Hey chekock.   I was surprised to see a reply to this old thread. I have since moved on to a Beyerdynamic T1 and Hifiman HE5-LE.becaus eof that, I do not use the headphones mentioned in this thread that much anymore but I will at least try to share my impressions.   With some luck, I ended...

I would say the DT880 are the most neutral headphones in the line-up where the dt770/990 have more pronounced bass and treble which results in the mids being more recessed than the DT880. All of them are very clear headphones though. The difference between pro and premium models are the...

Dear Head-fi members,   As a DT880 pro owner I recently tried to step up in the hifi world by buying a Beyerdynamic T90. I can say however this was not a very pleasant experience and certainly not what I was expecting. The treble in particular seems very problematic to me. It sounded very...

I think noise cancellation/isolation is sometimes exaggerated. Neither an etymotic or a Bose QC25 will make airplane engine noise completely disappear. It is more like changing a really loud and obnoxious engine noise into a much quieter rustling wind sound.   That said, It should still make a...

As an owner of the ue900 I also had this problem where the connection keeps cutting out on one earpiece. It was easily fixed by popping it out and back in a few times, which fixed the problem permanently. Other than that it is a wonderful IEM which is pretty neutral with maybe a bit of warmth...

I can vouch for the se215 being comfortable to sleep with. Every IEM in the shure SExx5 series has negative profile which doesn't make it stick out of you ear(I do have larger ears than average though), but instead fits around the natural shape of your ear. The build quality is also pretty good...

Have to agree with this. headphones have much more performance per $.   A rockboxed clip+ gets you excellent features and sound quality for the price. For the headphones part you could get logitech ue6000 that sounds pretty damn good for the...

Hello,   My name is Steve and I just started moving from speakers to headphones and IEMs. This website/forum has been a great help deciding what to purchase for my sound needs. I have finally made an account so I can participate in this wonderful community.

Hello headfiers,   I recently got into headphones after mostly listening to speakers for my whole life. As a start I got a decent USB DAC (Creative X-fi HD USB) and a beginner headphone amp (O2 amp). I also bought a Pihllips Fidelio x1 to pair with this setup and it has been great for EDM and...
