I am getting the itch to upgrade my AKG's but don't know what's new out there. Basically looking for another open can but they have to be extremely comfy like my AKG K7XX. I work from home so I wear my headphones 8-10 hours a day.

I am in the process of redesigning my office and I am looking to add a speaker system to the setup. As of now I have been using O2/ODAC combo and of course it's superb. I am basically looking for a similar performance DAC/head amp but that also has balanced outputs to go to speakers. I want...

I am looking for a DAC that has at least 24/96 via USB but it needs to have balanced outputs for my JBL monitors. Thing is I want to keep it at $300. I have found two options: Matrix Mini-i (old version) Emotiva XDA-2 These my only two options out there? I like that the old version of the...

My trusty AD700's have gotten pretty old and worn out as they have been used every day for a lot of years. Now I am looking for a replacement open air can that is just as comfy but with maybe a little more SQ. I was looking at the AKG K612 Pro as the price is right and seem to be a step above my...

Got on the massdrop deal for the A2 and Amazon was selling the polk for $79 last week and Adorama deal on the E10. It's almost criminal how good this combo sounds for $244.

Got my trumpets from the $150 deal on ebay and got a lot of people asking if it came with full warranty and how they arrived so here it is. If the packaging was supposedly "blemished", I have yet to find where. These IEM's are brand spanking new. Here are some pictures:

I want to set up a small system for my wife consisting of an Audioengine A2's, Fiio E10, and an old laptop so she can listen to her music on either the speakers or her cans and was wondering if there is anything on Android that is similar to iOS where you can control you itunes library through...

Says blemished packaged but other than that they are brand new at a killer deal, much better than the X10 deal IMO. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Monster-Miles-Davis-Trumpet-Earphones-with-ControlTalk-/120929597094?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item1c27f736a6

I have some COPs coming and I want to take a stab at making my first DIY cable. I am going to be using silver wire 24ga. from this place...

Looking for some portables for my wife so she can listen to music at work and she doesn't want an IEM. She listens to all kinds of pop and other stuff like techno and electronic music. She also likes the way the white M50's look. I was also thinking about Ultrasone Pro 550, 780, and 580 which...

Well my DT770 are sold and gone so now it's time to decide what my new headphones are going to be. The choices have been narrowed down to these two: Beyerdynamic DT1350 AKG Q701 I know they could not be more opposite to each other but this is what I am looking for compared to my DT770: Less...

I have had my DT770 for a while now and recently I bought some new IEM's which have made me forget about my Beyers. I like them but I find their energetic top end is not agreeing with me so much anymore. I also would like something with a more balanced sound while still retaining good detail. I...

I have an Indeed G2 (12AU7) version on the way and want to roll some different tubes. Right now trying to win a Mullard ECC82 and am looking for some others to check out.

I just bought some Turbine Pro Golds less than a week ago and now the Q701 deal for $250 at ee is screaming at me to hit buy. I do not own an open headphone but I am hesitating because I am not sure if they will be more of the same compared to my Beyer DT770/250. I have been itching to try out...

Just saw them on amazon at that price and wondering why the price is so low.  ...

My desktop setup consists of a Musiland 02 paired with a fiio e9 and I am lookng for something portable that can decently power my DT770/250 and PFE 112's. Not looking for anything that can power them like my e9 just something that can do it decently at less than $150. Was looking at the...

Looking for a pair of IEM that are comfy for sleeping, long flights and all around use. Sources are ipad2, iphone4, and ipod nano. Might purchase an XM4 later on to go with them. Which would you say are the most comfortable of the 3 and which sound the best? 

I have read that the Maverick D1 and Grant DAC-9 are essentially the same unit but from the specs of the Grant it says that the headphone out does not go through the tube preamp section and instead goes from the DAC directly to the SS headphone amp. Does the D1 do the same thing or does the...

  I currently own a pair of Dynaudio Focus speakers and DT770/250. I bought the Beyers when I used to own a pair of Dali speakers and their sound signature was very similar with a very energetic top end. I downsided my system a couple of months later and was going to go to a headphone only...

I am looking for the ones that seem to be floating around with more bass. Was this a fluke in manufacturing or there is actually a new revision out there with more bass?

Is this DAC the real deal? The cheapest I have seen for an Asynchronous DAC with those specs is the new Arcam rDAC for $500.

Currently have a pair of DT770/250 that I use with no special amplification but would like to get some new open headphones to try. I like the sound of my Beyers but want something with a more detailed midrange and more bass which the DT770 lack. From reading some of the  DT990 threads the 600ohm...

I already have a pair of DT770/250 but I have almost decided that my next purchase is going to be a pair of DT990/600. I currently run my headphones through my stereo receiver but want to put together a headphone only system in the bedroom. My plans for the DT990/600 are the following:  ...

Hello everyone been a long time lurker and got my first pair of headphones last year (Beyer DT770 250ohm) because of a very good amazon deal and my interest in trying out headphones after being a speaker guy for many years. Well in the past year and a half of owning my DT770 I now barely listen...
