I am going to buy the STAX SR-009S earspeaker, but am a novice in the high-end audio world, and need some advice selecting a full setup (amp + preamp) that won’t limit the performance of the SR-009S. My reason for this purchase is that I used to have a STAX SR-L500mk2 with an SRM-252ii amp...

Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a dillemma. I'm looking to buy another set of headphones. I currently use Fidelio X2's that have served me well for the last 4 years. A local store has the Focal Elears on sale for $599 Australian dollars and Sennheiser have the HD660s on sale for $559. At only $40...

Hey guys, I'm currently running a set of Beyerdynamic DT990 Pros through a FiiO E09K desktop amp. RCA input to the amp is from the rear 3.5mm jack of my computer. This setup normally works fine and has no background noise even when the amp is cranked up high. I recently introduced a set of JBL...

According to my case, I have Moondrop A8 and Shure se846, and purchased UM mentor v3 last year. For DAP, I had Fiio x7 mark ii now. I think the a8 and Shure se846 is better for me. I have no idea about the difference between Moondrop a8 and UM Mentor V3. Personally, I think the UM Mentor v3 is...

Hi there I must say I am really new to this and I read the last week a lot about different recommendation and variation of AMPs and DACs, especially from Schiit. Over the past months was looking for a sweet deal for the dt1990 (first headphone at all) and I just got them several days ago. As...

Sorry for my english... As they(logitech) don't make earbuds anymore i need to find another one... I tried other brand but it sound like i am under water, choking here and there (when the voice overlap the music ) . Can't hear the gun shot... Just nothing good about it. This is what i...

I use CTM-500Elite CIEM’s and usually listen on my Pioneer XDP-100r which is great but there is a little noise floor that’s annoying at times, and I mostly use Tidal to stream especially in offline mode I want to upgrade new something new, I’ve looked at a lot of DAP’s out today’s and...

So my phone's jack broke. These are my options. If this helps you, I listen to metal.I listen while on the bus but while home too. If you have any alternative let me know.

THREAD CLOSED. What would be the best $ 200 open-back headphone for Epic songs / soundtracks (lots of orchestral) and powerful vocals, especially the females one? Will be my first open-back headphone. I was thinking on the HD6xx (HD650), but i saw a lot of reviewers saying that these...

so I have this pair of headphones I really liked, but I noticed the drivers are 32 Ohm and most headphones I've tried are 48 Ohm to 50 Ohm, per driver. I want to swap the current drivers in favor of some open Air 48 Ohm drivers. I'll remake the ear cups if I have to, thats not an issue, I'm some...

I know it may sound weird due to price difference and Sennhsier's own naming of the products and all, but I am genuinely interested in comparison between these two. Recently I've found out about the world chi-fi and after hearing friend's 40$ earphone basically being on par with my 300$ Senn...

Hi there, recently, I claimed my Pinnacle P1 for damaged cable, and I chose to get my money back instead of new P1 headphones. The reason is that I was always a bigger fan of warmer headphones with more bass, but I just didn't realise it before I bought my first low/mid-range audiophile...

Hey guys! Looking at TRN V90 vs CCA C12 vs Blon BL-03 vs GuideRay GR-i Could you recommend me between these 4 earphones based on some things I'm interested in? Sub bass - which has most of that low end sub-bass impact and slam Mid bass - which has the least bleed into the mids, that veil...

hello community, I'm new to all this, I know the basics and I've had headphones like the kz es4 and kz zsn now I decided to buy the kz zsx terminator that arrive in a few days and I'm looking for a DAP to listen to my music in better quality I have a fairly short budget I've been seeing...

Hi All, I'm a very new member here but I hope I to explain my setup clearly and concisely. My current setup is as follows: I have the Beyerdynamics DT880 600 Ohm headphones. They are powered by the Schiit Asgard 2 headphone amp, and my source audio is streamed at an average of 24 bit...

I currently own the HD 598's and I have for a few years now, but I want something more expensive that's closed due to household background noise. Since I'm going closed I'm willing to pay the price for the 177X in hopes that the soundstage is even wider than the 598 or dt 770's. I've been mostly...

I am looking for a thumb size or fairly small dac/amp smaller than the nx4 dsd for my laptop use. I have a nx4 dsd but it is just too big for me and honestly I dont need that much power. All I plan to use the dac/amp with is with iems mainly my jh 13vs and campfire cascade both of which do not...

so i've been looking to get into the audio scene lately (and by lately i mean been researching for about 5 months) and i'm not confident which one to go for, because where i live there are no stores to try out headphones in, so i don't know what my preferred sound signature is, so i will try to...

So I've been lately on doing some remixes, like 20 or so but never actually get to end them. Not until this last one: https://mega.nz/#!Wbg03Yaa!7rYT_cwdllbQ7rOLW4rGppZ1R2oBpM3yrRyBW3j84l0 So my question is: what do you think of it? P.S.: I know I could just upload the file to Head-Fi but it...

Helllo, Transitioning my audio desktop experience to a portable one. Realizing I can’t stand still very much .. As the title states the new DragonFly cobalt has grabbed my attention. I’ve always heard of how great their portable products are and figured I would take the dive. It’s small -...

Hello! I purchased the KZ ZS10 PROs and though I love them they are very fatiguing. I used them about an hour each day for travel and they hurt my ears outside and in. someone recommended the Tin T2s to me, said they were identical in sound and more comfortable. Comfortable yes. But the sound...

Hi friends, As you will gather, I’m new here; although, I’ve read numerous helpful and informative articles, comparisons and opinions. However, I am truly at a loss and have reached a point where reading and trying to understand things for myself is not a very cost effective nor wise audio...

So i have two pairs of headphones, ATH-M50x and HD598. I know this may sound noobish but i prefer the M50x over the HD598 even though i can feel and hear more clearly and better overall instruments in the HD598. My music choice changes in different times of years, some times i listen to music...
