I'm probably among the biggest fanboys of the many years ago discontinued M-Audio Q40 headphones. It is still my go-to headphones for my eletronica listening after having tested a lot of expensier highly regarded options but always came back for these for the sound which I'd describe as...

I don't know if I'm making myself clear with that thread title but I constantly was using the feature of the old forum software that kept track on threads I've posted in and showed threads to the top of the list in the order of when people responded to those threads. It was on the start page of...

I think this needs a discussion for sure, IMO it's the most noteworthy change for Windows 10 Creators Update. I'm a person with great experience in this field having experience from all these software pseudo surround configs: CMSS-3D, Dolby Headphone, Dolby Atmos, THX TruStudio Pro, SBX...

I have been thinking about buying a bluetooth headphone for use with TV and tablet and with phone every now and then and Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless and the Momentum Wireless have caught perhaps my biggest attention as the P7 Wireless it's supposedly very similar sounding as its non-wireless...

I'm looking for a hardware EQ as I'm tired of having to look for the headphones that comes with the balance I'm looking for "^--" shape as basshead headphones aren't getting the same kind of lovin' as other expensier headphones so they usually have more of a variety in the mids and highs and...

I watch this list of updated responses to threads I've posted in daily and a few times a day at least, currently it's not working, jumping to address http://www.head-fi.org/# so nothing happens when clicking it.

I just wanted to express my thanks for creating a separate section for recommendations etc, it made the forum browsing more convenient especially for us "regular Head-fi'ers" that mostly come here to seek info/feedback about new products or discuss the already existing ones and alike. Before the...

Here's a strange matter with probably an even more difficult answer; I'm looking  to use onboard audio, specifically I'm looking at the new Intel Z87 boards with the latest Realtek ALC1150 chipset. Some motherboards offer onboard op-amps that usually push up the "SNR rating" from 112dB to...

I'm starting to concider these 2 headphones now as they seem to best meet my criterias.   I'm looking for the following:   - Quite bassy but balanced mids & highs signature - Balanced midbass (80 - 150Hz) vs subbass (0 - 80Hz) presence - Looking for textured punchy bass with impact...

Well today I got to demo AKG K272 HD, Sennheiser HD25-II (adidas), Sennheiser HD 598 and Sennheiser Momentum as I went on a trip to Helsinki (capital) in Finland   The AKG K272 HD suprised me probably the most, REALLY enjoyed listening to this and to my suprise, I didn't find the bass...

Hi   Just thought I'd post as it's quite annoying to browse the forums for me atm as ESET keeps notifying everytime I browse to a new page/section in the forum with this:  

Can any RMAA experts please guide me through how to set this RMAA up correctly, I know Realtek HD onboard isn't ideal here but I'm only looking to measure frequency response of the ZO2.1 amp (well its bass contour levels) and at least I'd like to know how to set up this correctly.   I'm...

I'd like to find some replacement cable with a length 1.2 m / 4-feet ~ 3 m / 10-feet for the M-Audio Q40 as the stock one isn't the best and it doesn't either fully fit with my ZO2 amp as the jacks are like 0.5mm inside the amp and the stock Q40 cable lacks the small ring around the base of the...

EDIT: Short version because not all people fancy reading a wall of text for a simple matter: looking for a good quality 1.2 - 3.0 m 3.5mm stereo cable for my M-Q40 with not too thick plugs as well as 3.5mm stereo cable to go between the amp & source, 2.5 ~ 4.0 m or so. Price preferably below $20...

OK post your songs here that you wish you could find in high quality but is unable to find...   Let me start with 3 samples, I'll refer to Youtube      

The M-Audio Q40 has like a foam-ring glued onto the drivercasing around the outer circumference of the drivers which by the description I've seen by other headphone manufacturers is to increase bass response as the sound is directed more straight towards the ear. At the same time I keep...

The digiZoid ZO2.3 Impression & Discussion Thread     Since the version has been updated I thought it would be great with a fresh start as those early impressions in ZO2 Impression Thread doesn't reflect the current product anymore. This thread is to discuss and write about your ZO2...

I just got these but I already felt like having to write something about them.    These are what I'd call "refined" basshead headphones. Big punchy well controlled and accurate bass that's well separated from mids. The mids and highs are very neutral sounding except for a slight peak around...

First I'll have to apologize for the long post but it's required for you to get a better understanding of the background I have and I hope at least some1 will take their time and I'll appriciate it. Otherwise you can skip further down.     For quite a while I've been a fan of Audigy 2 ZS...

Like topic suggests, I'm looking for a hardware EQ since I'm at the point I simply don't want to limit my options for the source (read soundcard) depending on how great EQs they come bundled with. An EQ seems like a must have to me. I'd want it to have AT LEAST 10-bands but the more the better...

Is there any easy fix for this, if using my amp the electronical noise issues gets worse, especially with the sensitive XB500 headphones. Playing Skyrim forced me to use Realtek onboard as I had trouble with volume levels on my other soundcard. Gets annoying browsing around the net when u keep...

I'm just wondering if it's vented on the cups or not, I see that "grille" on the backside looks suspicious. I'm just wondering how the soundstage and isolation are on these, I do tend to prefer semi-closed designs as pretty much all headphones whit this design have brought improvement to...

I'm a bit interested in these but there's hardly any info on them out there and I wouldn't want to end up buying another headphone that might just end up on the shelf (as I'm too lazy to sell lowcost headphones as there's hardly any profit to be made). Maybe at least some1 has to have tried them...

This card seems to only process stereo signals and have no discrete 5.1 channel support it seems simply looking at the outputs. I use a custom Dolby headphone config on foobar2000 that I love so much but I wonder if I need a soundcard with discrete 5.1 support to get the maximum out of the Dolby...
