    Recommendations for in-ears. I want the best for 5-600$. Have had Ety ER-4P in the past...

    Hi. Been inactive on the head-fi forum for a couple of years now, but thought I´d check back here for suggestions on getting a serious in ear headphone (budget not over 5-600$ :) ).   A little history... I had a pair of Ety ER-4P like five years ago, but had to sell them due to low cash...

    It's now time to upgrade the K271s - recommendations needed

    I also have the AKG K271S. I love them after they have warmed properly up. I think they sound absolutely fantastic when playing bits of music that have a good defined bass-line and some ( but not much ) ambience/guitars etc. BUT, when I throw a nice portion of heavy bass, guitars, drums...

    Corda HA-1 MKII lack of bass? or is it my AKG's?

    Update: I've had the 0404 for a couple of days now and I must say the sound improved alot! not as much in dynamic, clarity as I had expected over my old sb live with serious eq-ing, but in the lower region. Using low pass filter really gives it the tight and deep bass I wanted Haven't really...

    Corda HA-1 MKII lack of bass? or is it my AKG's?

    well, do you have the volume on your computer set at max then? I don't. if I set the computer sound at max the sound get squeeky and distorted. Yes, I will invest in one of the emu's . Anyone know of a shop with great prices and good service? better support international shipping. European shop...

    Corda HA-1 MKII lack of bass? or is it my AKG's?

    I've tried EQ-ing like a maniac but it seems that that it doesn't matter how I set it up, the trembeling, but maybe abit boomy bass is missing with the corda.Of course i dont want that kind of bass, but I want to hear and feel the deep bass at least without distortion on a 400$ amp. It might...

    Corda HA-1 MKII lack of bass? or is it my AKG's?

    I find the bass and the overall sound REALLY great in music such as rap/r&b and e.g. trance that have good recording, but not good on rock/metal music. When playing r&b there is a firm and nice bass as well as crisp clear highs, but when I play original CD's with metal e.g Dream Theater (that I...

    Corda HA-1 MKII lack of bass? or is it my AKG's?

    Hi! I've just bought myself a used Meier Audio Corda HA-1 MKII (220V version - EU) for my AKG K271 Studio cans, and I must say that it kinda disappoints me in the bass region. I had a B-tech cheapo 70$ amp before and it was able to shake my AKGs around abit, but the Corda fails to deliver...

    Pictures of your Portable Rig

    the bypass-able ER-4P to 4S function was not an option when I ordered the supermicro.. so I got the 75 ohm adapter instead. I've got the best sounding OP AMP Xin could offer. Got Xinfeed Xfeed. Sounds great. I'll post further after a while... I'm working so damn much right now, so I don't have...

    No, these are the K271's. They are IMO great! maybe a little bass-shy, but with an amp and a little EQ-ing they sound beautiful. Great soundstage, and they are not bright - nicely rolled off at the highs. Highly recomended as a middle-class headphone. Sound isolation is not as good as etys, but...

    For those with SB Live!

    Hi all! I have a soundblaster live 1024 value card in my computer and have been using it as a source for a while now. One day I discovered the AudioHQ-setting "4-speakers" which dramatically improved the sound/soundstage when using headphones through a amp from the front output on my soundcard...

    For all ya bassheads out there: What song tests your headphones to the limit?

    "A Perfect Circle - Lullaby" from their latest album "Thirteenth Step" It's not really a song, but it's got some real heavy and deep bass in it. It was with this song I found out that my newly bought AKG K271's were damaged so I had to return them. (The right earcup "vibrated" during this song...
