    Sony MDR-XB90EX worth the money?

    Hi,   I think the Senn is a good inear, more compact with less diaphragm area. So expect the Sony has plenty more "torque" and flesh. It is higher priced, too, so not the same level for comparison. If you have the money, go for the Sony.     Some thoughts I wrote in the XB90 thread:   I...

    Thoughts on the Sony MDR-XB90EX?

    Hi hi,   I also got into the MDR XB90ES these days, and I need to say, it is pretty close to the expensive flagship MDR 1000 I used and loved before.   The XB90 is close in terms of resolution, soundstaging, clear and colorful voices, lack of dumm phase problems. The XB90 is a pretty dynamic...

    Review by 'Airwin' on item 'AUDIO TECHNICA ATH CKW1000ANV'

    The ATH CKW1000ANV went down to a acceptable price range these days.   If good sealed, the sound is all right over all. Something like "no frequency or behavior of this thing is really disturbing"  (but over all clearly behind Sony 1k and Fidue A83 for sure) Best attribute: You can hear long...

    Reply to review by 'airwin' on item 'Fidue A83 Reference Class Triple Hybrid IEM'

    Hi, yes - it is one of the very best  IEMs out there, and I love it.   @tbg: The rating changed with the customer support. No matter how good a product is, without a strong company / customer support, it's pretty fast worthless in some situations. Customer support is cleared now, and all thumbs...

    Review by 'Airwin' on item 'Fidue A83 Reference Class Triple Hybrid IEM'

    In short words:   The Fidue is on par with the Sony EX1000 (little less sound stage and depth, but better, more flat sound signature)     Downside: Cable plugs to the earphone speakers was worn out after very short time. They has play and lost contact then. Maybe they was not resistible...

    Substitute for the ZuneHD ... ?

    Hi, thanks. Got the DX90 here, but sold it due it's uncomfortable sizing and form.   I'm into my ZuneHDs again. :-)   But ... I will give Sony a chance. What is the difference between Sony F806 and 886 and ZX1?  (Beside the incuded headphones)

    Substitute for the ZuneHD ... ?

    Hi,   the Sony looks good, no doubt.   I try out the iBasso DX90 at the moment. Display, battery life and size are not ideal.  Custom EQ is a small plus vs. the ZuneHD.   Still prefer the ZuneHD, but also like the DX90.   Maybe later I will give the Sony a chance. Does it has a custom EQ ?

    Fiio x5 vs Ibasso dx90

    Does the dx90 has a custom EQ, or is this a X5 feature only?

    Substitute for the ZuneHD ... ?

    Hello,   I got a ZuneHD and simply love it. But over the years, the phone jack is worn out. I get another ZuneHD to keep my music in the gym running. However, it's time to go for a alternative. Simply not sure what's the right choice. Maybe you can help me.     The device should be / have...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Sorry guys ... but if "normal" cables are being used (like the original Philips, or any other cable that can handle the "power") you simply can't hear a difference.   Subjectively maybe ... the same way you think you are a better sportsman when wearing sneakers with the newest design.

    Sony EX1000 Review and Impressions Thread (with comparisons to FX700, GR10 and e-Q5)

    If you want to EQ the EX1000, try it with a notch around 8-12 kHz.   For me, the 1k is getting smoother in treble over the time, or maybe I getting smoother (or my sweat made this ^^) ... on the other hand I have to commit, that the little treble spot makes music alive in low and mid volume...

    If you do it right, there'll be _objective_ no difference sound quality.

    JVC HA-FXZ 100/200

    I received the FXZ200 JVCs for the time, where my Sony MDR EX1000 are in Service after hard use.     To make it short:   The JVCs are pretty good earphones, the most neutral 3 way IEs I ever had. Voices are smooth, dynamics and room are fine.   In comparison to the EX1000, the Sony...

    Mobile player with blend function?

    Thank you.   Hmmm ... I don't want to Change the iPod touch, the big Display is nice to work with and great in combination with SM Pro DiDock.   I found a app: http://amidio.com/dj/ and I like the Options it gives. Something like this will do the Job.   The app is made for iOS 4.2...

    yeah .. thanks for the rockbox idea. Wished it work with iPod touch, then it would be perfect.   But it doesn't :-(  (or should Rockbox work with the iPod touch 1st Gen.?)     What ist the best Player from apple for rockbox?  (I got a SM Pro DiDock with symetrical out, and I have to...

    Mobile player with blend function?

    Hello!   Is there a mobile Player with blend function in the market? ( a device that mixes the end of the actual song with the begin of the next song)   Just know my old iPod touch and my ZuneHD don't do this, but it'll be fine for the next summer Party.     Any ideas what to buy...

    Topping D20 anyone?

    Hi,   ordered the D20 to drive some RCF active speakers (I had humm problems with the speakers and HTPC, the optical SPDIF fixed the problem).   Built and construction is exeptional, like Topping TP30 and other units of this brand. Sound quality is top notch (IMHO), had some other DACs...

    IEM's < $500 Monster Pro Gold, Monster Miles Davis, SM3, Westone 4, Sennheiser IE80

    Quote:   Not sure why, but I guess you got no good ear seal like some other headfi members. Sony EXK1 got one of the best, deepest and balanced bass sections of any IEMs, and the highs are getting smooth in short time. Got my 2. pair EX1k and they are as perfect as the first one, and...

    ... Sonys ... with Complys extreme energetic, but less 'around the head' soundstage and air. I prefer the airness, sometimes I use Complys when spinning in the gym.

    Ferrari of IEM's?
