Well sure it makes sense, (At least to me in my head lol.)  As I pointed out, I liked the AD700s until my dog ruined them, so I am contemplating replacing them with another AD700, or, thinking of switching it up to the Westone UM2's and just trying to get peoples opinions on what may be better...

Seems like lately its pretty difficult to get a response :(

Bump :)

I liked my AD700's but lacked a little bass, but loved the clarity.  The lack of bass was easily overlooked for me.  Now im needing to replace them because I cant repair them after a dog bit the cord and am wondering what would be the better choice between these 2 headphones.   Use: They...

So I am looking to replace my AD-700's that my dog ruined and I can't seem to properly fix and I'm trying to decide if I should go with another pair of AD-700's or if there is a comparable/better IEM for sound.  The budget is around $100 (Could spend more if I wanted but like to keep it under...

I see a lot of people throwing out that Fiio portable amp as suggestions or the thing the Astro A40's come with to make a headphone sound better, my question is (And this is probably very stupid), but does using a receiver do what those other items would have done?    Thanks!

Bump for help :)

So I decided to upgrade from the Logitech Z2300's to some bookshelf speakers based on some help I received on these forums and others and just wanted to know what else I might need to finish this up if anything.   Speakers - Infinity P163BK x2...

Thanks for the additional information, would you be able to list an upgraded item you might select over the Lepai since you consider it the weak link?   Thanks again for all the fantastic information.  Im considering strongly to get the Infiniti setup for the computer speakers and that JBL...

Hey Jake I was refering to the budget setup he listed, not the Audioengines.  I would imagine the Audioengine are a significant jump as well :)

I dont even know if this is the right place for this post, but I am recently thinking about upgrading a lot of my home theater stuff and I currently am using a Yamaha receiver that I got like 3 years ago with a 5.1 box set that was around 300 bucks total.  Nothin special, but im looking at...

Thanks for taking the time to reply with a lot of good information!   I have a few questions as well, I really wanted to go with the Audioengines because of the clarity and hearing a lot of really good things about them.  I am wondering just how much of a step up your budget stereo system...

I currently have the Logitech 2.1 system the Z2300 and I was wanting to upgrade and considering going to the Audioengine A5+ Premium Powered Speaker Pair and wanted to know if there would be any possible way to use the sub woofer from the Logitech set just for the added bass?  The main reason I...

Thanks for the reply!  What exactly is a DAC going to do for me?  What would I notice?  Like I said im just getting into this stuff and learning. Thanks!

Would I need an amp with either one of those? 

So up front I would like to say i'm a novice at this stuff and would very much appreciate some hand holding on the subject.  So any and all help would be greatly appreciate.   What I am really looking to do is upgrade from my 2.1 system that is the Logitech Z-2300.  I don't dislike them at...

I love the clarity on the AD700's, the more I hear about just how much bass the DT770's put out, i'm wondering if it may be a little too much and wash out the other stuff.

Hey thanks for posting that for me :)  Much appreciated!

First off, i'm coming from the AD700's which I like quite a bit.  They are comfortable and they sound great.  Of course my complaint is with the bass.  Its not that I find it terrible, I just would prefer more.  And im not looking for something to rattle my brain, but just more bass than the...

Actually I have a desktop set of Logitech Z-2300 speakers that I plug into the volume control.  Its hard to explain, and that's probably why its not as good as it could be, but I've also plugged it into the front 3.5 mm jack on the PC and didn't notice a difference.  I don't have a dedicated...

Also, I do appreciate the input :)  Thanks!

Bump, anyone else have any suggestions or also think the Ultrasone HFI-2400 are a good choice?  Don't want to make any quick decisions.  

As the title states I'm looking to upgrade from my AD700's.  My price range is $200-$250.  I am considering the 598's and wondering if that would be a good way to go. I'm looking for more bass, but I'm not a bass head and not really looking for a ton of boom, honestly i liked the AD700's but...

Bump, anyone have any suggestions?  I know they aren't super expensive headphones, but I'd rather not throw away $100.

So long story short is my dog bit through the cable because my kid knocked the headphones on the ground.  Anyways I cut the cable up to where the bite mark is gone but I cant splice them back together well enough.  I've tried getting these things back together with no luck at all.  I've tried...
