Thanks! Additionally, how does the bass compare?

Anyone care to give me a comparison between the Sony XB-1000 and the Fostex TH-X00/TR-X00's?

Diggin this track :thumbsup:

I think I'm going to try out the C5 again, but now considering the A5 since it has good power. Can anyone compare the two? I'm assuming both will drive most headphones fine but not sure how the bassboost sounds like when compared to each other. Also, I found this on Amazon which sounds...

I had the Cayin C5 but had to return it because it just failed one day ... It started out with it cutting out sometimes, and I'd have to turn it on and off to make it work. Eventually it just stopped turning on and I returned it to mass drop since Cayin doesn't have a warranty per se. I would...

Hey fellas, Are there any amps with good bass-boost switches that are under $150 right now?

M40x's are not bad but it would be cool that maybe in the future, Kannon can make modular versions that can be added fitted to other models of headphones. That might be THE game changer for their business model and possibly have a line of their own drivers or another joint venture, maybe this...

Solid review as always HBB, may have to start saving up for that now. On the side note: Anyone with a Cayin C5 ever experience times where it cuts out? I would be adjusting volume and it would just go silent until I either turn it off and on or turn it a little more and wait a few seconds ...

Had a tough time grasping this so I'll pass on what I've learned over the years about EQ'ing. INTERFACE Gain Value: The amount you're trying to boost (shown in decibels) Quality: Bandwidth of a particular signal. This is easier to understand if you're looking at the graph. Lower Q value =...

I have never tried a stax, let alone any estat before but now I am intrigued lol. I told myself that I'm going to get rid of more headphones and just keep 1 or 2 flagships but the chi-fi scene is making it very hard ... I may have to take the B8 out for a spin... They sort of physically...

Can someone explain to me what the 3D does? I'm assuming the Xbass is just their own vernacular for hardware bassboost.

To make it easier for some people, I'll give you my thoughts based on all the headphones I had extensive time with: DT 770 80 Ohm Pro - The pro82's sounded a little darker than the DT770's as well as not having the bass extension that the beyerdynamics phone does very well. DT770 was a little...

Regarding speed, attack, and decay, they are not as fast as my 668B's, but at the same time, they aren't as sibilant. To give you my personal opinion on them being 2x the price, they are not... But then again sound is very subjective as most of us know so the only way to really know is to listen...

I hear ya man, I ended up using them for mostly acoustic instrumental stuff so I closed all the ports off and used them as intended from OEM (originally purchased hoping they'd be bass cans). But I ended up with a thinksound on2 which I found to be far superior for the use I had but the...

It's necessary when your headphones have high impedance. Most headphones below 80 ohms do not need amplification but some exceptions greatly benefit as some frequencies are more attenuated when power is not adequate (Example: Fostex TH-X00). I believe IEM's are one of the few that rarely needs...
