Happy New Year Everyone!   Im look for a new pair of headphones. I will most likely be using them with my Cowon S9 so Im not overly concerned with driving them. I listen to a great hodgepodge of music but mostly gravitate towards acoustic rock and alternative. Will either of the choices be...

I'm looking for some good quality portable over the ear headphones to pair with my cowon s9. My budget is around 60 USD. I'm currently using the Grado SR80i with my cowon but the long wire is very irritating. I also find it to be a hassle to carry around. Don't get me wrong, I love these Grados...

AS the title suggests I am looking for an upgrade to these IEMs. I have previously used Shure SE310, E2c and have heard the SE530 IEMs. I had 2 pairs of Nu-Force Ne-8 IEMs which unfortunately broke. I liked the SE530 IEMs but felt I couldnt justify the extra cost fo these IEMs over the NE-8. I...

I just ordered the jh 16 pro. Should I update my source with the Hifiman HM-602 or get the RSA Protector and balanced twag cable and LOD? Right now I have an Ipod Nano 16 gb 5th gen and Nokia N900 which sounds pretty decent to me with the um3x. Not sure if I will carry an amp with me so I'd...

Hey Head fier's,   I currently own the S2's, CX680's, CX500's, HD 212 Pro's,Ipod Nano 4g (8gb) and Ipod Touch 2g(16gb). ( TBH I've got about 10 pairs of in-ears but don't want to mention them. Eg: SK Titans, MX660's, etc, etc.   I like the sound of my CX680's since its bright but not as...

Hey everyone, been following these forums for a few weeks trying to get my bearings on everything.   Anyway, down to it. I was looking for a pair of headphones that would be used at home (movies/music), at the library (no leakage), and traveling by plane (isolation). With the occasional walk...

Hi. First thing i wanna say is that i did use the forum's search option but couldn't find any topic discussing on the exact thing im checking about. now, im looking for a studio-use headphones. that means that im gonna record, mix and master with it, mostly metal and electronic projects. i...

my budget 300 usd but i have not been in touch with the latest headphones so could need some recommendation. i got cowon s9 so i have a good sound quality from the device already. I need a deccent bass but at same time crystal clear voice as for warm and midbase i got no idea . not really an...

Perhaps not that recently, my father misplaced my Cowon D2 and ATH-CK7s.  I'm currently using a Cowon S9 and the Meelectronics M9's.   From my initial readings, the sound of both seems to be light in the bass department, detailed, and analytical.   Could someone elaborate on the nuances...

I was considering picking up a Cowon J3 or S9 today, but I realised that the $300 or so could be put toward an iPhone 4 that I've been secretly lusting for.  My question is if I use an LOD (I think it's called) to the iBasso D12 I have in the mail, will the source be as good as a digital...

There are many MP3 players in the market and many of them are worth the money but what's the best portable music player (MP3 Player) that can meet everyone's needs in only audio terms. Of course I'm only speaking of players like the Cowon J3 or S9. Be specific on the details of your experience...

I'd like to know what ear phone would pair to make the sound quality of the S9 even better? I am currently thinking of Westone um3x or Westone 3 or Ortofon e-Q7? Would they work well with S9?     Thanks for the input.

  Hi,    I was wanting to ask if the audio player mattered as much if you've a really good / decent set of earphones to go along? (not considering FLAC files or lossless of course, more like MP3s, where its already been highly compressed and lossy)   More specifically would the...

Hey I'm thinking about getting one of the above headphones, probably the 990, to use with my S9. I know that the consensus around these headphones is that despite the 32-ohm rating, they still don't sound good from portable sources, but most people have ipods. As the S9's amplifier is more...

1.) How does the sound quality to other players like the: cowon s9 zune 30/80/120gb Nokia 5800 sansa fuze amp3 sansa clip+ cowon iaudio Nokia N91 2.) How would they sound paired with the sennheiser mx w1's....would those earphones cripple the sound quality?

Hi everyone.   Ive recently replaced a new iPod Nano with a Cowon S9 and a set of Beyer' DTX 80's. While Im pleased with the quality and general functionality, I decided to check out a few reviews - after buying it - and It seems to be have 3 star ratings. As in, there is better available...

Hi   This is what i use now Cowon S9 -> mini^3 -> hd600   I was thinking about selling the cowon and the mini^3 and getting this:   Iriver 120/140 rockboxed -> Fiio e7 ( http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/470899/review-fiio-e7-usb-dac-headphone-amp )       In pricing this...

Hi everyone,   1st time poster, been reading for about 1 year. I've tried searching for a comparison thread of cans with reviews (i remember there was one but i can't find it) but to no avail. Hopefully someone will either lead the way or just give me some suggestions!   So here is the...

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, since my question is not only related to dap's.   Currently i am using either my cowon s9 or sony x1050 with either westone um3x (with ACS custom sleevs) or ath ck100. I am thinking of updating my rig and i was wondering what upgrade would...

Hi all, I've been using an iRiver iFP-899 for nearly 6 years. It was a perfect little DAP,with unbeliviable SQ, powered with simple AA battery (so I could still play my tunes while hiking in some God forsaken mountains, provided that I have a backpack filled with AA batteries), easy to use...

   What MP3 players offer the best sound quality for a cheap price. I'm thinking around 32gb... Can I potentially buy a sandisk clip+ and replace the micro sd card with a 32gber? I heard the sound quality of these are pretty good for the price, but the highest they come in is 8gb I...

I just started getting into the audio scene and I am a complete "newbie." The only real audio products I have are the Cowon S9 with my Klipsch image s4, and my Audioengine A2s. As of now I'm looking for a good pair of headphones that would sound great at home and on the go(with the cowon).  ...
