No love for FiiO products? I am new to the amp/dac world. Might be more amp/dac than headphones -.- D-zero MKII seem nice, just wanna make sure Im getting the most bang for buck. Thanks for continued help

If I take portability off my list, whats a good option out there?

Hello All!   I have a pair of Ety hf5, shure se215 and ath-m50 and I am looking for an amp/dac combo. Mainly for my mac, but being able to use it on my commute would be nice with my iphone. Not bragging about my stuff, but i want to make sure they work. I am mainly looking into the magni/modi...

Hello,   I am looking for an entry level pair of closed basshead cans, my budget is 150 us dollars. I listen to all genres of music, but these headphones would mainly be for EDM, boomy but not muddy if thats possible. I was looking into V-moda, dt770 and sony xb's. maybe the Pro 900's. any...

Which shure tips are the best with the HF5, there are a lot of types and I do not want to buy the wrong one by accident. So far loving the sound of these!

Quote: I dont necessarily agree, granted my HF5 are almost right out of the box (amazaing detail and accuracy) and I have little experience with the R50, the HF5/3/2 are definitely better suited for specific types of genres. Thats my opinion, feel free to disagree :D   EDIT: Since I...

First off, these are my first pair of IEMs. I got them in the mail a couple days ago and my music doesnt really sound the same. The amount of detail and accuracy is simply astounding, however there are two problems, one is MUCH bigger than the other. The first minor problem, the included tips...

can i get the triple tips (the ety ones) for the re-400? 

HF5 vs RE-400 in terms of isolation i know the HF5 are better, but i was wondering if it was possible to get the triple tips on the re-400.  i listen to majority classical music (70%-80%) and the other times i enjoy some EDM, more concerned with accurate bass rather than head thumping bass. ...

since im picking between hf5 and re-400 basically, which is a better all around headphone (i listen to 75% classical and EDM) i am leaning towards the HF5 because of what everyone says about its capabilities for classical music

Does the HF5 have bass?

deciding between the r-50 and hf5, seems to me the r-50 have more treble (from reading reviews) if i stray a little further away from only classical music, which of the two is better suited for a variety of music? i listen to 75% classical 20% EDM 5%Indie Rock, so its more important for the...

how are the following for classical music: R-50 RE-400  HF5     ER4 is too expensive   EDIT: clarity

Just read a review of the R-50, they sound pretty good for what i am looking for. ive had the klipsch s4, i am looking for something new not as bass heavy.   TwinQY, any thoughts on the R-50?      btw, thank you all for you continued help   my choices: HF5 R-50 Re-400

hmm thank you for all your help so far TwinQY, i just have a quick question, what do you mean when you say revealing? i am still new to this and i might be using the term incorrectly.  From the reviews the RE-400 seems like a very good option.   So my list now is: HF5 (depending on the...

i dont want them to be too revealing as to show all the flaws in a recording, sometimes i use them on sources that arent the greatest. looking for something not as bassy, decent mids and treble, not a fan of the V sound sig for classical. knowing that, HF2/3, HF5 or x10? 

how are the x10's for what i am looking for? 

I have scoured this forum for advice on a good classical music IEM, however the only general consensus is Ety ER4, is the best. But I dont have that much money to swing on a pair of headphones. I have included a list of other headphones people have talking about in the other forums.   I am a...

Quote: Thank you very much.   How do the Krk KNS8400 compare to the shure? they both offer a detachable cable, but my concern is now the isloation that they both have, the shure are still about 40 dollars more expensive

I almost decided on buying the shure headphones but then i saw there was a deal on the audio technica m50s. i read some reviews and some people said the m50s were a little heavier in bass and lighter in the mids   the shure headphones are ~$150 the m50 are only 100.   tl;dr- are the...

The 840's are a little bit over my price range, would a 440 and an e6 amp be a good alternative? im not sure if the 440's are as good as the 840 for classical/instrumental and jazz. if not is there an alternative? if the 840's are worth the money i dont mind buying them since they are very well...

Hi Head-Fi Community,   Ive used in-ear buds my entire life and last year i bought a pair of klipsh s4i and now i am looking to buy a pair of full sized headphones.   1. I'm a college student who spends the majority of the week in my room studying, I need a set of headphones that do a...

Quote: What makes the audio technica such good headphones? its like number three despite the 1000 dollar headphones   Edit: can i micmod the shure? i might end up wanting to use mic. if i have an extra headphone cable with a mic is it possible to plug it into the shure and use the mic?
