(^ please "sign" the petition if interested ^)     Dear FiiO,     As you know, popularity in audiophile headphones has grown a lot in recent years.  New products are coming out all the time (including those by FiiO) to fill new roles for this growing headphone community.  However, there is...

  AKG K240 Studio | Comparison & Review So, I've tested the AKG K240s again.  I say "again" because these were actually my first decent headphone, before the AD700s even.  This was many years ago, back when I barely knew anything about headphones and wasn't aware that sites like Head-Fi...

    AKG Q701 Vs. AKG K702 65th Anniversary | Comparison & Review     Quick comparison   Q701: Faster sounding, lighter/thinner, clearer, airier, more open. Soundstage is a bit more distant and laid-back with greater separation and smaller sounding instruments.   K702 65th...

    Audio Technica ATH-TAD500 Review and Comparisons     Quick Summary   Overall a well-balanced, pleasing, and unfatiguing sounding headphone.  Pretty good genre bandwidth They have some midrange emphasis, so they're probably a nice choice for mid-range lovers. Forward sounding...

Does "imaging" mean basically the same thing as positioning?    It thought it meant how a headphone sort of visually "draws" and outlines an image of an object in a 3d space (the soundstage).  For example I'm using the word imaging to say say headphone A "images" the acoustic bass (like in a...

A couple people wanted me to post my impressions on the differences in the DACs from the FiiO E10, the HRT Music Streamer II, and the Matrix M-stage's built-in DAC.  I put a lot of hours on them over the past few days, and I will try and describe the differences as best as I can.    ...

Hi,   I just got a Fiio E10, and I'm trying to figure how to set it up in windows 7, with my music player Musicbee.    I plug it in to the computer (windows 7), it installs drivers and shows up as a device.    Then do I open up windows sound playback and right click and set the E10...

Hi,   Does anyone hear use Musicbee and have it set to to play using WASAPI?   I have a DAC coming tomorrow and I'm trying to figure how to set it up with Musicbee.   It looks like Musicbee has built in WASAPI support, so I assume I select that, and then select the DAC as the Sound...

Hi,   I took apart my KSC-75s to blow some hairs off the drivers that were making them buzz, and I think I poked the diaphragm or something (they're so thin, like paper).   I put them back together and they work fine I think, but take a look at the pic and tell me what you think.  

Hi, Does anyone know what material the AD1000 and AD2000 pads are made of? Thanks

What would be the best way to wash/clean the AD700's velour pads? Would it be to harsh to throw them in a washing machine?
