The LG phones have been discontinued and I was blown away at the sound quality of these devices. I have been off the forum for a good while and there's too much to go through. What are the top phones nowadays with a headphone jack and a solid DAC? Are there any as good as the LG was?

And how the pro audio gear often beats hi-fi audio. "Get outta here, kid" many would say. So. This might be the case for a lot of other mixers, but right now I'm talking about Behringer Xenyx 502. I have an ifi iDSD Black Label and a few other amps, and I have tried a lot of headphones for a...

Hi guys I have many headphones. HD600 Fidelio x2 K702 HP150 HD380 I just ordered HF2010 by ISK and I must say I'm in love with the sound and clarity of these headphones, even more so than the above higher models. It is said these are similar to DT800, can anyone share a brief comparison? If...

Introduction This post is a not-so-brief story or a ramble about my journey in the headphone world, and a comparison of everything I tried so far. I've been lingering on the forum for opinions and recommendations and it's time to bring something back to the community. This being an overall...

Hi guys,   I'm interested if anyone tried both headphones and can provide a brief comparison based on experiences. Is Vento in any way an upgrade to the previous HP100/HP150 models?   Portability is not a big problem for me, I'd carry my HP150 anywhere although it seems rather too bassy for...

Hi all,   So I've got Soundmagic E80 for about 6 months and I'm looking for a sidegrade.   I'm still blown away by their sound, but I'm looking for something else, just to spice things up!   Any ideas?   I will be purchasing most likely these in the next 18 months:   SHURE SE846-CL...

Hi all,   Just curious, anyone else wearing their open back cans outside? I'm pretty much a tool and don't care - I even wear my HD 600 with a shorter cable straight out of E12. :) And seeing how I use headphones I'm kind of regretting buying the X2 as they're simply too huge for portable...

Hi all,   This thread is intended for posting any test requests, as gear opinion is not only formed with gear quality, synergy and the listener, but music genres and mixes, and I do know quite a few people would love to know how "that band" sounds on particular headphones, DAP-s and so on.  ...

Hey guys, It's been a while since I had the X5 and i find it very transparent and clean, however the amp section always sounded a bit cod, dull, too sharp and not very alive. I imagined maybe I will get E12 some day and in the meantime I got a E06 amp for my iPod and out of fun I tested it on...

Hi guys,   I'm just interested on whether you think it'd be smart move to buy another pair of HD600. Had them for a few weeks now and absolutely love them. They're flimsy only for a few genres and all around I think these are just keepers.   Any idea if headphones such as these will be...

Hi guys,   What are your guesses on the top recommended high-end DAPs in the terms of soundstage and fidelity? I see common related are Fiio X5 and Luxury & Precision L5Pro, what are some other recommendation?   Price is not relevant.   Update with current popular mentions:  ...

Hi all,   I'm planning on buying E50s next month and I'm curious in advance if their microphone quality is any good. I'm looking to use it in office environment as well since our default headsets are pretty poor.   In case they aren't very good I'm probably gonna have to buy another headset...

Hi all,   I feel as if my iPod 5 / HD 598 sounds a bit "bloated", too much "magic" is added to the sound (especially with rich music like symphonic metal). Both headphones and the Wolfson chip are mentioned to make the color music to sound fuller, while iPod classic 6 was mentioned a lot as...

I have a huge interest in getting headphones that actually match my preference as I've been "burned" already two times by simply buying the "wrong" headphones for my taste.   What is my taste? I'm looking for epic soundstage with somewhat neutral sound, but just a slight boost in bass to...

Hi guys, I'm new to the forums, 10 years musician looking to try myself into audio production. I bought myself 2 other guitars, a Mac and now it's time to try buy some audio gear.   I'm going to buy my very first sound card, with an aim towards sound quality. I'm looking for both good 2+...
