Hi all, I am on the verge of making the biggest splash by far since the search for my ultimate set of closed cans began over 10 years ago, and hoping to settle on cans to end my search indefinitely. I had the opportunity to listen to about 15 closed cans I had shortlisted on the weekend...

Hi all, I am hoping for some advice. I am very keen on both the ZMF Bokeh and Audeze LCD-XC, and still reading up on the sound signature of these to determine which one I would lean towards. One major concern I have though is portability, and I am trying to decide which of the 2 would be...

Hi all, I was hoping to get some advice on an upgrade I want to pull the trigger on: updating from my iBasso DX50/ Fiio X3ii. I am 100% open to suggestions other than what I have shortlisted so far, I am hoping to stay at around the $800 AUD mark without going too much over. My aim is to find...

Hi guys, I hope everyone is swell. In short, I am wondering if my Fiio X3 second gen could damage my Beyer T5p 2nd gens? Reason I'm now curious about this is because the other day when I was switching between headphones on the X3 and left the volume at 105 / 120 at high gain (+ 9.2dB) when i...

Hi guys, hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. Years ago I owned Denon AHD2000's which were love at first sound, my favourites of all time. Sadly they are no longer with us... I recently pulled the trigger on the Fostex 610 hoping these would wow me as the Denons did after hearing...

Hi   I purchased an iBasso DX50 last year and I have been having several issues with it recently. Firstly about 2 weeks ago for several days the gain switch stopped working, then started working again by itself. Now, the player freezes during songs and has been doing so for about a week...

Hi guys   Planning to buy the Audeze LCD-2 this week along with the Fiio X3 Player.   What i want is an amp that will fit in my pocket and that will not be too much bigger than the X3 Player. Willing to spend up to around the $300 max if possible.   I don't need to have the best sound ever...

Hi guys   I've been looking for a new set of circumaural HP's since my Denon AHD2K's failed on me last week (the left cup stopped working, i replaced the headphone jack which has fixed the problem, but if the cord moves around a lot the music skips).   I keep coming across the Audeze LCD-2's...

Hi guys   I've recently purchased a pair of HD 25-1-ii's and they sound great, however I'm trying to determine if they are faulty...   I'm getting static/ crackling in quite a few tracks (especially in 'loud' or 'busy' songs).   I also get the static crackling in lower volumes, so...

Good day all Hope everyone is well! Does anyone know where I can get headphones recabled in Aus? I've heard of Double Helix and Lawton Audio, but they are based in the US. I'm looking to shorten the cords of a Denon AH-D2000, or have them recabled (if I did what would be some good options at a...

Hi guys This might sound stupid as, but I want to purchase a pair of Sennheiser HD650's and mod them to be closed. Reason being is I want them to be slightly more portable, and leak as little sound as possible. The reason I've chosen 650's is that I've heard the bass is nice and punchy and are...

Hi guys I've been stalking these forums for quite some time now looking for guidance in making (in my sad opinion anyway) a big decision of whether or not I should purchase the Denon AH-D2000's or not. I have done a ridiculous amount of research and reading on these to the point that my stomach...
