I realise that when using dedicated music playback software it is best to use ASIO/WASAPI to output your audio in its native state, however for general use I've just stumbled across something that has me confused. Edit: I have a Sound Blaster Omni as well as a Modi Multibit. Both are being used...

Hi, I've been thinking of buying a closed back headphone for a while and have looked at a few (NAD HP50, Oppo PM3, Sony MDR1A amongst others). Two that I keep coming back around to are those mentioned in the thread title, however... I've read reviews and user's opinions on both. The M50X is...

Hi, I currently have a Schiit Magni 2 Uber, a Little Dot Mkiii and a Sound Blaster Omni (USB sound card). My Upgrade path so far has been from a budget USB gaming headset, then the Sound Blaster with various headphones and most recently the Little Dot and Magni. While I'm finding the Little...

I've been doing some rsearch recently and have noticed something. When Googling the terms listed in the title I am greeted with many articles intended to clear up confusion newcomers may have about what the differences are. There is one problem however. It seems that everyone seems to have their...

I've recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 600 headphones. This is my first pair of open back headphones. The first pair of headphones I bought with the aim to get a good pair (not just what happened to be in the shop at the time and not too expensive or bundled free with something) was a pair...

Hi   I have two unrelated questions but as both of them are in the general help section, I saw little point in creating two separate threads.   Firstly: I have ordered a Little Dot Mkiii and a pair of HD600s. The Little Dot may also be used as a preamp. I read the user guide PDF and it...

I'm currently looking at upgrading various parts of my audio setup. I'll be getting a pair of HD600s and I've narrowed down my amp choices. Where I am struggling is with DAC selection.   I heard about the Modi multibit when it was announced, but it seems that there aren't many reviews and none...

Hi,   Over the past three years I have been steadily getting more and more into audio. I've now arrived at a point where I want to hear for myself what music "should" sound like to the extent of wanting to try and ensure bit perfect audio. I'm currently investigating different options, but the...

I have deliberately posted here as opposed to the help and recommendations thread as this is not me asking for advice. This is intended to be a discussion about something I see as being a problem in the world of headphones.   I've tried Googling and searching forums on and off for various...

Hi,   On and off I have looked at earphones on Amazon.co.uk. The majority of models (including those recommended by headphone reviewers) receive very mixed or mediocre reviews. The brand that stands out is Betron. Loads of sales and thousands of overwhelmingly positive reviews.   How come a...

Hi, I've tried searching but haven't been able to find relevant results. I have K240 MKiis. I switched the leatherette earpads for the velvet ones not long after buying them as I prefer the feel, however I have become sick and tired of de-fluffing them all the time.   I used to own a Turtle...

Hi,   I hope this isn't outside the scope of this forum. I didn't want to join another forum to ask just one question and this is the most relevant forum I'm already a member of.   I play gigs at pubs etc but my power amp/mixing head is dying. It fist gave me trouble a while back...
