Hello everyone, I'm a little stuck between these two cans. I'm looking for a closed back, detachable cable thats got a "fun sound" (not neutral/flat). Both the Sony and Fostex mentioned in the title are 899.99$ CND (on amazon.ca). I'd like to hear your opinions on which would be a better buy and...

Hello everyone, I've never bought or owned an audio technica can. And decided i should get a basic one for work (plug directly into 3.5mm aux port on case). I'm having a little bit of a hard time deciding between the 40x and 50x. Everyone says that the 50x's are garbage and that i should get...

Hey everyone, Just out of curiosity, would it be possible to have a headphone that contains an electrostatic, planar and dynamic driver in the same earcups. Obviously they would be positioned so that the planar driver would handle lows and some low-mids, the dynamic driver would handle mids to...

Hey guys, as the title says, im curious if anyone has made custom cups for their Audeze LCD2 closed / XC headphones. Basically what im thinking of doing/trying if i buy the Audeze LCD2 Closed would be to copy Mrspeakers and make carbon fiber cups. Even if you havent used carbon fiber before...

So as the title has mentioned, i'm trying to decide on my next pair of cans. as it stands, i'll be mostly using these for movies, tv shows, gaming, youtube and on some occasion music. (I use my DT1990 pros for more music focused listening/enjoying). My two choices that i've broken down to are...

Im looking for a great headphone under 1k thats closed back. Ill be mostly using this for when i can't use my open back dt1990. Im not looking for a flat headphone as the beyers do a fantastic job of that, im looking for something a bit more sounded, playful and richer sounding. These cans will...

Hello everyone, I'd like to say that ive listened to a varied amount of headphones and have an idea of what kind of sound I enjoy. My daily drivers are my DT1990 Pros at home, when im on the go I use my more outdoor friendly B&O H6(Gen2) with my dap. Its now come time to buy another pair of...

Hey guys, I have some questions. hopefully owners of these headphones or possibly a sales rep or rep from the actual company for blue may answer these questions. 1) Are the earpads replaceable/removable ? if something happens can i pop the ear pads off without tools/glue and replace them with a...

what do you guys think of this video? I personally think speakers can achieve a louder sound than a car. its pretty no brainer lol.

Hello Fellow Head-Fi'ers :) I'll make this short and sweet. Recently(today) I attended the Salon Audio Festival here in Montreal Canada. There were many booths and rooms for many brands. I enjoyed the speakers and amps/dacs/turntables. My main focus however was the headphone sections and...

Hello everyone, It's time for me to choose a DAP. I've come to a choice between either the Astell & Kern SR15 A&norma or the Sony WM1A. I'm aware of both of their prices, i'm able to afford the SR15 right now, however, should i wait and save up more and buy the Sony? what are your opinions. I...

Hello everyone, as the title has stated I'm having trouble determining which premium headphone with blue tooth i would like to invest into. my choices are the Beoplay H9i and the Sony 1000XM3. I've heard the Sonys are a very popular headphone, but ANC isn't the highest priority for me, its more...

Hello everyone, So here is my situation, i had a FiiO X5 gen 3 but sold it due to buggy software and boring sound. now i have around 1,000$ CND to invest in a new DAP. my collection is in FLAC format and varies from 16bit to 24bit. I have some 32 and DSD files, but 80% of my collection is 16 or...

Hello, I'm hoping to get started making my own 3.5mm audio cables (and some 6.4mm to 3.5mm for some headphones). I know most people use soldering for connecting the plug to the cables, but i was wondering, would conductive wire glue be a less dangerous option? Reasons i'm asking is because, it...

Anyone know if there is one, or planning on one being established?
