Hi guys,   I just picked up a Beyerdynamic DT100 400ohm and was wondering if anyone else has had experience with it. If you have, what is your opinion? I'm having a hard time trying to come up with a description for their sound; the best I can think of is that it's veiled (especially some...

Hey guys,   This might be a strange request, but here goes. I have the opportunity to get the Koss Tony Bennett Signature Edition for $80. I am ALL for trying before I buy, but I can't find a local store that I can demo them at. While I know that it really isn't fair to compare these to...

Hey everyone,   I have a question about an E9/E17 setup. I know that the E17 can be docked in the E9, but I wanted to use the E9 as a preamp for my CD player. So, this is what I tried: Sony CD Player --> E9 input --> E9 line-out --> E17 aux in --> headphones.   I have both Fiio's set...

I just purchased an Adidas version of the Sennheiser HD25. I've listened to them for a few hours now and find the bass to be overpowering; not really hearing what others are talking about in terms of upfront treble. My question is, does the treble on the HD25 open up more after a certain amount...

Hello,   I am looking for a sub-$100 IEM for using on my bus ride to school. I am currently looking at the UE 500, Sennheiser CX680, and the Shure 215. I listen mainly to classic rock, pop/rock, pop, and metal. Can anyone tell me how these three (or even two of the three) compare? And if you...

Sorry if this is in the wrong section...   I am currently contemplating between the E10 and the E17 for use with my desktop as a USB DAC/amp. Is there a justifiable sound quality difference relative to the prices, or is it more of because the E17 can do more? Also, I will be running a Grado...

Hey Head-Fi,   I'm looking for a headphone that will do 80's hair metal and classic rock well. I know nothing really sounds like a Grado when it comes to rock music, but I'm hoping to find a similar sound that brings out guitars to the front of the mix.   Some criteria: -I'm looking...

Hello,   I have long been plagued with the iTunes Store audio quality. Normally I wouldn't bother with downloading lossless files, but I have acquired a large amount of money towards iTunes and figure that I might as well use it. However, there is something about the audio quality of some of...

Hi everyone,   I have a pair of HD418s that I am contemplating to mod. My first question is, is there a way to remove the back of the cups (the part with the flames) to make it an "open" headphone? I partly want to do this for cosmetic reasons, but I have no experience with modding...
