I've been leaning toward the 225i. But I listen to a bunch of other stuff like post rock, ambient, and acoustic that I think the k/q701/702 would handle well. Plus they're so damn gorgeous. :) thanks! I was actually looking at those tonight. Thanks! It's a shame the hd25 feel so...

Bump. Anyone? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Need a recommendation for a new set of cans. I listen to mostly metal/post-hardcore/rock/acoustic. Will be listening at home with a fiio e07k. I have a DT880 premium 250ohm that I really love, a DT990 pro 250ohm which I like, an HD25-1ii that I really love, and a Custom One Pro which I tolerate...

GR07 MKii get my vote. Can't see the poll on tapatalk, but that would be my choice. I listen to similar music and the GR07 MKii are pretty much exactly what you're after. The bass is deep and fast and makes drums sound amazing for that type of music. Plus the soundstage is nice for an IEM and...

+1 for the GR07. I've never heard the LCD2 but I love my GR07 as much as my DT990 Pro. Sent from my Galaxy SIII

Yes. The GR07 are really great iems and are really good for those genres. I listen to mostly metal and rock and love how these sound with that type of music. The bass is strong and fast enough to keep up with rock and guitars sound amazing on them. The bass won't satisfy a basshead but it does...

Vsonic GR07 mkii Sent from my Galaxy SIII

I'm coming from iems like the Brainwavz M3, Beats iems, and various skullcandy iems. Compared to those, these wowed me. While they're not quite as impressive as my 990s, they do a lot for such a tiny package. I'm sure there are plenty that are much much better, but for the price, I certainly...

I just joined the club as my MKII came in today. Wow. These things are freaking amazing. Straight out of the box they're almost competing with my DT990 in sound quality. I can't believe how crisp the sound is. And to think I was afraid of a lack of bass. The bass in these is beyond perfect...

Thanks for the suggestion. I am a Beyer fanboy, so those might work for me. I'm also considering the GR07, triplefi 10, and the Ath ckm 500. The ckm are last on my list right now since they're Japan imports unless they have the sound I'm looking for. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII

Bump. Still looking for some other opinions. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII

Not sure I really want to mod anything. Just hoping to find some that sound like what I need out of the box. Thinking about the triplefi 10 or the gr07 right now. If there are iems that would be better for my music and signature preference, I'm all ears :-) But I appreciate the suggestion, mate...

Bump for new options. The brainwavs that I bought have great clarity but lack the bass that I'm looking for. Any other opinions out there?? Sent from my GSIII

+1 for the Beyer DT990 Pro, preferably the 250 or 600 ohm paired with a nice hp amp. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2

Bought some Brainwavz M3 but would still like to get some other opinions. Those should be here tonight so I can try them out. So...bump for other ideas :) Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2

Just an evening bump for some other opinions :-) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2

I've looked at those and also the Brainwavs B2 as I think those might have more detail. I've also thought about the TF10 but have heard that they can be too clear and somewhat harsh on the highs. Thanks for the recommendation. Ill definitely keep that combo in mind. Any others? Sent from my...

I need a new pair of IEMs and can't figure out which would be the best. I've looked at the review thread with tons of IEMs but that's only made things more difficult. I'm looking to spend no more than 200$ on them. I listen to mostly rock/screamo/ambient/soft rock, so I need something with...

Everything I've ever thrown at my 990s sounds amazing except for maybe really really poor recordings. I've listened to everything from rap/pop to metal/rock to soft rock to jazz and orchestra. These things are killer headphones to me and have caused my 770s to be stuck in their box. I've never...

Being the owner of the 990 and 770 250 ohm, I do think both benefit from some burn in. The 990 especially do. But I also think using pink noise or anything is pretty much a waste. Just use them normally for a hundred hours or so and they'll keep getting better. I would recommend staying away...

I think, based on everything that I've read here and elsewhere, that it would be best to get a decent set of cans and a really good amp rather than just the high-dollar cans. I would suggest something like the Hifiman HE-500, Beyerdynamic T90, or the Senn HD650. I think any of those paired with...

+1 for the Beyer DT990 250ohm. That's my favorite can right now. The only time I noticed any type of annoying highs was when I first purchased the can. After burning them in, they sound amazing with pretty much anything I can throw at them.

Quote:   I'm using a Behringer HA400 with my e10. I really don't think it's necessary at all. The only reason I even hooked it up was to have 4 headphone ports available for my other cans. From what I've read, though, the e10 will be an improvement over the built-in amp you'll find in the...

Quote:   Thank you. Edited. Still stand by my statement, though, even if the Xonar is a rather large step up from on-board.

I'm using an e10 for my dt990s 250ohm and love it. I think it has enough power to push these things really well, thought I still use an extra cheap amp in my chain for a little more power. Not sure if it's placebo or what, but I do feel as though it makes the sound a little warmer and opens it...
