My wife gets migraines every day.  She's pretty sensitive to headphones, and needs a really light pair that has weak clamping force, but is still comfortable and still sounds awesome.   While I personally prefer open headphones for the soundstage and airy sound, she prefers the bass of a...

Just got the game of thrones soundtrack(s).    Wow.   If you want something new to make you feel you got your money's worth on your expensive headphone setup, these are some great tracks.   I love the show.  That probably helps.  But the big score orchestral hits on these collections have...

I have a pair and they're great.  Great all around reference cans for the price.  Decent bass too.  I have no complaints.   My brother's birthday is coming up and he mainly listens to Dubstep/Electronica/Ska/Punk.  I'm wanting to get him some good closed ear haedphones.  I immediately...

I need a good quality cable to go between my computer and my schiit Bifrost DAC. I did a search and kept finding people recommending belden cable but it appears to be raw cable that needs to be terminated. Are there any comparable pre-made digital coax cable out there? Thanks!

I just ordered a bifrost and was told that coax > optical > usb.  I would like the best possible quality, so I wish to go with coax.   My motherboard unfortunately only has optical spdif out.   So, i'm guessing I'll have to get a pci-e soundcard that has coax spdif output.   Since...

I'm considering buying the Schiit Bifrost.  The USB addon is $100 extra.   So... the point of using an external DAC is to get it outside of the noisy pc case, right?  So through the usb, you get un-touched un-altered pure sound.  Right?   so, if you use spdif, that comes from either the...

My HD595's broke.  They lasted me many years, so I got my money out of them.   What I loved about them:   Comfortable Extremely bright mids/highs (to my ears) Open and crisp sound. (hope this makes sense?)   What I didn't like:   Lack of bass.  I don't like a ton of bass. ...

I just built a new IvyBridge system and the motherboard I got doesn't have PCI, and since my soundcard is PCI so I can't put it in this PC.   So... for powering something like a senny hd650, would it be better to get a PCI-E soundcard, or a usb soundcard, or a desktop amp that connects via...

I've had my senny hd595's for a long time and they've been great headphones. (super comfortable too)   I tripped on the super long cord and they slammed into the ground and the plastic that attaches one of the cans broke.  The driver itself it untouched.  (as far as I can see, as the driver...

Sup head-fi'ers!   I've decided on the ATH-M50's for use on the plane for my business trips due to their good bang for the buck and portability (folds down and comes with a case).   I now need to pick out a portable amp.  I've looked around a little and am considering the fiio e11.  ...
