    IEM with good isolation

    Wireless not mandatory at all....might be even better wired when flying I've found the RHA to isolate pretty well from the ambient noise in a plane even though they are not ANC. So anything at least similar would be ideal

    IEM with good isolation

    Hello I used to have a RHA MA750....loved it. Then it went wrong, and RHA sent me a replacement (refurb, but free of charge) 1) I liked how it sounded (music and movies) 2) I liked its ability to isolate from ambient noise (airplane) What would be an equivalent in the $50 max range? Thanks

    Hello One is $190, and the other one is $100 Is the sound quality of the Zen DAC v2 worth the $90 difference? I don't have a headphone yet (other than my "old" RHA MA750i) Thanks

    Can you suggest a first DAC/headphone amp?

    Would you say the Khadas Tone 2 Pro is much better than the Zen DAC V2 (and is worth the $60 difference)? What is that headphone we see on the picture? I recognize the Focal - JMLab logo.....but what model is it?

    Philips SHP9500 or HIFIMAN HE400SE...

    The Philips is $75 and the HIFIMAN is $100 Which one would be best to start listening music in a more "audiophile" way? I mainly listen female vocals..... OR is there another much better choice for not much more $$ I'm not decided yet and what amp/dac to use though..... Thanks

    RHA MA750i

    Headset recommendations

    The SHP9500 is $80 on Amazon And the Fidelio is $130.........Is it worth the $50 difference? Or...........should I think like "Hey, let's start with the 9500, and if I like the hobby, I will invest later in something even better than the Fidelio X2HR"?

    Would the Fidelio XH2R be better for slightly more money?

    Headset recommendations

    So assuming I NEED to stay around $100 ($150 max if it really brings a huge plus)......what would be a good headphone to enjoy songs with female vocals? What about the Grado SR80e? Fidelio XH2R? AKG K240 MkII? etc......

    Headset recommendations

    Are you saying there is nothing interesting in the $100 (maybe $150) price range for headset (over-ear or IEM)?

    Headset recommendations

    Hello Assuming I pull the trigger on a DAC/Amp stack such as Topping L30/E30, what would be your recommendation for a headset in the $100 range? I like music with female voices such as Lisa Gerrard, Cocteau Twins/This mortal coil (Elizabeth Fraser), etc... Thanks
  19. FrenchGuy

    DAC/Amp recommendations

    Don't you mean E30/L30? The A30 is pretty old, and the L30 is newer and apparently much better....

    DAC/Amp recommendations

    Yeah, but the Asgard 3 is twice the price.....I want to make sure I will have time for this "hobby" before investing too much

    DAC/Amp recommendations

    Hello What would be a good DAC/Amp (combo or stack) to "start" in the hobby? I would like to listen to music in a more attentive way, with better equipment I know there is Schiit (Modi 3 / Magni 3+ or Heresy), Topping (I thought a while back about the D30/A30. but there must be more recent...

    How is the noise isolation on the Mpow T5? Thanks

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Within approximately the same price range, which one would be the best pick to mainly watch movies in a plane from an android tablet; https://www.amazon.com/LASUNEY-Bluetooth-Cancelling-Waterproof-Headphones/dp/B07WVTJJ6B https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RDLBHGC?ref_=pe_623860_70668520_dpLink...
