I am looking for wireless headphones up to $1000 max and the two things I care for is sound quality and comfort. Bonus if it can connect to my PC with low latency. I am going to be using them at home while moving around a bit, and I just don't like wires, so I don't care about ANC...

Hello, 2 years ago I was thinking to buy the X2, but I didn't due to the price. I recently bought the Sony MDR-1A and I am quite happy with the results. Now the X2 is on offer (€140) and I am trying to decide if I should get it. Is the X2 significantly better from the MDR-1A?

Hello, I usually listen to music using Spotify on my phone, but occasionally I connect my headphones (Sony MDR-1A) on my PC, because it can drive my headphones better (louder, music seems to be bunchier). I am happy with the sound I get from my computer (uses on-board sound of this...

I am member here since 2013 and I've made 80 posts so far. And yet I can still not post a new thread without it first being approved by a Mod.   How come then and every so often this forum gets filled with spam by spammers who just joined?

Amazon.fr will have the Sony MDR-1A on a Lightning deal in about 11 hours from now and I expect the price to be €99 (that was the price in the last 4 Lightning deals).   This is the best price I've seen the MDR-1A, and in the US they are much more expensive but still recommended.   However I...

Assuming I start with nothing (e.g. just the earphones that came with my smartphone), If I had $100 to spend on audio equipment should I spend them all on headphones? Or should I spend $50 on the headphones and $50 for an amp/dac? (or some other combination). What if I was willing to spend $200...

Hello,   I am looking to buy a cheap DAC for my PC as the sound I get from it is a bit worst than what I get from my smartphone for some reason (even thought it has a decent ASUS motherboard).   I am not looking for the ultimate DAC since my headphones are all under $75 and I am not planing...

Hello,   I am considering to buy the Fiio EX1, to be used mostly with my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S4 mini).   When used with my Creative Aurvana Live! I need to have my mobile at 90% and sometimes at 100% volume to get it as loud as I need it. The CAL! have Impedance of 32ohm and 103dB...

Yes, I know one is an over-ear and the other one an IEM, but if I could buy only one which one should it be?   Assuming I can find the Sony MDR-1A for €99 and the 1More for €89, which of the two will give me the best sound for that amount of money when driven by a mobile device?   Also what...

I can find the FiiO EX1 for about €60 and I am trying to decide if I should buy them.   My current main headphones are the Creative Aurvana Live and I also use the MEE Runaway Bluetooth headphones. I am also planning to buy the Sony MDR-1A in the near future (I am waiting the price to drop to...

Hello,   I am looking to upgrade my Creative Aurvana Live! with something better sounding up to €150.   Apart from a significant upgrade in sound quality, I am also looking for headphones that use a standard 3.5mm plug so I can easily attach a bluetooth receiver on them when needed. This...

Hello,   I was looking to buy more expensive headphones (€150+) but I decided that maybe I should try something a bit cheaper first and I narrowed it down to the above 3 headphones as they seem to be good bargains at their current prices.   I will be mostly listening to EDM from my PC or...

Hello,   I've read that as a general rule open headphones are better than closed ones (isolation is not an issue). Is this true for EDM music as well?   Would something like the Fidelio X1/X2 perform better than equivalently priced closed headphones for EDM?   Thanks

Hello,   I decided to buy the Fidelio X1 (but maybe I should wait for the X2 to become available??).   The only thing that bothers me is the reports about poor fit on people with larger heads!   My head size is above average, I measured the circumference to be 58cm (a bit under 23"). Can...

Hello,   I am looking for some nice headphones to buy for a budget under £180 / €230 (I will be buying from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.de)   The headphones will be driven by either a mobile device (Android / iPad) or from my computer (and maybe occasionally from my A/V Receiver), so they need to...

Hello,   I am looking for some good on the ear or over the ear stereo bluetooth headphones, preferably under $100 (but I could spend a bit more).   I would also like the option to use them with a wire.   Apt-x is supported by my phone, so that would be a bonus.   My short list so far...
