Hi Team,   Looking to sell my Meridian Audio Explorer 2 DAC for $300 OBO with about 12 month medium use. Few light scratches but otherwise in great condition.   Also looking to sell my Fidelio X2s with 6 month use. In great condition and sound superb! $450 OBO.   I have the cases and all...

Definitely interested!

Yes but regardless of what type of headphone I have I will be removing them. I tend not to listen to music at work if I know I am going to be talked to a lot. My understanding is that CIEMs are easily removable once you get the hang of it?  

Hi team!!   I am making the transition to CIEMs mainly because my listening environment 90% requires me to be portable and around people. Looking for some ideas on what brands and models to start looking into :)   Location - New Zealand (Going to be in Europe for 2 months later this year)...

Awesome to find this NZ thread :D I would be super keen for a meet!   While I am here, anyone had any experience with custom iems in NZ??

Hi All!   I recently upgrade my set up to include an explorer 2 and the Fidelio x2s. While this is great at home, open headphones are not great on the move. Looking for suggestions for IEMs to pair with my Explorer 2 while I am at work or on the move.   Currently the only IEMs I have looked...

Hi all,   I am looking to purchase as set of HE400i headphone BUT I live in NZ of which no one currently sells the new line up.   Has anyone in NZ purchased either the 400i or 560 in NZ and where did you get them from!!   I thought about Head Direct but then there is the whole 15% GST...

Thanks everyone for your thoughts! I think I would definitely go with the X2's IF in the mean time had not decided to by some HE400i's :D A bit more coin but I think they shall be well worth it!!

I am curious... I currently have been rocking M100s since my first investment into headfi this time last year. I have been looking to take another step up in the world of headphones before hitting summit fi. Will the X2s be a step up from my M100s. I have read a few comments saying that the X2s...

Currently I have a Fiio E12K which I use alot as I am fairly portable with my headphone. Future additions which include a desktop amp and dac, possibly a schiit combo of some sort. Sources are PC and iPhone 4s. No DAC as of yet as I'm mostly on the iPhone which has a reasonable internal DAC :D...

As the title eludes to, I need help deciding which headphone to choose. I listen to everything, EDM does feature often. I also game and what movies with headphones so soundstage is a factor. My current headphones are M100s which I enjoy but lack in soundstage and comfort. Currently I am leaning...

Hi all,   I have been recommended the HD650 as my next step in headphones on my way to the LCD 2.2. From my understanding the HD650 headphones are a rather old model so I a m looking for something released in the last few years :D Anyone have any suggestions? I was looking into the DT880s.

  So you are saying that the HD650 would be a good intro into the LCD 2?   Thanks for you input! If buy the HD650 I can also buy an amp :D Any recommendations on a amp that is both suitable for the HD650s and the LCD 2s in future. I rather like the Little Dot line of amps and I have heard...

I have thought about that same concept. I thought maybe it was a bit much a jump all at once. Thing is I really want a pair of planar headphones and the only options I have are Audeze or HifiMAN. My understanding is HiFiMAN headphones are rather lackluster unless driven well.   Coming back to...

Though I would invade this thread for an opinion. I am think of upgrading from my M100s (with XL pads) to a set of headphones. Currently, I only amp my headphones via Fiio E12 but my logic is that I would rather buy higher end headphones and build the DAC and amp behind them! Would the LCD 2.2...

Found a pair of HE-500s for $700 NZD!! Could be a plan!!

Yeah I would try grab a pair from Amazon US. Anyone know the difference between the HE 400, HE 400i and the HE500? Do they leak a lot of sound on lower volumes? Would you prefer them over the DT880s?

Which HiFiman headphones are you suggesting? I have heard good things in general about HiFiman as a brand. The W1000x seem rather hard to find.

Found a pair of DT880 250 ohm models on special. Could be an idea! Would they be better than the M100s I have and could I drive them using the Fiio E18? I think the E18 can drive anything up too 300 ohms?

Can a mod delete this please! I made a new thread in the recommendations sections!!

Hi All!!   As the title says, I am looking for a new set of headphones! Upgrading from my M100s.   Budget is around 500 USD (I live in NZ) but if you think the extra expense if justified Id consider up to about 700 USD. I listen to music via my Fiio E18 from sources: iPhone 4S and PC. I...

Hi Head-fiers!   it has been a year since I brought my V-Moda M-100s which I am absolutely loving!! I have read in numerous posts that they can be pushed a little harder when using an amp and so I am investigating the cost! So once again I have come back to the forum to get some advice!   I...

M100's purchased!! Place I buy from has a pretty good return policy so I am safe there! Will tell you how they go :D Thanks for the help guys!!!
