Yes she's an audiophile girl :D

From what I remembrer (had the HD700 for a few weeks but sent it back) I find he400s to have a wider and open presentation Never heard HD800

After 1h of listening switching between fidelio X2 and he-400s on different type of music, here are some initial impressions : He400s is more comfortable (mainly because it has less clamp, don't want to say it will fall easily) He-400s is less sensitive than X2. not so easy to drive as...

Thx for your feedback !

I've just received my qc20i but was also considering the H1 !!! Coincidence !!! :D How would you compare them regarding bass, mids, treble, soundstage...

Just received mine fromage amazon.it Kicked my ass As previously said it is a big step forward from my Fidelio L1. Bass extension is better and in the meantime leaves more space to the upper mids so clarity is improved as well as soundstage and instrument separation without beeing analytic...

I don't understand why changing 1 meter of external cable could change something in sound signature since there are hundred of meters of thin cable in the speaker coil... That remains à mistery so that´s why I'm not a biliever too.

Where did you get them for 121£ ? Thx

@ scott-tarlow TSIG is a 'young audiophile'... ... but old audiophile loose the high perception (plus possibly other frequencies) Please show us your audiogram before writing the review :D FYI I'm part of the old category...

Jshaw6000, what do you mean with ' He is a self proclaimed audiophile ' ? You've probably been appointed 'audiophile' by the '1000$ heaphones' secret society. Lucky Guy ! TSIG thanks for your review. I really appreciate it.

Sony PFR-V1 is a great candidate for beeing one of the best since it has been designed mainly for that purpose

I'm canditate for the adoption of this baby !!!!

Amazing review Powertoold. Thank you so much for spending your time to make us understand the difference between these babies. Quote: Originally Posted by powertoold FreQ Custom IEM: Music Lovers VS. Makers - A Comparison Before the FreQ Shows, I thought the harshness of the...

My Superfreq experience: Order to delivery story: I had an email 2 weeks ago saying they received my impressions and will start building my Superfreq. According to the e-mail that should take 5 to 7 business days. Then I immediately called The Freq to specify I would like to have the “over...

So there seems to be a sound quality issue because of "overpowered" mids. There is at leat 3 headfiers having that issue who need to decrease mids by 3-5 db: * Headphoneaddict - Freqshow (MM crossover) * Mazz - Superfreq (ML crossover) * Doggiehowser - Superfreq (ML crossover) I should...
