    Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 - Headphone Output Audio Quality

    Yes, thanks. I have gotten the S2 at a good deal myself and wanted to determine whether it's a good choice and worth its price (well, as much as one can expect). And I wanted to hear other people's opinions first. I think it's okay, but a little thin- or compressed-sounding, and lacking bass and...

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 - Headphone Output Audio Quality

    Hello, does/did anyone have the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 tablet, and experience with other tablets, and how would you rate the audio quality of its headphone output relative to other tablets?

    Samson SR850 (Superlux OEM) Review: A $50 Budget Champion.

    Really? Of all things, they are clearly better? They're the ones I ruled out first of all when looking for new headphones quite a while ago. I came from the 595 and wanted somthing different, also I found them clearly inferior to any other sound signature (except for imaging). I settled on...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    I have a Sennheiser 600 and since the cable is very thin, I once had to replace it, and because the 650 cable is much cheaper (and thicker) I chose it, it also was recommended as secret tip by some on the internet, creating some improvements or at least a change of sound. Well, I have to say the...

    AKG K601 & K612 Pro Owners... UNITE!!

    I've owned a Sennheiser 600 for a while now, and now I have a AKG K612 for comparison. The Sennheiser has a wider stage and a little bit more resolution. But there's also something that didn't satisfy me and this is confirmed by the AKG K612. While the Sennheiser is tiring and making me...

    AKG K702 (The Classic) vs. K612 Pro (The Upstart) – Review and Comparison

    Hm, so the HD600 ends up being the darling in the comparison. I wonder if I would agree with that, since I'm thinking of going over to AKG (or whatever I may find instead) from the HD600. I don't think there's much to like, it's just not very unlikeable, but it's constantly flirting with it...

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    I guess it's quite good, but I find it strangely grating in a subliminal way. I can't listen to almost anything for an extended period of time. Audio pleasure inevitably sounds like it is a nuisance with relatively low tolerance, but without obvious reason. I think the reason is most likely that...

    Brief Odac impressions

    Love my ODAC-O2 from Epiphany Acoustics, but the input jack of my AC-adaptor bends very easily. It consists of two parts, the connector itself, and the adaptor with the cable, which is connected to the connector by way of two very soft metal prongs. They have already been bent two times by...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Quote:   Ok, since I have some regrets about not getting a HD600, this might play into it. But if they aren't noticeably better as you say, this is good to hear. Or in any case it might limit my options to make it easier. But the bass really takes some getting used to. I can enjoy it for...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Not sure I would recommend it. Or simply put I wouldn't. I don't think it's a hifi-headphone. Many sounds except for bass feel a little indistinct and recessed, with no clear location. I would characterize it as ordinary consumer sound, for your Philips TV. If the bass were a little more...

    Buy HD600/650 or not?

    I find the Sennheiser HD 598 a good foundation on which to upgrade, but nothing more. I don't find it satisfying (anymore), and I think true sound quality should be a step up from that (though many others are not even there, or somewhere strange on a lateral path), and as far as I know (well...

    philips fidelio x1 vs hifiman he-400 (stronger natural midrange?)

    I hate ebay. Now I got an X1 instead of a HD600 because it ended earlier. I know I will regret it forever unless I decide not to ruminate over it. I'll decide not to rethink until I've had it a while...

    Sennheiser HD 595 replacement? Any other than HD 598?

    The AKG K550 are good... However, they are closed and though they may largely be better, they don't sound at all like open or half-open headphones... People don't pay mind to that, but I think it's kind of a factor... Anyway, I'm in exactly the same situation, I want to go with something...

    Sennheiser hd 600, Beyerdynamic dt 880/250 or Beyerdynamic t70p

    Find the Beyerdynamic very detailed, with good instrument separation, but I find them too thin-sounding, and the treble is next to being annoying also very unnatural and "tinny" in my opinion... I hear some things I didn't before, and together with the strong bass extention and definition in all...

    ** Sony MDR MA900 Review **

    I find it weird how this one falls "incredible short in every way" to the Philips L1 but then no further mention is made of this interesting result... Clearly the Philips L1 is the star and one should emphasize this in the review and conclusion of the Sony, unless there is anything else to be...
