Could you elaborate on what makes the Aivas good for metal? I'm on the fence about them as I heard the bass is not very prominent and doesn't extend very well into the sub bass, do you have a different experience?

Hey again, I'm looking to finally upgrade my current set up. After doing some reading it became apparent that my current amplifier will not 100% fulfill my needs, and so I decided to make an upgrade on that end too. Currently using the M6 AMP/DAC combo, and my question is whether or not it's...

Hey guys, I'm back in the headphone game after a very long time, mainly because of all the hype around the new planar drivers that is being implemented in cans like the Aiva and M570 (which I got my eyes on). Issue is my current amp; I'm using an SMSL M6 that has a output impedance of 10 ohms...

Bought the 900s roughly 6 months ago from a fellow member. I love everything about them except the somewhat low quality foam tips. I'm looking for something that will resemble my SE215 tips as much as possible. My main issues with the stock tips are; length (would prefer something a bit...

MD IGN: iKnowThings   HiFiMAN HE-560 or Grado PS500/e would be sweet! :P

    Thanks, I'll look into those.

So I looked into the MSR7 and they actually look a-lot like what I was looking for. So ATM they're my first option, thanks for that call. Also mentioning that I'm also open for an IEM option so if you know any IEM that might fit me, go ahead.

Umm considering the fact I'm going to feed the headphones using my OPO I don't think DT series will be any good (also not really portable). NAD would've been a very good option. I tested them around 6 months ago at a local store and while the sound is astonishing for the price they're proabably...

Hey boys, so after owning the Sennheiser Momentum for roughly 2 years I'm looking to upgrade them. My budget is around  200-250$, and I don't mind buying a refrubished or pre-owned pair. While I did like the Momentums, I found their treble lacking some sparkle (an overall feeling of "laid...

Good thing it's detachable and you can replace it

It's 2014 and we now have K551

Could you post a pic? Really interested in this..

Up to you really, I usually avoid buying new cans/amps before trying them out since everyone hears different.

It counts unless your country doesn't allow it for some reason.

I don't have a lot of experience with them since they're my friend's but they do sound marvelous with the Magni Modi stack.

Sound like what you need is K712

D2K might be what you're looking for if you can find them at the price. Only problem I can think of is their somewhat poor isolation, but other than that they're fantastic for the price.

Get him to sell it for 350$

DT880 IMO

IMO what they really lack is air (both in soundstage and treble extension), so I cant really recommend them for classic music.  Look into Soundmagic HP100 (150?), I had a chance to audition them a few months ago and think they'll fit your needs.

I'm an X owner of the H6 and I have about 20 hours of experience with my friend's M50. They're very different HPs; H6 are very neutral with a slight recessed midrange while the M50 have elavated bass and a more pronounced midrange. Unlike the M50, the H6 scales a lot with a good source but still...
