I received my Qinpu Q1 amp, FiiO E5 amp and RE2 today. I'm simply amazed by all the care that was taken in the packaging. Lots of layers of foam in there! All the items are in great shape. To be perfectly honest, there is a very slight problem with the 3.5mm line-out / headphone connection being...

Long time no post, so first of all, hi... Now, let's get to the point I am currently interested in buying a cheap desktop amp, as an alternative to my pa2v2, which I really like. I am considering this particular model for quite a few reasons: -Will look great on my desk; -Sturdy...

Everytime you seem to score well in a auction, some no life scum will always outbid you in the very last minute. Well, that, or make your "deal" vanish. Almost scored a pair of K240DF, which I really wanted, along with 2 K66 for a hundred. Not that I really cared for the K66s, but the...

I saw them today at my local music store, they sell for as low as 59$ , and I am now asking myself, is this deal worth it? I heard good things here about the K81DJ, almost too much praise for my tastes, and I am worried about its construction, its comfort and that nasty double-sided cord, so I...

Anyone know about any real audio shop in Quebec city? I made a lot of research myself on that one and came to the conclusion Head-Fi is my last hope for any information on the existence of a shop that carries good, expensive audio stuff in the Quebec area. Nothing in the Yellow Pages, yeah...

I would like to buy a dedicated set of headphones for a second computer. I would like to buy something cheap, comfortable (circumaural is the only option), listenable and the UR-20 might as well be the perfect option . My other option would be going for some cheap computer speakers, and I know...

I am freed from the Head-Fi curse!

EDIT: Read post number 7 to see how I changed my mind on the PA2V2 Dear Head-Fiers, I received my brand new Pa2v2 in the mail earlier today. Impressive piece of equipment for the money I must say. Sturdy, has a good "minimalist-retro" look to it. It doesn't have any expensive look to it...

I just saw them on eBay for 60$ cdn including shipping. They would be to compliment my HD555 as funner, thumpy headphones. Mostly for electronica, and some gaming. Also, anyone bought from this sennheiser seller 8644alain before? Please don't post here only to say they sound like crap. I...

I'm about to buy some Duracell 1800 mAh NiMH batteries. Does such batteries provide the right amount of mAh for my PA2V2? Yes I know some about electrics, I know they give the same 1.2 volts. Or else, tell me what you use! Thank in advance.

Recommend me a headphone amp for my 50ohms HD555. I don't want to go over 50$ though. And I want something that I can actually plug into the wall cause I don't need anything portable and I hate buying batteries. Anything real cheap, yet surprisingly good for the money is welcomed. Thanks in...

Where do I buy headphones online in Canada? I don't like to waste my money on international shipping Any store I should know before I go on a shopping spree?

I recently tried a pair of PX100. Although they sounded nice, I was concerned about how cheap they felt. I am looking for a nice clip alternative. For looks and the super sleek pouch, I'd go with the OMX52. But which one is better? The senns are pricier, but are they better? I also can't stand...

I currently own a pair of HD555 which I use everyday and I'm just wondering if I should amplify it. I don't have audiophile needs yet, nor I truly want to upgrade to the HD595 yet as I am fully satisfied with what I currently own, but should I hook it up with an amp? Would it significantly...

I'm on a quest to find the funnest*, thumpiest, funkiest headphone there is. The only ''fun'' (as in enjoyable, not as in weird) headphone I ever owned is the senn HD477. What's THE best? Let the THUMPIN begin!

Hi! I'm new to the headphone world and I'm looking for the best small and open headphones for the audiophile on the go. I'm looking for anything outstanding for around 100$. So I want THE best thing. While surfing the web, several headphones caught my eye, but all of them are Sennheisers: the...
