Is the WA7d a good upgrade over the m9xx?
To be honest, I'm perfectly satisfied with the m9xx as it's pretty balanced and clear. However, we all know 'satisfied' only cuts it for a while before we're looking at 'what's next?' lol. I'd prefer something with a bit more bass and ability to bring out female vocals like in EDM. Something to...- bl42ed0

Is the WA7d a good upgrade over the m9xx?
I'm currently using the m9xx as my daily dac/amp but the wa7d is on massdrop for a decent buy. Is it worth the upgrade to the wa7d? I'm currently using the m9xx with: -HE-560 -TH-X00 -LCD2v2 Thanks!- bl42ed0

What is considered the "Hi-Fi Trio"?
Really? They all sound different enough to warrant keeping all three without needing a different type of sound signature for you? It seems like each would be an upgrade from the others.- bl42ed0

Rank the Headphones that You Own.
This post helps me a lot as I'm deciding which one to purchase next. How would you describe vocals, specifically female vocals, in regards to both cans? I listen to mostly electronic music and I've found the HE-500 more enjoyable than the 560 and the LCD2. oh yeah almost forgot.. HE-500...- bl42ed0

What is considered the "Hi-Fi Trio"?
So there was a recent post on Reddit about what is considered the best three headphones to own and I'm wondering what Head-Fiers consider to be the three 'must-haves' in their collection? (I'm also curious as I'm looking at the HD800, TH900, T1, and Alpha Primes to add to my collection of HE500...- bl42ed0

THE best female vocals? (your favorite female singers)
Aida Nikolaychuk -
HE-500. Check. LCD-2rev.2. Check. HE-560. Check (unfortunately).
What's the next step up from the HE-500 in terms of crispness and clarity and definitely the mids and highs and yes, the subbass too. Every other headphone I've listened to so far (granted it isn't a lot) did not make me want to get rid of the 500s. Instead I would probably get rid of the LCD2...- bl42ed0

Disappointed with the HE-560.. Is the TH-900 a good upgrade from the HE-500/LCD-2 rev.2?
The 560 seemed too plain to me whereas the 500, I enjoyed the highs and mids quite a bit more. Of course it helps that I listen to a lot of electronic music with female vocals. My question is this: I'm looking for a permanent (HAH!) upgrade from my 500. Would the TH-900 give me more of the 500...- bl42ed0

'ticking' during playback with Schiit Modi and HiFiMan EF-5 to HE-560i
I've noticed a 'ticking' or 'clicking' noise every few seconds during playback of tv shows or even music at lossless. It's very noticeable. Do I need to reroll my tubes? Currently using Telefunken E88CC.- bl42ed0

= HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =
So I'm probably going to get my HE-560 within a few weeks after having used the HE-500 and the LCD2.2 for the past 2 years. Do you think the 560 can replace both the 500 and the LCD2.2? I love female vocals and female vocals in electronic music....simply fantastic. Because of these tastes, I had...- bl42ed0
