@ Priest Earcups squeak a bit when you adjust them but once on your head it is fine. For durability Beocord mentioned a number of headphones that look just the same barring company logos and minor details so I fear these are indeed repackaged model of the same type. Perhaps reviews of these will...

As Project Hear it one is rather unknown I decided to compare it with a popular Creative Aurvana Live.     Build quality   Project with its metal headband fells sturdier than plastic CAL,   Comfort CAL for me is circumaural and thus more comfortable allowing more air. With...

I had a chance to listen to these on Audio show 2 weeks ago out of project small amp and my mp3 player. No problems with volume as it is low impedance. Please bear in mind it was a noisy environment.   These seem fairly neutral and detailed in a variety of genres - I tried some rock, pop and...

Sennheiser PC360. Bought them mostly to have versatile headset for gaming and skype but these really got me interested in better sound in general.

I have ordered V200 from thomman and it arrived after few days in a nice box, but it was Europe international package.

I am using PC360 - open version of Sennheiser headset. After 2 years volume control is buggy - if you fiddle with it sound disappears from one of the other side of headset. I just don't adjust it and all is well. While it can be remedied by opening it and just wiring it to bypass I am not so...

For Dell system bios update is like any driver - just go to download drivers part of Dell website, let it autodetect service tag or just type it yourself and from the list choose bios. If you already have the same version or newer you should get a message that update will not be done.

I would suggest updating BIOS first and then reinstalling drivers in safe mode.   After that please check if problem appears with music in various applications (windows media player, preferably foobar with wasapi to bypass windows mixer) playing and different media like audio cd, video, mp3...

1 How is the reliability record of NAD products as it comes only with 2 y warranty?   2 Also as it has HDMI input and output would you say it is better compared to USB when connecting to PC as a source?

Has anyone got a comparison with Vioelectric V800?   I wonder if it is worth going for NAD as  it is 50% more EUR.

Have you listened to V200 as well and could compare the two paired with HD800?

I mention v200 as it is well regarded by many headfiers, pairs with many headphones and it is difficult to find bad reviews for it. Also 3y warranty is a big factor for me as well as it has tube character.   I am a bit scared by tubes themselves as they have to be warmed up and I would need...

Initially I just wanted an upgrade to pc360 but it seems it will be a costly one :) HD650 +nuforce icon hdp as a cheap and good setup was my first choice after a few weeks of reading. However after discovering more details about Hd800 technical specs really made me interested in it...

I'm mostly thinking about HD800 as they are supposed to be light and comfortable - I would use headphones 5-7 h a day.   As far as the music is concerned it is 40% classical (various symphonic composers) 40% Within Temptation, Tarja Turunen, Nightwish type of music and remainder various...

Sennheiser as a brand, after getting their PC360 headset 2 years ago which impressed me with quality and durability. At the time of creating topic I was not sure yet which one to go for but I know that upgrades will come sooner or later. ATM I leaning towards hd800 with amp + Odac and getting a...

How would V200 work with Odac DAC?

When upgrading cables would you say interconnects for AMP and DAC are more important or headphone cable?

I do not have HD650. Initially I was going to get HD800 and a cheap amd/dac but after reading a lot of opinions it seems that would be bad idea.  So for now it looks like best option would be to either go for cheap amp/dac (400) + same value headphones or wait half a year more for HD800 with...

HRT MusicStreamer II+ 2012 Ed. seems to be 350-400 new in Europe making it still quite expensive. How does it compare to HRT MusicStreamer II - its older version which is also a lot cheaper. I am looking for something to start using good amp straight away and maybe upgrade dac a year later or...

I was wondering if Nuforce Icon HDP would be good enough as a DAC for V200/lafigaro since it was praised by HeadphoneAddict - primarily as a DAC, although it doesn't have balanced output. Would it be a lot better then cheaper udac2? V800 is 1k euro as a DAC alone - provides better quality but...

After reading both hd800 and v200 threads I was under the impression they pair very well as this is tube sounding amp even if it is solid state. Also built in usb dac for v200 should be as good as cheap dacs or better so I'm leaning towards v200 with integrated usb input instead of separate...

Thanks for advice PurpleAngel, however STX (180 euro) with opamp upgrade (not sure about price in Europe) would be very close to Nuforce Icon HD in price (310) - that is why maybe I should just get it along with HD650 and wait a year till I can get HD800 with proper setup and not go for middle...

I am looking for amp/dac recommendations for HD800 or  Hd 650 in the future. I will be using foobar and flac files from PC. I want to avoid Chinese brands and DIY products. I am not going to upgrade for at least a year.  Unfortunately these 2 headphones have different character so choosing a...

Would Nuforce HDP be good enough for HD800 or should I just go with HD650?    Sadly budget constraints prevent me from getting both good headphones and amp/dac.

Have other users tried the hotfix for win sound and does it work? I am interested in getting this card and would like to be sure it will work fine.
