I'm trying to get my portable setup going, and from my research I think I have a decent understanding of how cans like the Viso HP50s, P7s, Momentums, H6s all relate to each other, and also a rough idea of how the JH13s, JH16s, K10s, Roxannes all supposedly relate to each other. Where I am...

Can anyone weigh in on how a low impedance summit-fi closed can like the T5p sounds in comparison to the currently popular closed portables like the NAD Viso HP50, B&O H6, Momentum, B&W P7, Focal Spirit Pro/Classic? 

If you compare the best $400 IEMs to headphones like NAH Viso HP50, B&W P7, B&O H6, Focal Spirit Pro/Classic, Momentum, AKG 545 what do you think comes out on top in terms of sound quality?

What phone/IEM do you think gets you the closest to portable nirvana? T5p? JH13/JH16/Roxannes?  Focal Spirit Pro? NAD Viso HP50? Ultimate Ears Personal Reference Monitors? Other?   If posting an opinion, please also list the contenders you haven't heard and so can't consider.

Still trying to learn the basics of the science behind this all, so forgive me if I make some major mistake.   So, if amplification is supposed to magnify the character of the headphones and the recording... And all amps differ in this only in terms of how they themselves divert from flat-FR...

I'm new to this hobby and enjoy it very much. But as I plan my next purchase I am struggling to make decisions on peripheral components, like DACs and amps. On the one hand I regularly read that the headphones I am intending to buy are notoriously finicky with regards to amp selection, are...

My circumstances are such that my portable setup will be where I listen to 90% of my music from. I'm ready to upgrade to some really good headphones and a portable amp (coming from Sennheiser HD 280 pro, unamped) and from the limited selection I can survey in my area, I like the B&W P7s the...

I'm still new into my headphone audiophile quest, and ready to take the next step. I went from years of Apple whiteys to a pair of Sennheisher HD 280s that I have had for the last two years or so. I really appreciated the increased detail I got from my music and feel a bit hooked on the whole...
