Currently I don't have any plans for purchases. The E3000's work, and are cheap enough to not worry about. As long as I don't use anything nicer than them I won't know what I am missing xD Obviously the above sentence is not ideal, but I am currently saving up for other things in life. I am...

Altogether, I have been quite happy with them. However there is one caveat to remember, the EPH100's were £100 headphones, these E3000's are £50 headphones. So the overall sound is similar, but certainly not the same (way way closer than the RE-400's that I initially had). The EPH-100's seal...

The E3000's arrived earlier today. Overall I am very happy with them. Especially considering they are half the price of the EPH100's. The fit is comfortable, to my ears the sound is good (nothing mind blowing, but perfectly pleasant to listen too). To compare to the EPH-100's. They are similar...

Decided to have a little look around at reviews of the Final E3000 headphones. The review from audiophileon goes as far as to suggest that they sound similar to the EPH100 headphones that I already like, so I think I might have to put a pair of them on order and see what they are like.

I can't say I have. The only HiFiman headphones I have tried are the RE400 waterline headphones. I also can't say I tried them through any high end audio dac or amp (laptop & SnapDragon 820 integrated), but equally I can't say they have caused me any issues in the past. I don't see the value in...

For a little background knowledge. First "proper" IEM's I had were Klipsch Image S4a2's, which died after about a year. Then I had Yamaha EPH100's. These are still going after about 3 years(?), however have reliability issues. I think they are gunked up a bit inside, and there isn't really any...

If you are worried about all the Chinese devices after what Lenovo did just wait until you find out what all the US and European device manufactures do :p   All Laptop brands install loads of bloatware on there cheap devices. At this point they have very little choice other than putting the...

I am currently doing an audio file type test   Music details: I am using a small snippet of audio due to fair use / copyright laws. The album is pay what you like so you can get the full album for free anyway. Song: Intrepid Journey Album: Redemption Artist: Aaron Static Get the...

Just for fun. Personally i much prefer ableton because i hate having loads of windows open at once cause i always find myself managing them. I do have quite a few vst's but they are all free ones, i dont tend to use them as much as i should do though. I really like having physical buttons and...

Well i guess i may as well post my set of gear. I dont have much in terms of headphones since i only have one pair of IEM's and a semi dead pair of klipsch Image s4a2's (Build quality was awful, sold by klipsch through amazon so not fake either). I occasionally dabble in making music in my spare...

If you wanted to have a bit of DIY fun you could also take inspiration from this guy: http://www.instructables.com/id/USB-Microphone/?ALLSTEPS   The zalman or mod mic may be a better solution for you but i thought i may as well share this in case you would enjoy it. If you want to run it...

You could buy a nice set of headphones without a microphone and then buy a mod mic to attach to them.This allows you to get whatever headphones you like with a sound that suits you. I would advise against nearly all gaming headsets if you want to listen to music etc. They are (nearly) all badly...

Went for the ATH-M40X.   There were lot of positive reviews. Features such as the removable cable (with 2 cables in the box) were able to make the extra cost worth it since cables can often be the first thing to wear out. The more simple design was also appreciated because i doubt my dad would...

While those suggestions are good and appreciated i doubt that i will be able to get them delivered in time because they would be delivered from abroad. It would also be nice for them to be produced by a brand with a useable warranty etc.   I have been looking around still. Came up with a...

Well, the budget doesn't really stretch to being 500% bigger than it currently is so the audio technicas are out. The Sure 440's are also 133% of the original budget which is too much for stretching. The M-Audio headphones are pretty difficult to find in the UK and are over budget when looking...

@Headphone41 Return to amazon as faulty. Its pretty painless to do. Depending on what country you are in you may be protected by quite a few consumer laws.

Im looking for a set of headphones for my dad for fathers day.   My dad tends to enjoy listening to music with a drink and is by no means interested in audio quality at all. As long as it plays the same song he tells it to he is happy. Since its a fathers day gift the price range is under £60...

Quote from the top of the Computer audio sub forum:   ☞ WAIT! DAC threads don't go here. They go in the Dedicated Source Components forum.   You are probably more likely to get a response there

My issue is that adjusting the subwoofer volume on the xonar dx doesnt effect the actual subwoofer volume much. (sound card setting = what i actually hear) Everything at standard volume = Everything normal Sub volume off + all other normal = Everything normal but sub is very slightly quieter...

I would probably say don't get another pair of klipsch headphones. I have had 2 pairs of image s4a (ii) headphones and both broke, although the second pair are just a little unreliable. So unless you think you can claim on warranty i would leave them, at least until they make a product that...

The headphones have arrived and i have started using them, from my initial impressions, wow. They are amazing, still waiting to see if they change with burn in like my old klipsch ones. More than 1 pair of ear tips fit me, which was nice, i went with the smallest ones since they isolated best...

After doing more research i think i am probably going to go with the yamaha's. They tend to get better reviews than the jabra's , and a lot of reviewers seem to say the jabra's can sound muddy and the bass can drown out the rest of the track. Since my phones dsp manager has a good eq built in i...

I can't actually say since i no longer own a pair of IEM's. Its been that way for about 1 month and a half now and i am really missing music while doing work etc.   But i am assuming my ear canals are quite small. The klipsch headphones have a very small sound hole (same as paperclip diameter)...

Thank you for the link to the review, found it quite helpful. But the reviewer mentioned that the headphones were very fun and had a lot of bass and sparkle. So i think they may be a bit "too" eq'ed for me and although it wasn't mentioned i am assuming that could lead to them being a bit...
