TLDR: is there a tablet known to have a good dac....similar to the way the LG V40/50/60 is known for it's quad dac setup? Apple products need not apply. My main audio chain is: Ifi Zen Can 6xx, Bellari EQ570 (for those unfamiliar it's a 4 band, analogue eq.) As a source I use an LG V50 or a...

My all time favorite headphones for movies is the Fidelio X2. The combination of a wide soundstage and deep bass creates a sound that is more 'cinematic' than other headphones. The mids are present but not too forward and the treble is detailed enough ...it just makes movies sound right...

"Welcome to Headfi, sorry for your wallet." That's a common greeting around here,I suppose it's clever and not totally inaccurate...but it doesn't have to be that way. I have gotten a lot of great advice from headfi, I've been pointed in the right direction more often than not. Somehow I have...

The title almost says it all....I have some ideas for headphones I'd like to see Massdrop produce...and it occurred to me some of y'all might have your own ideas. I like modding my headphones and I have a couple that I think would make a really great 'Massdrop Exclusive'. My first idea is for...

Title says it all...what should I offer for a Grado SR325? What are they worth?

I bought some Grado SR60i off Amazon for the stellar price of $35....the catch was a wait time that was a few months. I figured it would be a cheap way to dip my toes into Grados. Then by coincidence I did some contract work for a guy that has an online high end audio shop. (Imagine my surprise...

Short version: I have a chance to get a deal on some Grados. Within the Prestige line, which one should I get to compliment my Modhouse Argons? The Argon has a warm/dark sound with epic bass and the most immense soundstage you can get from a closed headphone. I want an open, more detailed...

I think I need to stop getting headphones for the moment and get an amp. For the most part I like the headphones I have, I have some mods in mind, a few projects...I have plenty of headphones to occupy me. I need a better amp than my little Fiio A3. All of my headphones are low impedance (I...

I bought these fantastic vintage Pioneers at the swap meet for $10.00. They sound great...but also pretty shot-out. Good sound mired by crackling ... from? The drivers, the old wiring? I don't know for sure The drivers are 45mm capsule type, mylar. The mylar is pretty tacky/covered in lint and...

I never really saw the point of headphones dedicated to movies specifically since I have a decent set of speakers and an amp for my tv....until I got the SHP9500s. I have been really surprised to find I not only enjoy most movies just as much on headphones, but some movies are actually enhanced...

I swapped out the stock pads on my Philips 9500s for pleathers from the NVX SPT100. They are a big improvement over the stock pads but I still wanted them to be a little firmer and a bit more distance inside the pads between my ears and the drivers. I have done this mod on various headphones...

The announcement of another HD6XX drop made me take stock of my headphones and think about the purchases I've made since I missed out on the first drop. I did a little quick math and realized I had spent almost exactly what the current drop is going for. After 6 months of various sales, impulse...

I have closed cans that I like, Sony MDR 750s and Monoprice 8323s....There are lots of things I like about both headphones. I wish the Sonys had a little more bass, but I LOVE the clarity and detail. The 8323s are just fun, especially considering I paid about $12.00 after a promo code.  The...
