    Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread

    Well, did an 180 and decided to give the MDR-1AM2 a go. Bought a Fiio K3 to be able to use the balanced cable and hi res flacs and dsd. I did a comparison with my MDR-1R and have to say that yes, it is more warm and has way more bass compared to the 1R. But it is also more clear and you can...

    Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread

    Thanks again! So I can write off the XM3 as well - man I really hate headphones. Way to much option available and too many variables (amp, dac, cable and so on).

    Upgrading my pc's audio ... Needing some advice

    I'm kinda in your same situation. Only that my options are the D2X, Titanium HD and Essence STX. And when it comes to headphones, I'm looking mainly at the Sony MDR-1R and the AKG K550 (has to be a closed headphone, otherwise my gf is going to annoy me because of sound leakage). While the...

    ++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum

    Hi guys! Just signed up but been reading on head-fi for a few weeks now. I'm looking for my first audiophile headphones and need your help to decide which one I should get.
