Hi,   My Sony XBA-40 IEMs have recently given up on me - I'm only getting high-end through unless I wiggle the jack.   Rather than go straight out and purchase a new pair of IEMs (with removable cables, may I add!), I thought I'd have a go at reterminating them...   Having never did this...

Hi,   I find myself in the market for some new (probably universal IEMs) after my XBA-40 gave up on me...   I'm looking through Westone products on various shopping websites, and reading reviews.   Can anyone sum up the main differences in sound signature between the W and UM ranges? Are...

Hi everyone,   I purchased a pair of XBA40s after using IE8/80s for a few years. I like the overall sound but I just CAN'T get them to seal my ear canal properly. As a reference I used to use the smallest double-flange tips on the IE80s that were a perfect seal.    I think the problem...

Hi guys, in strongly considering buying a pair of XBA-40s. What are people's thoughts on the sound signature? I'll probably be purchasing from eBay to the UK which will be less hassle than Amazon.JP does anyone have experience of importing from Japan and can offer any comments on import tax...

Hi guys,    I'm looking for a replacement for my Sennheiser IE80s. I've owned 2 pairs of the IE8s and 1 pair of the IE80s which unfortunately were recently stolen. I've been getting by on my HD25-1s for commuting but I don't think I can last much longer!    I definitely don't want to go...

Hi,   My HD25s have been my "go to" headphones for many years now. They're constantly connected up and I know they're sound well enough to even produce music on them, though they're main purpose is for when I'm DJing.   I'm surprised that there isn't a reasonably in-depth comparison...

Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying a new pair of headphones as I'm starting to get more and more in to EDM (mainly trance) music production since I bought my Virus TI.  I've been using my trusty old HD 25-1 for quite a while now as their sound signature is easy to work with for me although i...

Well, my LCD-2s came today. So far comfort isn't an issue, although I've been lying down most of the time and I have a smallish head. I'm loving the accuracy of the bass the most so far. The overall sound is wonderfully natural and has worked well with everything I've thrown at it, including my...

Hi guys, i'm gradually building up my lossless collection and i have a pretty good cross section now of everything that i enjoy listening to but i don't really have any classical at all. The closest i have is film scores..... Can you suggest any classical (but not too dark / brassy) that's...

Hey guys, MalVeauX  came up with the brilliant idea for this thread, so big thanks!   The concept is simple, this thread will be a collection of Electronic Dance Music tracks of all genres that really make the Pro 900s "shine." Whether this is in terms of bass, detail or just generally...

Still in the early stages but quite pleased with this one so far. Just a sample (no melody or anything included just yet)    http://soundcloud.com/jamrules1/phonix-dragonite-10

Just wondering if anyone on here has actually tried this combo? I appreciate it's unlikely that anyone will have bought these to use specifically together 

Hi guys, wasn't sure quite where to post this one as it includes a bit of everything......   Basically over the next few months i'm going to be upgrading my system to a Schiit Bifrost, Lyr & Audeze LCD-2 (I'm currently running Ultrasone Pro 900 / HD600, LD MK V & Saffire 6).  ...

For anyone who's into their folky type stuff i thought i'd share a link to a band who i think are brilliant. They first came to my attention because the vocalist (Sarah Howells) sings in some of my favourite vocal trance tracks. Check out their album "The Day We Run Into The Sea" it makes for...

Afterpurchasing a pair of Pro900s recently I've finally found the sound signature for me. Brilliant detail and tons of bass (perhaps too much bass sometimes). Time to sell my HD600s I think and the next logical step is to upgrade my source. I'm currently using a Focusrite Saffire 6 which I...

I've had a pair of HD600s running through a LD MKV for about a year now and I've loved them since I first opened the box. However..... I've recently purchased a pair of Pro900s (which are nowhere near finished burning in yet) and they completely blow the HD600s out of the water in every aspect...

Hi guys, after scrolling through posts for info on the Pro 900s (which i've just bought) i realised that there is quite a lot of trance fans on here so i thought i would post up a recording of a live mix i played at a club on Friday. Might not be something yous will all enjoy mind, but for those...

Hi guys, i'm thinking of buying a set of Ultrasone Pro 900s for listening to EDM at home. The only amp i currently own is a Little Dot MK V and i'm unsure how the two will pair up? Can anybody who may have tried the combination let me know their thoughts in terms of the overall sound quality? ...

Hi everyone,   A friend has recently ordered a Fiio E7 portable DAC / Amp without doing as much research as he perhaps should. He thought he could plug it into any headphone socket in an MP3 player and reap the benefits. Suffice to say he wasn't happy when i told him that if he is plugging...

I've recently got a new (replacement) pair of IE8's delivered after my old ones died. They've only had about 5/6 hours play time so far but the high frequencies in the right ear are pretty distorted while the left ear lacks highs. Could this be down to lack of burn in or something more serious?

Hi everyone. I've had my IE8's for almost exactly 12 month and i absolutely loved them. After a weekend away, i returned home to find that the left earpiece has almost completely stopped working aswell as the right earpiece also having a massive reduction in volume. I have tried removing the...

Hi everyone, i'm an EDM music producer (specializing in trance) looking for an upgrade from my Sennheiser HD25MKII headphones. I am currently using a Focusrite Saffire 6 soundcard as an output on my PC straight in to the HD25's. I am looking for headphones that will colour the sound as little...

Hi everyone, as a member i am brand new to this forum, thought i'd register due to the sheer wealth of user experience that seems to be on offer here. I am an amateur music producer (Mainly Trance & other types of EDM) and have recently bought a Focusrite Saffire 6 soundcard for my pc for a...
