparing it to a Cowon D2 or even just a Sansa Clip of all things shows me that its sound quality is just lacking. I personally would like to stay with the Nano family...

My apologies I know this kind of thread has come up a gazillion times, but it's hard to use the search function to word this properly. Anyway I'm just looking for a portable set of headphones. What I'm looking for are: a.) Folds up for very easy packing into a bag or even better a jacket...

I noticed that the UF30 is not getting much attention here. I just recently got these cans and I am loving them, so I thought I'd spread the love with a review. I was in the market for a portable headset which had my preferred sound signature: warm, laidback and bassy. After looking around...
