Yeah I had a look at the 400i’s on eBay actually and found a good pair for like 329 (AUD we’re talking)... incidentally, my Magni just sold on eBay lol. So I guess I’ll put this all on the back burner until I have a desire to splurge on all the gear. Thanks for the recommendations.

That description sounds like what I’m after... an otherworldly experience... I don’t know if I’m hyping what’s possible up too much... anyway it may be worth a shot since I already have thre Magni... can you recommend a dac? And do I need one, I’m stuck trying to figure out how the best way to...

Thanks so much for the reply. I think you’ve reinforced a great point in terms of headphones.. My biggest dilemma is trying to figure out whether I have to cut out the low and mid tier or headphones say, under $500 to make it worth my while - it’s logistically quite difficult to test any high...

...as a gift, a friend caught wind of a newfound (albeit relatively short lived if you look at my for sale post) interest in hifi audio. What I'm after is a transcendent listening experience and at this point believe I'm chasing something elusive - that said, I said I'd reserve my foray into...

I was looking at the H6 before buying the M100s, I've just wrapped them and they'll be on their way back tomorrow morning - I spent time this afternoon testing out all possible music with my iPad Pro, iPhone, laptop, spotify premium, Tidal Master and HiFi quality and the overwhelming consensus...

Now, I'm not sure how many of you would touch Studio 3's with a ten foot pole but I happen to really enjoy the way they sound for the music I listen to... can any of you which have listened to them recommend a wired pair similar to them? Edit: Oh and I believe the terminology that I'd use to...

Initially mids have felt recessed - not as full down low as well, but I guess it's just different to what I'm used to - I'll continue to scrutinize them and switch back and forth. I feel like in ear earphones would be an another route to chase potentially but have steered away from them for...

Switched back to earpods and they're just more 'full' at the lower end - something I want, something I get because I suppose they're in between a headphone and iem. I'd like to think I have great hearing hahaha

Would the XL pads for my Vmoda's make any difference - essentially as I'm listening to them right now and typing this I have two options - send them back and pay a 20% restocking fee (unfortunately I had to cut the damn ribbon on the retail box to get into them, I've even left the plastic on...

That's fairly intriguing, is laptop power a big enough different than iPad and iPhone power or can I just class them together and amps are just another level? QUOTE="Cruelhand Luke, post: 14341657, member: 454173"]Personally, I would dial the budget down a couple of notches and buy a couple of...

Absolutely agree with listening to a bunch of different headphones - the only issue I have is I cannot readily do that and probably not about to undertake the cyclical quest of buying and returning and paying a restocking fee and yeah it's just a bit messy. I just need to put this on hold then...

Good to know, I can discern a difference - they're on par, but lack energy idk. Clamping force is a bit woozy too.

Was definitely keen on trying them out due to some recommendations about being great bassy headphones - they sound fine - just no better than my earpods haha. Can you personally recommend any warmer, bass heavy cans? (Can I say cans yet lol) Now listening through laptop and Tidal master quality...

Just my iPad Pro currently, will try on iPhone 6s and my computer as well (does anyone know if the SoundBlaster XFiMB5 is a decent soundcard)?

Fair enough, I'll give them a solid time before I make any brash decisions but I'm just a bit disappointed at the price tag and listening experience - quality of the product is incredible, no fault there. For 250 aud, price wise is fine but I'm feeling better audio from Apple's Earpods which I...
