But will the fiio cable fit the sony? The sony's have their special plug...

Hi, I'm trying to get a short mmcx cable for the xba z5 (so it could connect to my clip on bluetooth amp) Any ideas?

Hi, Will running the xba z5 on a bluetooth headphone amp (fiio btr1k in my case) do them justice? And what about directly from a (relatively high quality) smartphone output?

Eventually, after too much time spent on reading headphone reviews, I decided to intuitively order a pair of ath-im70 (I have great faith in audio technica) Will report back when they get to me

Hi ljokerl. Thanks so much for the reply, and for this amazing thread.   - Can you comment regarding "sony-ish" sound with comparison to the main candidates above? - Should t-peos altone2000 should be considered in this category?

  Hey Suman, Thanks for your help. - Is the build quality of the DN-1000 anywhere near MA750? - What is your impression of the sony xba 3? Is it driven easily by any source? Does it have a full sound with good bass response, and good detail?

Do the MA750 have a BIG sound? I'm really impressed with their build quality, but fear they are more a basshead iem, rather than a balanced one with good bass.   I did get to try the sony XBA H2, with my source (galaxy s4), and was really impressed by the sound. I wonder if XBA 40 could...

Hi, I currently listen mostly to RE0, which I absolutely love. I'm looking into buying another IEM, in the sub 200$ department, that would sound differently, looking for a bigger sound with more bass (I have a pair of brainwavz R1, which brought the idea of bigger sound into my life)...

I have the mic model, which is designed mostly for iphone. This makes the headphones not suitable for all 3.5mm sockets (TRS & TRRS), including the 6.35mm adapter provided with them. They do not work well with my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 as headphones. I spoke about it with mp4nation...

I've eventually decided to go with a meier corda SWING. I feel safer buying from a European maker (and a fine maker as I have heard), with a real 2 year warranty. Hopefully I could send some report about it soon.

Did you order from the audiophille china website, and everything was okay?

Hi, I started another thread a few days back (http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/536307/budget-headphone-amp-for-k702-for-studio-use), but couldn't come to a conclusion, so I decided to raise a new question.   In the other thread I was purposed a few analog solid state amps for under 300...

They say that in this pricerange (and maybe 2-3 times more)  head-direct RE0 , are the best money can buy. I have them and they're awsome. Search for reviews.   About 90 USD shipped.

Do they create a real vacuum in your ears?

Hi, I just got a speedo aquabeat mp3 player, so i could swim while listening to music. It's baseically an iriver played branded with the speedo logo, that comes with waterproof IEM's, 2 triple flange eartips, and one standard medium silicone eartips (take a look at the photo below). The...

Thanks for the replies. I guess is the answer is try & then maybe get a reasonable headphone amp, or consider another more easily driven headphones. I was thinking about the grado sr325is. Any other suggestions?

Hi, I own the MR816 X by Steinberg and was wondering whether the interface will hold the AKG K701? They say it's a good headphone amp, and it does sound good with my ATH-M50s, but I'm not experienced enough to judge. The specs are in here...
