Mostly I listen straight from iPhone 5S. I also have the E07k but the X1 sounds just fine without it. When amped, I remove the EQ, and set it on +4bass and +2treb, mid gain.   I use the X1 with Spotify app. I don't know if it something from the app or the music while streaming (supposedly all...

My stock cable was measured at 1.8, I replaced it with a flat aux cable that came with a jabra bt speaker, only 0.7. Ordered one from ebay but hasn't arrive yet.   After 1 month of use I can only say great things about the X1. The pads are extremely deep and comfy and does not trap heat.   I...

Hello! this is my small and affordable collection:   Rated low to high:   XB920 JBL S700 (DSP OFF) M50 CustomOne Pro M100 + XL Pads S700 (DSP ON) Philips X1 X1 Amped (Fiio E07k)

I've never heard the 650, and I'm not really a fan of non-versatile headphones (that don't sound well without amp). The pads on my X1 are great, even better than the M100 with XL pads. I had them for couple months already and it does seem to last.   There is only one possible issue with the X1...

The M50 to me is like the starting point of any headphone collection. For many it is their "first real HP". After 3 years owning mine, it went from being considered "best ever" to just "average". So I believe the X1 could be a huge upgrade from it.   My rule is, anything below $250 should do...

Thanks all for your feedback. I'll let you know when I get the sz2k. I have a fiio E07K right now so I hope It does the job, don't feel like spending $120 more for an e12. There is 1 pair available 55x pads on eBay, just one. I might as well buy a new xx and use the sz2k pads on it, should be...

V-Moda M100. I don't use my M50 anymore since I got the M100.   Big upgrade in bass and mids. The M50 is still sharper, but nothing beats the "fun" sound signature of the M100. Also it is a bit warm compared to the M50.   I also own the JBL S700, in some cases better than the M100, but it...

Would you call the SZ2K muffled in what comes to mid/highs? I know it's a bass can but I wish to be able to listen all kinds of music with it.   How would you compare the Vmoda M100 mid/high vs the SZ2K? For me the M100 is somewhat warm but if a basscan can come close to it, it's ok for me.

2 Months ago I considered buying the SZ2000 but got the Philips X1 instead. Not bad, but deep inside I knew something was lacking.   I was reminded of how much a basshead I was. (I also own the M50, M100, XB920, JBL S700, none of which I consider "bassy")   I'm getting the SZ2K  very soon...

Quote:   It's been a while since I haven't visited head-fi, I think it's time to update this thread a bit and refresh it with new opinions. My main use for the S700 is to listen to many kinds of music in spotify in an iPhone 5S. Spotify premium allows the user to "download" or stream...

After many more hours of listening and re-exploring the music I'm familiar with, The list of songs that don't sound well with live stage on keeps expanding, and the most noticeable should be Led Zeppelin - all my love (specially 2007 remaster), it sound very tiny when ON, compared to rich and...

So I see you are not all in all impressed with the S700, IMHO they do need some burn-in time, and believe it or not, you will actually get used to them, to the point where every other headphone will sound dull and lifeless. This is my case after more than a month with these. I believe you should...

This is a short review of the new JBL S700 headphone from their recently launched Synchros line, after 40 hours of proper burn in, and to have it compared to the V-Moda M100, which is the closest I have for this price range and class. Being my first ever review in this forum I hope to translate...

This is a quick review of the TDK EB900 by a basshead, don't expect very detailed writing about the sound quality.   I've been buying cheap, sub-$100 earphones since I had my first real mp3 player 5 years ago, trying to get the ones with most bass. Started with many cheap earphones, then I...

Quote: it made that buzzing sound in the left earpiece only, and they are not that bassy, so I ordered the TDK EB900 instead, those have bass. :)   I actually kept the earphones and recieved a refund, I don't live in the US and it would cost $50 to ship it back from here. So I after...

I had the turbines for a while when they were on sale for $58. At this price they are pretty good, I'd say balanced sound with "good bass" for the non-basshead. Worth the $60 but if you buy it regular price then you should look for better a choice. Mine came with a cracked driver and many people...

Mine arrived with a cracked driver, I thought it needed burn it so i gave it 30 hours. Same problem, so I returned them. I think there is no quality check for this product.. they werent as bassy as I expected.

Quote: The TDK hasn't shipped yet, but the chances it fulfils my requirements are 30%, according to the few reviews I could find. So I'm pretty sure I will end up buying the atrios. In fact I considered buying them 3 years ago when they were $150, but instead I spent the same amount...

The wire is not the problem, is the earphone itself, the superfi 5 EB earpiece is HUGE and it simply wont fit well in my ears.

During these days I decided to test the Turbines a bit more with the Fiio E5, and while I was playing music at high volumes, the left earpiece started to make a strange noise, the "driver" cracked and now it rattles when there is bass playing. Returned it and got my refund. So after a little...

Hi there. I made a similar thread looking for the maximun bass out of IEMs.   I have the Monster turbines, the SQ is good, but it lacks in the lows. Is not what it is marketed to be. Simply put, their bass is like the CX300, but way more refined, not more bass, just more refined.   I...

I'm a basshead and I want a IEM as bassy as the superFi5 EB if possible.   Is the Panasonic HJE900 more bassy than the Turbines or Playaz N1? They have amazing reviews. I'm also interested on the TDKs.   After some research I don't think I'll get the sony, because of this review. Bass is...

Quote: Thank you for the suggestion, I've heard great things about the atrios, but the sony are at a very good price, so I will give it a try first. If I still don't get what I want, I'd probably just give up and jump to a full size can, xb700 to start with.

Hi everybody.   A week ago I ordered the Monster Turbines when it was $58 on amazon. Hoping to finally get a pair of IEM that could satisfy my hunger for bass. After 4 days of testing and burn-in, I must say these failed miserably compared to the Playaz N1 with the foam tip. On a scale of...

Quote:   what the... secret mode?   the sound just magically improved, now it sounds wider, like with surround effect!!!   thanks for the tip!
