So I've been wanting to get into the audiophile scene for quite some time now. I listen to music all day every day, from the moment I get to school until I either have to go to work or go to bed. I’m currently just using the standard EarPods that came with my iPhoneX on a daily basis. I own the...

Hi Audiophiles, This amateur music lover is in need of some advice from real experts / audiophiles who can help me lift up my musical experience to a higher level. So what is it that I'm looking for? To be able to receive the proper advice, I'll try to shed some light in a structured way on my...

Hi, I would like your advice on what/how should I upgrade my current equipment: Headphones: Grado SR325e, Beyerdynamic T90 Jubile IEMs: 64audio U8 with stock premier cable (silver-plated copper) DAP: Fiio X5 3rd gen AMP: iFi Micro iDSD I'm thinking on moving from the Fiio X5 to iBasso DX200...

Hi. For a while I've been thinking about getting a new pair of headphones, but I'm still undecided. I'm a huge fan of SOAD, thought I also enjoy stuff like Rise Against, 5FDP and similiar (sometimes even a bit of classical music), so I'd like them to sound nice. I use headphones mostly in the...

Hi, This is my first post here. I made this account because I have a big dilemma and that is that I don't know what headphones I need to get. Here's some backstory, skip over this next paragraph if you don't care. So I've only ever had about 3 expensive pairs of headphones. A few years ago...

So, this is my first post here and I've seen and heard that this site is very helpful for headphone enthusiasts or beginners. I've recently got into music more and want the most I can get out of it. So of course, the first step along the way is the right listening apparatus. I have a budget of...

Just upgraded my desktop monitors to the seriously impressive Adam Audio T7Vs. I'm currently feeding them through an Audioquest Dragonfly Black and while I like the sound signature, the Dragonfly was completely blown out of the water when I swapped in my Chord Mojo instead. However, as these are...

Hello guys I am trying to decide if I should buy the Shure SE425, Rha t20I, AKG n20 or the Noble edc bell. Can you guys help me what I should get. Thanks in advance.

Hey all, been lurking here for a while now trying to figure what to get to kickstart my exciting endeavour into the audiophiliac scene... however, the search for a suitable pair seems to be quite daunting and (much) harder than I anticipated and so I decided to break my silence and seek help...

Hi there fellow headfiers, let me start of by saying that i own an OEM of the brainwavz hm9 the Reloop RHP-30 and if your gonna ask me where i got the Reloops well i got them from the palm expo at the Reloop showcase thingy in Mumbai. So back to the mod CLAMP MOD: So many people say that if...

I am a musician but do not call myself an audiophile. I am however interested in getting the best sounding set-up for the price and this forum seems to know what they are talking about. I have a pair of akg k702s that I have used for years without an amplifier, and while reading posts on this...

Hi! I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 (over-ear) which I'm thinking about returning, they were slightly small for my ears which caused them to be unwantingly uncomfortable. I am therefore looking for a better alternative before taking any action. (Bought them at 210 dollars)...

Hi all, I'm looking for an mp3 player to replace my Sandisk Clip Sport, whose screen has started to die. I like the form factor, durability and battery life a lot, but don't like the startup time (especially as it recatalogs the whole player again every time it turns on) and overall...

Hey guys, in the past few weeks I've probably read and watched at least a whole book worth of information on headphones, dacs, amps, cables, sound and what not. Despite all that I'm still at a loss and am creating this thread to ask for advice. Let's take a quick look back at what I've went...

Hello everyone, I've been stalking this forum for about 5 years but just decided to join, please be nice to me :blush: The title says it all tbh. I am in the market for a new headphone to upgrade from the original M50 as I have some money coming in, and after some research, I've initially...

I currently have the Focal Utopia and the Sony MDR-Z1R and am curious as many of you have much more user knowledge as to highly acclaimed HP. I’m looking for totl to fill that gap for a warm, musical , enjoyable vs analytic. So will be interested what you each thinks should fill the third slot...

Hi all, as the title says, I'm curious to see opinions. I'm hoping to buy one of these two, but I'm not sure which. I've heard great things about both, and that the first generation of each had issues that have now been solved. I want one of these two because I know for a fact that I'll be able...

So this has been something I have been looking into for some time now, and I cannot seem to get any definitive answer. I am looking into a set of planar cans that are around 200$ or less. I have been leaning towards the Monolith Monoprice M560's, and I also have been looking into the Fostex...

Hi guys, I've been looking to upgrade from my ATH-IM02 / Noble X massdrop. I will just be using the IEMs on my galaxy s8+. i feel like having a DAC/DAP is inconvenient. I do have Fiio amp though. Any suggestions help. I prefer sounds that are clear and have a good sound stage. I also like...

I picked up a pair of Vsonic gr07s and I absolutely love the sound of them. Instead of buying the fixed cable version, I bought the detachable cable version, but it only comes in black. Does anyone have any experience with painting earphones? I'm only looking to spice it up with a single block...

Hi guys, wanted to know if someone could help me out on this one. I have a choice between two headphone amps for my budget: Fiio E10K for 90 bucks Musical fidelity v90HPA for 90 bucks (2014 secondhand and comes with a Audioquest Forest USB A B). By the way, It's for my Beyerdynamic dt770 80...

Hi HF - I have a set of ultimate ears UE6000s. One of my earliest forays into nicer headphones. It, of course, has that shoddy 1.8" connection in the right ear and I haven't been able to keep them working well. I like the cans, but they get no use, so I am in to try a little headphone surgery...

Hi everyone, It has been a while since I have posted but I am getting ready for a headphone/equipment upgrade and I wanted to get some thoughts about the two options I am considering and see if you guys can help guide my decision making process. What I currently have: Emotiva XDA-2 -> Little...

Hi. I'm in this amazing hobby since 2015 and I'm thinking about getting serious into it. So far I have avoided buying a dedicated player, desktop dac and amp. My music is streamed from Tidal (Desktop and iPhone) and my audio gear is a HiFiMan HE400S, Shure SE535, NAD HP50 and a Creative E1...

Hey guys, I'm going to purchase my first pair of chinese headphones soon and most likely need an advice! I'm already into chi-fi, since I purchased several IEMs, but I'm open to any kind of suggestion. I don't care much about open/closed back and would use them for casual music listening, tv...
