help and recommendations

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...

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...

hey guys! I play competitive call of duty - black ops 4 blackout. I was using the Astro a50 then switched to the a40 TR edition with mix amp pro. Obviously now I know they are an overpriced headset. As I started to browse for better options I came upon using audiophile or entry level audiophile...

Hello! For some time, I've been searching for the perfect IEMs to give to my mum Budget: ~600 USD max. My mum likes to listen to bands such as Air Supply, Dire Straits, ABBA, Bee Gees, F.R David ; Mostly Pop and Rock. She had never tried any high-end headphones, usually not listening to...

I’m seeking to buy my dad headphones as a birthday gift that will enhance his music listening experience. I’ve already purchased an Earstudio es100 for him as a portable amp. He has diverse taste in music, with the exception of most classical & hip hop and he mostly listens while relaxing at...

Hi all! Just looking for some advice. I'll preface with the fact that I am quite new but am doing my research as I go along. I have had a pair of RHA T20is for 2 1/2 years and the cable is now starting to fall apart. I really enjoyed the sound of the RHA but can't really analyse the specifics...

So, I was listening through my DT 1990 plugged into an Aune X1S until I noticed a few things: -These headphones are for mixing and mastering, NOT to listen to music (IMHO). -I have tinnitus problems and the highs on these beasts are just... Shrimmingly bright. -Bass is just a tad laid back. So I...

Greetings! As the title suggests, I'm looking to finally replace my 215s, which I've used for a number of years now. Lately, however, I've had serious quality issues with my last two pairs with the plastic/adhesive flaking away over time and poor connection issues with the ridiculously...

After listening to my IE80's for almost 6 months now, I finally decided that they are not really for me. I hate the U-shaped sound signature. The mids seem to be miles away and I feel like they are essentially just Beats headphones but with good treble. I am looking to sell mine. What are some...

Previously I purchased a set of Sennheiser - CX 3.00 Wired Earbud Headphones. When they arrived I was heavily disappointed, no due to noise quality but the inability to keep the earphones in my ear. I tried all the cup sized provided, and it just seems they're made of a firmer material than...

Hello! I am new here. I made an account simply to get help in finding a very oddly specific pair of headphones, and I guess this is the best placd to ask :). I listen to music on a regular basis with my home set-up. I have an amp and a record player, which go out to speakers. But recently a...
