I am using this apple dongle with a Kano kids tablet (cheapest laptop at best buy I could find during the days of this human malware as a music server) to my Yamaha SR 202 stereo receiver. I am using musicbee as my player. I also have a One TB WD portable ( my library on it) drive hooked up to...

Sad to see him retire.Tyll will be missed by us “ old timers”. He was always helpful to us. Headroom was one of the first headphone venders that appeared here. I bought most of my gear from his company. My first amp, I still have a headroom bag that I treasure. It was time that this board had a...

I bought the black on ear basics. I paired it with a Fiio E6 and the 7" fire 49.00 tablet. with the amp. they do sound good. Bass is heavy but not overwhelming. Actually, they sounded way better than then the Sony's that I bought in the same price range. I wanted a to see what I could do with a...

Nokia mix radio. Just type in nokia in the search at the app store.

I have a surface 2, and the output is better than the original RT.I use Nokia mix app on it. My only gripe is that there is no gapless playback, or being able to use remote mic/ff buttons either android or apple variety common on some headphones nowadays. I still go for my ipod shuffle when I...

I just bought a X3 on the 4th of July sale, loving this player for its size and playback capabilities. Loaded the latest firmware, 64 gig scandisk. No problems with playback at all. Most of the time I use a USB card reader to load files, much faster, Also, I have been using Sony's media go...

I've got a pair of the new solo 2's, and I am impressed. They are my go to phones with my ipad mini retina. Are they neutral? more so than in the past. Still have the bass, but it is toned down from the previous model. My ipad can drive them with ease. And I am a old man on this forum 53 years...

I actually bought  the beats solo 2's. Ill admit they are a improvement over the originals. The mids are more pronounced, they are bass heavy still, but not to the point where it over bloated. They have a more in your face sound. The highs are there, again it depends on your source. They remind...

Just picked up a original Surface RT.. the headphone out of this thing is fantastic! has more output than my ipad, truly a bargain at 180.00. It will take up to a 64 GB micro sd card, plus a USB port. I know this it got a bad rap from tablet users, but as  a audio/ video play back it's worth it...

Ok, before I get bashed to death on here, let me tell you why. I picked up a new ipad mini, and tried my different cans on them, just wasn't satisfied. I tired the senns  momentous, which are good phones, but I didn't like the fact that they needed a amp to my ears to properly  drive them on my...

Has the industry grown since I Joined? Yes by leaps and bounds. More choices are always a good thing. Me being an old member, what would I recommend for a newbee  getting into this hobby? go back to the basics! get a good source first, like a decent CD player at home. plenty of them on ebay...

Just wanted to say Jason, loving my new Magni, and Modi(optical) great quality products! I haven't had a amp this good since my Gilmore version one. I've tried others, but your right you guys are the Schiit! Absolutely dead silent, no hiss or buzz like others I've tried, keep up the good work...

I too am a old member, and yup I agree with the OP. In, fact I raised  a similar question years ago...See this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/62804/is-the-golden-age-of-headfi-over
