    Best earphones for classical, unamped?

    Hello there. Looking for some help. Currently using Beyerdynamic dt660 and I'm a little underwhelmed. Sources are Galaxy S6 and iPod nano. I have no interest in using DACs and amps. I listen mostly to vocal and orchestral work. Thanks!

    AudioQuest Dragonfly or something similarily priced to go between MacBook and amp?

    Hey there!   I have a MacBook Pro and am getting a CI Audio VHP2 and Sennheiser HD650 for my office setup.   Would a Dragonfly be a good choice of DAC or should I get something else in the same price range?   Thanks in advance! :)

    Another DAC question

    I had my mind set on buying a Rega DAC. Always liked their CD players.   But since I'm using the DAC with a laptop, I've decided I'm better off with getting a new Mac plus a cheaper DAC.   Of course the first one to come to mind is the Apogee Duet, especially since it now costs around...

    What are the top recommendations for gym phones up to $100-150 these days?

    Was using Porta-pros and KSC-75s for years, then they all died and I also decided that open phones for the gym = express ticket to destroying one's hearing. Then I was using Creative Ep-630. Then started using IEMs that came with my Nokia 6600 clamshell phone that were UNBELIEVABLY good. Now the...

    Cheapest DAC with Meier Opera-like performance?

    Hi,   I'm looking for something similar to the Opera because that's what I used to have and love. So I'm looking for something in the same level of performance. I don't want to spend much money, so... I only need the DAC, though.   If there are topics covering that or somewhere you guys...

    Is there a better value than the Grado SR-225?

    Is there any headphone that can be bought new for a similar price that represents a better value than the SR-225? I havent been keeping up with headphones lately. Will be using it unamped for games, movies, music... anything at my GFs place. Thanks in advance

    Looking for a standalone DAC as good/better than the Opera

    Since I don't need the amp in the Opera anymore, I think I'm letting it go and getting a new DAC. What should I look into? I really like this DAC and I'm looking for at least the same performance level, of course an upgrade would be better Thanks in advance!

    Which are the current choices for isolating phones for gym use?

    I used to be really happy with my PortaPros and Sansa Clip, but now my gym has become WAY too noisy for the PortaPros, and I definitely need some isolation. I'd REALLY appreciate something similar to the PortaPros with isolation. I really dislike the Creative EP-630 and all the other copies...

    Am I going insane? As I was just about to sell my DT-990...

    Which I used to think I didn't like, I have just found out I love them and it's my favorite phone right now. I used to describe them as hollow sounding and headache indulcing, and the fact that unless they were too loud they didn't sound like the music was there at all. Now its precise bass...

    Looking for a Phono Pre-amp as an upgrade to my Rotel RA02 stage

    Would just about anything be a vast upgrade to it? I think it's rather thin and harsh sounding. Looking at Cambridge Azur 640P, Yaqin 12Mb, Bellari, Haggerman Buggle, Bottlehead Seduction... etc. Obviously, the easier to get, the better. But I still want to make sure I have a downright...

    Wireless headphones for movie viewing?

    I'm looking for wireless headphones for watching movies during the night. Headphones with cable are, unfortunately, inconvenient. Any suggestion for a decent wireless phone? (does that even exist?) Thanks

    HUGE doubt: Apogee Duet or Headamp Pico?

    This is going to be my only DAC/AMP for quite some time, so this is a pretty hard choice... Basically: are their DAC and amp sections about equivalent? I don't mind the Duet being restricted to the MAC, that's what I'll use anyway. Anyone owned/heard both? Headphones: DT-990, SR-325...

    A DAC as good as the Opera WITHOUT an amp?

    Any ideas of models I should look into? I'd rather use optical than USB, if possible. I think I'd rather not buy the opera amplifier along with the DAC. The least expensive the better, but of course quality comes first. Thanks!

    $100-150 upgrade to EP-630 (for gym use)

    Any reccomendations for something not on the too steep side that's a considerable upgrade to the Creative EP-630s? I don't want anything ultra expensive because it's for gym use. Thanks

    Do DT-990s leak too much or am I listening too loud?

    Everytime I take my headphones off I can go to the bathroom and still listen to my music. That's somewhat impressive. I'm using a Headfive to power them, and the volume pot is usually at 50% (12 o'clock). Am I on my way to being deaf? Thanks

    Which of the "top" open phones leak less sound?

    Right now I have DT-990s which leak an absurd amount, Grados SR-225 which do the same and HD-580s which are not as bad. Any solution? Thanks

    Can I use my MBP Audio out + Head5 to test/choose between phones?

    Or will the end result be completely distorted by the source I am using? I just got DT-990s and thought I should also get K-701s and HD-650s to test the three of 'em and find out which one I like the best. But this is the only source I'll for at least 2-3 more months. Only other source I...

    HD-600 or 650 for Corda Opera?

    Okay, so I'm facing this dilema: 180 Euros for HD-600s or 280 Euros for HD-650 to pair up with a Corda Opera? Is the 100 Euro difference worth it? I'm 100% positive that I am a Senn 580/600/650, ever since I've been far from my 580s my life has made no sense. Beyer, Grado, AT... nothing will...

    Question for european head-fiers.

    I'd like to ask you guys, is it worth ordering from the US? Are there customs to be paid once the items reach Europe? I live in Germany. The prices are so incredibly cheaper in dollars that I was thinking that it might be worth ordering from overseas. Thanks

    Help me choose closed phones that will suit both home and on-the-go use!

    So, I'm looking for new phones to use portably with my Cowon iAudio 7 and at home, with my MacBook Pro and an Opera. I would like them to be as small as possible, since I'll be using them out a lot. Thanks!
