    DAC AMP for HD650 (and Shure SE535)

    Folks,   I am going to buy the HD650 which I will be using only at home. This means I don't necessarily need a portable AMP. Can you please help me out?   - I have all my music files on my iPhone 6. I will be using these cans 95% of the time together with my iPhone. So it should have a...

    Headphone suggestion ($400-$600)

    Kicking my old topic cause I still haven't bought any full size HP yet.    It might be subjective.. but can you actually compare IEM to a full size HP? For example.. The SE535 vs. the HD600? Someone once said that IEM's are like laptops: you pay more for the same configuration but just smaller...

    Headphone suggestion ($400-$600)

    Hi folks,   Best wishes for 2016!!   I'm sorry in advance for being lazy here. I haven't done any research at this point, though I know exactly what I want.    For 2 years I am using my Shure SE535 IEM every day and I am still in love with them. Even had the SE846 for 1 week but returned...

    Shure SE-846 vs Shure SE-535?

    Mate check out my thread. I have made a comparison between these 2.    I wouldn't trade them if you're are loosing too much on it. IMO it's not worth the additionally 600 bucks but definitely a better pair.    http://www.head-fi.org/t/780669/reason-not-to-buy-shure-846/15

    Reason not to buy Shure 846

    Well.....    After I had found back my SE535 I was able to do a comparison SE535 vs. SE846. Obviously the 846 was going to win but there's definitely something to say about bang-for-buck ratio. Whereas I found the SE215 really outstanding for only 100 bucks, the SE535, 4 times the price of the...

    Mates.   First let me tell you that I love the 846 a lot. There are a few things I want to share with you:   * the bass is indeed from a whole other level. It's very prominent and sometimes overpowered. Yet in vocal songs it's extremely hot and smooth. When you're listening to rock music or...

    Optimal quality: CD > ALAC

    Hi all,   I wanted to check this with you guys. I am going to import all my music from scratch again (I've always imported with compression) into iTunes (OSX). But there are a few things that I want to check first:   - Is it true that a CD is the ultimate quality? - All files on CD are WAV...

    @ForceMajeure Thanks I will dig into this matter    My frist opinion about the SE846   * it's not worth 2 times the price  * there's definitely a noticeable in difference in SQ compared to SE535 * Lows are great, bass is better    However I find there's a lot of going on inside my ears...

    Mate thanks for your opinion. I am glad you think they are one of the best you've ever heard. So expectation are high now. Too bad I can't do a comparison between 535 and 846 but I will definitely give my 2 cents once I got them (I think they'll be in the mail tomorrow)   Now let's continue...

    Worth the price.. well that's definitely NO for me as well. Still there are enough crazy ones who spend such amount of dough on earphones.   But would I be disappointed because the difference is maybe almost not noticeable?    I've always found the base a little bit artificial and thin on...

    /edit: check my last post for a SE535 vs. SE846 "comparison"   Hi all,   It's been a very very sad day. I've lost my Shure SE535 which I really loved. I had them for almost 2 years and used them everyday since I'm in public transport almost every day.   I've always regret a tiny bit that I...
