Over the last year I've been purchasing, auditioning, and selling headphones to search for my favorite set up.  These are what I've had the chance to own so far:   Ultrasone Signature Pro Beyerdynamic Tesla T1 Synphones Magnum V4 in Mahogany cups (made by Benjamin 6264) MCA Fostex T50RP...

According to Senn website, the Apple store is the only exclusive dealer allowed to sell the Amperiors (http://www.sennheiserusa.com/headphones-for-dj-over-ear-amperior-_505573)...  for $350, which is $150 more than the retail price of HD25-1-ii, and $225 more than the refurbished price sold by...

So I have an iBasso D6 with hiflight's opamp and high output buffer installed.  With/Without gains, it can drive my HD650 to a level that is too loud for my ears at around 2/4 o' clock , which I think leaves a little power to spare. Also, hiflight has told me that D6 drives his DT880 Dragon...

So I just looked at the innerfidelity review of the Amperior, but based on what Ive seen from other impressions I don't find it convincing that they have made much of an upgrade besides the aluminum cup, the damping design, and the copper cable.     I can't say anything for certain since...

Hi, I had a Westone 4 for a while and I'm thinking of getting remolded.  Only tips I can use with this IEM is Shure Olive or Comply's, but neither provides enough isolation as the insertion depth is pretty shallow compared to UM3X.  Also the size of housing is a little too big, as my ears become...

So I've been checking out the sales/trade forum multiple times a day in order to find a good deal.  But it seems like the forum is getting filled with people who wants to sell the cans for how much they paid, not how much it is worth (for example, $360 for scratched up Pro 900, $180 for TripleFi...

I have the D6 and just ordered the topkit from HiFlight.  But the trade offer with a NuForce HDP (for D6 plus $110) came up and have trouble deciding between the two.     Currently I have a pair of Westone 4, but I plan on purchasing a full-sized can, probably something like the LCD-2, T1...

So it's been a while since I had a headphone (Pro 900) and since i have enough money saved up I want to get a system for in-home listening to use with my iBasso D6.   I want to get headphones in the price range of about $200-300 (HD650, K702, DT880).  Would JDSlabs o2 or Asgard be ideal to...

I have the D6 and wondering how it stacks up against standalone DAC's in the same price range.  I want to get either the HD650 or K702 along with a good tube amp and want to use the D6 as a standalone DAC, between my laptop and the tube amp.  But will it get the job done adequately?    

Hi, I've recently purchased the Westone UM3X and I love it, though this is the first high-quality IEM that I have ever bought (to me, a huge step up from Ultrasone Pro 900).  Anyways, I've noticed that the classical, especially Baroque music (mainly Vivaldi, but others too) wasn't as fun to...

So unfortunately I am still a beginner in this field.  I have a system that I am pretty happy with, but not satisfied (you can see it in my signature).  What should I buy/do to further enhance the sound?  I need to get around to installing J$ on my Pro 900's but if there is things like equalizer...

So I've played a violin acoustically for about 8 years or so and now I'm thinking about saving some money to buy a silent electric violin.  I currently own the Ultrasone pro 900 (I use it outside mainly) but I was also contemplating getting an open back headphone for home listening (because...

So I have recently purchased a pair of Ultrasone Pro 900, and I've noticed that a lot of people have modified the stock pads.  Since Ultrasone doesn't offer any good replacement pads (I don't wanna spend $30 + shipping on pleather pads), I need to strip off the spare pads and make my own.  ...

I just got the iBasso D6, and since I am receiving my first high-quality headphones (Ultrasone Pro 900) on Wednesday, I made this thread to research about customizing my D6 (plus I looked for hours and found nothing useful about opamps).     I'm kinda hoping hiflight will enlighten us about...

Complete beginner here in terms of headphone and amps.  I just purchased an iBasso D6 amp (have not purchased a headphone yet), and I've been constantly hearing this thing called "operational amp" or "topkit".  I honestly have no clue what it does, I was guessing maybe it adjusts the power...

Hi, I was thinking about getting a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 or DT990 in 600 ohm.  One very important question I have is that whether iBasso D6 will be able to fully drive these headphones.    If I was to use iBasso D6 which headphones would you recommend?  also I haven't bought the amp yet...

I have recently received a $250 gift card to bhphotovideo.com, and since I'm a huge music lover without a decent pair of headphone I chose to invest my money on a quality pair of headphones.  I don't have too much money as I am currently a college student, so the most I can spend on the...

Hi, I am looking to invest in a quality headphone and I am torn between the two.     I'm planning to use the headphone mainly with my iPhone (using a 30-pin line out) and laptop to play FLAC files (I listen mainly to hip hop, dubstep, hard rock, classical rock, and classical music), paired...

Hi, this is my first post and I am completely new to the world of audiophiles so please take it easy if I seem a little ignorant.  Anyways recently I was given a gift card to bhphotovideo.com and since I was looking to buy a headphone I was looking for a little advice.     I decided to save...
