    Wireless In-Ear Headphones (Powerbeats2 / Jaybirds / etc. for Gym and such)

    Thank you so much for the response.   Have you tried hers at all? I'd love to hear a comparison. I've never bought into the Beats hype as most of their stuff was sub par in the past. However, these are supposed to be quite good and the Jaybirds are always well revered. It's extremely hard to...

    Wireless In-Ear Headphones (Powerbeats2 / Jaybirds / etc. for Gym and such)

    Anyone at all? I'd like to purchase a pair by tomorrow morning from Amazon so I can have them here on Tuesday.   I'm mainly asking are there any alternative options besides these two that are worth mentioning and if not, which of these two would you recommend and why?   Thank you.

    Wireless In-Ear Headphones (Powerbeats2 / Jaybirds / etc. for Gym and such)

    ...out during physical activity.   What would you guys recommend? Are the Powerbeats2 worth the price, great for staying in while moving, and do they have decent sound quality *AND* Isolation (at least somewhat) to drown own ambient noise while at the gym or elsewhere?   Thanks for the help!

    Headphones for Gaming & Music / Movies?

    I've recently gotten back into competitive gaming and I also watch a lot of movies and listen to music nonstop. It's probably a 50/50 split of priority between gaming and movies/music. I've normally used headsets like Astro A40 or Sennheiser PC360 but I've been looking through prices of...

    Best "Starter" Headphones? - HiFiMan HE-400 / AKG K712 / Sennheiser HD650 / Sennheiser HD600

      Yes, I like the Velours much better than the Pleather pads. It doesn't completely fix the issues I had with the sound but it greatly improves the overall airiness and open type of sound with them.   How would I go about doing that? I'm assuming I would need to do it on my computer since the...

    Best "Starter" Headphones? - HiFiMan HE-400 / AKG K712 / Sennheiser HD650 / Sennheiser HD600

    I actually saw them and considered it for quite a while. (They are sold now.) However, I know they are actually heavier than the HE-400s while still having the same "basic" tonality plus needing additional amplification so I figured they probably weren't for me. Thank You for the heads up...

    Best "Starter" Headphones? - HiFiMan HE-400 / AKG K712 / Sennheiser HD650 / Sennheiser HD600

    Thanks a lot for all of the help. (By the way, aren't the Beyerdynamic headphones supposed to be known for their brightness? I actually was considering them but scratched them off the list after reading many people mentioning their fatiguing treble. Aside from those and the three brands...

    Microphone to Pair w/ my HE-400s and Magni + Modi Combo

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question so forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong forum. This will all be connected to my PC so I figured this would be a good place to ask. :)   I'm looking for a microphone to pair with my new setup that I'll finish tomorrow. A huge...

    Best "Starter" Headphones? - HiFiMan HE-400 / AKG K712 / Sennheiser HD650 / Sennheiser HD600

    One more quick question if you guys don't mind.   What Amp/Dac Combo would you guys recommend to pair with the HE-400s and HD600s? I searched everywhere but, as usual, read completely split opinions depending on where it was posted. Normally, it seems, people struggle to be unbiased and simply...

    Schiit Magni + Modi for HiFiMan HE-400?

    I just purchased a pair of HE-400s and I'm trying to find a nice Amp + DAC Setup to pair with them. I'm looking to spend around $150-$200 on the final pieces and from what I've read, the Magni + Modi stack seem to be excellent performance for the price and the best plug and play setup anywhere...

    Best "Starter" Headphones? - HiFiMan HE-400 / AKG K712 / Sennheiser HD650 / Sennheiser HD600

    I found a great deal on a pair of HE-400s so I snagged them with the mindset that since I have a Sennheiser G4me One in my possession, I can listen to both and compare their overall tonality. I'm aware the 558/598 drivers won't be identical to the HD600s, but since I owned the PC360 for a long...

    Best "Starter" Headphones? - HiFiMan HE-400 / AKG K712 / Sennheiser HD650 / Sennheiser HD600

    Here is my final question before I order, and I may even end up getting both the HD600s and HE-400s to try if I can make it work and keep the ones I like most. I would prefer to just buy one and save myself the trouble if possible, though.    What will be the best option for me with ~...

    Best "Starter" Headphones? - HiFiMan HE-400 / AKG K712 / Sennheiser HD650 / Sennheiser HD600

    That makes a lot of sense and it appears nearly everyone thinks the HD600 would be the best bet. I think I'll cross off the HD650 and K712s for now. It seems the HD600 is the better choice for me between the Sennheisers and I honestly can't get a clear view on the K712s because the reviews and...

    Best "Starter" Headphones? - HiFiMan HE-400 / AKG K712 / Sennheiser HD650 / Sennheiser HD600

    Thank You for your input. What would you say are the key differences between the 600's and 650's sound? I've tried to find the differences but depending on where you look, the opinions differ vastly. lol    As I understand it, the K712s and K702 Annies are identical in all aspects so I'm sure...

    Best "Starter" Headphones? - HiFiMan HE-400 / AKG K712 / Sennheiser HD650 / Sennheiser HD600

    I am looking to enter into the audiophile world. I'm hoping to find as nice a pair of headphones as possible in the Used Market for around $300, as that fits well into my budget and allows me room to purchase a nice Amp and possibly DAC to pair with them. I will likely have a microphone added to...

    Headphone Amp / DAC + Astro Mixamp + Other Questions

    Bump. :)   Also, after further research, I have learned that the Mixamp would act as the DAC in an audio setup, as would a sound card, so my question there would shift to what is the better option to add to a nice desktop amp between the Mixamp, a dedicated sound card, or a Schiit/Fiio DAC? I...

    Headphone Amp / DAC + Astro Mixamp + Other Questions

    I am building a decent system for my desktop PC. It will be used for approximately 40% Gaming, 40% Music, 20% Movies and TV Shows. Right now, I've ordered a pair of Sennheiser G4ME Ones + Sennheiser G4ME Zeros (their new red/white gaming headsets) to test and see if one of them fits my needs. If...

    AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition

    How much do you foresee the Annie's dropping in price due to the release of the K712 PRO? I was ready to pull the trigger on a new pair since the used ones cost as much or more, it seems, but then this is announced and I'm afraid if I purchase them and they don't fit my taste that I will lose a...
