I own the 6XX and the TH-X00. I recently said screw it and and consolidated all my IEMs into one TotL pair (Prestige LTD) and am happy now that I have a one-and-done solution. Is there a full-sized headphone that just does it all? Fun bass, luscious mids, good extension in the highs without...

I LOVED these little IEMs, wore them to death (literally; both the mesh filters fell out and one of the earphone shells actually split and I superglued it back together). I have the S12 Pro planar IEMs as my dailys now, but am wondering what's the most music/engaging ~$20-30 set going around...

So I was on a tight budget of around $100 for an amp to drive my new HE-400i. Really wanted to get the Magni 2, but including shipping to Japan it was gonna be about $150, and I found the K5 for $85 on Aliexpress.   Its specs are as follows:     This was by far the most powerful amp I...

i thought this would be an interesting question to ask head-fi, because everyone seems to have an opinion on it.   for the longest time i got by with 1, 2, 4gb. then i moved up to 8gb, and that's where i would have stayed if it wasn't for my grado headphones and amp! i got a 16gb microSD for...

hey all,   i am a modest hi-fi enthusiast, not good with any of the technical aspects but i think i have a pretty clear idea of what i want. my brother is the audio/technophile of the family and he built me a pretty rockin' custom cmoy amp which he swears would sound better than just about...

hey all,    well i've been enjoying my clip for a few months now but lately the battery life has been starting to annoy me. i'm looking for something with mad battery life, and great sound quality that doesn't require an amp.   i think the J3 probably comes closest but in this case i'm...

hi again,   i have been cranking away on my 1st gen clip for a few months now, running rockbox with the stock flat EQ. the reason for this is that i know nothing about parametric EQs or how to equalise, and in my previous experience, presets like 'rock' and 'pop' all somehow manage to sound...

i know there are dozens of these threads already, and i think i've read them all. the reason i made a new one is cause i wanted to make a decision based on my own personal listening habits and preferences.   i own sr80s now - not the 'i' model - and they have served me loyally for a few...

i've had my SR-80s for a couple of years but just recently started taking them seriously, i coupled them up with a nice home-made CMOY and some hi-bitrate files.   however, cause they are a couple of years old, they've been beaten around a lot and are starting to show some wear-and-tear. the...

ok, it should be noted that even though this is an audiophile forum, my girlfriend is NOT an audiophile and has no idea about electronics/bitrates/hifi stuff. so audio quality is not an issue for her. it is, however, an issue for me, as i won't be able to stand by and just let her drop loads of...

hi all, first post.   my ipod nano has become really unstable so i wanna get something new.   i really don't care about video at all. i'm not gonna be watching videos on the move. photos, maybe, occassionally, but i have a smartphone for that.   after reading these forums a bit, i am...
