So the one you bought that was just a DAC ($60), is that worth it? Like just the DAC since I've noticed the DAC and Amp combo is quite out of my budget at the time. So will I be able to notice a huge difference from just the DAC?

Anyone?

So I am going to purchase the Grado SR80e mainly because it fits my genres of rock and classical.  Now from my understanding, a DAC converts binary into analogue and that all computers with headphone jacks and mp3 players have DAC's that aren't good. And if I'm correct, an amplifier helps...

Delete this please, I can't delete it for some reason. (Posted in wrong section and realized right after) 

Maybe you guys called it trash due to the genre you guys listen to maybe? I use mine mainly for hip hop/rap/pop/ and Soul. It works perfectly fine for it's price except for Soul where the voices wouldn't be called crystal clear. I wouldn't recommend keeping it if you listen to orchestral music...

Quote: Yeah, I'm not looking for IEM's. I'm looking for some OEM's. 

Quote: I'd recommend at least 4-5 days of burn-in (96-120 hours). I used white noise for the entire process.   Before burn-in it sounded cold, after the burn-in it improved and felt a bit warmer (suck at describing sound).   And ever since I burnt them in, the sound quality improved...

Sufficient03, I actually think it's just that the headphones either are a counterfeit or are defective. I can't say it any other way. the S4 are one of the heaviest bass IEM (in-ear monitors just incase you didn't know) that you can get for under a $100.   I'll tell you my experience with...

Well, since I won't be taking this out of the house often, it will most likely be connected to my PC. I might plug it into my iPad or iPod touch every now and then.   Also, can you recommend a headphone with isolation? For some reason, I can't get the feeling of being separated from society...

I'm not sure then. If what you say is true, then that might be the only problem. So far, my S4s work the same on everything I use (iPod, iPhone, iPad, and my PC). There's almost no difference. I also used it on a Galaxy S2 (phone), it sounded the same as long as the EQ in all the devices are...

Your set has to be counterfeit. After about 48 hours of burn-in, I heard a bigger and more solid bass than when I first got them.  To check if their faulty, I guess you should try to smudge off the Klipsch logo. I had mine for a year and a half, the logo has never disappeared. People...

I need headphones that make voices (in the songs) clear and are very well all around.   Some examples of artists I listen to: Maroon 5, Adele, Christina Perri, Bruno Mars, and Orchestral music (Basically violin/cello with a piano).   The orchestral music is my favorite, like I want to...

Okay, So its been around 40 hours of pink noise. I haven't really checked the bass and stuff, but I realized if I turn pause the music and toggle with the volume, it creates some popping when I increase or decrease while the music is paused, it only happens on the higher half of the volume...

I don'd know about the converterter part, but the tips are fine. It wasnt the same exact copy, I'll test that out. And my EQ is off.

Okay, I bought mine yesterday, it was as good as my beat tours, but a lot more clear. But it doesn't sound as exciting. The beat tours were used by my cousin for a year, and he uses them for around 10 hours a day. Do they sound better because the beats were used more? So if I burn my S4's in for...

Also, I tried my beat tours on my iPod, and they worked fine. The S4's have the noise only on the iPod. Advice?

Okay, So today, I just started burning in for an hour of just my music, until I saw people recommending pink noise. Around 30 minutes ago, I started playing pink noise on them. On another thread, people recommend you have a 2 minute rest period (digital silence) so the drivers don't produce...

Okay, I'm not an audiophile, but when I listen to the S4's from my iPod Touch, the songs have a static noise. I don't know if its static or not, since I never experienced it. I will describe it. It sounds like scratches, like you scratched something lightly, and it happens randomly at certain...
