I have a pair of HE-500's that are still going strong. The cable I'm currently using, frankly it's annoyingly stiff and I'm looking for a replacement. I had been looking to see if Q-Audio cables were still a thing (I have one on my LCD-2's) but it seems that business folded suddenly last year...

I listen to a lot of audio content when I'm at work and I've started to feel that my current setup (Audioquest DragonFly Red to Noble Audio Katanas) is letting me down and I'm putting my money on it being the DragonFly. Here's where I feel I'm being let down: Sound Stage. I've heard my Katanas...

I'm in the market for a new CIEM but I'm a little out of the loop on who's got the best offerings these days. I was hoping the good people in the Head-Fi community could recommend a CIEM to fit my needs. In general I like a more natural sounding headphone. I like good bass but only when it was...

I have a pair of Heir Audio 8.a's and recently the pins from the headphone have broken off inside. Great, right? Problem is when I went to HA's website every page gets hit with a malicious software issue. Between that and a few other factors I'm considering finding a third-party to make the...

I'm in the market for new CIEMs and was wondering what people thought of my options. Right now the possible lead contender is the JH Audio 16pro. My last CIEM was the 13pro and the Noble 4c before that. I currently own the Heir Audio 8.a and used to own the Heir Audio 4.a. In general, here were...

My office is looking at buying a in-office PA system. I got roped in because I'm probably the one who knows most about this sort of stuff (though almost nothing about this area of audio) so I was hoping you guys might know more. Basically, we do talks occasionally in the office and while before...

I'm kind of new to Android and so far the biggest pain-point has been pretty much anything to do with audio playback... I'm an iOS convert so almost all of my music is ALAC, including several albums I have that are 24/96. I tried PowerAmp (seemed to be the most recommended audio app out there)...

So I'm pretty sure my HE-500's have crapped out on me. The left side is dead and at first I thought it was the cable, but swapping that proved it wasn't... Then I thought it was the AMP/DAC, but using a different headphone proved it wasn't... Anyway, I find myself in the market for a...

I have a Heir Audio 8.A and I've been switching between a Magnus and a different custom cable for a while... Honestly I'm not a fan of either. Not because of sound but because of ergonomics. The custom cable doesn't have the memory wire, which I like, but the plugs on the CIEM stick out really...

I have a pair of HE-500's for home use and they are, to my ears, perfect. They are exactly the sound I love... But I can't take them wherever I go! As a sort of exploratory question (aren't those the most dangerous, financially?) I was wondering what CIEM comes closest to the HE-500 in terms of...

I have a pair of Heir Audio 8.A's and a Hifiman HE-500. In a perfect world I would love to be able to use both of these with the same amp. I know, I'm crazy. So far the best option I can find is the Woo Audio WA-7 but I was hoping to avoid tubes this go around if at all possible. Budget is...

I'm considering getting a pair of headphones to leave at the office. I keep forgetting my normal IEMs and the result is a day like today: No music. My budget is less than $350 for these, since they won't be my main headphones. I currently have an HE-500 (sits at home) and my Heir Audio 8.A's. I...

Title says it all. I have a server set up in a corner and I would love to set it up to receive audio from my iMac and my iPhone. Is this possible? I did a bit of research but aside from something called SharePort (which I know little about) I can't find a good answer to my question.

I want to get my girlfriend a nice pair of headphones for Christmas. However, unlike me, she's not an audiophile. She does encourage me, though. Which is awesome, haha!   So what I'm looking for is a full-sized, closed-backed headphone that sounds good directly out of a laptop or iPhone...

My current setup is a set of Denon AH-D2000's, some Heir Audio 4.A's and a Leckerton UHA-6S MKII. Listening is done through my iMac with mostly lossless audio or 256+ AACs. My music tastes tend to the rock, jazz or soundtracks, but I listen to pretty much everything to some degree.   I love...

I'm starting to buy albums and I don't want to just stack them somewhere on a shelf. I really want to put them up on my walls so I was thinking about getting a sort of grid frame. Does anyone know of any good systems that are worth looking into?   I did debate just going to the hardware...

I have a pair of Heir Audio 4.A's currently running out of my Leckerton UHA-6SII (which I love) but I want to be able to leave that at the office rather than shifting it back and forth every day.   I like the neutral sound and would like something that kept that relatively similar. However...

I recently got a set of Heir Audio 4.A's and so far I love them. However, I'm given to understand I can get better sound out of an AMP. Also, I have an issue with volume on my computer where, if I'm in Windows, the audio coming out is so loud that I have to have it near zero just to listen at a...

I have a friend who runs through headphones on a pretty regular basis. She's not an audiophile and has refused my attempts to get her to buy anything better. She has told me sub $30 but I bet I could get her to buy $50 headphones if she was convinced she wasn't going to break them every five...

I just found out today I got a job I was really hoping for. (Woot!) One of the benefits of said job is I can finally look into upgrading my audio gear. I'm going to do it slowly and by necessity first. I have a good set of cans for at home on my desktop, but my IEMs need improving. I currently...

So my Denon AH-D2000 have started acting up. Basically, there appears to be a loose wire in the headphone plug that causes audio to cut out for the right channel. The headphones are less than a year old (coming up in December) but I'm having a hell of a time finding out if I'm covered under the...

I love my Denons and but since my move they've just been sitting on my desk. Resting there. Looking sad... So I want to fix that. Give my headphones somewhere nice to live, you know?   So far I've been considering:    - Woo Audio Headphone...

I'm considering buying an AMP and DAC for my Denon AH-D2000's in the coming months and I wanted the community's opinion as to whether it's best to buy an AMP that has a built-in DAC or to buy separate units?   I'm sure budget plays a part so I'm hoping to keep it below $600 total, though I'm...

There are a couple people on these forums who are gamers so I figure at least one of them has come up against my problem: I love my headphones for gaming but the build-in microphone on my computer sucks. It picks up echo like there's no tomorrow.   So what I'd like is few recommendations as...

Hello fellow head-fiers. I brought some of these up in another thread and it was recommended I make a list here so here, as it were, is my list:   1. Use "mega-menus" instead of "tiered menus". This is probably the biggest one. Mostly, because tired menus are horrible for usability. Stray...
