Decided to overhaul my audio setup. Upgraded from Philips X2HR to Sennheiser HD 560s. Love it. Miles better all round. Currently using Fiio K3 (V1) with gain set to high. Wondering if it's worth upgrading? Volume wise, K3 is fine for music, but for films, sometimes I have to max it out. Also...

So far I've tried 3 pairs and they all suffered form serious problems. 1st pair had volumes issues. The left bud starts to quiet after an hour or so of use. 2nd pair had charing issues. Right bud wouldn't charge properly. 3rd pair (current pair) switching from stereo to mono at random...

Finally got my hands on the H1 and I'm loving every bit of it except the fit. Comply tips work the best, but spending another 20 quid for tips seems silly (especially when they only last for few months). So could someone please recommend me a decent tips or cheaper foam alternative? Thanks.

Had the SHE3590 for over a year and on their own, they are pretty decent budget solution. Few weeks ago I was playing with some ear-tips I had laying around and ended up combining the SHE3590 with MEE S6's Triple-Flange ear-tips. The end result was stunning to say the least. High...

I currently own SoundBlaster Z with Nicheon FG capacitors and it's paired with Phonak Audeo PFE-112 (Grey Filter). The 112s are pretty awesome IEMs and I want to get the most out em'. Given my maximum budget is £150, would it be better to stick with SBZ or switch to a DAC (such as Fiio Alpen-E17...

I'm in need of a DAC with S/PDIF (input) and headphone amp for Blu-Ray and console gaming. I'll be paring it with PFE-112 (with grey filters), so it has to be high-quality.   ATM, both the PS3 and 360 are connected to the SoundBlaster Z via TOSLINK. The sound quality is phenomenal, but it...

I already have the PFE012, which I use indoors for critical listening (as well as for movies and games). I was going to get another pair of PFE012 to use outdoors, but I use the Sansa Clip Zip, which doesn't fully exploit its true potential. I looked at various low-cost alternatives with similar...

I've been playing with it for an hour or so and so far I'm very impressed with the sound quality (better than the X-Fi XM I had before). I wasn't expecting such detail and clarity after the Recon3D fiasco. Built quality is also superb, but the card is filled with G-Luxon caps. I'm not sure how...

I am looking to replace my Sansa Clip Zip with a better DAP/DMP in few weeks. The Zip is an awesome little player but its soundstage is too narrow for my taste.  Wish I can easily mod the Zip to increase LR separation, but guess that’s not possible. So I just need a player that has wide...

I've finally managed to accumulate some additional credits to buy me a mid-range/high-end IEM. I've tried several low-end to mid-range in-ears in the past and was disappointed with the results. If you'd like, feel free scan through my history.     Since I'm in the UK, I don't have the...

I was out of the headphone market from the day I bought the HA-FXC50, but yesterday, I saw the d-JAYS for £36.99  and it's too tempting to ignore.   After searching long and hard, I've found multiple articles and reviews praising the d-JAYS. However, there are some disagreement in regards to...

I am aware of the multiple versions of the EX082s and audible variance in quality (unfortunately), but the version I have at the moment is just marvelous (the one on the right). After ~30 hours of burn-in (pink), the lows, mids and the highs opened-up and created an enveloping soundstage...

Has anyone fully mapped the functions of the Service Menu found on the A7 and A8 series? There seem to be a few useful options, but I'm too afraid to mess-up my beloved A829.

It has been a while since I've posted here After a long and futile search, I ended up with the Philips SHS8000 (sad I know). But it wasn't all in vain. I accessed the service menu of my A829 and configured bass and treble to my liking. Unfortunately, I couldn't fix its overpowering mids...

One of the well known store in the UK is selling the A829 for the price of the S693 (£99.99) Before it runs out of stock, could you please answer the following so I can order it ASAP. Out of two, which has the best: Soundstage? Lows, Mids and Highs? Over-all definition? WMA performance...

After long and tiresome search, I've finally found my outdoor HDPs For the record, I've had the Sony's new EX300 (£30), Goldring GX200 (£18), EP630 (£NA), Klipsch Custom 2 (£50) and I can safely the EP830 takes the cake. I've also had the pleasure of testing the HD485, HD595 and the...

I’ve been very impressed by the A816, but I’m hoping the newer models will sound even better. If that's the case, which model would you recommend? BTW, I’ll only be using the player to listen to music, nothing else. Thx for reading ^-^

Play.com (UK) : Goldring GX200 Hi-Fi Stereo Earphones (Silver) : Electronics - Free Delivery I've just ordered my pair after reading this review For that price, I really can't go wrong....or can I? Hmm LOL

Hi again After being disappointed by the Sony EX300, I have increased the budget to £50 and found these three on Amazon UK. In terms of isolation, comfort and sound quality, which one of these would you recommend? Amazon.co.uk: Sennheiser CX 95 - High End Noise Isolating...

I've made a thread earlier regarding the Sony EX300 and EX500, but after carrying out a through research, I've decided I'd be better off with other brands (primarily due to price vs performance and the lack of information regarding noise isolation). Basically, I just need a pair of affordable...

I am looking to upgrade from MDR-EX082, (which came included with the Sony A816), and I came across these two. The EX500 retails at £50 and the EX300 retails at £30 here in UK. My query is, is the EX500 worth the extra £20, and are there any better alternatives for the price? BTW...

Hey guys I had the X-Fi XtremeMusic since January 2006 and TBS, I loved it to death. However, since upgrading to Vista x64, like most of you, I lost the love LOL. Although Creative’s recent attempt did improve the sound quality in number of ways, the stability has taken one step backward...

I’m in the market for a new headphone, and I found two excellent candidates but need your help finalizing it. The headphone will mainly be used for movies, so distortion free bass is a must. SE-A1000 Pioneer Headphones - Audio - Video Sennheiser USA - HD555 - Product Details I...
