    Which IEM should I get: Moondrop Aria Snow vs. Final E3000 vs. FiiO JH3/FD1

    Hello, I'm interested in these 3 IEMs, Moondrop Aria Snow, Final E3000 and FiiO JH3 or FD1, as they come with various recomendations and are in the same price range where I am. Or they are actually 4 with the Fiios and I don't know which Fiio would be better either. I like neutral or...

    Can cigarette smoke and cleaner vapors affect sensitive Headphone membranes?

    I once bought a used Sennheiser HD600, the whole box of which had a very strong cigarette smoke smell after opening, even the pads on the headphone itself smelled clearly of smoke at first, but this went away after a while. I always wondered since the beginning if this could have affected the...

    Alternative to Beyerdynamic DT 880

    I consider the Beyerdynamic DT 880 one of the best options under 300€/$, however its roughness is a serious problem that makes tracks which accidentally use the areas where the peaks are in a melodic or other way nearly unlistenable, or at least much worse than with a more neutral presentation...

    Best under 300€: Neutral, clear, crisp, good imaging/separation

    Hello, I've long been looking for a new open or half-open headphone. The AKG 702, Beyerdynamic 880 don't do it for me (though the latter comes close to being good enough). Sennheiser is what I've had more or less all my life and it generally doesn't do it for me either. Philips is kind of...

    Hifiman HE400(S/I): one tier above the AKG K712 and Philips Fidelio X2

    Hello, so it seems the Hifiman is often recommended as a more "high fidelity" or quality headphone over those other two. Is this correct? And if so, would you say, it has to be specific model (S or I) for that?

    AKG K712 vs Philips Fidelio X2

    I mentioned this comparison in another thread, but I thought maybe I should open an own thread for this so more could give their input. Which one is simply better for the money, which one has more detail, better imaging, is more natural, more fun - how "fun" (natural etc.) is each one...

    Sound Magic HP200 vs. Fostex T50RP MK3 (unmodded)

    So, which one is better, which would you recommend? I like neutral, unveiled, not too dark sound (nor too sibilant, but I think dark is generally more tolerated), good soundstage and imaging.

    AKG K702 vs. German Maestro GMP 400

    Hello, so I've read the GermanMaestro GMP 400 is a really underrated headphone and someone somewhere else said they are better than the AKG K702. Be that as it may, would you accidentally be able to recommend one over the other in direct comparison?

    Best Headphones for up to 150€/bucks

    Hello, first off, there clearly might be some variations in prices by region, which is why I'm fine with just getting a general guideline if you are not a European. I've had a Sennheiser HD 600 for several years, and often had to replace the cables because they broke easily. Now I would have...

    external sound solution for laptop and Sennheiser HD595

    So I'm basically looking for an external audio solution for my laptop and Sennheiser HD 595 (50 Ohms) headphones. I was originally looking for external soundcards, but I've been noticing more and more mention of so-called DACs and Amps. I still don't know what DAC actually means (maybe...
