Hey! I would like some recommendations on what headphone amp I should buy. Headphones it will power: HiFiMAN HE4XX Beyerdynamic DT770 Verum 1 Future purchases might include Sennheiser HD600/HD650 or more planars like Sundara. Features it needs: Low output impedance, less than 2ohm, preferably...

I am a complete newb at this - wanted to get that out of the way in my first post. The reason I'm here is because I tested some Sennheisers HD6-something headphones at Frankfurt airport and was completely BLOWN AWAY by what you guys refer to as "soundstage." I can't remember the exact model...

I'd like some input on a good headphone under 200 dollars (I don't care about buying used headphones) to upgrade my SHP9500. I will try to explain what I like. I want open back cans, I don't have a problem having to use an amp but to be sincere if I have to I would need to buy a very cheap amp...

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...

Hey everyone! So I have the Samson Z35 which go for around $65. I kind of want to try getting a DAC for it, but I just wanted to run it by a few experts before choosing. I'm thinking my cans aren't good enough to benefit from a DAC anyway, but I don't really know. Currently, they plug right...

Also, I need headphones that will fit a large noggin. Right now I have JVC HA-S680's. They're very nice (I like the build quality) but I want more bass and more volume, if possible. Does such an animal exist?

Hello! Glad i found this community. This is my first post so bear with me. Not a long time ago the best earphones my ears had listened to were the apple earpods which I still enjoy to be honest, they are quite comfortable for my ears, and sound is decent. My first step up if i might say was...

Hello Everyone, So a while back I was looking for some IEMs for heavy metal (particularly doom metal --Black sabbath and so forth as well as most other forms of metal). I also listen to some hip-hop, classic rock, punk, hardcore etc. Someone recommended the KZ ES3 at that point so I picked...

Might be a noob question here but is the Chinese budget audio market is rapidly improving and making better-sounding products than before?

I'm in need of some new earphones, and only have about $50, 60 max to spare for some new ones for portability. I like to listen to Metallica and Pink Floyd, so something with very little leakage is something that I can greatly appreciate. I know that my price range doesn't open up a lot of...

For the last 15 years I've been using a pair of Sennheiser mx400 earbuds (bought for $10). I've always been totally happy with them and would gladly buy another pair, but wondered if anyone can recommend something even better? Ideally under $50 (I don't have a lot of money). I'll be using them...

I'm currently looking for some new speakers, either passive or powered, between $100-$200 a pair for casual desktop use in a small bedroom. I will be using be it for music, movies, and games alike. I just want the best possible sound for my budget, no more. I would prefer new, but for the right...

I love the sound for the quad rivers but wearing them down gives too much microphonic. When I wear them over my ear they don't stay over and I have to readjust constanly. I was thinking about getting custom tips (I already have impressions made) or maybe stabilizers to help. Should I sell them...

Has anyone heard of this new Xiaomi earphone? It's shaped like a Apple earbud. Link: https://www.ibuygou.com/p-xiaomi-original-dual-unit-half-ear-headphone-11045.html

I have a HE-400i and want a HE-400S, but I also want a new dac/amp. Which one should I get. The 400S is about 230$ and the DAC/Amp is the ifi Nano DSD which is 199.99$. Which one should I go for? I can only get one of them and it'll be a while until I can get something at the same price point of...

I want to either upgrade my HE-400i to the HE-400S or get a K7XX or HD 6XX. Getting the Sennheisers or AKG would be more costly because I would need to get a new DAC/AMP for them. What should I get and is it worth the price to change to the Sennheisers or AKG? I mainly game and listen to music.

Hello, I would like some help to get a new headphone, I would like something under 150 dollars, not having to use an amp is a plus as well. I used to love bass but some time with the SHP changed how I listen to music. I like the signature of it, I just use the EQ to bring the bass up a little...

Hi, i'm looking for a player in that price range, also wondering, how does something in that price range compare to a smartphone fir like, 300/400$? Thank you,

Hi All, I'm new here and don't know to much about audio but here it goes... I have recently wanted to get a new pair of good quality audiophile headphones for all my desktop computer audio this includes playing lots of different FPS games, watching movies and listening to music such as Techno...

Hello Head-fi, I'm looking for a mid-end and portable headphone within the budget of 350USD-ish~ My definition of mid-end is a little bit high-end but not very high-end, for example I have been looking at Audio-Technica MSR7 and MSR7-SE and also Sony MDR-A1. The MSR7 fits my tastes quite well...

My old pair bust in one ear so I picked up some cheap Betron B25's from Amazon UK but I feel like I could be getting more value for money, they sound poor. I'm debating whether to stick super budget or spend a little extra. I've looked at recommendations / reviews from all over but many are...

I got my game zero used and it is the old version. It runs fine but the back that isn't supposed to be disconnected is getting loose. I believe it's time to join the audiophile world and want some good headphones for gaming and casual listening. I probably am gonna get aassdrop minimum but don't...

Looking for the best sound card that can run hd 650/6xx optimally for <110. I have a xonar dgx as of right now but want to be able to run the 650 or 6xx's well.

Hello, I'm new there, I'm proud to be here writing my first post, because of this amazing forum(I really like the work you do here and also the time you spend here to make this community grow). I'd really enjoy if I could learn more about audiophile's world, but I'm getting a bit chatty there...
