I have a lot of over ear headphones, but most of them are quite large and heavy (what can I say, I have a type). The lightest & thinnest headphones I own are the Stella's. I'd like to have a lightweight pair for 3 reasons: for the sake of it, for travel, and for my VR setup. Assuming there's...

My friends and I play competitive/hard-core FPS games. One of my friends absolutely struggles to locate sound direction in-game, while I'm able to pinpoint a gnats fart from 100 meters away. I tried to tell him it's because of his crappy wireless headset. I use Sony Z1Rs, Focal Stellia's, and...

In your opinion who makes the best cables (custom or other) in the U.S.? I'd like to purchase nice copper or silver cables for meze empyrean and focal stellia but I find $500+ for a copper cable to be too extreme. What are your preferences for cable company's and/or independent cable makers?

I was eye-balling the meze empyrean but many said it has a veiled / stuffy sound signature. So in your opinion, what's the absolute best open- back headphones that are highly comfortable?

In your opinion which closed backs have the best soundstage? Let's keep the price sub $5000.

I know this is unusual request, but what's the best wireless IEM product thats designed for working out / waterproof? If possible, id like to know the best (no price limit) and what's the best for sub $500?

My better half needs a new pair of wireless headphones that she can use for working-out and hanging around. I got her a pair of wireless earbuds years ago but the battery didn't last long and couldn't wear while charging. So preferably I'd like headphones - or at least earbuds that can be worn...

Hey guys. So I asked something similar in the portable forum but I'd like to expand upon it. I have an unusual situation which requires me to constantly work from a laptop. So my hifi setup requires small / portable devices that I can place into my large backpack. Right now I'm using a chord...

Is there a good tried-and-true portable dac/amp that's capable of outputting 4W of power? I was browsing amazon and saw this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MTNK3ZT I figured I'd ask you guys if they're legit or is there better?

I'm looking at both of these headphones and was hoping someone here has listened to both.  My understanding is the XC is quite heavy while the Ether is light.   But which has better soundstage, bass, clarity, and imaging?  Also (quite important) how is the isolation and sound leakage on both...
