    V-Moda Crossfade Wireless versus V-Moda M-100 - sound quality difference?

    I know this is an old thread but I couldn't find a dedicated Crossfade Wireless thread.   I've had these headphones for about 2 months and I'm really impressed.   I had the v-moda LP2 previously and ended up selling them to a friend because they were too uncomfortable. I wear glasses and...

    Awesome or Gimmick ? Sonys MDR-1ADAC

      You can hear more detail and the isolation is better. But if you though the treble or midrange is a bit lacking in the 1RBTMK2 then I think you will be disappointed.   Also if you always put your MK2's into the APTx mode (by holding down volume + when turning on) then you won't have much a...

    Awesome or Gimmick ? Sonys MDR-1ADAC

    I just got my pair yesterday. I paid $399 from JB Hi-Fi in Australia. They were on sale, down from 499 which is their standard price. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/headphones-dj/headphones/sony/sony-mdr1adac-hi-res-headphones-with-us-dac-black/646636/   Previously to getting these I was using the...

    PSB M4U 2

    Thanks gav007 and jess70. I have ordered 2 cables for the nad Viso hp50 from eBay. I tried contacting PSB about the battery compartment cover, but they just told me to contact a store here in Australia, and I did but they never got back to me. I'm thinking about getting some full size...

    PSB M4U 2

    I'm starting to hate these headphones and this company because no replacement parts are available. First I lose the battery compartment cover, that was over a year ago and I've never been able to locate a replacement. Now I have accidentally wrapped the cord around a door handle and snapped...

    Best closed-back portable headphone under $150 for college.

    A couple of other suggestions Shure SRH-840 V-Moda Crossfade LP2   Your budget must have dramatically increased if you are giving serious thought to the UE9000.   In the case of increased budget, I would also consider: SoundMAGIC HP100 (very comfortable, more comfortable than anything...

    Looking for *urgh* good sounding "fashion" phones for daughter

    Perhaps consider the Monster Diamond Tears - I've read (or rather watched) several reviews of these by audiophiles (particularly on youtube) and they all say that for a fashion phone, the audio performance is actually really good.   Durability might be another story, if she wants to knock them...

    JDS Labs C5/C5D (pg96) portable amp/amp+DAC

    I'm having an interesting time with the C5D and my HTC One.   Sometimes sound will come out of the boomsound speakers instead of through my amp which can be embarrassing.   The workaround I have found is to ensure the C5D is turned on BEFORE plugging in the MicroUSB cable. Sometimes this...

    Help me decide!! HipHop/RAP BASS LOVER!!

    Try the JB Hi-Fi store in Pitt St Mall - i have been in there before and they have a full headphone listening section. The Sydney Westfield store might also have one, but I haven't been in there.   In regards to where to purchase from, I live in Adelaide and have bought plenty of headphones so...

    JDS Labs C5/C5D (pg96) portable amp/amp+DAC

      Well, on my frist day using the C5D on public transport, I accidentally plugged the HP100 into the headphone jack of my HTC One, and I was only listening to talk radio but then when I put some music on, I noticed a difference in the sound so I switched it over to the C5D output jack and I did...

    JDS Labs C5/C5D (pg96) portable amp/amp+DAC

    I'm blown away by the improvement the C5D gives to the SoundMAGIC HP100 headphones.   The bass is so clean and tight and on the highest bass boost setting, the C5D gives me fantastic sub-bass lows without bleeding it anywhere else across the spectrum. My headphones only cost $250, but the C5D...

    JDS Labs C5/C5D (pg96) portable amp/amp+DAC

      I'm not sure if the ringtone plays, when I received a call on the bus this morning my phone was on silent.   1. is not necessary because; 2. is what i would normally do if the headphones were connected direct to my phone but this doesn't happen. You are misunderstanding me.   A call...

    JDS Labs C5/C5D (pg96) portable amp/amp+DAC

    Just got mine today, i'm pretty happy with it.   It made me do two things immediately. Uninstall the equalizer app, and turn off beats audio in the phone settings. What I found is that whilst your equalizer app may work at first, the second or third time you plugin the amp, it will completely...
