I'm pleased to say I am now an HE-400 owner . I couldn't wait till the DHL-man came and handed me the package.   I'm listening to the first couple of songs now, 96kh/24bit rip on my Mac Mini, sent to my FiiO E17 and to my headphones.   Coming from an HD-555...wow! There is an overall...

2 of my favorite albums are Kreator's Coma of Souls and Megadeth's Rust in Peace. Especially Coma of Souls sounds very good to my ears.   Interesting topic though, I'm very much interested in well-made (thrash) metal, as I'm expecting my HE-400 to arrive this Monday :D

I just went ahead and ordered an HE-400 and a set of velour pads, can't wait for them to arrive    It will be an upgrade from an HD-555 for me, hopefully they sound as expected. I'm going to be connecting them to a Fiio E17 (already have it), would it be a big difference to go with a Schiit...

Listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon for the first time ever (I know, I know). I'm totally loving it so far!

Also my props for metal-fi, I really like the way albums are reviewed. I hope you can keep up making one post everyday! (or even more )   Just being curious, what kind of equipment do you guys use to review the albums. I'm looking around for a new set of headhones.

Quote: Oh, you're actually a member of Carach Angren? I listened to you guys about a week ago, after I saw a post about you on metal-archives. It was with Spotify, and not my full attention, but I remember liking it. I think it was Death Came Through A Pirate Ship.   I'll be sure to...

Hi all,   I'm kind of new here (as an audiophile, not as a metalhead), but I need some help. I got my first pair of decent IEM's about a month ago, the Shure SE535's.   I thought they sounded good, but not that amazing for their money. Today I received the FiiO E17 DAC/AMP and....wow...

Hi all,   Over the past couple of months I've been contemplating upgrading my gear, with christmas coming up and all :) Right now I'm using a Sennheiser HD555, plugged in directly to my Macbook. I've been looking into the FiiO E7/E9 combo as a DAC/Amp, but I've read that it wouldn't make a...

Hi all,   I'm collecting cd's (legally) for about a year now. Now, collecting music is fun and all, but listening is where it's at.   At the moment I listen to most of my music with a Sennheiser HD 555 connected to a Macbook (early/mid 2008, the last black one). I can't hear a...
