Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution
Dynamic in my experience. I got the LCD x’s and they sounded great, but didn’t have much bass and slam. Part of this has to do with being open back, too. Do you require beefy bottom end?- SonicFade

Shanling UA5 - Next step in our portable USB DAC/AMPs
“* iOS support demands special Lightning to USB DAC cable, available from range of sellers on the market.” The dongle dilemma has never been an easy one. I’ll report back on how the two cables I purchased end up working out, in a few days- SonicFade

Okay, got it. Hopefully one of the cables I got works. If not I will have to get rid of iOS for music playback and look for a cheap android phone or something- SonicFade

Shanling UA5 - Portable USB DAC/AMP || 4.4mm Balanced Output || Hybrid Battery Power || Independent Volume Control || 235 USD / Euro
Thanks, this was explained so well. I’m definitely the kind of person that listens to music, more than vocals (if had to choose one over the other) Especially as a guitarist. I always get crap for it, but I enjoy listening to metal on ATH M50x’s. It has thumpyness in the low mids that I wish the...- SonicFade

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
Thanks, good to know on the Mojo. Too bad it’s so spendy to get the poly to go along with it. I might check here locally in Portland to see if any stores have one to audition. I’m also going to try some new ear pads. I don’t want to give up on these headphones- SonicFade

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
I have been asking around. In a few. Seems to be that most of the portable amp guys are strictly IEM’s- SonicFade

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
So far my phone, Monoprice Monolith, and my Apollo Twin interface, and I just can’t get along with these headphones. Hard part is that I require something portable- SonicFade

This might be the only way. Unlucky so far with the Monoprice Monolith, as it is THX- SonicFade

Anyone try smaller DAC/Amps like L&P W2 or Cayin RU6 with the TH900’s- SonicFade

I just got done reading about 30 pages in the L&P W2 thread. You guys have a lot of good info there! I have a pair of Fostex TH900’s I’m trying to get along with. I’m told they don’t pair well with THX based amps. These headphones can be a bit fatiguing and shrill in the top end. Since they...- SonicFade

Did it change with burn in or anything? This review seems to say the opposite about it being bright.- SonicFade
