    Where do you get your BeyerDynamic's at?

    LOL, sorry, didn't realize I put everything but the model number. Yes. The DT-1350. Something I bought whim after watching Jude's comparison video to the HD 25 II and wow... no other headphone has cleaned out my collection like this. Sounds so good.   I ended up ordering from Sweetwater...

    Where do you get your BeyerDynamic's at?

    Just wanted to update here, while I was disappointed in getting a very much used product, paying for new, etc. B&H was very gracious and paid my return shipping. So hopefully this was just a Fluke. Still... other than Sweetwater Sound, which is a place you have to special order from, I don't...

    Where do you get your BeyerDynamic's at?

    I already have a set of these, easily the best cans in their class to me ($299 from some seller Amazon) and was looking to go cheap when I saw B&H Photo had them on sale for $269, but I got a well used, possibly abused pair. Anyone watch Hawaii 5.0? These headphones may have belonged to...

    Loudness of an IEM, Ohms, etc.

    Loudness of an IEM, Ohms, etc.

    I'm writing because I am confused about something. With my full-size headphones, Ohms is pretty straight forward. If I plug in a set that is about 20 ohms like my Beyerdynamic T70p, it will be loud, however if I plug in a set that is 50 ohms like my Senny 380 Pro, I will need to raise the volume...

    Audio Engine D1 DAC / AMP opinion?

    Hopefully I am posting in the right place. Being powered by USB I figured this would be considered portable? I was wondering if anyone else has used it and how it compares with others in sound quality. To be honest, buying an amp was way way down the road for me. Today, one of my clients, who...

    FLAC to ALAC, myths and questions

    Just curious here, I've got Jay Z's Gray Album, not something you can buy and just rip sadly, I'm sure your all aware of it. It is in FLAC and I need it ALAC for my iPod and iTunes.   I've got a conversion program, and I did some tests. I can hear no audible difference between the two files...

    Ipod Touch + FiiO E7 USB DAC = Laptop Quality?

    Yeah, it's a sound blaster X-Fi card, I know it may not agree with some, but I dig it. I just keep seeing pictures of iPod Touches strapped to FiiO's and the really expensive Fostex HP-P1 Amp and DAC... I ask myself, "OK, does this really help the fullness of the sound or do these guys just like...

    Ipod Touch + FiiO E7 USB DAC = Laptop Quality?

    After going through several sources, I've settled on the Ipod touch. It sounds the closest to plugging right into my laptop. So my question... Will using a portable headphone amp give me the extra bit of "omph" that my laptop gives me? I listen to music at low volumes so it is all about sound...

    Between T70p and Sennheiser 380 Pro middle ground?

    Getting to be less of a n00b now and have a specific need. My sources are Laptop (X-Fi), iPod Touch, and my files are Apple Lossless or m4a format... anyways...   I've got the Sennheiser HD-380 Pro which I dig a lot. It has a veiled sound, good sub bass, fairly forgiving, etc. Recently...

    Beyerdynamic DT-880, but closed?

    Quote:   Thanks for your reply and good timing as well. I was glad to read your post because about 2:00am last night I was on amazon and the T70p was on sale for $408! I had to jump on that one. It'll be here wed, so I'll post an update.   As for the Shure and AKG set, I got to try...

    Cowon J3 or iPod Classic

    Quote: So if I could pin you down on this, your saying that ignoring the EQ settings and leaving them on "normal" the Ipod Classic is better than the J3 for sound quality? Could you go more in depth on this? Are we talking about an overall warmer or more neutral reproduction of the music...

    Cowon mp3 players vs Sumsung Galaxy and iPod

    OK, so fast forward to now and I have a Cowon J3 because...   a) I am not going months on Ibasso, I don't want buttons like HiFiMan or Colorify. b) Every review everywhere raves on this thing, felt like a safe buy. c) I love the OS, I know some hate it, but I can fly song to song! d)...

    Zen Touch, X-Fi, Cowon J3, and my computer.

    Quote:   OK I just want to recant all of this. I needed more time and should not have posted yet. The Cowon J3 is an amazing mp3 player. After only a day of use I can navigate through this device faster than any iPod or mini tablet. It does sound amazing and has no hiss with my Shure...

    Shure se535 hiss is killing me, better on theh se215?

    Ah, OK, thanks guys I appreciate it. Still working through things, but yes I do love the sound of the Shure se535's. I mean they are like the perfectly eq'd IEM to my ears, they do nothing wrong, except hiss and that is really my problem, not theirs.   I got a Cowon J3 and things are a...
