I own a pair of backbeat pro's and I really like the sound. I like the fun sound and they do not have too much bass for me.. They are probably my favorite headphones I've owned. Not bad for what they cost. Please recommend a pair of wired headphones that would be an nice upgrade to the BBP...

Well I finally returned my backbeat pro's and picked up some backbeat Go 2 iem's. I wasn't expecting much from relatively cheap Bluetooth earphones. I'd say the sound quality is a little better than the typical headset you get with a smartphone. Bass is a little weak but can be remedied with a...

I did not get the bose. I've been going back and forth regarding whether or not to keep the bbp. Guaranteed not to hurt my ears or the top of my head. The headband on the bbp was giving me a headache. Imo, it's worse than the notorious Q701's. I've decided to get Bluetooth iem's as a stopgap...

Target has the Bose soundlink wireless II for $250 right now. I'm considering buying them tonight. Looks like the ear cups are nice and big. Has anyone tried them out? How do they sound?

I just received the plantronics backbeat pro headphones. Initial impressions are as follows. Cons -I don't like the headband. It pushes on the top of my head. -The method of changing tracks is sort of wonky. A button would be much easier. -Bass is boosted. I'm comparing them to powered studio...

Has anyone found a quality Bluetooth class 1 dongle that supports aptx? 4.0 would be a bonus.

  I'll probably get the bbp.  If I bought the Sony's, I'd probably put off the mods and never get around to it.  

I've been reading this thread for some time now.  I stopped using my headphones as much after getting some powered studio monitors and a usb audio interface for my pc.  However, I recently bought some Logitech G930's (I had gift cards to Best Buy) for cheap and I decided I really liked wireless...

I recently bought some Logitech G930s for my daughter to use with my computer.  I didn't realize how much I'd like walking around the house with the headphones on. So now I'd like to get something better.  I'm looking at the Sennheiser RS160 & RS170.   I'm also looking at the BOHM bluetooth and...

Thanks for your input. The problem with my setup is that it's cumbersome. If the note 4 has a good dac and a headphone amp, I'll get it. I can't use a quality portable media player because I use spotify. Yes, the bitrate is 320k but that's good enough for me. I sold my AKG q701's because I...

I'm currently using a Fiio E07k connected to a Sony Xperia ultra smartphone. I'd like to replace this setup with smartphone that includes a dac and a small headphone amp. Would the note 4 be comparable? I'd be content if the smartphone sounded as good as my macbook does.

I'm currently using a Fiio E07k connected to a Sony Xperia ultra smartphone. I'd like to replace this setup with smartphone that includes a dac and a small headphone amp. Which large smartphones should I be looking at? I'd be content if the smartphone sounded as good as my macbook does.

I'm about to purchase a windows 8.1 tablet... Which of these would work? I have akg q701,senn hd 518, and about to purchase Shure srh840. I realize the e12 doesn't have a dac.

Memory foam pads.

Exactly what the title says. Currently own sennheiser hd 518 and akg q701. Budget is $100 - $200. Used to own hd280. Aka vice grip.

I'm about to purchase one of the new windows 8.1 dell venue 8 pro tablets. It has a micro USB port which you can use to connect flash drives, mouses, etc. My question is, has anyone tried connecting a USB dac / headphone amp to it? I'm ready to sell my ipad mini if this new tablet works out...

I just received my fiio e17 last night.  Compared to the fiio e10 the soundstage seems smaller.  Or is it just me?   Regardless, it's really nice for what it costs.  

Well after a little bit of drama, I have a good pair of Q701's.  I bought a set off ebay a month ago for about $185 shipped.  They turned out to be bad - one side would go in and out.  I even bought a new cable and it had the same issue.     I ordered a another one on ebay that was from a...

I just smelled my q701's and it smells a little like leather.  

Quote: Well I believe you now.  I spent some time listening to my new Fiio E10 and I'm underwhelmed (comparing it to my receiver).  I'm beginning to thing that when reviews boast of huge improvements in soundstage between amps there's a little exaggeration going on.  Either that or I...

Quote: which best buy? in denton?

Thanks to whoever suggested Zombie_X for making a custom cable.  As cheap as $20 depending on what  length / parts you choose.      

I just recently purchased the Q701 and missed a few good deals on ebay for dac/amps.  I'm tired of waiting.  I ordered a Fiio E10 off amazon.  I have "backup" headphones-  I figure it doesn't hurt to have a backup amp.  Now I can take my time and look for a few months if necessary.  And I have a...

Quote:     Can you suggest a dac to go with the O2 for the Q701?
