Anyone stil has their original HE500 headband by any chance? The reason why found this thread was cause one of my cans just broke loose cause of the idiotic design they had by having the 2 screws tight fitted into plastic :| I tried fitting some 2 smaller screws but of course I managed to...

So you ended up paying 50$ for the HE-560 headband and kept your old HE-500 cups. Didn't they have any HE-560 cups for you to purchase ? This is probably the route I'm gonna go too. So long story short, remove the HE-500 drivers from the old cups. Remove the old headband connectors from the...

I had a little listening session today and I compared the HE-500 to the HD650 so I will give you my thoughts ( I know the OP compared the HEs to the HD600s ). I also had a bit of a go with the K701s. Up until 3 weeks ago I was a happy AKG K550 owner ( used with a Fiio E10 ). Went to hear...

Could I be throwing my 2 cents in ? I will try and share the experience I had one evening at a friend's place which is not entirely related to the Schiit topic but rather made me realize some things about gear in general. When I tested the LCD2 and compared them to my K550 ( I know, right ...

Ideally ( and hopefully ) I will get the Modi 2 + Magni 2 Uber - but I'd still like to know the answers to my previews questions :)))

Damn I need to have this forum banned from my ISP. It's reallllllly hurting my wallet =)) Now - just ordered the HiFiMan HE-500 :D so my wallet is having a stroke already. Currently I own a Fiio E10 + AKG K550 - I decided to get the HEs after I listened to some LCD2s but found them just a bit...

Just got the R1 myself about 1 hour ago, and although it's never a good idea to get an opinion this fast I will post my first impressions. Please pardon the non-audiophile terms :) First off the package is impressive, the case is superb and OMG - soooo many earbuds. The build quality on the...

Tried changing the cable - a lot of options were tried. Plus if it would be a cable issue, how come the buzzing stops when a song it's played :)

@MrEleventy - I think that someone might have been me ( in 2011 when I got it ) :)) The problem occurs on 3 computers I tested it on so it's not a PC hardware issue. I wrote to Fiio - they said the E10 is out of warranty ( purchased it in nov 2011 ). However their ASIO driver was out in 2013...

Im having a bit of an issue with my E10 - it's been reported before but I think there's something I'm missing here. I have a early version of the E10 .. bought in nov 11. If I go through the sample rate / bit options I hear a certain BUZZ in the headphones. However if I choose 24/96 or 16/96...

I think it all comes down to a question of : what does a good sound mean exactly ?   From what I understand - the HM5 don't have a serious flaw to begin with - the sound when measured in a lab is clean, neutral and overall "right" - however when you listen to them - you don't get the wow...

Crappy part is -  there aren't any audiophile oriented stores in my town so I can't test anythin, and as I said - when it comes to AUDIO equipment and especially headphones which are so different, one must HEAR them out before deciding to pull the trigger - especially for what I am considering...

Not bad - any idea how much is the shipping cost on mp4nation to Europe ? I didn't get much info on the website related to that except they are sent from HK.   I am really afraid that these will sound muffed with no details and I understand they are exactly what I was afraid of. I mean I...

Hi - is the Lindy Premium Hi-Fi the same with the HM5 ? I live in Romania so I would rather find them in Europe. The price seems very good also ( for Europe at least )...

I wanted to purchase a pair of these from someone on the street today to replace my BrainWavz ProAlpha not that there's anything wrong with them but I wanted to move up in the league a bit and the price seemed decent, around 45$ used but in perfect condition. I met up with a guy on a fairly...

I am having a new issue with the E10 - I am not entirely shure it's it's own fault per say but whenever I use it with my Brainwavs ProAlpha IEMs - and most of the time that's what I use - I get a constant static even if the music is not playing. It's not the one reported some posts ago that...

What do you mean by Dedicated exactly ? It will sound A LOT better than ANY integrated sound card or laptop sound card. If by Dedicated however you mean some hi-end Asus Xonar Essence STX card - things might change a bit - don't know in who's favor - maybe some other memebers could answer...

Is anyone feeling any improvement by using WASAPI vs the regular DS on Foobar with the E10 ?

Quote: damn, very good album !! Exactly what I am into lately, throw some Jazzy sparkles to that awesome voice and you got something truly special ;)   Keep it coming ...    

What's even more interesting is that his live performances are also TOP NOTCH :) not to mention his band is petty much awesome. Although he's a commercial figure I can admit out loud that I like his music :D Since we're on the commercial area, Katie Melua doesn't sound bad either although I...

You mean Michael Buble ? :) His recordings are top notch - most of them and the music is good nevertheless. I like him too ( hoping we're talking about the same guy haha )

Yeah Diana Krall is awesome - the quality is very good however, technically speaking I can hear a background hiss/noise on pretty much all of her recordings regardless of what FLACs I try. Although the recording is GREAT, that hiss spoils it a bit :) I think the best quality song I got lately...

anyone ?

Hey fellaz, I just got a Fiio E10 a few weeks ago and generally speaking I am quite happy with it. For the price paid, it's a lovely little gem. However the AMP part is not what I would call a flawless thing, on higher volumes, the bass gets a bit bloated out on Audio Technica M50 and AKG K181...

I never heard the Beats but word goes out that the bass is somehow bloated and "consumer" oriented. So if they Sonys are going that road, I will probably not like them that much. Also I am a bit afraid of the suspect low cost on the V6s :) Also having the M50s for the testing and actually...
