Also looking at FLC8S too

Hey everyone! I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts about where the IE80 sits on the rating table these days. They go for somewhat of a steal on amazon and for someone being out of the game for so long, I don't know if they're still worthwhile in comparison to the new IEMs. Flipping through...

.... I couldn't help myself. It should arrive at the hotel tomorrow..... :D

I was going to miss my flight.... and they had such a great deal too. It was $350 ish new for the non detachable cables ones. Man I didnt know inmotion had great iems. I didnt expect it and spent a lot of time testing them out. westone 4r, westone 3, shure 535s then I realized my flight was on...

Hi all, I just tried the westone 4 at the airport while travelling and simply put, Mind Blown! I need one right now and since I'm travelling, i cant order it at the moment. Does anyone know where i can buy them at a store somewhere in new hampshire? I'm not good with patience.

Updated a couple of stuff. Got a DT990 and fiio D3. Btw Dubstep Girl, I'm still waiting on your LCD2 impressions/review!

Well I was thinking, a $30 DAC wouldnt do the lcd 2 justice. I like how the K701 sounds but i cant help but feel that i want more! I just want better sound. Would the bifrost improve the sq to a noticable degree? Or should i just leave the D3 and get the lcd 2

Hi everyone, I would like your opinion on upgrading my setup. I currently have a Fiio D3, a Schiit Lyr and an AKG K701. I plan to get the Schiit Bifrost as a DAC and LCD-2 cans. Due to financial issues, I can only buy one of these at a time. Should I get the DAC first because that is most likely...

Did you try using FLAC files? I had the same problem with my K701 and the problem was that i was using 128kbps mp3 files. I only heard a disappointing barely noticable improvement over my logitech G35. But when I used flac, its a whole nother beast! Good luck

That is great information Questhate. I would most likely go for the LCD 2 then the HD 800 eventually. Can a Schiit Bifrost/Lyr combo run the HD800s well or will it be sub par? I am graduating in 6 months and I have a job lined up. I can already see where my food money is going to go...

Damn new year holiday is slowing down my d3's arrival. Hope that store that sells the LCD 2 is open Dubstep Girl

Hey there, quick question. Which do you prefer, your headphones or your speakers? in terms of sound quality, which is better?

While I agree that it is indeed the same music, the quality of sound can affect your enjoyment of the music itself. For example, comparing a concert hall and a radio. While headphones would probably not have that drastic difference, personally the difference between headphones is appreciable...

Ooh I'm looking forward to your impressions Dubstep Girl! So far your recommendations have been pretty spot on for me. Only reason why I'm not getting the 650s is because I don't have the money for it right now and that at this point I'm lusting for the LCD 2/HD800/T1 to worry about the 650s...

A noob’s journey   Hello everyone, I’d like to post my own “guide” written for people starting out in the world of head-fi. A little background about myself; I am still a complete noob and I’ve only been on head-fi for several weeks. My first experience with audiophile equipment was when I...

Hi everyone, Had a question about a cheap DAC. I have a HK AVR 146 receiver which I use as a DAC which feeds to my Schiit Lyr and then K701. My question is, would buying on of those cheap DACs (sub $100) benefit my sound quality? I was thinking of getting the Fiio D3 to replace my receiver is if...

Hey everyone, sorry for the noob question but I have a very nice component (red blue and green) cable and a standard cheap RCA (red white and yellow) cable. Which one is better for me to connect from a DAC to an amp? Can a component cable be used? will there be any negative results in terms of...

The HD 800 were really wonderful but I can't help but feel the LCD 2 may be even better. With everyone and their moms recommending them on head-fi. Any of you have liked the 701 and tested both the HD800 and LCD2? Which do you prefer? Now I'm curious about the other top tiers, T1, HE-6 and how...

Hello everyone! I'm in Chicago and I visited audio consultants in Chicago and Evanston. It was really cool and I got to try  some sr 325, Rs1, Ps 1000, HD 600 & 650, and the pièce de résistance, the HD 800. The grado headphones were great, definitely easier to drive from my iPod and have lots of...

Quote: No, I don't think I experienced anything other than AKG right now.     Thank you for your suggestion buson160man, those stores sound great! do they let you try the headphones with some amps?  

Desperation bump

I think i'm going to get the HD650s guys thanks for all your help.... now sell me yours...  Seriously if anyone wants to sell their HD650s ill take em.

Ok so the HD 650 is a really interesting choice. I will look into it. Navii and Dubstep Girl, it seems that both of you have both the 701s and the 650s, do you think there is a big enough difference to keep both of them? At this stage of my hobby, I imagine that it may be good to keep flipping...

Lafayette Indiana, but I'm at a point where I will drive up to illinois and anywhere in indiana or the surrounding states

Hello Head-Fi! So I figured, to find the best cans for myself, I need to audition some cans at an audio store or something. Can any of you recommend any store in the Indiana area or even Illinois that has cans like AKG, Grado, Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic and even Audeze that I can try? If any of...
