I have a pair of Sony WH-1000X M3s. These are for travel and for use when I'm trying to watch content in a shared living space. My problem is the bluetooth connectivity seems to be a bit wonky. I have the headphones paired to my iPhone Xs and my iPad pro. Whenever I turn the headphones on...

I'm looking for a desktop stye (meaning not portable) headphone amp with bluetooth. Nothing terrible powerful or expensive is needed, I just want the ability to play some better cans at work and I think I'll just be streaming from my iPhone.

I'm running a Schiit Modi Multibit and Schitt Vali 2 powering a pair of Aeon closed headphones. With these headphones either gain setting really gives me a good range its just a matter of being around 12 o'clock give or take on low gain and more like 9 o'clock on high gain. I have a thought...

I need to downsize my desk rig and am looking at going basic with the Fulla 2. I like the knob design vs. other portable / tiny desktop DAC / amps. But I want to make sure it will power 300 Ohm headphones.

I own a pair of PX-200s with the iPhone controls and their good for their portability.  I'm wondering if the HD 219s would have more bass for a less portable solution, just sitting at my desk at work.

This might be a dumb question, especially since I've been to RMAF twice... but I never went to Can Jam.  I know some of the manufacturers in the individual rooms would sell gear (sometimes at a discount) to avoid schlepping it all back home.  With head-fi oriented gear obviously a lot of it is...

I love my Mad Dogs, for all the reasons people typically do.  But I'm looking for something to add (not replace) to my stable that's a little bassier.  I still want tight, clean bass, but a little more.  If possible, I'd like to try something open or semi-open but recognize that that might be...

Sorry, I did a search but didn't find a definitive answer.  Can I connect my iPhone directly to a Schiit Fulla?  If so can I use a standard sync cable or do I need the lightening to USB camera adapter?

I'm looking for a pair of IEMs mostly for travel.  I prefer on ear or over the ear for general listening but I got tired of lugging my too-big Bose QC-15s on flights so I e-Bay'd them.  Now I own nothing capable of blocking out plane noise so I'm looking for a pair of noise blocking IEMs.  I've...

I really feel like Apple kind of screwed up by making extracting digital output from the lightening connector so expensive to license.  I really don't understand what they gain because the money they get from licensees cannot possibly make up for the negative end-consumer experience.   That...

I currently run some Senn PX 200 IIi headphones directly off my iPhone for work.  I'm looking for something with a little better overall sound quality, especially deeper bass.  I will note however, that I want neutral bass, just more extension.  I don't have the luxury of an office so two...

AppleTV -> LiTe Audio DAC AH -> Schiit Valhalla -> Beyerdynamic DT990 600Ohm   This is the setup I'm looking at building out.  I already have the ATV and LiTe DAC.  I'm about to pull the trigger on the Schiit and Beyers.  I listen to mainly pop, pop/rock, folk rock (think Warren Zevon) and...

Here's what I want to do.  For some nights when my wife wants to watch whatever is HGTV or reality TV I don't care for, I want to be able to watch movies on my Apple TV in our bedroom with some nice headphones.  Don't care too much about fake surround or anything because its probably not good...

Hopefully the thread will help other newbies like me and serve as a guide for where I might move forward in the hobby.  I'm new to "head-fi" but not new to hi-fi.  I've been into home theater and 2-ch audio for about a decade.  I started out with Paradigm's entry level speakers and ended up with...

So after asking a few questions around here I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a pair of AKG K271 MKII.  They came today and I'm going to burn them in a bit but my immediate reaction is they just aren't efficient enough for my use.  My situation is I currently have no desktop or dedicated...

I'm looking for some more info on the FiiO E9i.  It seems like the E9 has nearly all 4 and 5 star reviews at Amazon but the E9i has several complaints.  However, the complaints are related to things like the headphone jacks or a scratchy potentiometer... things that could just as easily happen...

A rep from a large online headphone retailer told me I could run a pair of AKG Q701s directly from my iphone.  Saying it wouldn't reach the full potential of the headphones but would work just fine.  Yes, no, maybe?

Just curious how badly I'd be mocked if I wanted to put together a decent rig but my source is likely to be an iPhone and my music is pretty much all going to be 256k AAC?  I have "simplified" my life and sold off both my stereo and my home theater.  I recently got a pair of AKG Q460s and really...
