A simple question, I have one of those dac/amp combos (dacmagic xs), and I feel its power is limited in driving my headphones (Fidelio x2). It gets to high volumes but dynamics, soundstage, air, and instrument seperation arent spot on. I thought it doesnt hv enough power to drive the X2, which...

As far as I know, open headphones will outperform closed ones in a given price. In my experience, open headphones sound more natural and real, and vocals particularly benefit from that. However, I have never owned or auditioned any hifi closed headphones and I cant compare them to mid-fi open...

Having had both the ath-m50 and the t51p, and being perfectly happy with both, yet craving an upgrade, I thought of the Shure 1540. I just dont know what to expect from the Shures in comparison to those two headphones or to the momentums that I owned for a while? Anyone with any thoughts please?

I have flac files I want to transfer and play in my iphone. itunes doesnt seem to allow this. I downloaded the free flac player+. It is asking me to do a sync between the app and the computer. Does anyone know what that means or how to do it? Or if you just know any way i can play these flacs on...

I have had 3 headphones so far, the ath-m50, the dt-1350, the fidelio l1. Those were good enough for me before I auditioned the t51i yesterday. I was very impressed by the t51i that i now consider them a solid improvement over the other three ones. What i liked about them is that they have...

I have had the dt-1350 for a year now. Their pads need to be replaced. I thought i would replace them with the new t51p ear pads, but i dunno where to find them online. If you can help, thank you very much!

A month ago, I bought the dacmagic xs. It's my first dedicated dac/amp. I pair it up with the ath-m50s, not the best combination I feel. Anyway, I have thought of buying a high-end headphones, something I dont need to upgrade from for the next few years, and I have thought of the beyerdynamic...

Been searching for a while to find direct sonic Comparison between both headphones, but cant find any. Has anyone owned both? I have the ath-m50 and want to buy the monentums, but dunno what to expect.

I am buying one of these. Thinking of the fiio, but if the dragonfly has better sound refinement hooked up with headphones like the ath-m50, dt-1350 or the t51p, then I will definitely go for it.

I bought the m-50s two years ago for $130. They have been good headphones albeit lacking some clarity and punch. Two years ago, the fidelios were $300. Now the fidelios are $125, making me think they are a steal at this price range. I am asking if the fidelio l1 is an upgrade over the m-50 in...

I am looking forward to upgrading to the focals. Coming from the dt-1350, I am craving even more resolution and detail, and more attack or dynamics. Will the focals provide that more than the dt-1350?

Which set-up would sound better? ath-m50 through fiio e07k or the dt-1350 straight out of galaxy s3, iphone 4s or a macbook pro? I am trying to have a better idea on the importance of an external dac/amp. Thank you!

Hi everyone I haven't owned many headphones, so I lack experience and I am asking for advice. I had the ath-m50, but then I upgraded to the dt-1350. It was a very good upgrade. The dt-1350s have a lot more resolution leaving the m50s sound veiled in comparison.They also have better attack when...

So which one sounds better paired with a laptop with both dac and amp engaged? I dont know which one to get. My main concern is the sound quality. I will use the ath-m50s with it. Please help!

I own both headphones. I bought the dt-1350s as an upgrade to the m-50s. It was an overall nice upgrade in the sound quality, but I am craving a lot more of an upgrade this time. What headphone would seem as a logical upgrade to both of the headphones mentioned above? I have a budget of $500-600.

I am running FLAC music through my laptop and my Galaxy S3 device. Comparing both, the S3 has a much cleaner sound output. My laptop generates noise with the music I am playing, especially when playing FLAC files. I use both VLC and Foobar 2000 to play music. Although Foobar generates less noise...

I have had my ATH-M50s for six months, and my Beyerdynamic DT-1350 for a month. They both sound great! Anyway, I am thinking of moving ahead to a high-end headphone (the sennheiser hd700). In my upgrade, I am searching for something closer to the big sound produced by speakers. My question is...

So I have been using the ATH-M50 for the last couple of months, and man, they are a great set of headphones. Last week I decided to look for more portable cans, and also i looked for some upgrade in the sound quality. I went for the DT-1350 because of the very good reviews it's been having. I...

I am not sure if I am reviving an older discussion, I have tried to search in the forum for an answer to my question, but I couldn't find one yet. Well, I have been listening to music with my ATH-M50s through my laptop or sometimes my iphone. I have never listened to a quality DAC, so I don't...

As the title says, I have been trying to find a good on-ear headphones to use directly through my ipod or mac (unamped)! I already own the ATH-m50 which I like very much, but I can't use them outside since they are a bit huge. I prefer the new cans to be closed since I want to mute the external...

Do you think buying the GR07 will be an upgrade from the ATH-m50 concerning sound quality only? I listen to music from my laptop or iphone 4 through Fiio 6 plz help!

Dear all,  Could you please help me decide between these two concerning sound quality? Which do you enjoy more in listening? Which ones are crisp with more lovely sound for casual listening at home through ipod or laptop? " For me i still can use the Fiio 6 if that helps any of them in any...

Guys! What's the difference between normal full-sized headphones and professional studio monitor headphones. Am I getting something better when I buy professional studio monitor headphones as a normal user. I have been thinking of buying The Audio-Technica ATH-M50 for normal day to day use...

Guys! I know I am comparing between two different kinds of earphones, but I have a simple question. Which one of these sounds better, Sennheiser HD280 Pro or  Klipsch X10 when you listen to them directly from a laptop?

Guys! I am new here and I am in need of your help. Lemme get straight to it, I have Klipsh s4 earbuds and I am quiet happy with them. Now, however, I have been looking for a big step-up earbuds. I have been thinking of Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10. Guys, do you think I will get a worthy improvement...
