    Review by 'theeyealtering' on item 'Shure SRH 940'

    These headphones are a perennial source of frustration for me. They sound fantastic for closed headphones at their price. I'm a big fan of neutral and detailed cans with a fairly flat sound signature, and these definitely deliver. Highs are crisp without being at all harsh, mids are clear and...

    Help me choose a set of headphone please!!!

    The requirements you list are incredibly broad and there is so much to choose from. Something like the A900x is undoubtedly a safe and smart choice. And if you just want an incredibly durable workhorse headphone that is an efficient great sounding all rounder (other than the A900x) there are...

    Your first headphones?

    Some Beyerdynamic DT75s I bought at a music shop. Not sure what happened to them actually.

    I need some SERIOUS help looking for a new pair of cans.

    LOL Straight to the defensive. Whatever man, I don't come here to validate your choices.

    I need some SERIOUS help looking for a new pair of cans.

    The Shures are certainly great. But OP specifically wanted Beats like bass, so my recommendation would be ATH-M50. Seriously, the M50 is one the best bang for buck headphones there is and ideal for your purposes. You won't need an amp either. V-Modas aren't bad, but I've listened to the...

    Equipment for HE-500

    Why not go a Schiit Lyr? Power to spare and designed with orthos in mind... Combine with a Bifrost for (mainly aesthetic) synergy... or just take your pick of any DAC.

    Review by 'theeyealtering' on item 'FiiO E10'

    I've been using one of these in the office for a while now with various headphones and IEMs. It's kinda difficult to assess something like this because it costs under $100 and comparing it to other equipment I own, some of which is several times the price, seems unfair. First of all the build...

    So far, disappointed with AKG Q701.

    You basically described my exact experience of what my K702 sounded like when not amped adequately, i.e. straight out of my STX. Volume was fine, but didn't sound right: harsh top end, gurgly and distant vocals, flat and lifeless. I think it is partly due to the K702 revealing the lower quality...

    WORST headphone you ever heard?

    The worst I've heard (that cost any sort of money, so airplane buds aside) were a pair of those House of Marley ones. Just a dreadful flat, muddy sound and like $200.

    Rs2i VS HE-400 for Rock

    Haven't heard the HE-400, but I have heard other Hifiman orthos (HE-6 and HE-500) and I did like them a lot. Very smooth sound. Only I'd still much prefer Grados for rock. Especially hard rock/grunge/metal where I like headphones with a little more attack. Have you heard the RS2i?

    Rs2i VS HE-400 for Rock

    I'd probably go the Grados.

    Audioengine D1 or? for PC sound and Blu-ray player...Grado sr125i

    Sounds like the D1 is probably a pretty good solution for you. As for the mic, you'll have to go in via the computer soundcard, or alternatively buy a usb mic.
