I'm finally getting hang of it (the meaning for cable switching and amping). As I said I'm currently very happy with just onboard audio + stock cable but will eventually upgrade to amp so I could get the best out of them. Thanks for being newbie friendly and explaining everything so a guy like...

Oh my god   These headphones are amazing! Haven't listened many songs yet but listened some deadmau5 and they really blew my mind just using stock cable and onboard audio. Compared them to my razers megalodon (overpriced crap) and I have never realised how flat they're. I'm not sure if I...

Thank you thats a relief.. As a newbie in this community, my head explodes when some say amp is a must and others say that its not mandatory. I will buy the xonar first because it could be good for gaming and might look for an amp in future. Thank you for being helpful, cant wait to get my...

Hi, I already asked this in help section but I think you guys would give a better advice. So I bought these headphones and they should arrive next week but I heard the stock cable isn't that great. Should I buy new cable from a local supermarket which isn't nothing fancy or just play with the...

The v-moda cable looks pretty cool but not sure if I'm willing to invested that much after the headphone purchase since I have to pay taxes + shipping. I'm living in Finland but thanks for your help.

Hello friends, I've been lurking these forums for couple of months and decided to buy fidelio x1 (they are yet to come). I heard that the stock cable isn't that great so should I buy a new one? I mean would any local supermarket cable be better than the stock one? I will run these from my...
