Sorry, I'm just getting to this reply. I think I'm going with the C5D; for another $50, it seems to have better reviews than either iBasso or Leckerton, which was a very close second for me.   Thanks for the advice!

It seems the headphone jack is dead on my FiiO E12 after about three years of use. I'm looking for a replacement/upgrade. Hesitant to buy another FiiO as prior to this, I had an E11 that I also had problems with.   Primarily used with RHA M750 IEMs on an Android phone (Google Nexus 6P)...

I need a pair of cans that will be useful for both a set of electronic drums (Roland TD-15) as well as the occasional game of F1 2012 (offline racing video game). No real preference between on- and over-ear.   I've loved the warm sound of my Grado SR-60s for some time, but they're broken and...

Yeah, the Beats are dead (but lasted me quite some time, relatively speaking). And after one commute with my girl's borrowed, craptastic JLABs, I ordered the GR07s from Amazon, next day shipping. Hoping I get them in the office in time for the commute home.   Thanks for the insight...

If you're heading to NYC, J&R music world (jr.com) down by City Hall is a good place to demo headphones. B&H (bhphotovideo.com) uptown may also; I'm not sure.   FWIW, I've had Grado SR-60i's for probably a decade, and they never get old. I use them daily at work; after a few hours they get a...

  Yeah, I think so. It's always the left-side only, so I'm guessing it gets jerked one too many times and says "no more".    Thanks for the recommendation.

I have a knack for breaking the left-side cable at the 'phone on IEMs - in the past few years I've gone through two pairs of Etymotic er-6i, a Fischer Audio DBA-02, a Yamaha EPH-100, and now I think the pair of Beats headphones that came with my old HTC Rezound phone. I don't think I'm that hard...

That's awesome, thank you Deadlovestory! What do you know about Velodyne? Seems to have the bass I'm looking for. Are they fragile?  

So far I've had Etymotic ER-6i, Fischer Audio DBA-02, and most recently the Beats headphones that come with the Rezound phone. The Etymotics and Fischers both had their left phone go out (replaced the ER-6i's more than once), so I guess I'm a little hard on them. They were also missing a lot of...

Thank you. I suppose I am asking for quite a bit at this price point.   Based on your review, I don't think the DBA-02 will fit my bill; I certainly prefer a lot of bass over neutrality, I suppose it's the drummer in me. My friends are always amazed at the level of bass I keep on my various...

I'd say substantially more bass, Rawrster   Disappointed to hear about noise reduction. I'm borrowing my fiancee's JLAB something or others; I like the added bass, but hate the way they feel in my ears, and the almost complete lack of isolation. Since you live in NYC, I'm sure you understand...

Thanks for the quick reply! I should also mention I'm currently using Grado SR-60s at work. I love these cans.   At this point, I am leaning toward the RE0, but have heard different things about the bass- some say too much, some say not enough compared to, say, the S4s.   I saw good...

Hello-   I have been looking around the past two days for a replacement for my er-6is. I have had them for several years, but find them quite fragile and lacking bass (as has been attested many, many times.) I do like their clarity, and due to the fact that I commute via train to NYC, their...
