    Just few short notes. Love them, using with with ifi zen dac with bass boost on for more fun, sounds nice, volume at 12~1, max(~5:30) is loudish, but not painful. I think its a great combo for the budget pads had glue problems(separated from rings) seller promised to send replacement, still...

    Focal Listen Impressions and Review

    there is metal thread here, you can check for more advice there. while these are ok for metal i find beyer 770 and 990 better, and they are cheaper, but beyers arent really portable, unless you need to use headphone cable for self defense.

    Focal Listen Impressions and Review

    had some trouble finding information on replacement pads for my listens after one pad ripped open, ordered Brainwavz oval pads(m50x and the like) they do fit, although a bit lose, first impressions - sounds more spacious, not as intimate, seems like lost a bit bass and gained highs, I wouldnt...

    might be best mobile audio, but its far from best phone, now if you added that audio to something like s8+ you could close the thread til next year      had a look at htc10 lifestyle, battery seems small and its 720p   im starting to think im just looking for reasons to get flagship, damn...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile

    both are a bit small and htc is a bit above instant buy price and carrier has a reaaaallly bad deal(680 eur) on it   axon 7 mini seems a possible choice if ill decide to compromise on screen size, though UI seems to be bad   what about cheaper end xiaomi/meizu ?

    Help for closed headphone

    depends on the size of your head and ears, large ears might rule out listens. if you plan to use them for commuting then leather pads give advantage to listens as cloth would be bad in the rain. i like listens, if you can get them from a place with good returns get em and return if you dont like

    Focal Listen Impressions and Review

    my other headphones are beyer dt990 so my expectations for comfort and build are quite high, and im quite resistant to higher end of frequency range. im running both headphones unamped, dt from mid class motherboard and listen from work pc.   Build seems really solid, people looking for solid...

    Soundmagic HP150/HP151 Impressions Thread

    how are these for metal? i plan on buying them, but just saw this review that said that they might not be a good choice for metal - said lower mids are lacking, smth that might ruin listening to stuff Amon Amarth, i dont think i saw them mentioned in metal thread as well(maybe once or twice as a...

    Closed, overear, unamped 100~150$/Eur headphones with decent to good isolation

    Looking for office cans, stuck with too many choices and not enough money to buy them all. Headphone buying guide seems dated   I have owned CAL!(returned because they were too small and flimsy and sound felt a bit too soft) Takstar Pro80 - liked the sound, but they felt rattly and...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile

    i think they are afraid of limited availability of snapdragon 835, so they will make 821 g6 now and v30 with 835, though sony got 835 so who knows

    Beyer DT990 Pro 250 ohm vs Philips Fidelio X2 for gaming

    im too poor(or have too much other stuff to spend money on) to buy amp so what im writing here is just what i gathered from forums :D   something like 99$ schiit fulla2 should be more than enough, there are other inexpensive small amps that should do the job, with a laptop/phone by itself it...

    Beyer DT990 Pro 250 ohm vs Philips Fidelio X2 for gaming

    im running DT990-250 from pc, it could use some amping, but its good enough - loud and nice, my motherboard isnt the cheap end, but it isnt expensive either, if you have some low end motherboard or a laptop then there could be problems, in terms of loudness even my  cheap lumia 625 can get loud...
