Hi all, So, I'm at a bit of a loss here. Unlike some head-fi users, I don't have tons and tons of money, and I don't want to keep multiple pairs of headphones. I might end up with one open pair and one closed pair, but that's about it. I recently tried a pair of PSB M4U2, and liked them a lot...

Hi again,   Don't worry. This thread won't be nearly as big and broad and complex as my last couple have been. Title says it all, really. I find I really like my x2, with a couple of exceptions, and if I can get similar sound through closed cans I'd like to try, at least. If I was staying...

Some of you have no doubt seen my previous posts where I ask for headphone/amp/dac advice within a given budget. Those same people might note that I've been kinda all across the board and have an eye for detail. This is a bit more of the same, but it's more streamlined and a bit more focused...

Hello, yet again, I just got a pair of Soundmagic HP200 yesterday. This makes four audiophile-grade headphones I've tried now, and I'm starting to worry. Below, I'll summarize each pair I've owned and why I did or did not like them DT880 Pros: very clear, big soundstage, permeable (sound gets...

Hi again,   So I just want to get one thing right up front. There is a ton of info out here about combos, headphones, distortion, complex electronic stuff and the like, and someone like me, who's not used to it, can get overwhelmed a little. I'm learning, but it's going to take a bit...

Hi all, So, while bored this morning I decided to plug my Kingston HyperX Cloud 2 into my E10K. Gamer headset (rebranded Takstar or some such) at the hundred-dollar price point, amp/dac at around the same (these are Canadian dollars, by the way). ...And I've got to say, I was pleasantly...

Hi again, all, So, the first thing I wanted to do was to thank those of you who have helped me thus far. I'm aware I've asked a bunch of newbie questions and probably could've gotten a few of the answers on my own. That said, I have a few observations, and then a couple more questions sort of...

Righto. So I've got the Sennheiser 598s now, with the x2 on the way for a bit more perspective. I like the 598s...they're more than loud enough, I can even make them distort a tiny bit at max volume, which I obviously don't want. The bass is not as bad as I thought. I do like a bit of a slam in...

As the title says. The Kingston HyperX Cloud 2 and Logitech G35 headsets are two that I have some experience with. I'm honestly curious how an audiophile would describe the sound experience on either or both of these cans. Yes, I know, they're not audiophile headphones, aren't optimized for...

Hi again, guys. So I've made my choice of headphones, the HD598s, and they're on the way. I currently have an E10k amp/dac combo, and while I know I don't need it in order to power these cans, I'm wondering if it's at all worth me getting a magni/modi combo instead. The sort of thing I can use...

Hi there. My name is Gregg, I'm 31 and totally blind. I live in Canada, and I'm kind of in a weird position. I've owned a set of Logitech G35s for about two years, and I find their sound fairly crisp, decently loud, decently bassy and quite bright. They're dying though, so last week I bought a...
