Between this mod, and cutting the inner foam strips so that they only cover the piezo driver, these headphones just reached a while new level of awesomeness. Thanks!!!!

It's 2019, and I'm still enjoying my V20 as if I had bought it yesterday. Nevertheless, a Galaxy S9 with Dolby Atmos installed, and non-demanding headphones, is awfully close to it (or even suprasses it, with Dolby enabled). Sure, this beast can power almost any headphone you throw at it, but...

I'm happy. I got rid of the Fiio X5 III and the Nuforce Primo8. Never again. I'll now listen to everything myself before buying it.

Not the OP, but I can answer this. Buying the perfect solution from day one is pretty hard, since you need to try differentthings before settling. In my case, I did buy the perfect solution from day one - my Sennheiser HD-580 are as close to perfection as I could ever want them to be. Sure, my...

No. I actually like reviews where the reviewer isn't a paid shill. Or when the reviewer doesn't write like a 14 year old. Or when he doesn't fawn over a piece of garbage just because the rest of Head-fi does. I don't care if a reviewer says something bad about my gear. If someone like Tyll...

Not by me. Unless you are looking at the measurements sidebar, which I believe, is pretty objective and full of interesting information.

InnerFidelity.

DBT? Did you measure for any difference? Were you able to reliably detect any difference while blind testing? If you did, call Randi and ask him to take the million dollar challenge. Otherwise, it's just your opinion / bias. And that's exactly the problem I'm talking about. You are part of a...

I'd expect to find things that can be proven. As in: 1) Nobody, and I mean *nobody* can hear differences between cables. The Great Randi had the 1 million dollar challenge for anyone who could prove cables sound different. Nobody could beat his challenge. Every single test ever done (DBT) has...

Now that you mention it, my favorite headphones are the Sennheiser HD-600 and the Etymotic ER-4SR. I started my collection with the HD-580 and the ER-4S. So, you are right. I never found anything better, and I merely updated my gear. The rest of my headphones could die a fiery death tomorrow and...

This is a strange moment for me. I used to trust HeadWize. I got my Ety ER-4S because of it. And my AKG 501s. Now I realize times have changed, and that close knit community is now full of people with no idea what they are talking about, bias, or hidden motives. It's time to stop trusting...

Reviewer rate highly > More equipment received for reviews > more higher value equipment received for reviews. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/how-can-i-trust-head-fi-reviews.744389/page-8 I'm an objectivist, and I agree with your assesment. 1) I find differences between amps and digital...

The Quads are nowhere near what a $220+ in ear should sound like. The AKG N20's smoke them, and they are $80+ I did own the Triple Drivers, and thought they were OK for their price. I actually liked them more than the Quads.

Preface. I bought a set of $500 Primo8 by Nuforce, because of reviews posted here, and other places. They absolutely SUCK to the nth degree. I also bought a set of Quad Drivers from 1More, and some Dunu Titans. I've been positively underwhelmed by their sound. I remember a time when...
