Hey everyone,   I'm having trouble finding a good thread on here about the AKG K812 headphones, which are currently back on Massdrop once again.   A lot of the threads on here are people going back and forth about nonesense, and with no real discussion about the actual headphones and their...

Hello,   As the title states, I'm looking for the best closed over-ear headphones on the market today, that can be driven by a portable hi-res DAP?   Please give suggestions.

Other than looks, whats the difference between ATH-MSR7 and ATH-M70x? Do they sound different? Is one easier to drive than the other? I'm at a loss with the differences here.

Hello,   I was hoping someone could help me out with the sound quality difference between the Pioneer XDP-100R versus modern cell phones like the LG V10, etc. I understand the ability to play higher quality audio files with a HDAP, but does everything being bundled in such a small form factor...

NewEgg Flash has a great deal on the Pioneer XDP-100R for only $299.  ...

Hello everyone,   Trying to get everyone's feeling for best current cell phone for music audio quality?   Thanks,

Hello,   So I have seen many major commercial reviewers giving ATH-MSR7 very high marks for a $200 headphone. I'm one of those people who thinks the ATH-M50 is actually a pretty good headphone given it's price point of $100-150. I'm thinking of taking a look at these, and wanted to see if any...

Hey everyone,   Just wanted to report that Massdrop is selling the AKG K812 headphones for $999 right now.       it's not a fantastic deal, but is $100 cheaper than Amazon's price on the K812PRO right now.

Hello,   I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this? I'm thinking of buying for business travel.   Are there better options?   LDAC seems to be a SONY only technology for higher quality wireless sound. Are there other options I dont know about?

Massdrop Fostex TH-x00 Mahogany I will start this review by stating I have always been on the search for a sub-$1000 pair of headphones (used or new) that have all of the things  I believe the holy grail of headphones should have: crisp detailed highs, well defined and accurate mids, and...

Hello,   So I have been thinking about upgrading my computer speaker setup for a while now.    Right now I have Dayton Audio B652 speakers with a small speaker amp in between my computer and speakers as these only accept speaker wire inputs.   I would like to get something that can either...

Hello,   Contemplating picking up some new closed back headphones for my desktop rig. Looking for thoughts between Massdrop Fostex TH-X00 and Mr. Speakers Alpha Dogs.   Mainly listen to rock, alternative, some classical.   Thanks,

Hello everyone,   I'm thinking of buying an all-in-one Amp/DAC and am looking to stay below $500 for my desktop setup.   Contemplating the Grace Design m9xx on massdrop, or the Jotunheim, but have heard neither.   Can anyone give recommendations between these two?   Thanks,

Hello,   So google is failing me once again. When I search for best computer audio speakers, I'm greeted by a ton of lackluster options. The most consistent trend I have found is that the audioengine A5+ are highly recommended in a lot of cases.   I can't believe that a company who doesn't...

Hello,   It's been a while.   So recently I have had my Triple-Fi 10's stolen at work. I'm looking to purchase a new pair of IEM's for music. I see alot of commercial polls listing Bowers and Wilkins C5 S2 pretty high, but from when I did my research a couple years back had never heard of...

Hello,   I am looking to find what would be a "current" (as in currently available in todays market) Desktop Amp and DAC that would pair well with the ATH-AD2000.   I now there are other threads about this topic, but I have found that they are all EXTREMELY outdated.   Any...

Hello,   I am trying to figure out a way to tame the harshness of the Beyerdynamic T1.   Currently my setup includes Schiit Lyr/Bifrost. I find the Beyerdynamic T1 to be much more detailed when compared to the LCD-2 Rev. 2 in A-B Testing on the same files using the same sources.   I...

Ok.   So I am thinking about purchasingn a Decware CSP2+, but I have questions.   I am an engineer, but not of the electrical sort and am very confused.   Decware lists the CSP2+ on their website as being a Triode Headphone OTL (Output Transformerless) Amplifier.   My question is...

Hello,   I currently have a pair of Audez'e LCD-2 Rev.2 with a Schiit Lyr/Bifrost set-up.   I just recently purchased a set of Beyerdynamic T1's, as I thought the Audez'e are too closed for my tastes.   I searched the forums and did not find much of an answer in regards to the T1's...

Anyone have the pleasure of trying the new Fostex TH900 yet?   What audiocubes.com is calling the new "King of Headphones", with a $2300 USD price tag to match?     Fostex makes the Denon AH-DXXXX Series headphones, and if you look closely at the headband, you will notice that is in...

  I have the LCD-2 Rev. 2 paired with a Schiit Lyr Amp, and a Asynch USB DAC feeding that at 24/192 through use of Moon-Audio BL-1 Silver Sonic RCAs. LCD-2 Rev. 2 is connected to Lyr through the new FLAT stock Audez'e Cable.   I had recently returned a pair of HE-500 due to a design flaw...

  BE WARNED.   I actually am a big fan of HiFiMan products and the sound quality, however I am not impressed with the current build:   I have come across a serious problem with the HE-500's, in that the gimbal screws are placed into the metal housings of the earpieces with small...

Hey,   I have been noticing on alot of tracks that there is alot of underlying white noise playing songs through my Schiit Lyr to my HE-500s.   Does anyone know if this is a common problem with the Lyr? It seems to be more pronounced on acoustic and music that has moments of silence or...

Hey guys,   So I just got in my Sieveking Omega headphone stand in Makassar wood from elusive disc. And I must tell you this thing is BEAUTIFUL.  Anyone looking for an interesting wood headphone stand that allows for equal pressure on the pads, this is it. It fits my large HiFiMan HE-500...

Hey,   I am listening to some music Johnny Cash - Hurt on my HiFiMan HE-500 headphones running through a DAC and then through my Schiit Lyr Amp.   I am noticing some very annoying scratchiness/distortion which, to my ears, appears to be coming from the bottom of the left phone around...
