    The Closed-Back Headphone Thread (Plus Comparisons & Reviews)

    Any suggestions for over-ear headphones which sound similar to the RE-400 IEMs, maybe with a somewhat more "musical" sound signature? Budget around $200-300, used mainly for jazz, rock and classical (some hip-hop, R&B, and a bit of pop). Preferably comfortable enough to be worn for several hours...

    Hifiman IEM's: RE-400 and RE-600

    So, I've checked out a few of the suggestions you guys gave me and did some research of my own. I'm looking at: - Sony MDR-C900ST - AKG K371 - AKG K361 - Shure SRH840 Which one of them is most similar to the RE-400? From what I've read, my best bet would probably be the SRH840. Does anyone have...

    Hifiman IEM's: RE-400 and RE-600

    What are the main differences between the DT770 and the RE-400, if you care to elaborate? I realize I'd have more options if I could go the open back route, but that's not possible right now so the DT880s are a no-go, sadly. I've also read some really good things about the DT177X Go. I'll check...

    Hifiman IEM's: RE-400 and RE-600

    Hi all! I'm a long (looong) time RE-400 user. They're by far my favorite IEM of all time. I bought them for the first time in 2016 (I think) and my little brother lost them. Bought them again in 2017/2018, and have been rocking the same pair ever since. I'm looking for some closed full-size...

    [2021 Update] Venture Electronics (VE) Monk V2, Monk Plus & Monk Go: a $5 earbud that taking the world by storm!!!

    I just got 2 Monk+ today. This order was way faster than the previous one! It took less than a month, I'm really pleased. As for the sound... well, what can I say that hasn't been said already? I love them! I ordered one with the extra accessory package, and the ear hooks are great. I'll be...

    [REVIEW] HifiMan RE400 ‘Waterline’ – The New Reference

    I honestly don't see why so many people say they lack bass. the bass is there, and it's very much present, but only when it's necessary. it has great impact and speed, but it stays very controlled. these are by far the IEMs I've liked most out of the ones I've had. they're great for pretty much...

    [REVIEW] HifiMan RE400 ‘Waterline’ – The New Reference

    I just got these and lord oh lord... I had never heard the higher frequencies like this. I owned the GR07 and, from memory, the lows on them were more pronounced. but these have just the right amount of everything, I've already listened to EDM, house, classical, jazz, prog rock, and rap and...

    [2021 Update] Venture Electronics (VE) Monk V2, Monk Plus & Monk Go: a $5 earbud that taking the world by storm!!!

      lol, that's what attracts me the most to these phones! $5 seems like a hell of a deal for great sounding buds. I just want them to be an upgrade over the Apple earbuds, and I bet he'll really appreciate the gift.    also, you have great taste in music

    [2021 Update] Venture Electronics (VE) Monk V2, Monk Plus & Monk Go: a $5 earbud that taking the world by storm!!!

    I'm thinking of buying a few pairs of these, a few for myself (in case they break or get lost, since they're just $5) and one pair for my grandfather. He listens mostly to classical music and some rock, do you guys think these are a good fit for those genres?

    MEElectronics M6 PRO Musician's In-Ear Monitors

    I'm wondering this as well. The one complaint I have is that they get too harsh at times, I can't even imagine how the original M6 was

    MEElectronics M6 PRO Musician's In-Ear Monitors

    I've also gotta say, I believe the reason these can be called "stage IEMs" is because of the instrument separation. I had never heard the instruments so clearly distinguished. This is helpful for me because I'm a bass player and they have helped me to figure the bass parts out in some songs I...

    MEElectronics M6 PRO Musician's In-Ear Monitors

    I just got these and, I must say, I'm pretty impressed. I've had the Shure SE215, VSonic GR07 MKII (my favorite so far), V-Moda M80s, and some other earphones; these surpass all but the GR07, imo. The instrument separation is amazing, to say the least. I really like the powerful (yet not...

    V-MODA Crossfade M-80 Reviews

      I've also noticed they sound... big. I can't find another word for it. they just sound big. like the sound is all around you and just envelops you, sort of. I love it! :)

    V-MODA Crossfade M-80 Reviews

    I'm enjoying these sooo much. they're the most fun-sounding headphone I've owned!   the good: - the bass has a really nice slam but it does not overpower the rest of the sound. - the mids are gorgeous, vocals and guitars sound so pretty! - the highs could be better, but I really can't...

    V-MODA Crossfade M-80 Reviews

    does anyone else find these to be quite picky with the audio quality? if I play things that are not very well recorded they are less forgiving than any other earphones/headphones I've had... but when I play good quality music, they just shine so much. so is it just me or are they really picky...

    V-MODA Crossfade M-80 Reviews

    I have a question regarding shipping. I ordered mine 2 weeks ago (December 9th) and have yet to receive them. It's international shipping, so how much longer should I wait without worrying?

    [REVIEW] Sony XBA-1 and XBA-4

    Quote: agreed. these are much more balanced. the bass is amazing for my taste: it's got less quantity than the SE215, but it's much more accurate. and they're currently like $35 off Amazon, so it's really a no-brainer.

    [REVIEW] Sony XBA-1 and XBA-4

    I just bought a pair of XBA-1. The price seemed attractive and I needed some cheaper IEMs to use outside. I have to say I don't regret my purchase in the least. Mind you, I just started listening, but I already like them a lot. They're not exceptional in any part of the spectrum, but their...

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    Quote: You won't regret it, trust me and everyone who recommends the GR07s. About the portable DAP, my personal suggestion is an iPod Nano 7G. I use it with my GR07 all the time and they pair up nicely. The Sansa Fuze, Clip, and Clip+ are also highly recommended here, they're reliable and...

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    Another album suggestion: re-Foc by Rodrigo y Gabriela. Their music is acoustic guitar based. It's a mix of rock and various Hispanic/Latin genres, which makes it heavy but also incredibly rhythmical. The album is very well recorded, and the GR07s present it in a way I find hard to describe with...

    Do you think audiophiles have a much deeper appreciation of music than the general public?

    I'm not really an audiophile, but ever since I started getting into hi-fi I started appreciating my music a lot more. I downloaded all my music again, tagged everything properly and started using foobar. I really started appreciating my music a lot more once I got into high quality audio.

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    Will do, thanks for the suggestion. You'll fall in love with the album once again, seriously. As for the differences... I don't really know, but I believe there's a quite a few posts about it on the Appreciation Thread. Also, I think Eke was going to do a comparison sometime soon.
