Gotta try one of the above buds

The philps slh 3300 sound alot like koss portapro.

What iem would complement ER-4's

My DT880 reads 250 and 249 ohms.

Sony 7506?? Too much mids not enough bass.

Yeah

Did you try setting thread priority to "high" on both your playback software and the drivers themselves.

The iPhone SE sounds pretty good

the whole head-fi sell their headphones (to mixing artists) should go to fs section etc.

Sub 100$ headphone are more than good enough.

Ok so I was just a bit dissatisfied with it, because the screw on adaptor left some dirty marks, but I used contact cleaner on it afterwards plus cleaned the plug, should always check the contacts on these brand-X stuff. I guess it's more of a asking "are you confident with" it :k701smile: I...

You forgot to mention the 3.5mm plug from ebay xD I have the same one on my DT's.. Do you find that plug good sounding? I think it slightly altered sq of the dt780.

I found using 10ft extension cable with some of my hp's could improve their sub bass. Worth a try. It maybe triggers the amp to push more power.

I didn't look up all the photos yet. Anyone fitted DT1350 or similar earpads on these, I just find them a little large with the stock pads.

I bought the 381F thinking it would mean "flat" model. It read on the package "front row" which in other words is "sound in your face". The midrange and hi-freq speak is pronounced on this model. basic model sounded scooped, but more hifi in comparison. , if you boost the treble peak even...

I have my Sony's burning in atm . going for 200hrs on this pair. besides they're going for sale soon. I also have put my AKG pads in a pad flattener machine. (two pieces of wood and a 20lbs pc.) I call that "break in".

Those look really great. A bit like Beyer HD250. I'm pretty sold on 8.35 or at least try a pair.

I would try O2 amp, then a cheap dac will do.

For a second question, try it and if it's not loud enough for you then you may want to consider adding FiiO A3.

Have you heard 7506? I like it but it doesn't seem to respond well enough to amplification, wonder if 7520 is any different in this regards. I like the Sony but am considering DT250. 7506 ticks the sound signature box though, just not enough clarity..

When my audio drivers crashed, I could hear the fan of my laptop spinning through the firewire interface. (sounded like someone mic'd up the internals of the laptop.) Also some people think that digital audio receivers have sound differences.   I would imagine most macs to be noise free.

You seem quite happy with that setup, I wish I could say the same about mine. Also bought MDR-V6's just to notice that they sound better out of my laptop soundcard, if you are looking for similar flavour in closed headphones I'd check them out.    Now i'm a bit confused what I should do, I...
