Okay, so here are my limits Price: <$150 Type: Full Sized - can also be used out and about.  Type of music: Techno, Ballad, Rock (don't need crazy bass, already have beats for that), classical. basically the whole range. and if it's possible a portable amp Price <$50 I know there's...

Currently, I use my PC350 on my computer, mainly for gaming, movies and music. I also have an amp, the PA2V2. My sound card is the HT Omega Striker.   Futureshop is having a deal on Shure's SRH840, and I am wondering if it's worth the "upgrade" (if it even is an upgrade).   I also did...

I have Koss Porta Pro's that are great through PA2V2 on the go or direct from laptop. For more critical listening K601's and Little Dot I+ satisfy. While studying I am comfortable listening to Classical Music on XM Boombox when home alone. Just realized that I am easily distracted when I am not...

Good god, the punch my grado sr125i's get is fantastic. The lod with ipod sounds better then my usual mac source, but regardless the PA2V2 kills my past E5 amp. Gary was a great experience as well

ok I have the price range of around 170$ and am looking heavily into ultrasone cans (as I have a grado sr125i and use it for rock, I want something to use for hip hop and movie listening that will sound just as well with rock and can be run out of a PA2v2)   so can someone who has heard/or...

Hey folks, need some much needed help on couple o' potential upgrades I'm considering. I'm coming by some spending cash soon, and I've put my thoughts into as focused a question (or couple) as I can.    SO:    I've got a pair of 595's I'm extremely happy with. Bass leaves something to be...

I'm looking to get my first pair of headphones and I'm currently eyeing the Denon AH-D2000. Unfortunately, I can't find any distributor in LA or SD that carries Denon headphones so I'm unable to give them a test run before making the purchase. I live in the UTC area.   I'd be extremely...

Hello. I just recently joined head-fi after lurking / searching for hours after hours over days and have recently just settled on the DT770 Premium 250OHMs with the FiiO E7. I was wondering if there was anything better than the DT770s as I don't feel too satisfied with them even after being...

  Finally my PA2V2 arrived! Well I say finally. It did arrive on time so thanks Airmail.   Anyway I was browsing through my 320 kbps mp3 collection and I realised that as much as I love my albums from SoCal punk bands like The Offspring and Pennywise they are not that great when It comes...

hello every one my name Sean who live in Thailand so i have to say 'Sorry' because my English is bad   first of all im using Cowon J3 and Head direct Re-0 and i found out yesterday that   Left ear's sounds was gone . . . (used around 1 year) so i need to buy a new IEM   i think im...

Hey guys   Im new to high end stuff and want to get something that when I get it will blow me away. Gearing towards the a heavy bass would be nice. Gonna be using a PA2V2 amp because its portable and the price is right unless any of y'all can convince me otherwise! Looking to spend some...

  Hello,   Here's the problem- I like my Audio Technica ATH M-50s but lately I've been wanting a 'little more' out of the sq and general grunt, as I've found I've been turning up the volume a lot recently just to get some more power behind the sound. I have been looking at amps which may...

  Finally bought my first (and second) pair of "real" headphones. XD-53!    As I was walking towards the store I was still concidering buyin Pioneer HDJ-2000, just cuz they appear to be the most durable headphones ever. That was really important to me since I did not want to buy expensive...

Hey everyone,   I know this comparison has been made multiple times already, but still I want to be sure to make the right choice.   First some facts:   - I am not an audiophile, just a fun listener - I chose for these Headphones because of their bass, overall quality next to that...

Soooo my richardnoggin self saw a thread saying that the 600s and 650s were being discontinued. Immediately after I got home, I sent razordog an email asking if this was true and if he could save a pair for me. He said it's not discontinued but they're hard to get since they're on backorder. I...

Hey, guys. I am thinking about getting my first set of "decent" (using the term loosely here.) cans and I was wondering if you guys here could perhaps recommend a nice set within the $85-100 range. currently I'm thinking about the Sennheiser HD555's and the Grado SR80i's. I listen to a wide...

Greets guys.   I'm looking for new cans, and found some that I am feeling both price- and audio wise (by way of reviews).   Both are  circumaural and look spacious.   It comes down to the Fischer-004 (replaceable cable!) or the ATH ANCA 27's. Both seem relatively comfortable...

Hello! I'm new to Head-Fi, I've been reading the forums for about a week, beacuse I am willing to get my first serious setup, and I know you audiophiles can help me!   So lets go. My budget is $450, and here are my needs:   - Full size circumnaural headphones (preferably open). -...

Well Its been a while, and the upgrade bug has hit me. I have an IPOD touch 3rd gen with a Sendstation dock and PA2V2 amp with the Beyer DT235. I like the sound, but I want more. Now my living situation is such that I just can’t audition cans unless I travel out of the country, which is rare...

Better then the 80's and containing the same driver as the 225's, these unacknowledged heros of the Grados line up are friggin' wicked. Get yourself a PA2V2 and life is complete. Thinking about modding mine with a wood case though

From my current sr125i's. Was looking at the Senn. HD650's, AKG's, and a higher grado model. ANy suggestions? Would be powered by PA2v2 for now but would probably upgrade from that upon getting new cans.

Hey guys, I recently bought a pair of the Beyerdynamic DT770 - 32 Ohm version cans, and even though they have such a low impedance rating, the bass and low mids seem subdued when listening, especially at low volumes. I am looking for a good portable amp that will fix this issue.   Also, I...

Hi,   I was wondering how exactly a pa2v2 behaves.  If it is placed between a pc out and a pair of head phones will it be able to completely mute the sound at one end of the dial, or does it only amplify the sound.  Also, could it be used as a passive volume control without power.   Thanks

super excited. Been listening to the E5 with my sr125i and what a difference that has been. The E5 with the SR125i makes a huge difference, I'm confused as to what people are thinking when they say otherwise.

  Hello. I bought headphones Audio-Technica ATH-PRO700MK2 from eBay. I don't have item, because it's on the way. I prefer to listening from AMP, my audio source is notebook and portable player. My price limit is 75-80$. I want AMP with battery, because I often traveling. My headphones...
