I've had my Fiio E7 for several days now, and it is an outstanding product.  I've been using it with my HD555.  Build quality is top-notch, and the dramatic improvement from my laptops' audio outs is tremendous, however, there is one huge, nagging issue.   Randomly, a hissing/static sound...

I got my first real pair of headphones a day or two ago, the Sennheiser HD555.  In the first thirty minutes of using them, I was extremely impressed.  Then my brain began to dissect what I was hearing.  Two days later, I can't listen to them without cringing.  The highs are murdered, the lows...

I just ordered the HD555 and I need a portable amp.  I've been trawling the interwebz looking for suitable units and have been considering buying the Fiio E7, until I found the PA2V2.  The reviews on the thing are awesome, and it seems like I could save a good deal of money with it.  The only...

LONG VERSION Hi, guys.  I'm just a n00b looking for some guidance.   I need a set of usable cans in the worst way.  I can feel myself becoming an audiophile.  I'm not sure that's a good thing, considering it is very expensive.  I'm just a poor teenager!   I own a pair of Shure SE110...

Hello.  I already posted about this, but it was in the wrong section, didn't ask specifically, and was overall a big mess.   Anyway, I just wanted to know what the best sound card under $100 for primarily gaming, but also music and movies is.  I'm building a custom rig and would really...

Wrong section.

Never mind.   Wrong section.

Hi there.  I'm new to these forums.  I hope I put this thread in the correct section.   I'm building a gaming rig and haven't settled on a sound card.  (If anyone's interested I'll put the specs of this computer-to-be at the bottom of this post.  They're pretty nice.)   Anyway, I'd...
