Is there a portable amp that is iPhone 5/6 compatible and can be used sans GSM buzz without putting the phone into airplane mode? Thanks :)

After spending a lot of time with my Shure SE535, I'm finding the recessed mids / boom and tizz of my DT770 to be less appealing. I tried the HD558, which had decent mids, but the clarity was noticeably less across the board (not just treble), and I ended up returning them. Is there something in...

So, I've been to two different audiologists a total of three times and none of my impressions have been satisfactory. The first audiologist didn't seem to know what she was doing, as the impressions came out wrong even after Sensaphonics gave her specific instructions. The second one seemed to...

I'm looking for a pair of 'beater' headphones under $200 to use at my workstation. Closed back, similar sound signature to the Beyer T70 (my favorite headphone). Looking for neutral, detailed, and flat sound. Must be closed back. Thanks!

For the past 7+ years I have used an Airport Express and AirPlay (formerly AirTunes) connected to my receiver via S/PDIF. My first receiver was an el cheapo Sony 5.1 home theater in-a-box, and (ironically) it received the Airplay signal without issue. 3 years ago I upgraded my speakers to a nice...

Right now I have a Fiio E10 and Beyer DT770 Pro 80's & MMX 300's (which I hear are just 32ohm 770's).   Looking to see if I can't upgrade my dac/amp combo. I'd like to stay under $250, but I can push $300+ for the ideal setup.    Looking for something to take the sibilant edge off my...

I was wondering if there are any IEMs similar to the Apple Earpods with respect to the fact that they don't have any kind of tip that inserts into the ear canal. I've tried IEM tips in every possible shape and material and all of them have been intolerably uncomfortable. I finally had some ear...

I'm looking for IEM recommendations - budget is around $300. My full-size headphones are Beyer DT 770 Pro 80's that I absolutely love. I definitely prefer the Beyer sound signature to other headphones I've tried (AKG, Sennheiser). Thanks for the suggestions :)

  Was gonna pick up a pair of these from amazon, but I noticed the picture is different from the Beyer website. I don't even recognize the phones in the picture. What the hell?

I'm new to the world of IEM's... well, good ones anyway. Up until recently my 16GB iPhone has doubled as my portable music solution, paired with a pair of (brace yourself) Apple earbuds. In my defense, as a proponent of lossless audio since the conception of mp3, I figured there was no reason to...

So I have a pair of DT 770 Pro 80's which have been my only headphones for 4+ months. Today I went and auditioned some Grado 325i's and Sennheiser HD650's at my local stereo shop, and I preferred my Beyers by a hands-down margin. My impression of the Grado's was that they were oversized Apple...

1. I listen to mostly metal, but there's nothing I hate more than listening fatigue. I find the DT 770 Pro 80 has my favorite sound signature of any headphone I've heard in my price range. So ideally I'd be looking for something as close to that as possible, not so much for the bass, but for the...

Bobino Cable Buddy     I overwhelmingly prefer straight cabled headphones. In fact, if I didn't hate the coiled cable on my HD280's so much, I might have never thought about replacing them and thus never discovered Head-Fi! To think! That being said, I am also a neat freak. The sight of...

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to the headphone scene. A few months ago I got my first pair of "real" headphones, DT 770 Pro 80's. I compared them to ATH-M50's and much preferred the sound signature of the 770's. The only thing I liked more about the M50's was that they were plenty loud plugged...

Can anyone offer a comparison or recommendation between these two headphones?   I'm looking for some portable on-ear noise cancelling headphones to wear around campus / block out noise when studying in public areas etc. I find IEM's and over-ear headphones to be unsuitable (comfort / bulk...

  I am looking for headphones for listening at home. I will be using them primarily with my laptop while relaxing in bed, and occasionally with my desktop PC. I know that I would get better quality if I used an external DAC/AMP, but I don't like the idea of having to fuss with extra...
