Ok so here's the thing. I've been dabbling somewhat in higher~ish quality audio for a while now so let me first of all state what equipment I use most of the time. Mostly I listen music on the computer, and I'm using a Asus Xonar One -> Little Dot MKIII -> HD650. And for a while now I've been...

Hello Head-fi!   I've been the proud owner of an Asus Essence One for a while now and even though it has always worked perfectly there is one thing that bothers me about it though. Whenever I plug in my headphones directly into the Essence One I just can't turn up the volume beyond 10% (if...

Hello hello!   For the longest time I've been using an Asus Xonar Phoebus which I ended up replacing due to it's technical problems. The thing I really really liked about that card though was the Dolby Home theater integration which allowed me to tinker with the sound. Anyway, I ended up...

Hi,   At the moment I'm using a Asus Xonar Phoebus with HD650s. This card sounds quite nice but I've had it up to here *hand goes over the moon* with this card. It causes random bluescreens, issues with anti-cheat in games and the drivers tend to crash for no reason at all. The...

Hi,   I've had my FiiO E17 for a while now and sadly it's been breaking down on me :( I'll add some pictures to clearify what's going on but basically the headphone jack seems to be to... expanding or something lol? When I first got it I would just plug in headphones and that was that...

Hai, I've been experiencing some weird issue with my brand new cans. Whenever there pressure on the headband the right side stops working. Is this normal? Because I only have a 14 day RMA date and if this isn't normal I'll have to send em back within 3 days from now. I know the headband is...

Hellow Head-fi!   I hope you guys don't mind me making an account here just to pick your brains  Anyways, For the longest time I've been using Sennheiser HD 598s (those ugly beige/brown ones) and overall have been very disappointed with them. There are 2 reasons why I dislike them.  ...
