Just to provide some very, very brief overview of my experience of the RHA MA750, Yamaha EPH-100, and Sony MH1C. This is virtually all from memory so I can't make fantastic comparisons, but on averages they should roughly be right. Mainly used R&B and hip-hop tracks on an iPhone 5S, so for...

Thanks for the reply. Read a few reviews and it seems that durability in the long run with the Flux isn't great, and I'd want to spend a little more on a quality item that lasts.   You've said in your previously that the EPH-100 is closer to the MH1C than the MA750. Is the MA750's mid-range...

Quote:   Thanks for these responses guys. Just a little more insight, to my ears the MH1C's mids are too recessed, and the top-end is lacking a bit. What I don't want his to go completely in the opposite direction and end up with a sibilant top-end. Bass quantity with the MH1Cs is OK...

From what I've read both of those will be too bass-light for my liking, and possibly too analytical. I'm looking for something a bit more "musical", so to speak. Thanks for the suggestions anyway, shame as the B2 would appear to be an excellent choice if I had slightly different preferences!

Hi all,   Currently have a pair of Sony MH1Cs, they're cheap and cheerful (and sound extremely good for the price). However, there's a problem with the cable somewhere, and they keep cutting out (in addition to being a pain to wear due to the J-split).   They sound OK but I'm finding that...

Thanks for the reply. I thought it'd be something like that. Main interest is still the Harman Kardon BT, and how they compare to the Momentum, particularly at the lower end. Still found the Momentum a dash heavy in store, though hopefully a bit of EQ can sort that out.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately there is no way for me to try them out in passive mode, due to the display models being active only. Have read the review before and it seems that the bass is good, but not great.    Any other opinions? :) How do the UE6000s stack up against the Momentums...

Hi all,   After a rather poor customer service experience with Apple, they have offered me £100 to spend on anything that I would like from their online store (which of course means a limited range of headphones). This should mean that I will be able to essentially get a substantial discount...

Quote: Thanks for your reply joker! I have actually bought some hf3s just to see what they are like, seeing as I can of course take them back. I'm looking for something that has more impactful bass and slightly more recessed mids in comparison to them. Do your recommendations still...

Sorry for not being specific! The source will be my 4S, and I'm looking for IEMs.    The Linn system is mentioned as the presentation of my home setup is what I'm looking for. Anybody that is into their high end hifi will know that the Linn house sound is clean, uncoloured, most will even...

Hi all,   I made a new thread but I didn't realise that these types of questions were being posted in this thread!   I have a budget of £150, and am wondering what are the most natural sounding headphones I can get. I have an all Linn system at home, with lively but detailed...

Hi all,   It's been a while since I last posted here! I'm currently on the lookout for a pair of IEMs that sound natural - I don't want a pair of bass monsters, nor do I want something that is ultra flat and dull.   My home hi-fi system is all Linn, consisting of the following:  ...

Generally, there's not a huge difference when you go from 192 upwards when it comes to CBR; most people don't really hear any difference, and you are unlikely to unless you listen very carefully. As GreatDane said, using VBR is a good idea; smaller file sizes, good sound quality, and increased...

The CKS70s are a good choice for a non-fatiguing sound. They have decent bass both in quantity and in quality, and they clean up with break in. They have a slight hump in the mid-bass (think IE8 sound sig and you've got the idea; they are pretty close). Treble and mids improve a lot with break...
