I went out on a limb and purchased the MEElectronics A151-bk. I got them for $20 shipped so I figured it was a pretty good deal.

I don't believe I have. I'll look now. Those seemed okay but I'm not sure they are what I'd like.   Honestly I know I said I'd spend $60, but if the RE-400's are worth the price at $99.99 I would be tempted to get those since I use HE-400's at home. I'll look more into the brands/items you...

Quote: Those look like a pretty good deal for the price. I think I'll wait for more opinions before I leap onto anything.

I need new IEMs and I'm looking to spend under $60. I mostly listen to bands like Nightwish/Sonata Arctica so the mids and highs are the most important aspect for me.     Any suggestions?     If it helps any, I have the HE-400's for at-home use. So a similar sound would be...

Edit: Nevermind. I'll just get a regular pair and tell my supervisor to deal with it if he sees me muck with my phone, lol.

I guess I was just unlucky...Kind of sucks that both of the cables came the way they did though...I'm glad to hear that others have had better experiences with the cables   I wouldn't trade the headphones for the world...They are ridiculously comfortable...they felt a little heavy at...

Some of you may or may not remember me...well...It's been about 8 or so months since I got the Hifiman HE-400s...and...while I love the headphones themselves...I absolutely hate the cables that Hifiman makes. Both the cable it came with and my replacement cable arrived, basically, well, falling...

Quote: After using them a bit more and growing accustomed to the open sound the volume definitely seems loud.   Am I the only one that experienced that? It's really my first new major upgrade so I'm not sure if it was just typical adjustment. (I've never had a sound card or open...

Quote: Makes sense. I've further reduced them a fair bit...but I think it's just because I like having my games up a little louder than my music...it's also my first few days actually USING the sound card...so i'm still familiarizing myself with it..:3

Quote: Hm...okay. Like I said before, my belief is because it's my first pair of open phones...and..     I can hear both music and people talking clearly while the phones are on the table...but...that's in a 100% silent environment....they're about 50 dbs while on the table..  ...

It's definitely not too loud...and I know it's not my hearing...     I guess I am used to listening to my stuff rather high...maybe it's just that it's my first pair of open cans ^^

Quote: I've had it for several weeks.

Quote: You gotta remember I'm using a Titanium HD. At least the dac part is there. I just need to get an amp..I REALLY need some gain...       They sound good for some things - but from what I can tell, most of my .flacs have -9-10 db track gains..they're very quiet. I think an amp...

So I got the headphones today...and...I don't have my amp yet...and I gotta say...     Not quite what I expected. Hopefully they sound better the more I listen..     Well...that and when I get the amp..     I'm listening to .flacs if that helps at all.   Hell I'd even go as...

Quote: Indeed. The Banshee feels pretty heavy so I don't think it'll be too hard to adjust. The leaking may be a concern...not sure yet. (at least for work)   I should have done overnight instead of standard :(...i don't think I'll even get a tracking number...le sigh...

Quote:   I can see what you mean by the computer thing. I'm getting to the point in life where I don't know if I will have the capability to sit at a computer for 10 hours due to responsibilities anyways :p.

Quote: Dear Davidsh,     I'm only on my pc about 4 hours a day. I work 10 hour shifts. I'm just looking for something good enough to let me play around with the headset as well as be used as a mobile solution.     Do you know how long the E11 charge lasts on average?   Last...

Quote: Thank you! I imagine it would be. The He-400 doesn't seem HARD to drive necessarily...just that it would scale better with better amps..   I was tempted to overnight but decided the $33 would be better used for an amp.

I just placed my order for the He-400 ^^.     And to Davidsh...if that's the case, should I just buy an E11 and then get an asgard later?   (Would save me about $240 upfront cost right now - just in case i don't like the HE-400 and want something else)

Hm...The E11 doesn't seem to be compatible with the S3 (based on what I've read).     However....the Odac+O2 combo IS compatible.     Should I just get that instead of the asgard? (Would eventually get an asgard anyways..)

So I tried asking in that review thread about what to pick from the list of compatible devices with the S3 for the HE-400...but I didn't get any bites. Does anybody else have a clue? =/

Anybody near galion?

Quote: Anybody know?

Hey fellas. Out of this list here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/android-phones-and-usb-dacs/270#post_8660606     What is the best of those for the HE-400? I need a portable dac/amp for use with my Samsung S3. Thanks.

Quote: I will. Hopefully I can find a good thread about the S3...seems it isn't compatible with very many DACs/amps..
