Just received an email from Sensaphonic Japan CEO, Taka Masatsugu.   Their English website is up and open for orders: http://www.j-phonic.com/   I'm ordering a pair soon ~

I know this is a rather late response, but I found this thread while looking for anyone else using the Lehmann Black Cube usb (which I am a fan of!)   I think when considering new equipment, one of the most important things to consider is the type of music that one enjoys listening to. I am...

Happy Holidays!   Hope you can all find time to sit back and listen to some great music!

I highly recommend Klipsch S4 ($99)   They sound great, isolate well, and are very comfortable to wear.   If you can rack up your funds, the Klipsch x10i are my absolute favorites (but they cost $350 ... )

I know that you prefer not to get a 2-in-1, however, the Red Wine Audio Isabellina HPA is a fantastic DAC and headphone amp for the HD800.   Since an upgraded version of this headphone amp was released recently, you can find people selling their older version for $1k regularly.   I...

Red Wine Audio's Isabellina HPA sounds like a possible match for you since you're using your Macbook as a digital source.   I've had this headphone amp/dac (SLA battery version) for a while now and just received my HD800s recently - they simply sound amazing with the music that I enjoy...

For those of you interested in the sound of the HFI2400:   It took such a long time to open up these cans!   By the way, my 3 favorite genres to listen to are classical (especially smaller chamber ensembles), jazz (small combos, especially 1960's), and Brazilian music (e.g. Caetano...

I wonder if the x10i don't get recognized in this community because of the addition of the mic and it's obvious purpose to be paired with an Apple product ....   It offers such great sound and comfort!   I'm a violinist and the way these earphones reproduce the sound of string...

I recently went shopping for a pair of headphones to use with my Macbook Pro containing lossless formats of mostly jazz and classical music.   I didn't want to lug in my Isabellina HPA so the store owner let me borrow a Centrance DAC.   I was blown away by the musicality of the...

I've been using the PMD661 for about a year and it's certainly a versatile equipment.   The recording capabilities are stellar: 2 xlr mic preamps with 48v phantom power, S/PDIF, and 1/8" line in.   As far as using this device as a portable source - it can definitely work. Although there...

ESW10jpn no longer available on audiocubes ...

For those of you waiting to purchase an Ultrasone for a little less, this might do it for you.   https://www.rmcaudiodirect.com/Articles.asp?ID=150

I just received these from Sound Earphones; they had a great Deal-of-the-Day on these that I couldn't pass up!   The sound quality of these earphones are simply amazing; comfortable, clear, detailed, and excellent at blocking out external noise.   The remote is also very convenient; they...

Hello,   First posting. Just wanted to say that I highly recommend the x10i; they block out external noise significantly and sound great at low listening levels, even straight out of an ipod.   I had the older version, x10, and was happy with their sound but I must say, there were...
