Thank you for the advice. I've actually already read some reviews for the ES100 and Fiio BTR3, but I had my reservations due to all the bad rap that bluetooth has these days. I will have to make a decision next month probably: Type-C port vs much better app. I completely migrated to type-C in my...

Well guys, I'm back and I've solved both my broken IEMs and my upgrade itch. Firstly, I decided to buy the HEM8 after having another listening session with the Fiio FA7. I did not think I would enjoy the FA7, with their elevated mid-bass and non-reference tuning. They look and feel amazing...

They're 70-100 euro LESS than the FA7/HEM8, 240 euros to be precise. If they were 100 euros, I would have already ordered them :).

I intend to go on saturday and listen again to the FA7, FH5 and other stuff that the store has on display (IE80s and CKR10). They also have the Sony XBA-N3AP in stock, but not on display unfortunately, so I can not test them. Do you have any opinions on them? They seem to have few, but stellar...

Thank you both for the kind advice. Unfortunately, my HEM2s just broke down and I have no way to listen to music on my commute :frowning2:. Since that's usually the only time I get to enjoy music, I will probably need schedule another audition and choose something on the spot. I will let you...

Unfortunately, the store does not allow returns on IEMs due to reasons associated with hygiene. Judging by your name, I'm pretty sure we're from the same country, so you know how hard it is to purchase audio products here, since we barely have any proper showrooms. The reason I wanted to...

The local AV retailer has a deal on the HEM8. They're 300 euros instead of their usual 450. I have the HEM2 and I like them a lot. Should I go for the upgrade? I use them at least 1 hour each day on my daily commute with my phone (Xperia XZ3). I also have the Hidizs Sonata DAC cable in case I...

I'm sure they're amazing SQ wise, but I'm more curious about where you guys use them. Do you use then at home, during commutes, at a noisy office? How does their openness affect your listening experience?

I've seen multiple local deals for the isine 10 for like 120-130€ and I was thinking about getting them, but I can't think of any situation where I can properly enjoy them. I can't use them in my commute, nor at the office, since they're open back and at home I would rather use my full size...

Hello, I currently have a a pair of RHA MA750i IEMs and a Nexus 6p and I wish to improve my mobile experience. I have accepted the fact that the phones I tend to like will have bad DACs. Would it be a better idea to buy a small dedicated DAC/AMP like the Fiio K1 for the phone or would I be...

I want a new DAC+amp for my Ultrasone Pro 550's that I can connect to my PC I was eyeing the Fiio E10k, but I found a second-hand D2+ at a pretty good price (20 bucks lower than the E10k). From what I've gathered the D2+ uses the same DAC as the older E10, which sounds noticeably worse than the...

These things will set me back ~20$ since I don't live in the US. Are there any better alternatives in this price range that I can easily purchase from europe? I want to try them for the nice bass.

I've just noticed that an online retailer from my country has brought a lot of Superlux models. Up until now I've heard a lot of good things about the 681 and 668b's. Which one of those in the list should I choose? I value comfort and noise isolation above all and I think I would prefer a more...

A friend of mine asked for some advice. He needs a new pair of cans for his computer. I'll lay out the the needs in a list for easier reading/understanding:   The audio source is a Asus Xonar D1, no dedicated amp for the moment   - 100$ budget, maybe a little more if they are a very good...

I am from Romania.   I promise to review the E-212 and post it at Headfi and our local forum.   Already sent an e-mail. Awaiting your reply!

Nope, it doesn't have anything else but volume controls.   I also tried all the rooms. Even the DH1 seems to have that strange reverb effect that I don't really like.

I just tried the dolby headphone option on my Xonar DG in Metro Last Light, in both 5.1 and 7.1 mode and it it didn't really seem to improve my experience. Besides, I don't like that echoey feel at all. Is there any way to get rid of it?   I use a pair of Ultrasone Pro-550's and, considering...

My Proline 550s are finaly back from repairs along with some promo material. The badge particularly looks pretty nice! They replaced the headband with the one found on the Pro550 along with the new memory foam headpad.     

I'll try to stay away from trouble ;). The thing is, now I realise how uncomfortable they were. I really need to get myself a new headpad if they don't replace it with the one on the newer Pros.

Well, maybe it's just my big head which caused the stress. I contacted ultrasone europe and they said they'll repair them free of charge. Talk about great support! Unfortunately, I'll have to get by with some crappy old drivers for a couple of weeks.

Well, they didn't exactly shatter overnight. They started cracking after just a few days of use, but I heard of such issues and I didn't think it would get so bad. Here's how they looked a couple of weeks ago when I sent them back to the retailer. I just want to know how I can fix them.   

Well, this is bull!@#$! This is how my proline 550's look after a little more than a month of careful use, only at the computer. Yes, those are all bits and pieces from the headband and no, I did not sit on them. The warranty representative told me that it looks like mechanical abuse and I can't...

I managed to find the official Sennheiser importer for my country and asked for a HD650 headpad. 8 euros + VAT + shipping and they arrive in at least 3 weeks. Bummer.

As far as I can tell, the adjustment mechanism seems pretty similar.

Quote:   A great idea! Unfortunately, I don't think I can find such a thing without paying and additional 30-40 bucks just for shipping. [Insert random comment about crappy country here]   Any ideas? The only thing I found after some googling is this:  ...
