My Comets just arrived this morning; looking forward to checking these out with my DF Cobalt and Pixel 3a.

Hey all. I'm a relative IEM neophyte looking for any impressions or comparisons of the Comet vs the Fiio FH5 in a search to find the best value in IEMs under $300. I do intend to wear them while travelling and/or walking. Any and all help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Hey all. I'm looking for any impressions or comparisons of the Comet vs the Fiio FH5. Any and all help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Thank you both. Very helpful indeed.

Thanks very much. That's useful advice. How would you say the two compare/contrast sound-wise? Broad strokes are fine here. Cheers!

I appreciate your impressions, thanks. The reason I ask is that I was thinking of buying the Fiio FHV5 but then read a few folks, like BGGA, who have the No. 3 rated very highly indeed. They are less expensive that the FHV 5, but also harder to return. As such, I'm hoping someone in here could...

How does anyone think the TFZ no. 3 (and/or no. 3 Ti) compares to the Fiio FHV 5? Happy for any and all impressions. Cheers!

Sweet mod brø! And that neon pink is hot fire! You into vaporwave? Props.

Aren't the 4XX made to be driven by pretty pedestrian sources like phones, etc?

Color me interested.

I appreciate this comparison. Thank you. I've heard good things about the HD 58X lately as well.

Interesting to read the different opinions (here and elsewhere) regarding whether or not the HE 4XX has enough bass for people who listen to electronic, hip hop, or harder rock. I personally listen to all three of those, particularly electronic music and hard rock, and I still really appreciate...

Please share. I'd certainly be interested to hear what your comparative thoughts are.

Forgive my ignorance, and lack of time at the moment to read the thread in its entirety, but what's the purpose of removing the grilles?

So...at the risk of derailing this thread, what is the HD 6xx of closed back headphones? What I mean is something that encompasses all of the value points of the Senns which seem to kind of do it all. Obviously there are outliers, by the vast majority of folks here and elsewhere see the HD 6xx...

I was just checking out the O2 earlier and saw there was a short tun of a matching DAC a while back. Anyone here get one of those?

I have a Rega Brio and am teetering on swapping that out for a PS Audio Sprout so I'm not terribly likely to spend more than a couple hundred dollars to improve their headphone amp. Or the latter's DAC for that matter. That said, the Little Dots have always intrigued me.

What is the best bang-for-your-buck amp (tube or otherwise) in your, or any and everyone else's, opinion for the HD6XX?

So it's essentially like listening to normal speakers only closer to one's ear?

I have a HD6xx query that I'm certain owners, current and former, can help me with. It is about the nature of open-backed 'phones as this would be my first pair. How much bleed can I expect from these. Primarily, I'm curious about how much of the outside world filters in when wearing these, but...

Thanks for your reply, Rafaelo. Much appreciated. I think the DacMagic Plus is a pretty solid upgrade over the DacMagic USB stick. For example, I believe one of the features of the Plus is that it has two DACs in it. One for each channel.

Hi there! I'm new to Head-Fi and, in many ways, and audiophile neophyte. I've recently been looking for a good DAC to pair with an integrated amp with few to no digital inputs (like the 2017 Rega Brio or the Heed Elixir) and had been circling the drain on a Cambridge Audio DACMAGIC Plus with the...
