Hi everyone.   After 5 years of loitering around the portable & IEM thread I got the urge for some over the head cans. Having spent the last two or three months going through thread after thread, drawing up lists, striking off cans and re-adding others I came to a decision that the Fischer...

Hello headfiers, I'm new here and this is my firts thread as you can see. At the moment i got a pair of Sennheiser HD 515 hooked up to a regular amp (not a headphone amp) However it's a pioneer vsx 415. After i wanted to get some new audio stuff i discovered this site and now it's my turn to...

Hi there,   I have a conundrum. It's something that has been bothering me for quite a while now.   The problem is with my Sennheiser HD650. They are late model ones. The problem is this: Some days I love it, I can't imagine anything sounding better. Then the next day I will don my...

I have been using computer speakers, since I stay at home most of the times. Recently, out of no where.. I wanted to buy an headphone really bad. (lol) What would be an average audiophile headphone to buy for around $150? I am planning to use it for couple of years so.. (I really wanted those...

hi all    im a general music lover all depend on the mood , thinking of buying one of those the  denon ahd2000 or the fischer audio fa-002w the  light beach edition ( cheapest model)  both are cost the same  almost  

I was originally just going to get some HD598s (and still might depending on how this thread turns out), but I wanted to see what a slight raise in budget could get me. I have no idea what sort of sound I want as I only own a pair of HD280 Pros, so my experience is limited. Something fun, but...

How much improvement does the 8-step ampitheater wood cups have over the 5-step ampitheater wood cups in the FA-002w? Is there a difference in bass, mids, highs?   I was thinking of buying the 5-step ampitheaters and using the left-over money to buy a decent portable amp.

Hello guys,   I just bought a Fischer Audio DBA02.    And I earned some money from my fake Beats by Dr.Dre sale. :P ( He got it with knowing that it is fake, I did not scam him )    Now I have 220 USD budget for this headphone thingy.   I am an intermediate ( !? ) audiophile and...

I'm more of an iem man as I have or had the ie8, se530, fx-500, fx-700, sm3, hippo vb, sound magic pl50 (and 30), ie7, and monster pro gold. I want to listen to a good full sized can in the house though as they trump iems on average (price for price).   As far as full sized headphones I have...

I am looking for a transparent-sounding headphone with good midrange transparency and dynamics (for classical and acoustic jazz) for use with a Little Dot Mk. III or Darkvoice 336SE, priced at about EUR 200 or thereabouts. Does anyone have a particular recommendation? I suppose it will be...

edit- Jus saw the post about not posting new threads regarding headphone advice....sorry.  Disregard this if its in the wrong place.      Hey there! I am lookin to purchase my first pair of audiophile headphones. I am a huge noob, but I love music and figured I should invest in a good pair...

Guys, I want to know the most natural sounding pair of headphones you've heard. It kind of means, the most accurate reproduction but not exactly. I mean when the drummer hits the snare and you hear it and it fades out in the right amount of time and you think to yourself "man that's what a snare...

Hi,   I have recently bought a HM601 and I like the sound of the player. However, it does not seem to match well with my UE Triple Fi 10 reason being the highs seems to be a little too rolled off for my taste when matched with the HM601.    I also have the Denon AD1001 which does match...

I'm stuck between these two.  Reviews seem great for each, but the budget isn't going to allow me to buy both right now.  Since I got my LD MKIII, I've really started to like my K702s a lot more, which is sort of pushing me towards the HE-4; but, I'm not sure if the LD has enough power to drive...

Hey i'm looking to purchase my first set of headphones and i'm wondering which of the 2 would be a better choice. I know the ad900 is open and the fa-003 is closed but i don't really know the advantages of each. I'll be using the headphones at home so i don't really need isolation. I don't...

Has anyone seen the new headphones they bought out? It is called FA-011,they look so nice. I wonder how they compare to FA-003/FA-002.             Specification Frequency range:18-22000 H Sensitivity:98dB Impedance:160 ohms Maxium input power: 0.4W  ...

Which one is the better buy?   $187 shipped for FA-003 $242 shipped for FA-002w LBR (Cheapest wood earcup available)   I also read that the FA-003 did have a better sound over the FA-002, but then again, is the FA-002w the same as FA-002? So it would mean that the FA-003 has better...

any sets you guys can name with a detachable cable with a 3.5mm or 2.5mm standard entry would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,   A couple months ago I bought some Shure 840s, Audio-Technica M50s, and Ultrasone 780s, planning to try them out and keep the set I liked the most.  I found the Ultrasones to be a little bright for my taste, and they just didn't sound that impressive to me.  The M50s sounded great...

Is it too much to ask to want your cake and to eat it too? I have a Benchmark DAC-1 with a great headphone section. And I've spent a fair amount on headphones, but I can't seem to find any with a closed back that both sound good and I can wear for more than a few hours. Here's what I've tried...

Hi all,   I've been here for quite a bit and being the educated consumer I believe myself to be, I've been sitting here soaking up information on headphones, IEMs, DACs, and amps for the past couple of months.  I've owned some lower end IEMs, got a pair of Denon AH-D1001S(supra-aural...

****Note**** As always, these are strictly my opinions. I try to present these products as honestly as possible and try to describe them as best as possible. As always, YMMV. ****NOTE****   The Fischer Audio FA-002W-OW   W IS FOR WOOD!   That’s right….Fischer Audio has...

I bought the Fischer Audio FA-003 a week ago after reading up LFF's Reviews on them. And upon first hearing them out of the box i have to say i am really surprised!   For something of a reasonable price range, These Cans definitely says they are no slouches even though they were fresh out of...

  Fischer Audio's master series of headphones all seem to be Yoga Electronics headphones, rebranded. Specs match. I think they changed the logo, but thats all I see that's different.   http://www.yoga.com.tw   CD-880 and CD-990 in the Yoga Monitor series are FA-002s and FA-003s...
