Let's say that this song would be a reference: Genre preference heavily leans into electric guitars of all kind: blues, metal, all kinds of rock, you get the picture. Trying to determine which of these two I should order, or perhaps there is something out there in this price bracket that is...

My living situation has changed recently, so I am looking for a closed back headphones that can provide isolation while I watch Netflix/YouTube (70% usage) or listen to music (30% usage) on the couch or in bed. In an effort to keep this setup "minimal", I would prefer to plug these straight into...

I'm looking to stop dumping money into headphones that cost $300-$500 and finally  get a potential end game solution in the $1000-$2000 (USD) range. Listening will always be in the living room, and I have no preference of open or closed. My setup is Laptop (FLAC, or Spotify, or Tidal) -> Chord...

  I've had DT770pro80 for close to 5 years now and I'm thinking of making the upgrade.   I was reading over the headphile order page and was a little confused about the pads and headband for the V4CS.    If I get Darths, can I opt to keep my original headband and earpads instead of...

I currently own two pairs of Grado headphones -- Alessandro MS1 (purchased in 2007) and Grado SR325is (purchased 3 weeks ago) -- and in both pairs, my left earcup has fallen off the little metal peg that goes into the black plastic connector on the cup housing.   Each time, this has happened...

Although I could simply buy a used MiniMax, I usually like to stick with new products. So I was thinking of picking up a Minimax kit from beezar.   I've never built a headphone amp from scratch before, but I'd like to say that I'm really adept at following instructions and working with my...

Just got a pair of SR325is for my aggressive rock preference of music.   I'm currently using a FiiO E7+E9 combo. I always hear that Grados with tubes is a great combo, so I'm looking in that direction.   I'm not quite an expert in the DAC subject area, but if the E7 isn't a terrible...

My current setup has my gaming PC as its primary source and its fans are quite noisy. I primarily use open headphones and while I can't hear the fans when a song is playing, but during the second or two gap between songs, I get an earful of whirring fans, which is pretty distracting from the...

So the other day I got a refund check in the mail from my old apartment complex for about $300 and I wasn't expecting it, so this nice surprise will go towards my next headphones. This means I can get the 325 with flats for $30ish out of my bank (considering the $300 as a bonus) But then that...

  Currently running the FiiO E7 (DAC) and E9 (amp) combo for headphones, and I am looking to upgrade the E7 DAC part.   USB connection to a PC is the only thing I need, I won't find any use for any bells or whistles like coax or optical. USB is it :)   Music is primarily rock &...

My next headphone upgrade will be the SR325is, I listen to 95% rock, metal, punk, anything with electric guitars. Big things I'm looking for are clear details and a nice, tight bass to go along with fast paced rock music.   I currently have the FiiO E7+E9 combo and I know it gets a lot of...

I live in the USA.   Currently looking really hard at the Denon D5000 and it's $499 on Amazon. After searching past posts, the D5000 has been on Amazon for $399 previously. I was wondering if there were any web sites that had a better price than the current $499 offering from Amazon...

. I have had beyer dt770 80pros for about 4 years now and I'm looking for an upgrade. Main uses are movies, games, and mainly hard rock music-wise. My amp/dac is the FiiO E7 E9 combo

Hello all, It's been about 3.5 years since I last visited Head-Fi and bought headphones (Alessandro MS-1 and beyer DT770pro) and a portable amp (iBasso T2, now broken) and today's my birthday and I feel like buying myself a little something..   My only source is a laptop, so that's why I'm...

My first pair of KSC-75 have died I think ... Every time there is a low bass note in a song, all I hear from the right side is a big fart/splat sound. Gross. Best $10 headphones ever. I think I'll buy myself another pair.

Both him and his mom are looking for some new stuff, I tried thinking of stuff to suggest, but wasn't too sure. My friend's mom is looking for a small earbud that costs no more than the ~$20 range. I was thinking Marshmallows? I suggested the KSC75, but he said his mom doesn't like the...

Right where the little metal rod connects to the plastic on top of the earcup. The little thing keeps popping out. Every time I try to grab my headphones off of my little stand, the cup is off. Any way to fix this? Would a drop of super glue help?

I've been wanting to order these for a while and I might finally get around to ordering them today. but my only amp is a small iBasso T2. Would that be decent enough to provide enough juice to these headphones? Of course I'm not expecting the uber top sound quality from an expensive desktop...

Upgrade-itus has hit me again and I've been really looking into the DT770s as my next pair of headphones. I like the closed design and price of these and I'm a bit of a basshead, so naturally all of my searches brought up the DT770s. But recently I have noticed a lot of deviating impressions...

I'm new into the world of IEMS ... I just got a pair of super.fi 3 studio as my "walk to class" listening solution. I've been switching out and testing the included tips and I've found the small tips and the double flange are best for me. But how much sound should be getting isolated when...

I had very high hopes for this game and was ecstatic when I heard there was a demo this morning. So I did the download and sat down for a great experience! The level of polish put into this game is unbelievable! Everything just FEELS right. It was a weird feeling, even though when I just started...

I'm leaving this upcoming Wednesday and I'm having some mixed emotions. On one hand, I'm sure freshman year and my college years in general will be some of the best years of my life, but I'm going to miss everything and everyone here at home. And hopefully engineering doesn't kill me I...

My girlfriend absolutely hates my headphones. She thinks that anything besides the stock headphones/buds that come with a DAP is overkill and she absolutely refuses to listen to anything different. She saw my new KSC75s in my room today and got mad that I "got another pair of stupid headphones"...

After looking for a <$100 USB DAC for my laptop, this seems like a good deal to suit my needs. But I can't find anything about it working with Vista. I want to make sure before I order one. edit: I've found M audio Transit for only 72 off of Amazon. Will that be a decent DAC to replace...
