IEM with good isolation
Wireless not mandatory at all....might be even better wired when flying I've found the RHA to isolate pretty well from the ambient noise in a plane even though they are not ANC. So anything at least similar would be ideal- FrenchGuy

IEM with good isolation
Hello I used to have a RHA MA750....loved it. Then it went wrong, and RHA sent me a replacement (refurb, but free of charge) 1) I liked how it sounded (music and movies) 2) I liked its ability to isolate from ambient noise (airplane) What would be an equivalent in the $50 max range? Thanks- FrenchGuy

Hello One is $190, and the other one is $100 Is the sound quality of the Zen DAC v2 worth the $90 difference? I don't have a headphone yet (other than my "old" RHA MA750i) Thanks- FrenchGuy

Can you suggest a first DAC/headphone amp?
Would you say the Khadas Tone 2 Pro is much better than the Zen DAC V2 (and is worth the $60 difference)? What is that headphone we see on the picture? I recognize the Focal - JMLab logo.....but what model is it?- FrenchGuy

Philips SHP9500 or HIFIMAN HE400SE...
The Philips is $75 and the HIFIMAN is $100 Which one would be best to start listening music in a more "audiophile" way? I mainly listen female vocals..... OR is there another much better choice for not much more $$ I'm not decided yet and what amp/dac to use though..... Thanks- FrenchGuy

The SHP9500 is $80 on Amazon And the Fidelio is $130.........Is it worth the $50 difference? Or...........should I think like "Hey, let's start with the 9500, and if I like the hobby, I will invest later in something even better than the Fidelio X2HR"?- FrenchGuy

So assuming I NEED to stay around $100 ($150 max if it really brings a huge plus)......what would be a good headphone to enjoy songs with female vocals? What about the Grado SR80e? Fidelio XH2R? AKG K240 MkII? etc......- FrenchGuy
