    New HTC One M8 audio review

    if you're using the phone itself, htc. much newer, etc.   If you only use it as a music player, go for the 4s, or maybe better a standalone Hifi Player? like, Fiio X3, some Cowon or something like that. since here you won't pay for 95% the features you won't use.   But in terms of...

    Samsung Galaxy S7 - Best next audiophile phone?

    It's not that simple. Even Audiophiles should consider all the pros and cons. If you chose the LG G5 + Hifi modul (which someone reviewed and claimed it didnt sound really better, just like through an Equalizer) over the S7, you will get: - Much worse build quality - worse battery Life...

    Soundcard for positional audio in FPS games

    Depends. What exactly are you looking for?   The ATH M50 are very overrated in my Opinion. They do sound "fun" (bassy), but the soundstage is VERY small. Making them a good headphone, but NOT a good choice for Gamers (who need a good soundstage for positional audio).   Beyerdynamic DT 770...

    Samsung Galaxy S7 - Best next audiophile phone?

    Got my S7 Edge (european, Exynos chip) since a Week now.   Didnt listened really much, but i honestly didn't notice any big differences to my old HTC one M8 (which was really good... Low output impedance, 1.2 Volt output). If there are differences, then its just small nuances.   And, with...

    New HTC One M8 audio review

    If it can drive one of those, it should be the sennheiser. Planar technology + lower sensetivity = needs more Power to drive.   The difference in Impedance doesnt do anything here. My 250 Ohm Beyerdynamic T90 (which i can't endure at 15/15 volume on my one m8, no volume-mods) is pretty much...

    Creative Omni 5.1 or Asus Xonar U7

    Btw, the Kingston HyperX Cloud (and Cloud 2, which are technically the same), are based on the Headphones "Takstar Pro 80". So they arent "Gaming Headsets" like most others, they are actually real Headphones with a mic on it. And tons of stuff in like adapters :D )   One of the only headsets...

    Beyerdynamic Custom Studio?

    Holy fok man, buy it. Blind. lol Even for 200€ i think it's one of the best closed headphones you can buy. But for 70? This is like a Dream.    Like i said, compared t your DT 770, "tighter bass, better mids", so it can most probably completely replace your DT 770 Pro. Which you can sell for...

    Just got myself Senn HD650 + Schiit M&M stack, sounds awful! Advice?

    A description would be helpful. What exactly? Tonality? Does it feels like soundquality is just really bad?   (try another source. Like another computer, your smartphone etc.

    Dt880 vs k712 pro??

    Even worse: Some said, it needs more power, than the 250 Ohm DT-series. The T (Tesla) series is MUCH more efficient.

    Dt880 vs k712 pro??

    But it should be much more expensive? DT 880 costs 215-230€ here. AKG K712 costs 350€, almost like the better T90.   And, since the K712 is pretty much just an K701 with WORSE soundstage/resolution, but MORE bass.... well, i would NOT buy the K712 without comparing it directly to a T90. (but...

    Wide Soundstage Open-back Headphones Under $500?

    I would mention the Beyerdynamic T90 (if you arent allergic to a bit treble). I found it quite spacious, althrough i am not very sensetive for soundstage comparisons. Pricerange is also quite nice. For 399€ atm, sometimes 350€, the soundstage, precision, and details are truly incredible.

    Philips Fidelio X2 or Beats Studio 2

    Yup, the solo 2 is the only good beats. Especcially for his 140€ price her ein germany~. (see Innerfidelity review). He was also disappointed of the Studio 2, and i would not buy it. Directly compared to the Fidelio X2 is like day and night. The Studio feels like a cheap plastic toy, that fell...

    Sennheiser HD600 or Philips Fidelio X2 cant decide

    Still. Thats just some measurements, that has nothing to do with real life listening. Did you Listen to that specific setup, and heared the difference you have stated?   I have Used my old Shure SE 215 inears with 20 Ohm on my old Asus Xonar DX (97~ Ohm output impedance). I heared like zero...

    Sennheiser HD600 or Philips Fidelio X2 cant decide

    But thats more 90% theory...   I am pretty sure, a 1200€+ planar magnetic headphone with low impedance will sound way more precise than a 300 Ohm HD 600/650. You can pretty much completely ignore the Impedance of a headphone, as it alone gives you Zero information about anything. You will...

    Sennheiser HD600 or Philips Fidelio X2 cant decide

    Order both and try. One person will tell you hd 600 are better, other one that x2 are better. Sound is a personal thing~   But whats objective: The X2 are FAR better built than the HD 600.   But pls: You can read amazon reviews, but dont make your choice there!!! Every "idiot" can write a...

    Amp for Beyerdynamic T90

    I can assure you, the T90 is SO easy to drive, The pretty much only thing an Amp will do for you is: Louder. Really, don't know a headphone thats easier to drive at that pricepoint. So: If its loud enough, you probably won't notice more than a few % difference in soundquality.   For me, i am...

    Astro A50 vs Astro A40 vs Sennheiser G4ME ZERO For CSGO/Games

    I think, if everything's overpriced, i would personally give Beyerdynamic a shot. Since it has a great spare part situation if anything happens to it, so at least you get a quite good guarantee, that it will last long.

    Astro A50 vs Astro A40 vs Sennheiser G4ME ZERO For CSGO/Games

    Oh god, thats horrible expensive holy ****.. (But i still think, the DT 990 would be superiour to A50)   How about AKG K612 Pro / AKG K701 / AKG K702 / AKG Q701? How much would they cost, if they are available in australia?   Or any Sennheiser model from HD 558 and higher?   (Anyway, if...

    Astro A50 vs Astro A40 vs Sennheiser G4ME ZERO For CSGO/Games

    none of them: http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-5-31-2015-beyer-cop-and-shure-1540-added   The Zero is nothing else than a 100€  PC 350, thats sold with another color. Dont waste your money on that ****.   Astro doesnt make good audio products. The A40 is...

    Measurements vs Sound quality?

    Mainly because measurements dont show you the exact soundquality, and most measurements are quite useless in that regard.   There are much more components, and more things that actually do something for soundquality (i doubt that ANYONE will hear any difference between some THD measurements...

    Beyerdynamic Custom Studio?

    Here something, but german: http://www.hifi-forum.de/index.php?action=browseT&forum_id=110&thread=15516&postID=29#29   TL:DR: - Soundquality is BETTER than a DT 770 Pro (which is better, than Custom One Pro!). Tighter bass, better mids. - Doesnt sound thaaat great, if the dac/amp isnt very...

    [HELP] Asus SXT + Beyerdynamic?

    That certainly. The STX has no problems driving 600 ohms.

    [HELP] Asus SXT + Beyerdynamic?

    If you can get dt 770 600 Ohm fr 150€, thats perfectly fine. The dt 770 Pro 250 Ohm cost 140-150 already~.   But: They have strong bass and treble, and are closed. So NOT compareable to the PC 360.   I personally would prefer the DT 880. they are open, sound quite neutral (just...

    Does this headphone exist !?

    No. Important here is the efficiency. There are 250-600 ohm headphones, that are easier to drive, than others with just 38-100~ Ohm.   Look the heapdhone as a whole, the impedance, technology and efficiency.   My beyerdynamic T90 (Tesla drivers are very efficient) is just as loud as my 32...

    Best Studio Headphones

    Beyerdynamic Custom Studio might be a nice choice. Removeable cable, Bass-slider (from light bass, over linear to bass-head), customizable, rather comfortable. Seems like on of the best "allrounders" you could possibly buy.   If i would look for a closed (studio) headphone, that would be my...
