I'm going to be looking at replacing my AKG K550 in a couple of months and would like some advice on what to replace them with. I'm replacing them because although I love the sound most of the time I do I have everything below 100hz boosted by 3 on Equalizer APO and on certain songs I have to...

Hi all, I currently have AKG K550 and AKG K612 Pro both of which I like but especially the K550. I'm feeeding them from a Fiio E10k as DAC into a Little Dot I+ amp running Voshtok Tubes and a TI OPA2227 opamp. I'm looking to improve things but don't have massive budget available immediately so...

Please close. Posted to wrong section by mistake.

Looking at replacing my AKG K550 and don't want to spend too much, as I have already modded my K550 (Replaceable cable mod, Brainwavz angled pads and Sennheiser HD201 headband pad) I'm not scared of modding them if needed but just wanted opinions on whether this would be a good upgrade. Also...

I've narrowed my next set of headphones down to either of these. I think I'd prefer the K702 for the build quality and the detachable cable but I think the sound signature of the K612 might suit me more. If I do the bass mod (sticker removal one) on the K702, how does the sound then compare to a...

I've recently been looking at open back headphones to complement my AKG K550. I have some Tuefel Aureol Real but I don't really feel they are excelling in any area. They're an ok headphone but not a patch on the AKG.   I've had a chance today to listen to a pair of HD518's and that has got me...

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all of you on this forum as thanks to you lot I'm sat here listening to music from my computer through a new Fiio X3 in DAC mode and into my new AKG K550 headphones and I'm absolutely loving it.   I suspect this could get expensive though as I've already been...

Just as the title says really. In the ease of use wars, which is the winner.

I'm going to be buying one of these next weekend and I wondered which people considered to be best for ease of use.

Just got a Sansa clip zip (refurb for £20), first thing I did was stick K T Tunstall - Eye to the Telescope on the internal memory (got 13.5Gb copying to memory card) and pressed play.   WOW!   Coming from a PC running as Asus Xonar DS sound card into some creative speakers that have...

Hi, I'm having to think about replacing my beloved Goldring DR 150 phones as even with half a roll of tape round the headband they're getting floppy again (cracked and broken side pieces, standard goldring fault).   I've been reading on here and at the moment am considering AKG K701, K702...

Hi all,   I'm really hoping that someone here can help me make a decision.   I'm looking at buying a Fiio X3 in the next few weeks but I'm also going to be buying some new headphones soon and would like help. I'm definitely looking at in ears at the moment. I may treat myself to some Q701's...

I'm looking to order a Fiio X3 in a few weeks time and want to look at some improved in ear headphones.   I'm looking at the Audio Technica ATH-CKX9 as I like the fact that they have an airy and open sound but still decent punch in the bass (at least that's the idea I get from reviews).  ...

Hi all,   I'm looking to buy a new portable player soon and would appreciate some advice.   Most important factors are, storage space, build quality and sound quality with ease of use coming in very close behind. I'd also prefer something with a decent size screen for navigation (i.e 2.5" or...

Hi,   I'm new to the forums but not new to reasonable audio gear. I've joined the forum partly to say thanks to the folks on here for the reviews of the Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones.   I have a pair of Goldring DR150's which are unfortunately dying, the headband has been glued twice and...
