Just wondering what brands you guys like the most. It could be for both sound, technical, esthetical or any other reason that you like a particular brand. Doesn't have to be ranked, if you don't want to, random order is fine as well :) More than 5 is also allowed. For me, it's the following...

I'm going to to some testing, and I need some good tracks for hearing how bass performance is. So, any recommendations on tracks that are good at making "flaws"/poor bass performance easily detectable? I don't necessarily think the tracks need a lot of bass, more a sound that makes it easy to...

I have the option to compare DACs under pretty good conditions, as I'm able to switch between then instantaneously without interrupting the music. Volume matched, I'm having a very hard time hearing any difference at all between the internal DAC in the Fiio R7 (ES9068AS) and my SMSL DO100...

So I was set on getting a R2R DAC for my HiFiMAN HE1000 Stealth and Violectric V200, as I though the combination was a bit on the bright side. The idea was that the DAC would tilt the sound signature a bit towards a warmer side. But then I got the Tor Audio tube amp, and it has become my main...

While we have algorithm's to recommend us new songs on the streaming services, I thought it could be a great addition to help each other find more music of the kind we like. It kinda works both ways, as you might not know the song that is being referenced, so you get to listen to new music...

I'm really curious to how high-end IEM's are being used. I know they are portable devices, but if I paid more than $1000US for a set, I think I would be very cautions with taking them outside. I would most likely end up using them mostly inside at a desktop setup. So I'm interested in hearing...

Was mentioned a bit back that we might need this thread on the forum. Let's find out :) I'll start with this picture of my current chair that has served be well over the past couple of years. Got it for my speaker setup, and therefore I wanted something that did not go up behind my head. Found...

Or do I need to dig deeper into my pockets if I want ro give this technology a try?

As I'm getting more and more IEM's, storage is starting to become an issue. And while I could put them into small boxes and stuff, I would rather have them at arm's reach, as I regularly change what I'm listening through. So is there a cleaver way to hang IEM's on the wall? Is using a single...

So I love the Moondrop Chu I, and for the price I think its amazing. Pretty crazy how nice a 20$ IEM is :) The Chu has also made me want to look more into IEM'S, but I'm not sure where to go from here. Best case scenario is a Chu with better technicalities and slightly more bass, priced below...

Hi all :) Is this amplifier still relevant, or ha the development of amplifiers come so far, that even a lot cheaper products will outperform this old German amp? It is available locally for around 550$, and I'm expecting to run a set of HiFiMAN HE 1000's on it. Should I give it a listen, or...

Hi all :) First post here, I'm super excited to learn more about headphones and IEM's. I'm a long time "Audiophile" but have almost exclusively used speakers in the past. But now that I have a newborn in the house, I can't fire up my speakers as I'm used to, and therefore I started looking more...
