Make sure the asus stu is grounded. I had a slight buzz when the asus wasnt plugged into my laptop via USB. My laptop had to be powered from AC to make the Asus grounded. In battery mode the Problem was still there

What about the asus stx?

Hello guys, I ordered a pair of focus-a pads from head-direct tuesday last week.  My question is how long does it take for them to actually ship the pads ? It still shows the "paid" status.   P.S. I'm living in Europe.

Hello, anyone knows if the fiio x3 supports replay gain ?

Hello, i want to use the Asus STU as a DAC only. Do i need to set the volume switch bypass or is it possible to use the preamp volume knobs to feed the signal to an amp ?

Well, i would say the beyerdynamics have obviously more treble. They are famous for their treble peak. And the sennheiser have something like a mid bass bump but that depends on how much bass you want and they dont have the sub bass extension like the DT 880.

Have you ever heard the HD 600 and the DT 880 side by side ? I think they sound very different and have different strenghts.

They are both great sounding headphones to start with. What most people will say is that the Sennheiser HD 600 are closer to neutral but they have a little midbass bump and the HD 650 are a bit bassier than the HD 600. And the treble is a bit tilted down on the 650. Both are smooth sounding...

Just wanted to say hi :) I am just trying to search and get my audio nirvana at the cost of my wallet T.T

One thing you can do is if you have an ipod or iphone try to plug your headphones on them. If it sounds a lot clearer and you have less bass than on your laptops output than your impedance on your laptop is too high. If it sounds the same i guess the headphones just are not for you.

What is the output impedance of your laptop ? The Sennheiser HD 500 series do not like high impedance outputs. It should be prefereble under 6 Ohms. Anyway if you want to try something less bassy look for akg 701 used or new depends on what the price is in your country.
