I didn't get to play with them enough to write up a full review. I would if I could, but a show floor isn't exactly the best setting to run through a full Playlist.

Will you be attending this year? I tried your IEMs at BSK (Bugs Sound Korea) this year, and they were the best I'd heard at the show (note 64 audio, UE, Jomo, etc. was also there). I'd like to try them again as they are still my favorite IEMs to date. I'll post my brief impressions if I remember...

Ah I've been there recently. I didn't see the cables I was looking for. Thank you for the response!

Which store in Seoul? I went to BSK this year, and I believe the cable I found was this brand, though I'm unsure where I could find one.

I'm having issues reaching this website as well, but the website I check things on (https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/qables.com) says its up. Weird I guess, but oh well.

I feel your pain on that one, but we can hope at least.

To be fair, I interpreted Jay's replies the same way. They seemed condescending and arrogant while accusing others of that behavior. I'm sure many of us struggle with setting the correct tone in our responses, but OP's messages seemed rather pointed in his attempts to discredit all conflicting...

Oof. /thread Thank.

Well since there are 3 votes for the same DAP, I'll do my best to locate one in Korea and try it out. Saying it is better than the v30/v40 interests me because I'm currently using the v30 for music on the go, which means I have less battery for other applications. If I can kill two birds with...

Not all DAC/AMPs have gain toggles, and most don't have a bass boost. Driving audio reproduction devices with greater ___ while mobile is going to be negligible. The output on DACs/AMPs are varied. You're not always going to have the unbalanced option, and this again is a marginal difference...

1. Because he just can't get over the idea that someone thinks the sole determining factor for choosing a headphone would be based off of isolation. 2. Because he is literally just replacing the name of the OP with "Bob" so it is less...offensive? Who knows, really OP once again refused to...

I see you mentioned the Micro iDSD Black Label. Have you considered other brands? The Micro is a solid option, but there are a lot of brands that cater to this price range. What connections in and out do you want/need? Do you want tubes or solid state? Do you want a new amp, DAC, or both? If...

I'd like to answer your thread title, "do beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 80 Ohm need an amp for mobile and PC use?" > Need No, you do not need one. At best it will make a 5% difference if you have the ability to hear said difference. I run my DT 770 through my LG G7 and it works as intended. I don't...

Congrats on finding the headphone for your use case. I have a question. In your title, "Why do we classify headphones/earphones by form factor?", what did you mean by we? Someone brought this up earlier and I don't recall it being addressed. (Do you mean "We" as in human beings, or "We" as in...

Maybe my other IEMs are bass heavy, because I found them too lacking in that area to be v-shaped. I could be wrong, as they're just used for commute and such personally. (Re-reading that, you said mild v-shape, which is probably accurate. I can't verify at the moment) Are you saying the build...

I like what I've read on both of your suggestions so far. Thank you for the information. Why would you choose to purchase the iBasso if you own the PD already? I wasn't* able to discern any* major differences between the two for my use case, but maybe you can point out why I'd choose one over...

What do you think of the Ultimate Ears UE 900s? I found them fairly neutral and they isolate well enough for me with the Comply tips.

I see you're looking for open headphones, and I'd like to help, but first could you please provide your budget and preferred genres of music to listen to? These two factors are what determine most of my recommendations (well...in addition to open vs closed) Uses / Reasons to get each headphone...

"Beyerdynamic 770 Pro: It's been the hallmark of recommendations here and everywhere. A bit above my price range, but I'd pay for the thing if these were it. But the dominant opinion is that the mids are recessed and the highs are a bit unpredictable, so that worries me for the type of music I'd...

So I work in an area with classified information, and this means anything with wireless capabilities (bluetooth, wifi, cellular networks, etc.) are explicitly disallowed. I am allowed to listen to music at work, but the work PC has a constant buzz through the 3.5mm onboard audio, and USB devices...

Understood. You made this thread to argue, and not to elicit responses outside of your point of view. As far as "There's no physical reason that an earbud should not be capable of delivering similar sound quality as my open-back headphones" goes, I'll leave you with this from Audio-Technica's...

You asked a question. I answered it. Are you here for answers, or to argue with people on a matter of perspective? "What an open-back headphone can do, an earbud can do. What a closed-back headphone can do, an IEM can do." Yeah, no. Find me an IEM that reproduces the same sound signature as a...

TL;DR explaination: because the vast majority of people don't care how accurate their music is. They want bass. They want aestetics. That's it.

I've seen multiple users complain about Sennheiser's compatibility with Metal. One of the first results I found was this post: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/what-makes-the-sennheiser-598s-so-bad-for-rock-metal.821049/ Multiple other users reported similar findings throughout my research on...

First off, good luck to everyone in the drawing :darthsmile: Zach, do you plan to send any demos of these units (or any others from your line-up) to the shop here in Korea? They're really out of the way, but it would be nice to be able to hear them. On a related note, do you have any plans to...
