    Is equalizing for listening with headphones a horrible idea?

    Hi, guys: I just registered to this forum to ask for advice from people who really know about this stuff, not just regular folks like me who have just their personal opinion about it. So the thing is that last week I finally received a pair of Massdrop Hifiman HE4XX which I paired with the O2...

    Wired and wireless headphones, which is for you?

    To me, I am using wireless headphones more and more often, especially when I work out. It's convenient and can avoid the hassles of dealing with cords. And the sound is not bad for me, after all I use mobile phone to listen to music mostly. So what's your lifestyle? Do you use wired or wireless...

    Looking for the best headphones below 100£

    Hello guys, I used to look for headphones in the similar price range but I had the requirement of them being foldable - well I don't really care about that anymore (I'm still gonna be traveling a lot with them but I'll think of a way to keep them secure). What I'm looking for (as much as you...

    High impedance headphones, amps, Synths and music production

    Hello! First post around here. Upon a fairly extensive research around these forums I decided to upgrade my headphones since my pair of loyal AKGs 240s died on me last week. I play and record music at night (guitar and lately synths) so I decided it was only reasonable to take the opportunity...

    SoundMagic P22BT

    To enable high fidelity sound, the drivers of the P22BT have been tuned for a dark and warm sound concentrating on a deep and pleasing bass response with balanced midrange and distinct instrumental separation. It is a feat of engineering of SoundMAGIC to achieve sound of this degree in such an...

    Xonar Essence STX II - Amplifier setting?

    Hello, wonderful Head-Fi:ers! Was just curious, I've got my DT990 (250 ohms) and running them through a Xonar Essence STX II. I have always used the "High gain (+12dB for 64~300 ohms)" setting but using low overall volume in Windows. So what I was wondering is if I should lower it to the...

    Looking for an IEM/Headphones with more forward drum presentation

    Hi all, I'm new to this hobby, having yet to acquire the technical language to meaningfully talk about preference, but will instead describe what I'm hoping to find in terms of an IEM or pair of headphones. Live, the sound of the toms on a drum set reverberate and produce sound such that each...

    Dac/Amp pairing with my AKG K702

    Hi all! I'm looking to change it up a bit as my K702's are just a tad bit bright for my liking as I'm looking to possibly buy into a slightly warmer sound via Dac/Amp. I've been using the Fulla 2 and the SMSL M2 which sounds identical to me. I am a gamer so positioning is very important. I'm...

    AD900X vs HD 598 vs PC 373D for Gaming, Music and General Use

    Context: Having just been introduced to the world of audiophiles, I spent days doing research on pretty much everything I might need to know. Now I am by no means an audiophile; not yet anyway. But I do appreciate good sound, and I'd like to start experimenting with audiophile grade audio and...

    IEMs and their headphone counterparts

    I've been looking at iems after getting some nice headphones and hoping for something more portable, but still similar. However, I've read that iems aren't really the same and shouldn't be expected to compared as well - for instance I've read the Nova compared to a hd650, possibly with less...

    H.ear on 2/H900N bass and sound compared to H.ear on/100ABN

    I have the 100ABN and i'm happy with the bass. I tried the WH-1000XM2 and wasn't happy with the bass. Are the sound and bass in the h.ear on 2/H900N similar to H.ear on/100ABN (their predecessor)? Just to give you an indication, I have the following headphones and I'm happy with their sound...

    ¿Good sound-isolating headphones?

    Hi everyone, It's a pleasure to be here for the first time. Actually I own a Beyerdynamic DT770 80 Ohm and Ath-m50x, running it from my Sound Blaster Z in my PC. The sound quality is good for me, I don't need more (I don't understand a lot of sound). The issue is with isolation: I don't play...

    A long journey

    Hey guys, in the past few weeks I've probably read and watched at least a whole book worth of information on headphones, dacs, amps, cables, sound and what not. Despite all that I'm still at a loss and am creating this thread to ask for advice. Let's take a quick look back at what I've went...
