I usually don’t talk about artists, but one of my all time favorite musicians/composer, Jóhann Jóhannsson died. His work really moved me. Much of the time I put on a headphone I’m listening to his work. The Arrival soundtrack is so special and different. The first time I heard it I couldn’t...

I’m in search for a totl iem that has basshead potential. I like an audiophile sound but want deep, extended bass that can take a lot of eq/bass boost. I also want forward, clear mids, and sparkly treble. I am also a soundstage nut. I like it big. I want it all. I’ve narrowed my selections down...

does anyone know if iPhone 8 streams Tidal hifi in 16 bit lossless? Also, if I’m using lightning out to external dac, is Tidal hifi being converted to aac or is it cd quality out of lightning on iPhone 8?

I am starting a tour for my 2nd Radius HP-NHR21. I ended up with 2 pairs so I'm offering one up for tour.   PM me to be added to list   https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.radius.co.jp/products/hp-nhr21/&prev=search   These are one of my favorite earphones. The...

The schatzii bullet 2.0 Bluetooth earbuds are available on touch of modern for around $250. Anyone heard these, or the originals? I don't think they are worth it.

I just picked up an iDSD micro from ifi. I need a new closed can because my wife keeps telling me that my AKG K712 and X2s are too loud.    I'm looking at NAD Viso HP50, Focal Spirit Classic (or would the Pros or spirit 1 premium be better?), or the Shure SRH1540s. I'm leaning towards the...

I just picked up an ifi iDSD micro and need (want) some new closed phones. My wife thinks my K712s and X2s are too loud when I'm in bed next to her.   I've narrowed down to Nad Viso HP50s, Focal Spirit Classic (tell me if the Pros or premiums are better and why) and the Shure SRH 1540s.  ...

I'm looking for new headphones that are hires capable for my foray into hires audio   Right now I burn all of my music lossless or purchase wavs from Bleep. I'm using iPod 160 gig or iPhone 6 plus 128 gig line out either to my car or to my Fiio E18 or Practical Devices XM5 headphone amp. The...

I have had the Practical Devices XM5 for just over a year now and am starting to have issues. With my Denon AH-D2000s no sound comes out of the left ear unless I fiddle with the volume. I have to turn the volume way up before the sound comes in. Also I'm getting static when I turn the volume...

I'm this close to buying an amp and have shopped around quite a bit. This will be my first real amp as I only have an E5 now. I've been debating whether to get something really nice but not too expensive and then maybe moving up later on or just to get 1 big all-in-one solution that would grow...

I'm interested in purchasing one but I noticed the images on audiophilechinas site are diferent than images on Headb.com. Also, the iBassos images (and names) are different as well.

I have the Audio Technica AD700s. I love how they sound but the bass doesn't have enough impact for me. I want to move up to something with the soundstage of the AD700s but with more bass. I read that the A900 have good bass (closed). Is it dramatically better than the AD700? I will be using...
