I have been into headphones since I joined Head-fi 10 years ago. I know nothing about iems. I have been having jaw problems and my over-ears are irritating my jaw so I thought I would get some iems. I listen primarily to EDM - Afrobeats, House, Electro, Trance. I love deep, rumbly subbass and...

Been a member here for quite awhile. I primarily listen to EDM - mostly House and Dance. I have owned many budget and mid-fi headphones over the years. For reference, the headphones that I really like for this genre are the Beyer DT1990 (balanced pads) through my Emotiva BasX A-100 (jumpered)...

I have only used headphones for years but have recently gotten interested in IEMs. I am somewhat of a basshead and listen primarily to EDM - house, trance, techno, etc. I have done a ton of research and have narrowed it down to the XB90EX or the CKS77X. My max budget is $100. Can anyone who has...

I have been loving the SQ of the Q40 for 6 months now but last night the left ear went crackly for awhile and then just died. I have a V-Moda replacement cable and tested it on other phones and it is fine. Anyway, I called M-Audio but since it was purchased on Amazon by an unauthorized reseller...

I have never heard any open back headphones and would like to try them. But after reading hundreds of posts on this forum I started wondering whether soundstage and airiness would be involved in the majority of music I listen to. I was trying to decide between open or closed (or both!). Is it...

Hey guys - I actually thought I was a basshead until I heard these inexpensive Superlux 668bs. I now realize how much more enjoyable it is to hear a more balanced sound signature. I also really enjoy the semi-open aspect which I've never heard before. The only problem is that they aren't very...

I do love deep sub-bass but also would like a decent amount of clarity as well. I like a darker, warmer, fun sounding headphone to listen to internet radio stations with. I do listen to my cd collection on occasion but not that much. I have had the XB500 for the last three years and have really...

I am looking to upgrade my current desktop setup. I have a 3 year old hp subwoofer/speaker system that was sounding great but has recently degraded significantly. Thanks to this forum I was able to select an excellent upgrade to my headphone setup (T50rp ZMFs with Magni/Modi stack) and thought I...

I originally posted this on the full size amp forum by mistake. My bad.   I have $400 to spend to improve on my current setup - DB500s + FiiO6. I have been considering the AT A900X paired with the Magni/Modi stack.  OR - would it be better to spend the extra $100 on better headphones and skip...

I have $400 to spend to improve on my current setup - DB500s + FiiO6. I have been considering the AT A900X paired with the Magni/Modi stack.  OR - would it be better to spend the extra $100 on better headphones and skip the DAC. I will be playing these from my Acer laptop and listening primarily...

Hi all - This is my first post even though I have been lurking for several years. My old setup is getting, well, old. I had DB500s with a fiio6 amp which was my first foray into decent sound. I know it is very junior birdman which is why I am ready to move up. I have a budget of ~$400 to work...
