Hey all, I’m looking for another pair of cans to add something different to my collection. I currently own an Audeze LCD-2F, Audioquest Nighthawk Carbon, and a Philips X2HR. Out of these my favorite sound is the 2F, fave comfort is the Nighthawk, and I use the X2 for gaming. I want a pair of...

Title says it all. I found my collection of CDs over the weekend, and want to re-rip them in higher than mp3/cd quality through Windows media player. Which software should I use to get the best experience and quality? Do I need more than the cheap, 5+ yr old usb CD player to rip with? Should I...

My Element 2 is in the process of dying. I’ve got some crazy static/buzzing coming from many inputs and outputs. I’ve tried new and different cables - rca, usb, aux. My source chain is mostly my desktop PC (motherboard) > Element 2 > headphones/speakers. My headphones are LCD-2F (my main) and...

Hello and thanks for taking a look at my post. Any help is appreciated. I'll start off by saying that there are 0 headphone/home theater dealers in my area, so trying before buying is not really a possibility. I'll have to rely on return policies. With that out of the way, here goes.... I...

So I have a pair of Bose QC 35 II that I tried for PC gaming for the first time last night. It seemed to me that audio and the display matched up, unless the audio output wasn't constant. I was playing PubG, and whenit was firing or moving in quick succession then it was synched, but firing...

I'm asking for my mother-in-law, who will be purchasing them for her husband. Quick precursor, my father-in-law is on home hospice and can never leave the house. The only thing that brings him a little enjoyment is watching TV programs. Usually he watches poker tournaments, fishing, sports...

So I'm purchasing these as a joint gift for my father's birthday. He is turning 67 and just retired. Budget is likely 150, and he needs an over ear design, with a closed back. That way he can drown out the super loud TV watching that my mother does, and not disturb her in the process with his...

I'm getting ready to convert my collection of CDs to an easier to transport solution. My plan is to RIP them to my PC and then upload them to OneDrive. I can then stream them via Bluetooth in my car, while driving, and listen through my gear at my desk, and eventually my next DAP . I'm not...

We bought a new TV a couple of weeks ago, a Samsung KS8500 and the sound mostly sucks. I live in an apartment so I can't turn our soundbar up very much at all. I also want something that will wirelessly stream music from my phone, and also allow me to play Xbox games (and chat in a party). I'm...

I want to get the most out of my current setup by adding to it whatever I need. I mostly game and listen to music via my PC. I've got a Creative SbZ soundcard and am currently using the audio control module to hook up my mic and headphones -- Sony z7.   I don't need something portable at this...

So title says it all. I'm an inexperienced head-fier looking for a headphone upgrade, or maybe sidegrade...honestly I am not really sure, and I don't know where I should go from this point.   A brief history for me, I bought my first pair of higher-end headphones quite a while back, a pair of...

I currently own a pair of AKG K702 Anniversary headphones, and am looking for something new. The k702s are comfy for about an hour and then start to place pressure on top of my head. Whatever I get, I want big OVER-EAR pads, and to be super comfortable.  I like the sound of the 702s, but would...

Hey, so it's been a couple years since I last posted. I bought a pair of AKG Anniversary Headphones from another member on here, and it was my first pair of non-gaming headphones, that I kept.   I had previously purchased and returned a V-Moda M100. The sound was great (I thought), but the...

Long story short, I bought a pair of V-Moda M100s last week, received 'em, turned 'em on....me = wowed. This was my first pair of higher end headphones, and I absolutely LOVE the sound signature. The problem is, the earcups are too small for my ears, and they cause extreme discomfort after a...
