    Momentum VS D5000 - FIGHT!

    I think you shouldn't be really comparing these two cans because when an audiophile buys a Momentum, he wants something on the go which has good sound isolation, no sound leak, small, etc. But while Denon claims that Dx000 series are closed, they are really half open. You can't really use them...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (24-bit/192KHz)

    Originally Posted by headfinoob    I am wondering if anybody might know which audio hub the Note 3 uses.  It would be interesting to see if Wolfson is used like the Note 2.

    Samsung Galaxy S 4

    Your IEMs have 32ohm which is unusual for portable cans. i9505 causes unbearable sounds with low impedance cans.

    Samsung Galaxy S 4

    Well that settles then. I have to go with i9500 since my gym IEM is ie80.

    Samsung Galaxy S 4

    I'm assuming that you have i9505?

    Samsung Galaxy S 4

    I'm also interested in knowing how do Senn ie80s play with i9500 and i9505.

    US Samsung Galaxy S4

    I'm still wondering why there is such a massive difference between HTC One and i9505. Technically they have same DAC and HTC One has a discrete amp on it so I don't understand gsmarena's result.

    US Samsung Galaxy S4

    Quote: I don't know where you heard that but that's completely the opposite of what Supercurio said on his twitter. He already stated that Galaxy S original's Wolfson(WM8994) has better SQ than the Wolfson in S3 or Note 2(WM1811).   He confirmed that technically i9500's Wolfson(WM5102)...

    Wolfson DAC smart phones

    Quote: I didn't know the Tegra 2 SoC came with Wolfson. I looked up LG Optimus 2x and this one came with the same DAC as the original Galaxy S, WM8994. If OP was just looking for the cheapest Wolfson, the first Galaxy S is still the best option.

    US Samsung Galaxy S4

    i9505's crosstalk value is amazing. I was going to get i9500 somehow but it's tempting to just go with i9505. I heard that even Supercurio confirmed that i9505 is better. I don't know if it's true though.

    US Samsung Galaxy S4

    Quote: I'm quite surprised that i9505 has much better stereo crosstalk value. It has much better value than i9500 with Wolfson DAC. What's more interesting is that the SQ of i9505 is noticeably better than HTC One which has the same Snapdragon 600 SoC.   I guess Samsung must have done...

    Wolfson DAC smart phones

    Only Exynos SoCs have Wolfson DAC. This means global version of S3 and S4 or Galaxy Note 2. If you are looking for cheap Wolfson android you should get Galaxy S, the first one. It actually had the better Wolfson than Exynos 4, confirmed by Supercurio. New Exynos 5 Octa that would be in the...

    Closed-ear library use/walking around headphones, <$500

    I can confirm that K550 isolates well enough to be used in the library. But I carry T5p to the library. :-) K550 is an amazing choice, you get T5p like sound with only quarter of the price. I've heard some good stuff about the momentous. I think you should audition both.

    V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.

    Holy crap these are really hurting headphones. I like the sound so far but these cans really do hurt my ears, especially tip of the ears.    Has anyone returned these because of this problem?

    V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.

    I just got mine today. They shipped on last Friday. I live in NYC.   I was initially disappointed of its artificial sounding mids but I should give a little more time. I shouldn't really compare these to $1500 headphones. :D

    Battle Of The Flagships (58 Headphones Compared)

    It was a great great review. Also it's fun to see many people trying to defend their headphones.   Your headphones are not your children people. Don't take it personally when someone says yours isn't good!

    It's been "Awaiting Shipment" for 2 weeks now. Man, if they weren't going to send one right away, they shouldn't have said anything in the first place. I don't know when it's going to ship. :(

    Beyerdynamic T5p vs Ultrasone Signature Pro?

    Quote:   Well it depends on how you listen to music really. Neutral or reference headphones produce exactly what the music is feeding. I just don't like the idea of spending any significant amount of money on headphones that are colored too heavily so that I don't even know what the...

    Beyerdynamic T5p vs Ultrasone Signature Pro?

    I've had both and I only kept T5p. It really depends on what your needs are. Obviously, they are both great but if I would point out why I chose T5p:   1. They are less amp dependent compared to Sig Pro. T5p is simply easier to drive. 2. They are neutral(reference) headphones. I felt that...

    Headphones that play great WITHOUT expensive audio system

    I wouldn't spend that much money on headphones that are as colored as Denon. They have one of those classic V shaped sounds where the focus is too heavily on bass.

    K550 or D600: Looking for New Closed Headphones for Classical

    What's your budget? I currently have LCD2, LCD3, HD800, K550, and T5p and when it's only about classical musics, T5p is in its own class compared to all others. It really brings out the music.   If I have to rate from scale from 1 to 10, T5p would get 10 and HD800 would get 3. LCD2, LCD3...

    iPhone 4 versus 4S - which has better SQ

    Quote: That's because the USA versions(all of them) have Snapdragon S4 SoC instead of Exynos(international). Only Exynos has Wolfson DAC.

    Disappointed with the AKG K550 – Where is the bass?

    I've had K550 for months now and I've always felt that proper seal is very important with this headphone. Why don't you try and push the cans to your ears? If this improves the sound/bass a lot, then you have to find the sweet spot by adjusting the headphones' placement on your head.   I...

    AKG K550 Review.

    I think K550 is perfect for outside where you need privacy because you basically don't leak any sound and you don't need any amp to drive these.
