Hi guys,   For over a year now I've been very pleased with Sennheiser HD600 powered by Schiit modi and vali combo. Before I settled on Sennheiser I remember testing maybe Grados sr80 and they were decent. Now, I have an opportunity to buy Grados very cheap and ... I am curious to try something...

Just like the title says ... I admit, I liked my bose mie2i. Problem is that the wire is all done and I am unable to find a new pair easily, so thought, why not try something new.   At home I have the HD600 and they are great but I need portable in ear headphones. Long time ago I tried 3-4...

Even being a hater towards Bose products, I do like their bose mie2i headphones. After having them for 5 years and them starting to look like crap with almost bare wires my wife got me a new bose mie2i (but the ones that don't have iphone control, so I guess is it IE2?)   Anyway, in terms of...

Hi guys,   If I solve this problem, I'll return the SACD player I just bought.     Every time I convert iso SACD files (multi channel) to FLAC in Foobar2000 ... foobar makes it a 44100hz file instead of keeping original that was 192000hz. Why is this happening? How can I tell Foobar to keep...

Maybe I am doing something wrong.   My set up...   Old PC (4-5 years old) no fancy sound cards or anything like that.   Schiit Modi (DAC) Schiit Vali (AMP) Sennheiser HD600   I plugged my Modi DAC to USB and thus from my knowledge my PC is not really decoding sound.   Using Foobar to...

Before I buy the Asgard2 and test it on my own ... just curious.... how important is the dac?   Right now I am listening to Modi/Vali with my HD600. Sounds very, very nice ... biggest benefit I hear is louder volume and clearer recording I guess.   I am just thinking that my HD600 can...

I'll start of by saying that I was biased towards HD598 as that's my set and even though indifferent to HD600 (owned by a friend of my), I did read a lot that it was a classic for many years.    Initially, 4-5 months ago when I compared HD598 to HD600 without using DAC or AMP, using WinAmp...

I am just curious. My Shiit Modi / Vali is arriving today and I'll be using it with HD598 and soon maybe with HD650 ... I know that just like many rave about high end $2,000 amps, same amount of rave you can see for cheap stuff simply because that's what people can afford and don't know any...

Just saw that because Crutchfield lowered their price to $449 ... amazon went down to $429 ..... is this a great deal>? should I bite?   thanks

Hi guys ... I am enjoying my Sennheiser HD598 and for someone who uses them mostly run out of my computer (with an old, cheap soundcard) I just want to see if I can get better and louder sound using a AMP under $300.   So far I narrowed it down to these.     Bravo ...

Hi guys,   sorry for the corny subject of the thread ...  I've done some reading here and it seems like if I want to spend under $500 for a in ear phones, those 3 models are some of the best money can buy.   Westone 4R vs Shure SE535 vs HifiMan RE-600   I currently use Bose MIE2i and to...

Hi guys ...   So I usually use Splice File Splitter but it's not working specifically with this file. I don't know.   Wavepad is not free. Can someone suggest a program to split up files?  preferably free one. :-)   thank you

Hi guys,   So, without using an amp, I am pretty happy with my Sennheiser HD598. If there was anything I'd want extra is maybe more depth (bass? ) to the sound thought I'll take clarity and soundstage over bass any day.   Being a person who always wants to know what's better available out...

So I now have the HD598 and I want to start exploring a bit into a higher tier headphones like HD600, HD800, HiFiMan-500, DT880, etc   I don't want to spend $500+ on an amp and yet I want something that is not going to be a joke when powering up those headphones. So my question is ... which...

Hi guys. ..   So, I am happy with my HD598, BUT ... I was thinking, is it a bad idea to add a bit of lows in my EQ from WinAmp player. Just a tad to the first 3 columns (not a technical way to describe EQ)   Any input will help. Thanks.

Hey,   How do I know that an amp is good enough to drive a 600 ohm headphones compared to let's say a 200 Ohm one?

Hi guys...   So after loving the sound I get from Sennheiser HD 380, I realized that I am not going to go through the trouble of using full size headphones on the train. Just not worth the extra hassle. I'll stick with my in ear Bose headphones.   Now .... since I now plan to use headphones...

So I own Sennheiser HD380 and even though it's only 52 Ohm and I think about 110 db sensitivity, I am happy with the sound. It's loud enough. I use mostly iPhone5 as source.   Now ... people that buy FiiO E12, Fiio E10 and other small AMPs just rave about how they 32-52 ohm headphones started...

So I am thinking of changing the cable from my Sennheiser HD380 (coiled and thick) to a straight 2-3 feet with possibly ipod control. Any chance that I may lose sound quality if I do that???   thanks

So, being a sound junkie, musician in my past life and pretty much someone who appreciates quality sound, I want to find a great pair of headphones to replace my Bose In Ear headphones.   I am going to buy today 4-6 different headphones just to try them out at home and possibly keep 1 pair...

Hi guys .... so ... I've been using the in ear headphones that came with iPhone (i know, don't kill me). I've used them simply due to comfort of having small wires as I listen to music only on the train. I do not walk the streets with music on, or jog, or anything. Just on the train.   Now...
