I bought a pair of Monster Copper Pro IEM to try out with my iPhone, iPad.  First impression was too bassy, I mean too much!  I tried with different tips now they sound pretty decent.  Aside from the Monster, what else should I consider?  I was wondering about the Sennheiser IE8 but I can't find...

Hi, I recently got a Cary Xciter amp for my HD-800 phones, few days ago it had developed some static noise in the right channel, follow by a loud pop then the right channel cuts out completely. I thought it was the tubes so I replaced them with another spare I have, same thing and now the...

Would like to know how will this Cary Xciter used as headphone amp compared to others such as from WooAudio or others? I'm interested in getting this as it can drive my speakers on the desk as well. Is the DAC from Cary good as well? Thinking if it's an improvement over my Asus Xonar Essence...

Just wondering if this Xonar sound card is decent as headphone amp for computer use? I have a pair of Sehenniser 650 so I'm hoping the card is enough to drive the 650's. I currently use Prelude sound card. Thanks.

I recently got an integrated tube amp from Grant Fidelity which has a headphone out. Tried my Senn 650 with it, there's so much more bass and it sounds great. The amp sounds nice with my Totem Mani-2 speakers too. My speakers are told to be very hard to drive - 85db, but the amp seems to be...

I was wondering if anyone has experienced with Grant Fidelity brand in particular this tube integrated with headphone out: A-534 Pure Class A SET Integrated Tube Amp (300B) | Grant Fidelity Tube Amplifiers I was told the headphone jack is tapped off of the 300B tubes, I'm new to tube gears...

I recently upgraded my sound card from M-Audio DIO to Prelude, but I'm not sure if I did the right thing. I still have 2 sound cards in the computer and I prefer the sound of my M-Audio. The output is fed to CI-Audio headphone amp and I have a pair of Sennheiser 650. I found the M-Audio more...

Hi, I recently purchased a CI VHP-2 headphone amp along with the power supply for it, couldn't be happier. I upgraded my sound card to Prelude 7.1 and I A/B between directly from the sound card vs. headphone amp. With headphone amp, it sounds so much smoother. I have a set of Sennheiser...

I'm wondering for headphone listening, which sound card is better among these: AuzenTech Prelude RME 96/8 PAD M-Audio DAO 24/96 I'll only be interested in music listening so no games. Thanks for your inputs.

I just got myself a pair of HD 650's, been using a set of 590's. Currently I'm driving the 650's with Creative X-Fi Platinum with that big breakout console box. Sound is not too bad right out. I don't have my Rega Ear amp at this point, so I can't confirm how much the 650's sound with external...

I just got myself a new pair of Sennheiser 650's, I also have a pair of 590's which so far I'm liking the 650's more every minute. At the moment, I have the 650's connected to my SBLive X-Fi Platinum in which I turned all the enhancements off. It's the same way I listened to the 590's before...
