I purchased a C&C BH2 amp from Shenzhen Audio, which arrived a week ago, a couple of weeks after placing the order.   Today I tested the AKG K-401s, the Sennheiser Momentums, PSB M4U 2s, and the AKG K-495 NCs. It worked really well and I'm very happy with the unit: the very small size, good...

I tried the Momentum on my Lumia 920 and found that it definitely needs an amp.

Thanks, Nazeem. I've been looking off and on for a good playback application and never came across foobar, weird. Anyway, I installed it and like its simple sophistication.   I'm surprised foobar hasn't been ported over to wp8, as it seems to be a native Windows app.

Haha, yeah, just need to get those cans.   Although, after that I need some HD versions of the music I like. Is there a good application available on windows that can allow me to evaluate the quality of my current music files? Is there a good site I can buy music from? I tried HDtracks and...

Hi JP,   Taking a quick look at the Digizoid just now, it seems that it might fill a bit of a niche as a Bass enhancer and be recognised for this more so than for its use as an all-round amp. Indeed, the BH and BH2 have a very good reputation as an all-round amplifier that also can boost...

Hi Nazeem and SkyBleu,   I just purchased a C&C BH2 and a ZY Cable from http://www.shenzhenaudio.com I preferred to use Shenzhenaudio over eBay, as they are the official distributor for C&C gear and I can purchase multiple items at once haha.   SkyBleu, I did some more reading about the...

I'll go with the C3. The C4 is $800 and I agree with your points about the CK3 :)   Thanks, SkyBleu

Ah, Ok. No worries. I think I can also work around not having a playlist :)   Thank you, SkyBleu.

No worries at all, mate. I think that 16bit flac and 320kbps mp3 will be just fine for me    I just noticed that Colorfly also make other DAPs, like the CK3. Might the CK3 be as good as the C3 but allow us to create playlists? What about the C4? Sorry about the continuous stream of bloody...

Yes, definitely easier, SkyBleu. Thanks mate.   What format do you generally use? How much of your stuff is 24bit? Is 24bit going to make much difference at this level (Momentum/BH2/C3)?   Cheers

Thank you, SkyBleu. That's great information.   The C3 and BH2 look to be a really good-quality lower-cost combination. Perfect for driving the Momentum cans, and a great start for a beginner like me.   Cheers

Thanks mate, appreciated.   I'm in Canberra, so one to two weeks is going to be accurate for me, too.   I was also reading about the iBasso DX100. I found it by searching around for a good DAP solution. Totally at the other end of the spectrum though. And unbelievably heavy, too.  ...

Awesome, Nazeem and SkyBleu! Thanks for posting up about the BH. I am reading through the main thread after checking out the review and I'm going to order one. Do you have a link for a purchase?   I'll order the amp and go get the Momentums. How long did the amp take to arrive?   BTW...

I'm considering the Momentum headphones and would like an amp that will allow me to adjust Bass/Treble so that I can quickly dial-in a bias that suites the sound for a particular genre of music. I think the Momentum is especially good for acoustic, but believe that their excellent balance and...

Hey Guys,   I decided to check out non-nc headphones and tried the AKG K-550 and Sennheiser Momentum. The 550s are just too big for my head and I had to pretty much hold them in place to get the right seal. The Momentums were awesome and when I did an ABC between the 550, PSB and Momentum...

I just checked the prices on these and yeah, probably won't be getting any. Honestly, I don't know why customizing the shell has to result in such a big price. Maybe they don't just customize the shell. Anyway, I'll see if I can get some universals to fit.

I'm in Canberra, Australia. Unfortunately, the last remaining audiophile shop doesn't keep much stock of headphones anymore.   I am thinking of getting some phones while I am in Bangkok around early August, as I will be there for two weeks and can browse some of the really good stores.  ...

Awesome, thanks Kimvictor.   I think phones that are strongest in the mid range would be a fair assessment. Although, I was just listening to Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House" track and had played around with the EQ so that it was a bit heavy in the mid (which might be said to be dark...

Hi Kim,   That is a great question and I'll try to answer with my limited experience and vocabulary.   I would say a full natural sound that has great separation of each individual instrument, but which can express the overall harmonics that result from the interaction of all the...

Hi Everyone,   What a fantastic site you have here.   I was thinking of getting the PSB M4U 2 headphones and a portable amp for general use and for travel.   I've also got some AKG-K401 headphones, and when paired with the Nokia Lumia 920 I find the sound a little quiet. So I am...
