Just got my Momentums a couple of days ago. I didn't listen to em the first night, I just put on the IsoTek "Full System Enhancer & Rejuvenation Disc" on my CD Player set repeat, hooked up the Momentums up to the E9 and set a mid level volume and let em burn in for about 12 hours straight (I do...

I currently have a FiiO E7 which I use as a DAC+Amp for my Audio-Technica M50's (even though an amp isn't really necessary on them).   I'm about to get a better pair of headphones and likely land on a DT 880 (250 ohm), DT 990 (250ohm), or HD 650. From what I understand my E7 won't be...

As the title suggests, I'm in the market for a new DAC/AMP.   Of course, there a couple features to consider, such as: 1. It has to be portable, no A/C power for this cookie. 2. I would prefer it to not be battery powered, or if so, the battery to be removable 3. Price is an issue, I...

I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned before but I couldn't find any fixes. I noticed that my E7 was working great a few months back when I first bought it, but now I'm beginning to notice that more and more often audio is beginning to cut in and out like a skipping record and as a result I...

I just purchased a FiiO E7 portable headphone amp/ DAC from Amazon today (no I didnt get the updated FiiO E07K because I found a much cheaper offer for the E7) but I wanted to know your guys thoughts and opinions on the sound and build quality.  I have read conflicting reviews on the durability...

Helllo all head-fi'ers i just got the dt770 pro 80ohm and i am really dissapointed! First im like these shoud be good for bass... so i tried listening to basstronics bass i love you, finding out my siberia v2 had more "punch" than these high end headphones? well i notice the soundquality...

I recently got a Shure SE535 (Special Edition) when I was in Hong Kong. It's my first truly high-end audio device. Before I had a Sennheiser HD 595.   The problem that I have with these earphones is that I can hear a very noticeable and annoying hiss when I connect them directly to an iPod...

I recently installed a Nexus 7 2013 into my Altima and everything is working great... except the audio. Before the audio in my car was pretty good, even with stock speakers and a mild EQ in the old Kenwood (HX418) radio that was installed previously. Right now the routing is as follows   Nexus...

Hello Head Fi'ers, I am looking for some recommendations for my HP100's. I enjoy listening to EDM, pop, metal etc. I have looked at some other similar threads and reviews, however most of those seem to recommend far more expensive amps, or too many to choose from! I have been looking at the...

One of the earpads on my AKG K450s has started to peel away exposing the underlying foam.  The longer of the two cables has now frayed and only plays one channel.  So, I'm wondering: should I attempt to repair them, or just replace them?  Suggestions for replacements are welcomed.  Something...

Well... I can spend $400 on headphones and stuff. So I already know I am getting DNA On-Ear Headphones. Which is $200, so $200 left and my remaining choices are: - Another pair of DNA On-Ear Headphones $200 - Beats Pill $200 - Beats Solo HD $200 - DNA In-Ear Headphones and urBeats $100 + $100 -...

Whats up guys Im new at this forum, and well Im thinking on buying a pair of headphones, but I DO NOT WANT BEATS, and I wanted your recommendations, because Im not capable of trying the headphones because there is not a lot of variety to pick in my city and I can only get beats in my city.  ...

What is the smallest most effective portable amp for under or around 80 bucks, gonna be using it with the ue 6000 and a rockboxed ipod 5.5 30gb

Hi   I got $90 refund from amazon because of a FiiO E7 with defective OLED. And now that prices lowered I was going to buy a FiiO E7K. But I found out that there are some USB DACs with microphone in. And since I just use my E7 with my laptop, which also has a crappy microphone, I'm...

Need your help please.   I'm looking for a portable amp for my ipod 7g. I use it for listening to trance. Since I use iTunes they are 256 aac encoded. I will be using them with IEMs and portable headphones like (1R & HD25-1ii)   The amp should be the same size and thickness as the ipod...

Hello, so i´m going to buy dt 990 pro but currently i only own Steelseries USB Soundcard. So my question is how will they sound without amp ? I´m going to buy amp/new soundcard at my birthday 3.3. Will the sound be alot better with amp? Thank you

Hi guys,   I'm only starting my life as an audiophile and I have some noob questions to ask. I recently purchased some DT 880 Pros (250Ohm) second hand recently and I'm really happy with them, but I do not have an amp yet. When I plug the headphones directly into my laptop (via 3.5mm) and...

  From this, Ive come to this conclusion of items to get to seriously revamp all these.   Fiio E7 USB dac/amp, $74 Debating beyerdynamics DT880s ($238) vs Audio Technica A900X, $244 Ipod L11 LOD cable, $9.49 (cheapest LOD cable on amazon)   My main points of contention about if...

So my E7 came in today. I excitedly connected it with the ipod dock cable to my Iphone 3gs and began to turn it up, and up and up and at 60 it stopped and was no louder than my Iphone itself. I plugged back and forth between amp and Iphone and if there was any difference in volume it was slight...

This is my 2nd time posting about this ...   I got a AKG K551.   I first got the Fiio E7 USB DAC and it made no difference than the sound coming from my Alienware M11x R1.   Now I sold the Fiio E7 and hoping to get better sound ... I bought a Schiit Magni and Modi combo and again...

I absolutely love my D2000's sound signature, but they are pretty much the polar opposite of portable.  Is there a circum-aural closed-back headphone that is close to their sound?   Some likely suspects? V-Moda M-100 Ultimate Ears UE6000/UE900 Sennheiser Momentum   If anyone has...

I've had these Etymotic ER-4's for something like 7 years now. The little plastic shaft on one of the earpieces snapped. It was my fault, not the headphones. I'm not that bummed out about it, because the sound signature never really appealed to me. They always felt super dry, analytical and...i...

I've realized that the internal DAC on my Macbook pro is actually quite good. But I want something that I can use with my other devices. I don't want to sacrifice performance.    My Headroom Total Bithead sounds inferior to my Mac.   Is something like a Fiio E-17 going to outperform the...
