    Samsung Level In - Dual BA + Dynamic Hybrids (EO-IG900)

    Well as I've been saying, the trebly part can be compensated for, I don't want to listen to any headphones without equalization, especially on a smartphone.  I chuckle actually when I read people complaining about this, maybe you have to play around for a while to get what you want, but what...

    Samsung Level In - Dual BA + Dynamic Hybrids (EO-IG900)

    I got a Note 4 a couple weeks ago and was planning on just tossing the phones that came with it, I wasn't even planning on listening to music on the phone, yikes, I used to feel sorry for people who listen to music on phones and cheap buds.  However, being the curious sort, I decided to try it...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    The Future Shop up here in Canada has Senns on sale all the time.  I got my Momentums there for $100 off.  I don't think Sennheiser minds selling more product when the retailer is willing to take the hit, and I suspect the company may even be offering them some special deals.

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    Anyone use these headphones with the Audioengine D1?  How does this DAC compare to the Fiio gear?  Seems like this would be a better choice.

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    Moon Audio has been known to come up with some pretty generous amp recommendations for their phones :)  I would assume that in many cases you may want to get a cheaper amp and a better set of headphones if you can spend as much as their suggested combos require.   So I've owned open and...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    I did use the Beats Studio for a couple years and thought they were fine, I'd read people saying what crap they are and did think that there are no doubt headphones that beat these pretty badly but I already spent $350 on these, they were better than the old Sennheiser 525's I had which were a...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    Comparing Momentum to anything from Dr Dre is like comparing steak to dog food.  Dr. Dog Food that is.

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    Do people generally us an amp with these, and if so, does it make a difference?  I've always stuck to portable headphones because I'm too cheap to buy an amp :)  However I'm thinking maybe I will soon.  Maybe something like the HRT Microstreamer to use as a USB DAC/Amp.  I use them now with my...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    I don't think they have too much bass and I owned the Studios a while back and these have a bit less bass but it's way better quality.  If you think these are bass light then you definitely have a defective pair.  I find the bass to be very nice although I do eq more in, but with the sensa clip+...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    I was listening and suddenly the music stopped abruptly, and I inspected the cable and saw it had been bitten in several places with one being a mortal wound.  The lead suspect is a new kitten we just got.  So I keep the Senn cable on my lap now being down to just one and have it plugged into a...

    Sennheiser Momentum Replacement Cables

    Thanks, I sent them an email, hopefully they will write me back :)  Damn kitten :D  I'm keeping this last cable close to my vest now though so to speak, didn't notice the kitten there and then the sound just stopped mysteriously :D

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    I'm already down to one cable, ugh, and replacement cables aren't for sale by anyone it seems.  I emailed the company to ask if they sell them, and waiting to hear back.  It seems ironic though that they are replaceable but you can't replace them :)  Anyone able to get replacements anywhere?  ...

    Sennheiser Momentum Replacement Cables

    I've already lost one of the two cables of my Momentum after just one day.  I'd settle for the stock cables but can't find anything on the internet.  Anyone have any idea where I can buy this?

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    Got my Momentums yesterday.  Out of the box, sounded good, got about 14 hours on them now and the difference is significant.  I wouldn't say they were bass heavy but I like bass anyway and have them equalized for more in fact, low shelf +4 db at 1000 hz.  So I do like a rich sound and with that...

    Klipsch X7i

    Yeah I did get them at the Future Shop up here in Canada.  They are still on for that price by the way, they keep extending the sale.  Strangely enough I paid $20 more for my S4's at the same store but with the $200 off that made the x7's a great deal.   If these don't sound noticeably...
