Hello! I got a refurbished HE1000V2, but underestimated how hard they would be to drive properly, as they sound quite wispy and hollow when used with my A50S/D50S stack. Does anyone with an HE1000V2 have any recommendations for source components that the HE1000V2 sounds full with? Not really...

Hello! I want to hear what people think are good pieces of gear (IEMs and headphones alike) specifically for classical music. It's made a resurgence in my life, and I've been enjoying the instruments used in classical music a ton, and would like to know what gear people think would maximize the...

Hello UM MEST MK2 owners! I'm most likely going to be acquiring a set of Unique Melody MEST MK2s in the near future, but the seller has mentioned that he/she doesn't have any tips to go with them (why, I'm not sure, but it wasn't a deal-breaker for me personally). As I've never had experience...

Hello! I don't know much about aftermarket cables for headphones (or IEMs for that matter, but let's focus on headphones for now), I've just heard some brand names such as Periapt and Oidio. What brand do you guys think make the best aftermarket cables? Note: I'm not interested in the...

Is there a place, retailer, website, location, etc. in North America that deals with custom IEM companies from Asia (like qdc, hidition, etc.)?

What would you guys say is the most "fun"/enjoyment-focused IEM? If it depends on what sort of music you listen to/some other categorization factor, feel free to list them out/let me know! I feel like I see a TON of IEM recommendations, but many of these are focused solely on neutrality/how...

I have a pretty solid understanding about the IEM world, but am pretty clueless when it comes to headphones. As I feel like 1000 dollars is the threshold for stepping into "higher-end" IEMs/headphones, what would you guys say are the best headphones at/around that 1000 dollar price point?

Hello, I'm quite new to the scene of DAPs, but am most likely getting a pair of monarchs within the coming month. I've been interested in the idea of getting a DAP for quite a while, and this would be the primary use (I also have a Beyer DT 1770 Pro, so if the DAP can run that as well, bonus on...

Hello, Looking to put down between 700-1000 for a nice pair of IEMs that I won't replace. I am currently messing around with the Final Audio B1s, but am looking to expand my experience pool with other IEMs. From what I've seen/looked at, generally people say the Sony IER-M9 and Campfire...
