Crap :|

I recently got these gem and they sound exceptional for a sub 20 bucks headphone. But that big sub bass roll off is kinda ruining the listening rejoicement for me on many tracks. Even with E10K's bass boost on, they lacks the mid bass punch not to mention the sub bass. I'm aware people do...

So, in that regard, wouldn't the stock pads should sound better than aftermarket thicker angled pads? :P After the pads swap, my hunch is telling me that CAL! goes unnatural with angled pads. So, I was kinda thinking getting of a Brainwavz Memory foam pads which is still thicker than stock but...

Pairing it with a warm source definitely brings out more fun and enjoyable sound over stock. With E10K's bass boost on, it serves good amount of extension in sub-bass having more body and texture with punchier mid-bass that overall makes the whole signature ever so alluring to me. The clarity...

I've replaced the original pads with Brainwavz Angled pleather and it kinda let me down. Both lows and soundstage get improved but CAL! seems to loose its composure on both at the same time. With the original pads, bass body on them wasn't particularly tight in first place but it feels like it...

Anybody recables SHE3850 or SHE3950? My one's cable's plastic coating fell off and it gets this ugly look on them. Thus wondering if some one has any recable experience with these. Might pull off a recable on them if I can figure out how to open the shell without damaging.

Does anyone has any clue about the power output (mW) Dacport Slim can serve at ~32ohm??

Thank you. But I'm primarily interested to know how much of power in mW/W I need to provide at ~32ohm for those planners to bloom in full.

For a given amp, anybody know the exact power output(in watt) it needs to deliver at ~32ohm which would arguably consider as the 'sweet spot' for 400i?

Bump! Eagerly looking for to have some other opinion on this.

Thanks. I'll try to do those. Not sure if it'd be of any help but the cable routing was actually same before and after upgrading the cable. Notebook's wifi is always turned off.   Any other suggestion meanwhile? 

I never saw the noise begin with phone operations you mentioned.   Btw, the dac/amp usually sits closely(less than a foot) behind either a monitor or notebook.  

Occasionally. Perhaps I can answer it better if you could tell me the minimal distance between them that could possibly initiate an interference?

Although, recorded and uploaded to youtube by someone I don't know but my ELE D02 dac/combo makes this type of very loud sound even when no media plays in computer. The noise doesn't go on for more than 5-10 seconds(thank God!) but it generates in nearly full volume regardless of OS/Player's...

Hey man, that notorious noise issue I was having months ago seems to come back again to hunt me. :( Since I changed the cable the noise almost became nonexistent. I checked on multiple computer and the noise often generates even when there is no media(song/video) playing.   I looked on...

Thanks for the link. I should've mentioned this earlier but I actually didn't get my pair with foam tips included, hence, never got to give the ttpod a spin with those tips. But a bi/triple flange tip generally should provide more heights than any single flange tip design including traditional...

None of the stock tips comes with the T1-E are able to resolve my shallow fitting issue. It slowly turns into a pleasing experience to slightly painful experience since I always tend to push the housing(which is causing some pain on ear) in to the canal once I feel it might fall off.    That...

What about Little Dot MK II? Will it bring any significant improvement over the likes of Little Dot I+?   @trivium911 @DavidA and @peter123 could you guys share your insights if you happen to know anything about it? Thank you!

Have anyone tried it with Schiit Fulla 2?

Noob alert.   DS?

E10k is considered as more neutral and refined sounding than the originals. Plus, the bass boost isn't as drastic as original E10 is what I see people keep saying. I can't personally verify that since I never got to hear a E10 but I own a E10k and I'm quite happy with the way it represents...

Can somebody shed some light on how A3 would stack up against Fiio E12K Mont Blanc or E10k? Of course, E12k has more options packed with it and not to mention, capable of providing freakishly amount of MW. I'm, however, more interested to see the comparison in bass boost and soundstage as all I...

That is, frankly speaking, quite strange. Its rather common to see people finds the top end of them a tad overwhelming than their general listening preference.   In case you're after more treble rich phones, look into Beyerdynamic DT990 pro, Foxter T50RP MK III etc. They do require a hell lot...

Any recommendation at sub $200 on that to pair with HE-400i? I can see Bravo V2/Ocean and Little Dot I+ but I'm wondering if any of them will be the best under $200.

I'm trying to get a somewhat warm sound out of shp9500 than its default output. Not that it feels bright or sibliant in any way but I think an extra layer of warmth might make it sound even more pleasant. How would an amp, say, A3 or E12 with bass boost turned on help with this? Yes, shp doesn't...
