Hey all,   I'm looking for a powered subwoofer to pair with my Adam A7x powered monitors. I no longer actually use them to monitor or do critical listening for mixing and such (have invested in a totally separate setup in another studio) so they will sit in my living room desktop rig. I'm...

So I just got a pair of T5Ps and I'm looking for a decent Amp/DAC unit to drive them. The Amp/DAC must also have RCA out so I can connect them to my monitors. Since the T5Ps are low-impedance and very efficient, I would like a low impedance headphone output without too much power. The sound...

They are both around the same price, fostex being a bit more expensive. I'm looking for a high end closed back driven without a dedicated amp. I have narrowed it down to these two. My focus is on comfort and sound quality. I want something on the neutral side but smooth/non fatiguing. Comfort...

A simple question that has me somewhat puzzled. I somewhat understand how soundstage works in headphones. Big factors include the angle and distance between the driver and the ear can make the headphone sound intimate (hd25) or immersive and deep (hd800). But when this distance/angle factor is...

I'm looking for a small-footprint "transportable" Amp/usb-DAC unit that will pair will with HD800s. Budget can extend, but I would love to keep it under the $1000 mark. Currently I am looking at: Woo WA7: Tube amp, very beautiful with a 32/192 - $900 (a little on the pricey side) ALO Pan Am...

My recent acquisition of custom-colored HD800 headphones from Colorware. And yes, they sound as good as they look.                                

iPod Classic 160gb (2nd rev) > iBasso D4 "Mamba" > VSonic GR07 I approve of the combo's synergy and performance. VSonic really needed a boost from the D4 Mamba (even if easy to drive). iPod headphone out jack is absolutely terrible - flattens soundstage, bass rolloff, slightly harsh highs with...

Oh god, what have I done I just placed an order on a pair of HD800s in blue and white from Colorware. I thought it was an amazing price since the painting is practically free. Recent HD800 price hikes (due to the release of th HD700s) have pushed up to $1500 and Colorware shipping cost me a...

Sorry if this doesn't belong in the right forum.    What would be a reasonable price to pay for a used but like-new condition Westone 4 IEMs? All accessories are included. I have the opportunity to snatch them up from a friend but I'm not sure how much I should offer.    Thanks in advance.

Did some Google searching as both my P5 cables have been worn up. I found what looks to be a decent cable. Looked up a forum or two and they mentioned a "Marantz PEC/P5 cable" which led me to this. Some more quick searching and I found the Japanese (It's Japan Amazon!) Amazon page for the PEC/P5...

So about 6 months ago, I sold all my stuff and downsized to just the HD600 and a Schiit Asgard (picked up in total ~$700 back from wasting so much money on headphones). I'm looking for an upgrade around $800 that will work with the Asgard somewhat well.   Or I could sell the Asgard and...

Gave away my LDMKIII and lent my HD650s to my friend to get him into headphones. Now I'm back to my HD600s, which are ampless (my iBasso D4 Mamba doesn't give nearly enough juice to put it at a decent sound quality).   So I have a couple choices and I need help deciding. This will be pretty...

Just got my gr-07s in the mail, plugged them into my ibasso D4. I did not notice that the software volume was at 100% and I left my amp at 100%. Played a song, whicih blasted my ears pretty badly. My ears are now okay after two days (temporary hearing loss) but I'm wondering if such high volumes...

Heard the IE8, wasn't wowed for what my friend paid.   The overall signature seems to be mid-bass centric lacking in treble extension (it's there, but no sparkle, not as clear as cheaper alternatives). Soundstage is excellent. Or maybe it was something to do with my fit. How does the IE8...

I'm spending preferably around $150 (200 TOPS) for a universal IEM that doesn't really have to be a true "monitor." I listen to a mix of old jazz and hip hop   I have lowered it down to these choices:   Vsonic GR07 Etymotic HF5 Fischer Audio DBA-02    Ideas?

I one day dropped my SR80s which have taken a beating over the years and now there is a "worse" sound in the right ear cup. It sometimes gives a faint rattle on low bass notes, and there is a loss of detail in the high end. It is also significantly quieter.    Is there any fix or do I have...

So I am getting tired my HD25-1 II Adidas for their clamp. I have been trying to find ways to improve comfort ever since I got them some months ago. I have had no luck and so I ask you guys  is there anything I can do to mod the pads or clamping force?    On an unrelated note,   I did...

Here is a short review of the Bose OE2 portable headphones. I pulled the trigger on these because I got a free $50 certificate from BestBuy and had to use it at the brick and mortar store.    First of all, let's take a look at what the Bose website says about their "OE2 audio headphones"...

I bought my ATH-AD700s awhile back (4months+) and have burned them in but I still don't like them.   They are extremely comfortable but they don't sound that good.   Super bright and lacking in bass. Midrange is slightly recessed. Soundstaging is superb but instrument separation is...

Now that I have spent over $900 on a couple decent full size cans that are mostly open back (thanks to you headfi guys), and around $400 on earbuds (buying headphones = drug usage), I'm lacking a portable can (not earbud) that will work when traveling, which is mostly work on an airplane and...
