Specially the cup volume.   So here's the deal. I have already ordered Momentum Over-Ear v1 drivers, and have 90% of my build planned out (working on a headband folding mechanism). I am quite fond of the Momentums sound and would like to achieve something close to it, which, if my...

Hello Head-Fiers of Israel (and anyone else, but this is mostly a geographical thing...)   I have SoundMAGIC HP100 drivers in a pair of Howard Leight L1's, with a little extra modding, and a pair of modded Philips Citiscape Fixies. I would love to get the measurements of either or both. Please...

So I bought some cheap headphones. Specifically the Philips Citiscape Fixies. I liked the design and I had no headphones on me for a couple of days. Out of the box they sound f@%&ing awful. MASSIVE BOOMY BASS, screechy mids, sibilant highs, and narrow soundstage. The Picasso's of "consumer level...

I have seen complaints on various headphones that despite the circumaural label they don't fit the ears properly, that they lack depth, or other such that have to do with dimensions.   Those amongst you that have shopped on-line for marital (or single life) aides already know that the come...

Hello DIYer's of Head-fi. I am mulling over an idea which for now I think best to keep close to the chest,but please bear with me. If you are so inclined I would greatly appreciate help with these questions. To confirm or deny my own findings, and to further my knowledge in general. Thanks...

Hi,   Sorry if this is a repeat of something, I couldn't find a thread to deal with this issue specifically.   What materials do y'all DIYers use as acoustic material inside your custom made headphones, or just for modding? Why this material? What do you use it for (Taming/increasing the...

Hello dear Head-Fi DIYers   I own a pair of SoundMAGIC HP100's (53mm drivers). Much to my dismay, the plastic holding the left cup in place has broken. A friend of mine has the Aiaiai TMA-1 (40mm drivers) in which the headband broke. I would like to take the drivers out of both, and put them...

Hello dear head-fiers,   The short of it is, which DAP would you recommend for source-matching with the V-Moda M80 Crossfades in a price range of $130-190 in which second hand is fine, and why that one? The warmth/brightness? Seperation/soundstage? etc.   More details in the details   ...

Okay, so we have, on these forums people ranging from love-of-music-born audio-enthusiasts to full blown audiophiles willing to live in a 2 sqr-ft apartment surrounded by equipment that costs more than their house. So there is a thread discussing whether or not audiophiles have a deeper...

Do you think it feasible to have audiophile source material companies expand into the phone making industry? Having audiophile targeted phones? Or do you think that, at least for time-being, the costs would outweigh the benefits? Companies such as iBasso, Cowon, Fiio, etc......

I know these that the first is more than twice the price of the other.   I use the JDS ODAC + JDS cMoyBB + AKG K141 mkII + Laptop when on the go, which yields a very nice sound (a bit bass lacking without the cMoy's bass boost, a bit muddy with, I've yet to find a decent enough EQ plug-in for...

Just ordered a pair for my dad. Saw the price drop ($230 $150) thought you might like to know.   http://v-moda.com/crossfade-m-80-shadow-on-ear/

Hi, I'm sorry if this is a thrashed and beaten subject, but after a long time of searching through the forums I couldn't find the information I needed, so I'm hoping this yields better results.   I am looking for a USB connectable DAC. My budget is, at a stretch, $350US. My intention is to...

Right know I'm listening to things like Ozric Tentacles and Pink Floyd. Basically I'm looking for the slighlty calmer stuff which you can just kick back and trip out to.   For the passed few years I have been really into Ambient and Chillout (Shpongle, Solar Fields,Androcell etc) so...
