thanks for the thought but yea the current conversion rate for CAD is kinda wack. like the EM5 is 340$ CAD right now as well.

im sure, tho the newbsound seems like a pretty safe choice in my price range based off the 20 or so pages of this thread I've read (4000 pages is daunting). the blur and em5 also look good but they are a little pricy for me to go straight too given my lack of experience in this section of head-fi.

cool thanks for the recommendations! think ill pick up a pair of those Newbsounds and an X6 just as a backup and to give me a comparison point for 4he newbsound.

is there a bud u guys would recommend for about 150$ CAD? I'm not super versed in the earbuds sphere but I've had a Kaiser 10 iem for a couple years now that i love the sound of but I cannot stand the fit so I almost never use them. No matter what tips I use from foams to spin fits it just...

Hello so I'm trying to use a universal version of the kaiser 10 however i cant get any tip to fit in my ear properly. currently i'm using a small ortofon tip in my left ear and it creates a seal great bass response and no pain perfect really. However for my right ear i can not replicate this no...

Username: Heat1   I Would love to see more floor standing speakers. Thanks

Wow thanks man! I didn't even know about garage 1217 before but the Polaris looks like something that would definitely suit my needs. plus its so cheap!!     Ok man amp looks awesome, look forward to your impressions!

Hello so I just picked up a new pair sen 650's finally and currently only have a fiio x5 to power it as an amp. so I was wondering if you guys could knew if a 600$ solid state amp (want to avoid the endless cycle of tube amps) would make an appreciable difference and if so, which ones?

Really. Well ill bring a 2.5 on the 21st and if u could tell me if you have anything that shares the signature after trying them out that would be much appreciated!! :)

ok cool. Really im just looking for something that has a similar sound sig to the Aurisonics Asg-2 if you have heard that. other than that though anything is fine as long as it sounds decent and does not require a deep insertion like the etymotics.

Sweet 21st works for me. tho I only have a sen 598, beyer dt770 250ohm, and fiio x5. I coud borrow my cousin's asg 2.5 for the day though because i gave it to her for free.   Also just wondering but do any of u guys have a decent IEM for 200$ u don't want anymore? my apple buds bass driver...

I just love my family. So when I saw my cousin and she told me she loved music I just had to give her my Asg so she could hear it just a little bit better you know? As for myself rent and college don't leave much room for headphones as much as I may wish otherwise. Though what I can save I do...

Man I miss my Asg 2.5 :( I thought I would be fine just giving them away to my cousin but everyday that passes my enjoyment of music just gets less and less. Apple earbuds just aren't in the same league I guess :( 

ok so after getting an x5 and some comply tips these iems really sing. I have an issue tho and was wondering if anyone had an idea. So um the bore for the tip on the left earpiece comes off because its not secure. It does not affect sound quality or anything its just really annoying when trying...

Man I would love to come to this after all You guys have some really amazing end game setups. However im relatively new to head-fi so I only have a low-fi setup with an x5 and an aurisonics asg2 with 2.5 drivers. If that's enough though this meet sounds awesome and any weekend in April is fine...

Ok so I finally got my Asg-2 back today after sending them in to Aurisonics to switch the drivers to the 2.5 ones and I just wanted to ask a question. So because of the different drivers my htc can no longer properly drive them so I was wondering what the best dap would be to pair with the asg...

Hello guys, im kinda new to audio so idk much but are these supposed to sound so bad and uninvolving. I've had them for about a month and they have over 300 hours of burn in but I haven't noticed any difference since i bought them. They just sound so shrill and because of the harshness anything...

Thanks alot for the thoughts i greatly appreciate it, although in the end after demoing all the options (thank god for headfoneshop) i ended picking a pair of senheiser HD 598's for 100$ and cause of the rather lackluster low end i managed to get a near mint condition used DT770 for 50$ for if I...

so if the MK II is good what do u think about the AKG K272HD? i can get it for around 120$ same for the Beyerdynamic DT770 Premium 250ohm. also im going to demo the grado 80e today and i live in Canada so the sen 558 is a little too expensive where i live.

OK so currently i am portable headphone user that has only used IEM's. I mostly listen to my Aurisonics ASG 2 but i also listen to my weston 4, 3umx and klipsch x11i  sometimes. The prices of these range from 300$ to 500$ when i bought them so I'm wondering if a full size open back headphone for...

I am currently using an on board sound card, however i also have a fiio E-17 dac that i mostly use as an amp for my IEM's. If that's not good enough however what would be a sound card you would recommend. Thanks for reading.

Hello, I just joined the fourms after a couple months lurking in a attempt to try and get some advice regarding the purchase of my first over the ears headphones. I currently do most of my listening through my IEM's  which include an Aurisonics ASG-2, Weston 3umx, and a sony xba4. I mostly use...
