    Looking for a cheap amp in order to improve the Cad Audio MH510's

    So I have whittle down my choice to either the Topping NX1s or the Fiio K1. I like the fact the K1 has no battery, plus it's also a DAC but the NX1s seem to have slightly more positive feed back online, but I'm not sure if that is partly because the K1 is being compared to a higher class of...

    Looking for a cheap amp in order to improve the Cad Audio MH510's

    Last year I picked up a pair of the Cad Audio MH510 but was very underwhelmed by their sound, even compared to my old Monoprice 8323's. I was considering getting a new set of headphones but an user on here was in the exact same position as me but found the Cad Audio's were greatly improved with...

    Headphone (Budget) recommendations?

    Sorry for the bump I meant to give my impressions of the Cad Audio Sessions a lot sooner but I was ill for a few weeks and only started using them extensively over the last few days.   Firstly, I'm really happy with the build quality and comfort levels, the longest I have worn them was the...

    Headphone (Budget) recommendations?

    My pair won't arrive until Tuesday or Wednesday, so I'm a bit worry now after reading your experiences Dkline.   One of the things that drew me to them was that they look quite comfortable, which would make a welcome change from the monoprice 8323's, I especially like the fact they came with...

    Headphone (Budget) recommendations?

    Sound like we are similar situations (see the thread I made yesterday).   As I said in that thread I ended up ordering the Cad Audio MH510's which I got for around $50 on amazon UK, they were the last in stock though and the other colours were nearly twice the price. Looking at amazon.com it...

    Monoprice or Superlux

    So in the end I ordered a set of the CAD Audio MH510's, hadn't notice them on sale beforehand. They look comfy, with decent build quality and the reviews I read are pretty positive, got them for €15 cheaper than the 685's too. Hope I haven't made a mistake.

    Monoprice or Superlux

    I have a nasty habit of breaking headphone cables, plus I have a dog who has chewed through a couple of usb cables in the past, so I probably need the extra protection of a removable cable! Thanks of the info regarding the tekstar's, think I will rule them out, will go for the 685's or the A1's...

    Monoprice or Superlux

    Even Philips? To be honest, I had never heard of Superlux or Takstar until a couple of days ago, but from reading reviews and threads on here it's clear they have a great reputation but I would have thought the Philips should be able to match them, at least given the fact the A1's usually retail...

    Monoprice or Superlux

    Yeah build quality and comfort isn't great but I can't complain about getting two years out of them given the price I paid.   I was edging towards the 685's but have had my head turn by the Philips A1 pro's, which I can get for under €50. They are on ear rather than over ear which is making me...

    Monoprice or Superlux

    Hi folks,   My Monoprice 8323's broke yesterday after two years of constant use, so I'm in the market for a budget set of cans. My requirements are the headphones must be closed and have a detachable cable, after doing some research I have limited my choice between three pairs,   - Monoprice...

    New Member Introductions thread

    Hello, I'm not an audiophile but have found this site very useful at times over the years, I finally joined in order to to get some advice about which set of headphones I should go for next. Since I'm sorely lacking in expertise when it comes to audio equipment I can't contribute much to the...
