If anyone lives near Orange County in Southern California, there is a men's boutique store called "Cloth and Metal". They have a demo station and stock Audeze, Grado, Senheiser headphones and other top of the line closed backs from B&o and master and dynamic. and expensive DAC and amp systems...

I recently purchased a schiit stack that consists of the vali and modi and paired it with the X2; I am definitely impressed with what I am hearing. I think my sennheisers hd 600 might have to go............ 

Thanks for the response bark snarly! I have auditioned the h6 and noticed its excellent balance as well. I am trying to look for a cheaper alternative to the h6. The msr7s thin sounding nature is what is preventing to me from purchasing it. I gotta have my full mids.

Can anyone compare the msr7 to the B&O h6?

Thanks for the reply. I will probably get the magni. I already have a fiio e10, but the amp section is broken. I will connect the magni to the e10 line out. Does anybody have experience with pairing the fiio e18 to the seenheiser hd 650 by any chance?

Hi guys,   I will be purchasing a sennheiser hd 650 soon and was wondering what budget amp and dac combo would make the most out of the cans with a budget of $200. Thank you! If it helps, I listen to mainly blues, rock, metal, indie, and music with female vocals.

That was what I was thinking. Sweet haha. Thanks for the responses guys.

I recently got a pair xiaomi pistons as a gift. These are my second pair, but I noticed the pair I recently got has a few differences when it comes to the driver housings. The new pair has air vents that point out to the side instead of downwards like everyone else's and my old pair. Also the...

The fiio e18 works on my Oneplus one :)

I believe those are beyerdynamics dt 150

Thanks guys for the response! I will go for the sony mdr 1r mk2 as they are cheaper and seem to cater toward my sound preference. The comment about the 1r mk2 having more subbass is reassuring haha. The Vmoda m100 will definitely be next on the list if I end up not liking them!

I actually have the Vmoda XS and that is why I am trying to look for a full-sized headphone that has a similiar sound signature and better comfort haha.

I am in a situation where I can purchase the vmoda m100 or sony mdr 1r for a relatively cheap price. Are there any headfiers here who have had extensive experience with both? I tend to prefer a nice, lush, thick, and warm mid range, with a good punchy bass that is present (Did not like the bass...

To be honest, the ue 6000 look very bulky. I have seen and heard them at a best buy and I did enjoy the sound. But the bulkiness of the headphone and beatsesque styling throws me off.
