Hi all,   My last IEM was a JVC FXZ200, which sadly died on me last week. As such, I'm in the market for a new dynamic driver based IEM and I've narrowed my choices to two - I can get a second-hand IE80 or a brand new IM70 (for cheaper!)   Which of the two would you recommend - based on pure...

Supercurio hasn't released voodoo sound for the S3 yet, so the app on the play store won't work. A working alternative though is the Boeffla Kernel (google it) with Boeffla sound control, and it will do essentially the same things Voodoo does (DAC direct, better amplification etc).   You've...

Have you considered the Beyer DT990? They have good bass for the rap genre. Not sure if the 250ohm version may be powered by the fiio e11. The 32ohm version, which I have, can be powered from my iBasso D4 though, for what its worth. It is possible to find them at your price range as I bought...

Hm, I think the TripleFi's can be had at a lower price, if you're willing to wait. I got mine at 129 USD and it wasn't during Black Friday either. But i do find the UEs good for a wide variety of genres... I like it with J-Trance, J-pop and orchestral music (I think they've got the "slam" needed...

Anybody?

Price range?   If price is not a concern spring for the top-end ones... It's been said frequently around here that the SR-71 series (A or B) are able to drive even hugely demanding cans easily. If you get that, consider it sort-of future proofing your purchase...but it's going to cost you...

Bass? You may want to look into Denon offerings (C710), Radius DDM1/DDM2 or the well known JVC FX700. These are generally a few recommendations for bass around here. I don't own any of these, but I have auditioned only the DDM1 and found it too muddy for my taste, though this is my opinion and...

Not sure about the budget, though I suggest you take a look at these:   Beyerdynamic DT770 (closed back, comfortable, bass-oriented, some may say its mids are recessed. Personally, I don't own it, so don't take my word for it, but I have tried it in a local store and I personally don't feel...

Hi all,   I am thinking of rolling the D4's opamps to experiment a little. I have a dual-channel OPA2228 opamp in my CMOY. Can I use that as the amplifier chip in the iBasso D4, with stock buffers? Would that blow the system/sensitive iems like the TF10?   If that won't work, any buffers...

Hi all,   I would be visiting NYC as a tourist for 10 days with 2 other friends. I would like to have some recommendations on cheap accomodation in NYC, in a safe neighbourhood (preferably hotels, though we are open to hostels) that cost no more than USD 115 a night. If the location's in a...

Well I haven't much experience so please do take my comments with a grain of salt.   I see the cans you are using are the DT770 Pro... well the DT770/32 ohm are said to be mid-recessed from what I read around here (NOTE, READ, I have not listened to this cans) like my Triple.Fi 10s.   I...

Quote:   Hi, thanks for the advice!   I will probably go with the DT880/32, since other reviews also say good things about the neutrality of this 'phone. Unfortunately...not many opportunities for getting used stuff in my area but Amazon does have quite a good deal for them now @...

Your comments are noted so far. So I have auditioned the D2000, and didn't find them amazing IMHO - on Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet the bass was pretty overpowering - so, I am also considering the DT880 (32 ohms) and DT990 (32 ohms). Will be powering them from an iBasso D4. Would that be a good...

Hi all, this is my first post on Head-Fi! (But I've been lurking for a long time)   Now I'm facing a hard decision between 2 headphones - the ATH-AD1000 and the AH-D2000.   I listen to J-pop, and orchestral music that sounds very dramatic - think (for those of you who know) Symphony Seed...
