    Help me choose one among a sea of AKG headphones

    Purpose: Primarily will be used to monitor myself while recording lectures. So, probably open back is not the best idea, since it leaks sound. Also, will be used to listen to classicals, jazz and acoustics. A decent soundstage is appreciated. Options: AKG K240 Studio MK II - $107 AKG K361 -...

    Which Youtube reviewers do you follow

    There are quite a lot of reviewers on Youtube who produce contents on headphones. However, their reviews usually differ a lot on some of the headphones. The question is, whom do you people trust? I used to follow Jim's Review Room, but he left Youtube. Also, now I understand that he mostly stuck...

    AKG K361/K371

    I am looking for a headphone to monitor when I record my lectures, and I have the option to get either the K361 ($100), K361 BT ($99) or K371 BT ($106). The K371 is not available here in India. Unfortunately, all the recent reviews on Amazon for K371 BT seems to point to a massive QC failure...

    Headphone for flat sound with decent soundstage

    I am looking for a headphone at around $100 that I will use as a monitor to record my lectures. I will also use them to listen to classical music. I expect a decently smooth soundstage, or as much as this price point can get me. I do not have an amp, and I use ATR2100 in USB mode to record my...

    Advice for a couple of set of IEMs for a beginner wanting to know the basics

    Jade Audio products aren't available here unfortunately. My options are limited to FD1 and Tin T2+. The new BLON BL01 which is an update to BL03 is also interesting, but there seems to be no reviews of it yet.

    Thanks. Is the variance between the sets within limits?

    Advice for a couple of set of IEMs for a beginner wanting to know the basics

    Thanks for taking the time to write up a precise list of suggestions. How is NF Audio NA2 for the premium option? For the second set, I am torn between Fiio FD1 (Jane Audio isn't available here unfortunately), T2+, and Moondrop SSR. Basically, anything within that $50 - 55 range. I initially...

    FiiO FD1 - 10mm 1DD IEM

    I looked into HifiMan RE400, but unfortunately the lack of detachable cable is a problem for me, because, for me, the cables are the first thing to wear out. My current options are Tin T2 Plus and FD1.

    FiiO FD1 - 10mm 1DD IEM

    Actually, I am getting a NA2 (NM2 is too pricy for me). I want a secondary set for casual listening and movie watching.

    FiiO FD1 - 10mm 1DD IEM

    After watching David Sylvia and Intoit's reviews and comparisons on Youtube, I wonder if they got lemons, which again begs the question, how many lemons are out there? David even said that the soundstage of FD1 is pretty bad, and doesn't have a natural timber. It boils down to a simple...

    FiiO FD1 - 10mm 1DD IEM

    This is where it confuses me. Some are complaining FD1 has weak bass. I don't mind the bass, but the problem with bass is if it isn't fast and tight, it tends to eclipse the mids. That is something I hate. Also, there is not a lot of difference between the price of T2 Plus and FD1. So, the price...

    Advice for a couple of set of IEMs for a beginner wanting to know the basics

    I'm a complete newbie when it comes to high-fidelity music, and things like resolution, sound stage and instrument separation are alien to me. However, I am really interested to know about the subtleties. I am looking for a few IEMs or portable headphones that will give me a taste of what I am...

    FiiO FD1 - 10mm 1DD IEM

    Hello, I am looking for my first IEM, and I want something neutral that can be tweaked nicely with an equalizer. I considered FD1, but now it seems that there are too many contradictory reviews. Some say that the soundstage is horrible, some say it's the best under $100. Also, in my country...
