Is there reason to believe that the stock cable will perform worse than the alibaba one?

Looking for a replacement cable, and hifiman is charging $65 shipped on their website, which is about 25% of the cost I paid for these headphones. Do I have any better options? Unfortunately my stock cable that came with my Hifiman Deva's is breaking (my fault) and I'm looking for a...

From what I see in the review you did http://theheadphonelist.com/earphone-buyers-guide/, in terms of what type of signature, most likely warm and smooth or vshaped. I am wondering if the 10 dollar ones will suffice. I plan on using the in ears for doing homework at the library, casual walking...

looking for in-ears under $100, open to all recommendations.    I thought that I've read that Klipsh Image S4's are amazing.. but not sure if I should pull the trigger. 

Schiit magni being 100 and best bang for your buck .. that sounds extremely enticing. Anyone want to chime in with some cons before I pull the trigger?    Either a schiit magni, or ditch my beyerdynamic DT-990 250 for a pair of ATH-M50's lol .. 

  DIY is not in my best interest right now haha.  Not really. The E11 is pretty bad.. battery life sucks too.      Is there a portable amp that can be charged while being used as well ? 

Thanks for a great response.    Leckerton and iBasso seem rather pricey, but which specific units do you recommend? Include reason why as well please. 

Yes they are. Oh, very disappointed to hear that. What should I be looking for to see if it's worth keeping or not?      If not, what should I purchase to replace? 

I went ahead and bought a FiiO E11. . thinking it would suffice. Was I wrong? 

hi ,   I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro, but I do not have an amp. I usually use them to game, movies, anything. I have no idea which to buy, and I see that FiiO is really popular, but have no clue where to turn .   Recommendations are appreciated. This amp will be plugged into a...

i have the 990 pros and theyre pretty good. i play csgo and the directional hearing is okay. im looking into amps at the moment, but so far i am happy with my purchase. people in the room would be able to hear sounds from the headphones such as shooting, and if a tv show is in thw background...

the dt990s volume. if its too low its not clear, the comfortable volume takes a toll on my ears. how to mess with eq ?

maybe my dt990 pros are not as great since i do not have an amp. k701s seem tempting. any other suggestions ?

my first pair of headphones or earphones were the IE7s. sounded great, but were lost. i recently purchased a DT990 pro and momentums. momentums are too small for me. and the DTs give me headaches. usage would be music from phone, computer, macbook, and dj when needed. games mostly fps...

same conditions as before : 200 max for my budget. Will not have an amp. Closed or opened i have no preference. i listen to hip hop, edm, the general bunch.    I really liked my IE8's, but I have not tried a nice pair of full sized headphones before.
