Hey guys! I'm eventually going to buy a Bottlehead Crack for these phones, but I also want something portable that will hold me over until I have the funds. I will likely end up with either a Modi or E17k DAC, so amp only. I'm just looking for a good sounding, under $200 amp that will drive...

Is there a significant difference in the e17 and e18? Also, I was leaning more towards around ear rather than on ear. Comfort is important.

Hey guys,   I've been listening with MDR-V6's for about a year now and like them, but I've found myself becoming more sensitive to their bright top end and resulting fatigue. I'm looking to try a pair of open cans in the $150ish range.   I will be typically listening at my desk, where a...

Just got finished today. I'm really excited! CONNOR ROELKE :: WELCOME Feedback is appreciated, whether positive or negative.

I love how these sound, but I'm having comfort issues. When I wear them like HeadphoneAddict, they fit well and I get an excellent seal and feel good. For about 5 minutes. My ears feel sort of itchy and irritated sometimes and my right ear gets sore. There is some kind of pressure point that...

Just got my pair yesterday. First impressions are that they're nice, but the cord is pretty rumbly. You can definetly hear yourself walking/moving around. The tips are okay but I'm going to order some Comply's. I think that will help with the seal, too.

Comply T-400's. There was just a huge thread on this man. Search next time.

I was looking at them from Amazon. $15 for 3 pairs.

It added $5 shipping for the phones and another $5 for the tips. It looks like I won't be saving on shipping. Should I just wait, then?

I am planning on ordering NE-7m's. Do you guys recommend I add T400 tips to my cart and save the $5 on shipping? Or would you wait to see if I have trouble getting a good seal?

Interesting. Thanks. How did you find the fit was of the (im assuming stock) tips?

Did you consider the NE-7m's for more bass?

Also, my Sister and Dad both have a pair of Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5's. Don't know if that matters or would help any decisions. EDIT: Should I try them and see what I do/don't like about them?
