I just figured I'd post some pictures of my pair because I'm in love with them. They were gifted to me by a member on here. These turned me into a Fostex fanboy for sure. Running them off a Schiit Hersey. I'd say to.. the average joe they'll sound amazing stock. But I'm a nutjob I did some mods...

I was also looking at the Sanskrit too! haha, appreciate the input. :)

This always happens, I procrastinate on making a post trying to figure things out myself then I finally do, and figure out a solution right afterwards. I put some butyl (basically the sticky stuff on the back of dynamat similar to blue tac) around the glue ring. Only down side is the foam will...

oops, I'm leaning towards the SMSL M100

Having an issue with the metal grille on one side (I have TH600s but same construction & more people on this thread).. It's a ringing from resonance. It took me a couple days to track down the ringing. Looks like the glue is starting to fail.. I'd be down to remove the grille and clean off all...

I bought a FiiO D3 (D03K) for $16 on amazon to transport optical through my sound card to my Schiit Heresy. Long story short, I thought it sounded worse then the cards 3.5mm into the headphone amp. I know what you're thinking, "just get a USB dac" but the reason I want to keep the sound card...

I have the TH600s. I did dynamat on the cups (because they're metal and super resonant) & used tesa tape instead of medical tape, worked wonders. Concerning the foam ring adjustment mod.. I've seen some people say there's no difference.. but I definitely notice it. It's slight. I think I like...

The topping psu puts out DC and these take AC, so no. Side note, I was getting some hiss at low volume on high gain.. I took out my multi-meter and noticed the top plate wasn't grounded from paint isolating the metals. This is my first schiit product but I did some searching and it looks like...

Interesting, I was kinda looking at those! I also saw the 58x & was wondering which one would fit my preference better. Any thoughts?

I'm looking for a recommendations for an open backed pair of over-ear headphones. Something with similar sound signature to the Koss PortaPros & or the Grado SR80s. I love both these headphones, only thing is I'm looking for improved comfort & build quality. Budget would be around $150, but I'd...

Figured the least I could do is follow up with my solution. I thought most of these usb audio adapters would yield the same results but I was so wrong. I ended up receiving one by Sabrent and the Antlion one, to see if I'd have any luck. As speculated above, the Antlion is a little quiet but...

So I'm using Fostex TH600s my gaming headphones. I decided on the ModMic 4 because the 5 is like $200 bucks. I was looking at the desktop mic route but I use mx blues and my pc has a lot of fans, but I almost wish I did because this thing has been a nightmare. I have an old X-Fi Titanium hooked...

Been on a DSBM kick lately.

  Jenny the deceased Golden/Lab, and Pepper the unknown.   I would guess she's got dachshund, maybe corgi or beagle in her. What do you guys think?

What does 'tinny' mean to you? I've seen various head-fiers describe a headphones highs as being 'tinny' but to be honest I really don't know what that means. I think of someone hitting a tin can with a stick or something haha. I know what muffled sounds like, harsh, etc... but tinny? I don't...

I think ~$150 is where the changes get minute. I think it's strange how hypocritical people can be. When my dad asks how much I spent on my earphones, he thinks I'm absolutely insane. Then he goes off and spends $500 on one gold club.

That zippo is as fake as your mother's breasts.

I have PMS.

  Quote: I had a conversation with Gary via email, and he said that the PA2v2 was designed to power 64 ohm headphones. I had some concern about whether or not the PA2v2 would be able to power my Q-40s, and he reassured me it was a good match.

Quote:   I second this, the Q40s are a great bang for your buck full-sized headphone, metal hinges, very durable. Did I mention they sound great? lol.

I love them. It's a "you're there" kind of feeling that's hard to produce with fullsized headphones, especially open ones.   Only thing I don't enjoy is that iems make noisy sources more apparent.
