Sennheiser IE80's Impressions Thread
Just received my IE80s from bhphoto and they do seem to be a tad veiled, compared to my se535 reds. They do sound fun to listen to though, and I think I would keep them as a complement.- kenji458

I've both the HD600 & D600, and I certainly think the 2 of them complement each other very well. Cheers~- kenji458

Denon D600 vs Bose QC15
Received my D600s only yesterday and paired with the ODAC/O2 as my laptop rig, the bass is the first thing that captures your attention. In some songs, like David Guetta's, the D600 would deliver great and deep bass, slightly more than HFi2400 even, IMO. However, the bass is always nicely...- kenji458

Monster Inspiration. Anyone Had a Chance to Try a Pair?
Inspiration ANC is supposedly the flagship of the new Monster lineup, and I'm also interested in getting either this or the PSB M4U 2. Not interested in getting a Bose QC15 after auditioning them.- kenji458

Monster Inspiration. Anyone Had a Chance to Try a Pair?
Feedback from an Inspiration ANC owner I had questioned, Q: How do you rate the ANC capability? Any audible hiss when it is activated? A; The hiss is minor. There is leakage when the device volume is turned up really high. Q: Do they accentuate the bass and treble to a Lesser...- kenji458

Went ahead with purchasing the Denon AH-D600, since it was already 20% off. Wonder if Black Friday would have a greater margin of discount?- kenji458

iBasso D-Zero
I know this is irrelevant in relation to the review but I just want to know if the aux output section of the d-zero would work as a dac together with say, creative t40 series ii or audio engine a2? Wondering if d-zero can function as a dac for the laptop speakers by using the aux/o and...- kenji458

Denon D5000 VS. D7000
No offence if I'm seen as deviating from the thread's topic but I would like to ask the Dx000 owners whether you experience any loosening of the headband screw which attaches the ear pad to the headband? Read that it is a common problem on head-fi, though you maybe able to diy the problem...- kenji458

SONY MDR-EX1000 color fading out
If it's only the letterings fading or the imperfections come after months of usage, I'm fine with it. It's only been 2 weeks and I've only used them only twice with each an hour's usage, as I'm mainly using SE535 LE. The casing finish is rough and some parts are already peeling off and...- kenji458

SONY MDR-EX1000 color fading out
Sony service centre has accepted and taken in my earphones. Hope that when they call me 5-7 business days later to collect, it would be a new pair. If it had happened within 7 days, I could've just exchanged it at the dealer; but it happened exactly 14 days after. Sucks- kenji458

SONY MDR-EX1000 color fading out
Just realized that there are several lumps/bumps on the finish along the white letterings 'MDR-EX1000' & 'JAPAN'. Wonder if this is normal? or due to cosmetic manufacturing? My set is only 2 weeks old, and the wordings have started to fade too. Maybe I'll go down to my Sony service...- kenji458

D7 Sidewinder....Initial impressions
I've got another newbie question, as it's my first time getting an external DAC.. After connecting the iem to the dac, is it normal to hear a 'pop' sound when switching on/off the DAC? Would it damage the iem? If no, what is the correct procedure?- kenji458

D7 Sidewinder....Initial impressions
Ordered the D7 on Fri, shipped on Monday and received it on Tuesday.. Just a minor issue, does any of the D7 users experience the music getting interrupted/"hiccups" for a few milliseconds, then resumes playing normally? Is it due to the usb cable or usb port?- kenji458

D7 Sidewinder....Initial impressions
The information I received from iBasso of the D7's output power is as follows: 165mW into 32ohm & 17.5mW into 300ohm Output impedence <1 ohm I'm new to amping but this figures basically means it's more suited to driving iems and hd25 amperior and the like, correct? ...- kenji458

iBasso D7 and senheiser HD 650
I too had asked iBasso about the output power and the answer received was: 17.5mW into 300ohm Or you can just add an dedicated amp, like the P4 to the D7 later on for higher impedance headphones.- kenji458
