I currently have the Focal Utopia and the Sony MDR-Z1R and am curious as many of you have much more user knowledge as to highly acclaimed HP. I’m looking for totl to fill that gap for a warm, musical , enjoyable vs analytic. So will be interested what you each thinks should fill the third slot...

So, I am looking to maybe get a new amp to pair with my Sennheiser HD800 with the SuperDupont mod. I now own an iFi Micro iDSD and that's the only DAC/amp where I've heard the 800s off. I'm interested in getting maybe more out of the HD800's. I'd like to get some recommendations on nice pairings...

Hi all... I am just considering whether having a class-A headphone amp is really useful when used with a cellphone's headphone out.... while I am aware of the advantages of a Class-A headphone amp... would it matter if the cellphone's headphone output isnt class-A? I mean... lets say (for...

Hello, Just like the question says I was wondering when it is best to turn on or off 7.1. virtual surround sound with Dolby Atmos/Windows Sonic for Headphones. I was watching the Fellowship of the Rings Bluray yesterday and was displeased the crap/dead sound on my HE500 headphones. I looked at...

Hi, i'm looking to get a pair of IEM's around that price tag, i was thinking of getting ones with a detachable cable (second pair now that stops working), but if there's an option with better sound quality that's not detachable, i'll go for it Thank you,

Hey folks; Making the plunge and looking for selection advice. I've got a new apartment with a study that's turning out to be echo city, so desktop/bookshelf monitors aren't going to cut it without a LOT of echo chasing. Not worth it. Happily jumping into the world of cans instead. Last night...

Hi everyone, I am an audiophile who listens mostly to 24/48kHz lossless files and I want to buy new headphones. Musical genres are metal, jazz, blues, electronica, underground and so on...so basically I listen to everything except Pop music. The headphones should be closed back, on or over ear...

Hi guys, I'm very new into audio equipment and would like to get myself a new pair of headphone. I currently own a HD451 and Hyper X Cloud 2. (Both are gifts btw, so no complains here) and no amp. Before last month i had no idea music could sound so great on a pair of headphones. A friend of...

Hi, I'm interested in these headphones, but I'd like to know from someone that owns them whether they support multipoint (connect to two devices, then, pause on one device, play on the other, without reconnecting), since I found conflicting information online. Thank you PS. What about the same...

So I have $4,500 to spend on a pair of headphones, an amp and a dac. I’ve messed around with a bunch of low fi and midfi and want to go all the way this time. I was planning on going with the Autuer Teak from ZMF with a Soekris 1541. I feel that this may be pointless as I would most likely shoot...

For two years, I had the Akg K702 and I liked them a lot. The K702 has excellent positional audio and everything sounds very clear, although I feel that they could have a little bit more bass. I also have to say that I am not an audiophile. I have read many times that I need a good amp to...

I currently have a pair of Sennheiser PX 200 II phones that are great for noise reduction (incoming and outgoing) and have decent sound quality. I'm currently using an AK Jr. I was wanting something a little more upmarket that's equivalent in terms of comfort and noise reduction but don't...

So, I have a job right now where I have my own office and was pondering the thought of some new headphones and maybe a dac/amp. Currently, I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT990's (600 ohm) paired with a Little Dot MKIII. I really enjoy the sound of this. I feel that the tubes help tame the sharp...

Hello everyone, i already own many pairs of superlux semiopen headphones and my daily gaming drivers are the 681-F, that i use with an in-ear connected just for the microphone but i'm now getting sick of using this setup as it's not comfortable. I mean, the headphones are good, and i find them...

It's been awhile since my last post but I know that this is the place to ask... I have a very nice pair of Grado HP-1000 drivers in custom black walnut cups. I'm using an Accuphase C200 preamp to amplify them. Both of these pieces are excellent, but I wonder how well mated they are. I have to...

Hi. I'm in this amazing hobby since 2015 and I'm thinking about getting serious into it. So far I have avoided buying a dedicated player, desktop dac and amp. My music is streamed from Tidal (Desktop and iPhone) and my audio gear is a HiFiMan HE400S, Shure SE535, NAD HP50 and a Creative E1...

Hi Everyone, I own right now Audio Technica ATH-M30X, I feel the sound is excellent. I don't know what the quality of sound should be because is the most expensive headphone I have ever use. But, It's uncomfortable for me for more than half hour of use, it becomes really painful. I don't want to...

Anyone out there know of a headphone case that will fit Oppo PM3s without having to remove the cable? I find myself using these headphones less while traveling (even though I love their sound) because it’s a bit of a pain to wrangle the cables every time I take them out, especially in tight...

The new takstar pro82 impression threat Hey people, I’m new in this forum so actually this is my first impression threat that I wrote so be gentle with me and keep that in mind, sorry for my English it is not my native language :) Disclaimer, I’m not came from professional sound backround...

Hi, I got 400$ CAD for Christmas, I want to buy a new headphone. I have the HD6xx/HD58x in my sight, but I'll need a DAC/AMP, I don't know if a E10k will be enough for one of those headphones. I'll use them for mixing, gaming and mostly for music. Thank you :D

can anybody give me the skinny on these cans? Width Imaging Sound & detail Anybody have a pair of these they’re willing to let me rent to try them out? I’m waiting for the price to drop but they’re holding at $550. Thanks!

Im kinda dumb when it comes to audiophile terms.So basically i wanna purchase a new headphones.But im stuck between choosing the monolith m1060 or the hifiman HE-400I. My first audiophile purchase was the AKG 7XX from massdrop and my amp/dac combo is the shiit fulla 2.Whichever headphones i buy...

Hi all, I'm a sound editor working on dialogues that need to be cleaned very thoroughly. I'm looking for closed-back headphones around £400 ($500) mark. I'm currently using Beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro, which are not mine. They seem to be doing the job fine, but I need to buy my own, and I was...
