Thanks Buddhahacker, years ago when i got into audio, i felt that i wanted accuracy over musicality every single time but that has not be the case. In fact after refining my taste, i think it's the very opposite. After listening to so many speakers that were considered more accurate and then...

Thanks for the recommend. I will check them out. :thumbsup:

It's tax time again and after paying some bills I will treat myself to a new set of headphones. A present to me for all my yearly hard work.   I currently own the Focal Spirit Classic, which I believe are fantastic cans. What I love most about them? Mid range, how well it handled all vocals,in...

True that loudspeakers can be a shared. And you're right, it doesn't really matter how much you spend, it's about the experience.  But yet some really feel that $400+ is too much for headphones.

Just saying it seem to be easier to spend more money on loudspeakers than headphones.

Spend $400 on Loudspeakers or $400 on headphones, why does it feel different? Basically they're both speakers right? Yet it seem to be hard to drop major coin on headphones.  Why?

I'd love to hear that. I think I read it's only in mobile devices, ipads, itouch, iPhone and android phones. Hopefully coming soon to home equipment as well.

Yes, that's correct no batteries. Power transformer is sold separately.

Hey Claritas, i just received my Objective2+DAC Combo yesterday. I have to say that right out of the box, i love the sound ( or better yet the absents of). Impressive! Exactly what i was looking for, better resolving power for my music and more power delivery to my cans. My headphone are quite...

Oh and one other thing, only two slight negatives, if you have fat head like me, the clamping force maybe a little strong and the memory foam pads get a little warm. Thank goodness it's winter time! Lol!

I have not heard the pros but recently purchased the classics about two weeks ago and after a very short break in period, they do have a some what warm quality to them. To my ear they have a very flat frequency response,neutral, sweet, sweet incredibly natural midrange, sparkling highs but in no...

Thank you for your advice money4me247.

Oh yeah I will check out that amp and dac you recommended. Thank you.

Merry Christmas to you too!:) Yeah on paper at 32ohms and relatively high sensitivity it should be an easy load but i feel i will benefit from the added power of an amp and the resolution of a good dac. Just a laptop as a source and I'd like to stay under $300.

ODAC is that a brand? Sorry I'm new to high performance headphones and amps/dacs.

Thanks Claritas, It's just that I'm not getting much volume from my laptop and I feel my bass performance will improve.

Now the proud owner of the Focal Spirit Classic headphones! Merry Christmas to me! Seriously need an amp/dac though. Thinking of getting the Nuforce Icon Dac. Suggestions anyone?
