Hi guys, I bought the HD 650 for $530 CAD (inc tax) and have until the end of the month to return them if I so desire. I'm kind of tempted to buy the HE-500 from Audioadvisor for $499 USD + tax and would get it shipped to a USA address and pick it up. I would preferably have it shipped to Canada...

I can currently get a pair of HE-400i for $395 USD and the HD650 for $500 CAD (often goes on sale for $350 USD) though.    Consider both headphones priced at the same value, what one would you get?

Budget - $400 USD   Source - O2 Amp/Schiit Modi   Requirements for Isolation - open headphones are fine,    Preferred Type of Headphone - full-sized   Preferred tonal balance - unsure   Past headphones - DT 990, Alpha Dogs, I do enjoy both but decided to sell because I wanted more from...

I have the HTC One M8 (rooted with harman kardon edition installed)   I am using the 1964ears V3 custom IEMs and was wondering if I would benefit from getting a portable amp/dac combo and if it is worth the extra carry-on?   I hear these IEMs are fairly efficient and I would rather not carry...

I am receiving 1964Ears V3 soon with the clear cable which seems to oxidize overtime. I am looking for an affordable cable that improves sound and was thinking the Fiio RC-WT1, it seems like a good cable that is only $27. Anyone have opinions on this cable or anything else similarly priced?

I first disabled integrated audio from my PC through the bios and trying to get asio to work for the Schiit Modi but ASIO4ALL says that it is idle/unavailable?   It works fine without ASIO?  

I am going to sell my W3 and get CIEMs, what are the best CIEMs under $500?   Some are: JH5 Pro - $400 1964Ears V2 - $400 1964Ears V3 - $450 Remolded Westone 3 from InEarZ 

I have the Westone 3 and got it from Amazon for $160 when it was on sale for a couple of weeks, they are great.   Although, I like the around the ear style but it sometimes gets annoying to roll the comply tips, place in ear and wait for it to seal. Also they sometimes seal differently and...

Anyone that knows the difference between the two which would you recommend? If you recommend the ZMF over the MDP which modifications would you get to get the best sound?

Looking for headphones for under $600, preferably in the $300 range. I was thinking of getting closed for university so people wouldn't get bothered by music. But the only pair are the mad dogs pros (I think). I have the Vali and Modi to drive headphones off of.   Are open headphones better...

I live in Canda so there isn't much to choose from. We have Deezer, Rdio, Xbox Music and Songza, or Spotify with proxy.     Right now I am leaning towards Deezer although I really like that Rdio and Spotify have desktop clients to use with hotkeys rather than in a browser. Although Spotify I...

Right now I have the Samsung S3 I747M running with my Westone 3 and hearing a bit of noise floor, the Fiio E6 helps it a little but it's a hassle to hook it up all the time. I am looking for something cheap that eliminates the noise floor hissing and excellent sound quality. I don't want to...

I'm really close to getting the Schiit Vali but the microphonics and is the sound quality any better than magni/modi or o2/odac combo? Or anything else like the TubeMagic D1 Plus?     Please keep in mind the bang to buck ratio. Will the Asgard 2 and Modi costing $350 sound that much better...

I have the Pioneer VSX-D711 and was wondering what is the best way connecting it to the computer? I have them hooked up with the DT 990-250 for the time being when I get some money and make a final decision vali,magni/modi or o2/odac.   There is optical in from the computer, RCAs and lots...

What is better? I am currently running the DT 990-250, but I am looking to upgrade to HD 650/600, HE-400/500 or LCD-2. (leaning towards HE-400 or HE-500).   I would purchase the dac that matches the amp e.g. Schiit i'll get the modi, O2 i'll get the odac. Price is not a concern. I am using the...

I am in Canada and looking for a DAP for under $100, can go a little higher buy I don't want much more than $100 shipped or bought in stores. Keep in mind I have to buy from Canada or else i'll be hit with like $40 in duties...   I was looking at the Clip Zip rockbox'd for $50, colorfly c3...

I have e10 with 990 and might be upgrading to the HE-400 by next Christmas probably!    Which one will drive the 990 and the HE-400 (or HD 650) the best? Keep price range in mind, although shipping the Schiit is like $36 to Canada.   I much prefer the looks of the Schiit but the SQ is more...

Looking for a cheap dap that runs the Westone 3 well. I am having hiss coming out from my IEMs because of my phone and need a better dap to run it with. The battery life the s3 drains rather quick when running flac files. I will put rockbox on it (is it hard to?). I need a sandisk player with...

The magni and modi are much better looking and are cheaper and the 1/4" input is nice. The o2 and odac are don't look very good but are they better? (Approximately $20 more b/c of cheaper shipping and no RCA cables needed)   The magni and modi have a fixed gain and I have heard they are...

Right now I am using the Fiio e10 which is fairly new and it is nice although I am getting some static issues only through my macbook air. Not sure what is up there but it works fine on my computer. It can drive my DT 990-250 well and not going past 30% volume on it (Approx 2.5/8 on volume). But...

The Westone 3 are on sale for only $179, I was wondering if this is a good deal before actually buying these. Would it be better to wait until Black Friday and get the UE 900? I feel like these are good, I don't want the price to go up again but if it goes down I will be dissapointed.   What...

Currently I can buy the Westone 3 for around $230 from SonicElectronix, EarphoneSolutions and Amazon.com   or buy the TDK BA-200 from BHPhotoVideo for $150   Is the Westone 3 worth the $70/80 dollar upgrade? Any other earphones that are lower than $200 is better? I am look for full sound...
