Hi, guys It's been quite a while since I looked at anything Hi-Fi, so, forgive me if I sound like I've been living under a stone. I've been very pleased with my setup, consisting an RSA Darkstar, paired with Northstar Supremo and CD192 (end-game setup back in the 2010s). But I recently decided...

I'm looking for that "final" endgame iem. I own the u4s, and while I love them, I'm looking for that "4k" quality of resolution. While googling iems at the 2k price range (that's my budget), I kept seeing the u12t listed. So, would I be getting that upgrade that I'm looking for, or should I look...

Motivation Are you tired of chasing the mid-fi amp dragon? Done with flings and one-night stands with gear that was just good enough, even when your friends tell you otherwise? Are you finished doing the Walk of Shame to the Classifieds forum? Would you like to put an end to your addiction and...

Hi everyone, I am currently in the market for some new endgame IEM’s to round off my collection. I currently own the Sennheiser IE900 and Audeze Euclid. I am wanting to complete my trio of single DD, Planar and Hybrid (always liked the idea of having different technologies for sound). At...

Hey all, I'm looking for an IEM I can call my "endgame". Im leaning towards the Empire Ears Odin. I'd prefer something custom, which the Odin offers. I want something that's not perfectly tuned to harman as I tend to find that "dry/lifeless". Is there any other options you'd recommend? Or...

Hi guys, I'm brand new on this forum from Tbilisi/Georgia. While I appreciate Music, I have had only HD238 Sennheiser's which I've bought in Japan and which are really very good for the size. Other than that I have Klipsch RP-600M's Bookshelf Speakers running on NAD D3020 V2, they sound ULTRA...

Audiophiles, what if you only had $300 for your endgame headphones? (It doesn't have to be $300, it is only the limit, $50 / $125 / $200 is ok) Explain your choice! My choice: Philips SHP9600. Comfortable and minimalistic design, pleasing audio, V-Moda BoomPro compatible for gaming. (Edit...

Hi guys, this is my first ever post besides the new member introduction post. I have owned different headphones/earphones in the past: UE900, Westone w40, IE7, IE80, AKG K701, Beredynamic DT 880, Beredynamic Amiron, Sennheiser HD650 (still own), Audeze LCD-3 (still own), etc. I am currently...

Hi everyone, so I’m fed up with messing around with different headphones and gear and I’m looking to go complete endgame and just set and forget for good. Willing to spend up to 3k AUD maximum. So uber high-end headphones like the Abyss 1266, Susvara, LCD-4z, Utopia etc. are just out of the...

Hi HF - I am looking for my endgame phone - please share your make/model ideas and if you're up for it a little narrative would be great!! Im wanting to spend around $800 at the high end, ive been looking used. I know there are way more expensive headphones, but for the foreseeable future...

Hi guys would like to buy a headphone with wide Soundstage, clarity, smoothness, instrument isolation but at the same time good bass not booming or over powering or too much just deep enough to enjoy music, I really prefer a natural sound. I like Trap and dubstep, as well as classical and metal...

I have been in this hobby for 11 years now. I am an engineer but also a published photographer and artist. Over the years, I have bought, kept, and sold a lot of gear. I learned that expensive multi-thousand dollar gear are sometimes not worth their price tag. In fact, in a lot of cases...
