EDIT: the "KZ ZN10 PRO X" in the poll is a mistake, it doesn't exist Hi there! I am looking to buy a cheap set of IEM's to replace my damaged Xiaomi Piston 3 and I narrowed it down to two models, the Moondrop Chu (20$) and the KZ ZS10 Pro X (30$) The Moondrop Chu caught my attention from one of...

Hi there! I would like to buy a DAC and can0t yet decide between the E17k Alpen 2 and the E18. I would use it most of the time connected to my notebook (which has pretty much awful audio quality) and to be connected to my Android 5.1 Lollipop smartphone (Cubot P12), but mainly to my pc. Which...

Hi there! I'm a little bit confused on all the models that FiiO has out there, so if anyone could help me it would be great (E17k vs E18 vs Q1)! My initial setup is very simple: I have a Sansa Clip (rockboxed) plus a FiiO E5.   I know that any amp+dac in the list above won't improve the...

Hi there! Some years ago I lost my music player companion: the Cowon D2 which I enjoyed very much. I still haven't replaced it with a new player, but the wait is over since now I have some money to spend. Do any of you know a player witch would be considered an upgrade from the D2 or at...

Hi there, my sister needs a headphone which she'll be using to watch movies and listen to some music (she listens to everything, probably more hip-hop and pop music). Her budget is in the 20-30 dollars range (euros since we are in Europe).   Portability is not a problem since the...

Hi there. I finally decided on my new headphones (I hope :P)   As you can see from the title I listen to metal (mainly, but I also listen movies's sound tracks, some hip-hop and classic music one in a while). Is there any difference between the two JVC that would suggest me to buy a pair...

Hi there! I have a set of: SoundMagic PL30 Philips SHE9800 Denon AH-C551 (similar to the Sennheiser CX 95) How does the Koss Porta Pro perform? Do they sound better/worse then the IEMS before mentioned? I will be using them at home in front of my computer and I was wondering if...

I would appreciate some help. I want to get a full-sized headphone and I am towards getting either the Shure SRH440 or Denon AH-D1001. Before I considered also the Sennheiser HD555 but when I discovered that it doesn't have much bass I removed it from the "list". I listen mainly to Metal...

EDIT: Please delete post. (thank you and sorry for the trouble)

Just wondering which of these is better. Any suggestion? Thanks.

I hope this is the right forum (if it's not I'm sorry). I have a Cowon D2 which I use with a pair of Denon Ah-C551 and I can hear some hiss. I want to buy the FiiO E5 which is known to add hiss, so I guess I will hear even more hiss with this portable amp. My question is...what value of...

Ok, we have a bunch of Metal threads, but I couldn’t find anything like this (if there is already sorry, but it looks like I’m blind): what about letting us know of unknown metal bands (or relatively unknown), those that probably we never heard of, but that you feel that are good and deserve...

What do you guys think would be the best purchase (if that is even possible to determine): - AKG K324P - Sony EX82 - Sony EX85 - Sound Magic PL12 - Sound Magic PL30 Considering the low price of these IE...it shouldn't even be considered...so what is the best only considering sound...

Hi there. I have the Denon AH-C551 which I'm happy about, but I wanted a cheap backup and I was interested in the Sound Magic PL30. What do you think of them compared to the Denon I have? Will I notice huge audio quality difference (the Denon are quite a bit more expensive)? Thanks

After a bit or research and help I am getting one of these: - Sennheiser CX95 at £39.99 (47.3 euros / 59.2 dollars) - Denon AH-C551 at £62.10 (73.5 euros / 91.9 dollars) So my question is: are the Denon AH-C551 worth the extra 22,11 pounds (26,2 euros / 32,7 dollars) over the Sennheiser...

I'm buying a Cowon D2 as a portable player and I'm still unsure on which earphones I should buy. I spent a lot of hours (reviews and forums) trying to find out a good, and I'm thinking to get one of these two: - Shure SE210 - Ultimate Ears super.fi 3 I listen mainly to Metal, but I do...
