    Returning unopened Jaybird X3s... Looking for the best Bluetooth earbuds/headphones for podcasts, casual listening, etc...

    Hi guys,   I've read that below $100 there's not a lot of great stuff for Bluetooth earbuds.    I'm just looking for something with a long battery life and very long range so I can listen to podcasts around my house.    Are there any recommendations? I'm not looking to spend more than $50...

    My mummy broke my JVC HA-S500-B...

      Basically, the stereo connector on the cable is broken after I lent them out. Thanks, mummy!   I'm thinking about buying a replacement cable and fixing them as a DIY project. I'm not sure what's involved or how hard it'll be but are there any recommendation for cables available in Canada...

    What are the best replacement ear pads for the DT990 Pro?

    I'm wondering if I should drop the $45 CAD on the new, official velour pads. Or maybe you have some other suggestions. I tried washing the original pads but they are still gross.   Cheers!

    Making Use of my O2+ODAC

    My setup:   DT 990 Pro (250 ohms) O2+ODAC FLAC music library   I've been using this setup for a year and loving it. I understand the role of my DAC as something completely transparent. I mainly play video games, watch movies, and listen to music with these headphones. I also do some...

    Aune T1 OR Objective2 for DT990 Pros...which is smarter?

    There's the deal for the Aune T1 and from what I've read, it's a nice dac/amp for these headphones so long as a get a different bulb. But really, it's not a great deal after the duties and taxes, and shipping to Canada. It will easily come to $160-$190 CAD. Up until tomorrow I can still cancel...

    DT 990 Pros & Aune T1: A good pairing?

    Is this a good choice for these headphones? I'm hoping this DAC/Amp combo is a step up from something like the FiiO E17. I like that I can pick out different tubes to influence the sound.

    Sound Blaster Z & Sound Blaster 5.1 Omni: Are they they same?

    I want to get the DT 990 Pro 250 Ohms and I'm looking for something to properly drive these.    I'm looking at the Sound Blaster Z and the Sound Blaster 5.1 Omni.   If both are the same product, with a DAC & AMP, then I am leaning towards the external so I could use it with my laptop too.  ...

    DT 990 Pro 250 Ohms: Sound Blaster Z *or* DAC/AMP combo?

    Hi all,   What dac/amp would you need to get the most out of these cans? I don't want to buy garbage but my budget is around $100-120. I will mostly use these for music/gaming at my main desktop.    Someone recommended the following in another thread:   Creative Sound Blaster Z   OR  ...

    DT 990 Amp recommendations

    DT 990 PRO 250 OMHS   Is that a great price? Are these great cans?    I have a US-122L but I don't think that's going to power these things to get the best use out of them.   What amps do you recommend around $100 or less? I don't want to spend a lot, I just don't wan them to sound like...

    MDR-XB500s... mind blowing bass? Not really..

    I just opened these and started listening to a bunch of genres: hard electro-house, some brostep, rap, etc. The bass isn't rattling my ears.     Did I just overhype these? Maybe I need to play around with the EQ? Because out of the box, I don't hear bass that shakes my ears.    I doubt...

    Just bought the Sony XB500.. need some advice.

    First of all, I have the JVC HA-S500s and I've been burning them in overnight:     They sound fantastic. A lot of the music I listen to sounds great with these headphones.   However, I also listen to a lot of electronic, rap, glitch, acid jazz and drumstep, and this is where I find...

    JVC HA-S500 or JVC HA-S400???

    I've been reading a lot about these and I think they will be good for me.   What I listen to right now: 320 and FLAC electronic music... Junior Boys, Lemaitre, Daft Punk, a little bit of electro house, nu disco, glow fi, like Slow Magic, Chrome Sparks, and some rap, like Kanye West. I am a...

    Can you convince me to cancel my Sony MDR-XB500 order?

    I have until tomorrow morning to cancel my order.   I bought a sansa clip+ for $29 and I was going to rockbox it so I could EQ these headphones (from what I've read, they EQ well). I can't decide between whether I should just get these or save up a bit more and wait for something like the...

    [Sony MDR-XB500] Vs. [JVC Victor HA-S500]

    Hi guys,   I am interested in a fun headset. I have an ATH-M20 for more accurate sound and for some amateur mixing purposes.    What I want is a headset that I can EQ and sound great for electronic, like electronic house, and rap. I heard the Sony headset would be great for this.   ...

    ...Bought the Sony MDR-XB500, true audiophile cans!

    Just kidding, of course. Now that I have your attention...   I just bought the Sony MDR-XB500 for about $50 because of InnerFiedlity's review and this thread.    An audiophile friend recommended the ATH-M50 which was recently on sale for $99 USD, but I am a basshead and I instead opted...
