Username: hatecrew1992 Location: Vienna, Austria Headphones: Beyerdynamic DT-770 32Ohm, Hifiman HE-400, Cosmic Ears CE2, Sennheiser HD595, Bose Quietcomfort 25, Etymotic HF-5 AMP/DACs: Maveric audio D1, Creativ Soundblaster Z, Fiio X1   I don't have any reviews up on head-fi yet, but would...

posted, followed and even liked. Man an IEM partner to my he-400 would be really awesome

hey guys,   just was curious if anyone could maybe compared the HY3 with the Heir Audio 3.Ai, I am mostly listening to EDM and Metalcore with some classic to spice things up every once in a while, and those two have come to my attention so any info would be really nice  

It might be easier to get information if you would post a budget and the music you listen to. Also I would recommend asking in the recommendation thread:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/529144/full-size-headphone-recommendations-thread-i-e-dont-start-a-new-thread-ask-for-advice-here-please-read-op  

Quote: OK thanks. I hope I can get my hands on a pair of the UE900 for trying

hmm, the UE900 seems to be pretty much what I am looking for thanks, but since I started to take an interest in costum IEMs, I wanted to ask wether there are ones available that might be right for me as well, without having to up my budget to much?

well as far as the sound sig, It is hard to say, but I would like to have bass that would be adequate for EDM stuff, without bleeding into the other frequencies. Also the trebel should be energetic and engaging to work well with Metalcore stuff. Both not to much, just enough to be audible, so...

hi guys, I was thinking of getting myself some nice new IEM's for my budget of about 400$. I listen mainly to Metalcore and related genres as well as EDM( not the chill typ) and from time to time some classic. I will be using my Sansa Clip-->CmoyBB for now but I a thinking of getting myself an...

I would love to get my hands on one of these  

Quote: +1  I only had the chance to compare them to the grado 125i in store, so I can´t say anything conclusive, but they sounded harsher than the Hifiman

thanks for all the Info. I think I will di just that  

so I have somewhat narrowed it down to the Musical Fidelity V-DAC II, The iFi iDAC ant the Yulong D100 II. Those are easiely available for me. I know the only definite way to make a decision would be to audit them together, but that is not possible so I hope someone can help me make an decision...

how does any of these, except for the shiit, perfom with the LCD-2? These will be my next headphones so I would like for the stuff to work well with those  

well then a DAC it shall be... but which one? It looks that there are quite a few well regarded once available within my budget...  

so, I have decided to buy the Burson as an Amp, but still have no idea about what DAC to get. Also i still am uncertain what part i should upgrade first  

well that is hard to answer. I personallly have not found a store in austria where I can audition Head-Amps or reasonably priced DAC's, there only seems to be the cheap mainstream stuff and the uber expenisive high end stuff. But in general i can buy anything that is distributed inside the EU...

does the same go for the DAC? The plan was to either upgrade the DAC or Amp, then buy my next HP (probaly LCD-2) and then buy the second upgrade after that  

thanks for the reply,   the burson seems like a neat little amp, but since teh price difference isn`t all that much I also came to consider the Vioelectric HPA V100 if that would change anything. The DAC is a bit thougher. I find the Bitfrost to be very appealing, but chances are that I have...

A little help would be really nice  

hi guys, I just recently got my HE-400 and i find the standart cable to be annoyingly long, can anyone tell me where I can get a short replacement ( like 1,5m or somthing like that) that doesn´t cost as much as those that I found? Paying north of 100$ for a cable is just to much for me

for me they are slightly less comfortble than the senns, but that mostly comes from the pleather pads. They are heavyer so they might fell less comfortable, but i think the headband is broad enough to distribute they weight nicely  

you can mod the pads, so that the trebel gets smoothed out and pushed back a little. Not enough to makr it completly different, but enough to make them sound smoother. Probably not enough to make you like the trebel if it really bothered you in the first place though   Mod...

I had the senn Hd 595, so I don´t know how different these to are, but if there are only somewhat close, I can tell you that the HE-400 is an fantastic upgrade. The only other headphone from the list that i listened to are the Q702, and although they are nice for some genres, I would considere...

hi guys,   now that the Hifiman He-400 are about to become mine,  was thinking about upgrading my Amp and DAC from my Mav-Audio D1. I want to upgrade both, but only one pice at a time. I listen mainly to Metalcore and EDM stuff but also to calssic (mostly Piano and Violin).   For the DAC...

hi guys,   I was wondering if anyone could tell how good the He 400 are with (post-)Hardcore, Metalcore, southern Metal stuff, like Every time I die, Bring me the horizon, Letlive, Sick of it all and so on
