Compared to let's say a Shure 940 or ATH M50.   I know the Ultrasone is at least 6 times more expensive than either of those even used... But, by how much is the ultrasone better? I heard mixed reviews about the Ultrasone, some say it's one of the best closed back headphones, but it's only...

Is the He 400 really a upgrade or just a side-grade over the K702?   I heard the only "real" upgrade of the K702 is the HD800, which does everything the AKG does, but better.   I only have a Modi + E12 setup, but i heard the HE 400 will be easy to drive.   Some authorized dealer on Ebay is...

I purchased just a cheap USB cable from monoprice, and i was wondering if i need to invest 20-30 bucks on a Schiit PYST?   My current setup is K702 + E12 + Modi + PC FLAC files.   Should i invest in a nice USB cable? Also, do i really need to upgrade? I was looking to buy a HE 400 if the...

Now everytime i listen to my M50 or any other headphone all i can think of is how bad the soundstage is. Everything's in your face, and no sense of the euphonic soundstage of the K702.   Almost threw up when i listened to my M50 again in the first time in a week. (I literally gotten very dizzy...

Since it's USB driven, there's no on/off switch.   You'll always get that LED light if you plug it in. I was wondering do i need to unplug the USB everytime i done using it?

I just recently upgraded from an Iphone powered K702 to a E12 +LOD+ Iphone powered K702 for over a day. However, in this time, I did some A/B testing and just general listening. It is normal that i heard little to no difference between the SQ? I checked all the serial code on this brand new E12...

Hey, i was wondering what gain setting should i be using on my new E12 with a pair of K702? The headphones can get loud enough on 0+ db settings easyily.  However, should i switch the setting up to +16db and turn down the volume? I was wondering if this is just a volume thing, or does this...

My my, I just receieved a pair of K702 used with 30-40 hours on them. This is my second pair of "real" headphones, my first being the ATH M50.    And what can i say, at first they sounded to have a little more detail than the M50, however i can tell right away they've 10000000x better sound...

I plan on getting a E12 and connecting it with a DAC like the Schiit Modi. I heard some really good things about both, and thought i could get this portable + desktop setup for my K702 + m50 I've a quick question regarding what sort of connectors i need to buy? I know i need a RCA cable to...

Which is better, Fiio EK9 or the Schiit Magni? What setup would you personally get? The EK9 has a nice feature, specifically the fact that it can cradle the very popular Fiio E17 DAC/AMP, making the combined devices an AMP x DAC system. Also, the E17 is portable and provides tremendous...

I recently purchased a pair of AKG K702 for 155$. Now i'm looking for a good starter amp to make these headphones worth listening to. My budget is around 100 dollars atm, but i'll upgrade later.   I narrowed down to a few choices from reading atm, but feel free to suggest others.   1...

Hey guys, just a beginner level audiophile here. I purchased a pair of M50s for portable uses a few months ago and was blown away by the differences of that and a set of normal $20 cans.   However, there's just something lacking after a while of reading and listenting to them on my onboard...
