Hello everyone, After my Dunu Studio SA3 broke, I need a new pair of IEMs to daily drive. I really liked how they sound and would like something similar, maybe a little more bass/low mids. I listen to a wide range of genres, from rock, metal, hip hop to trance and techno. They need to be...

So I accidentally ran my new HD 560S with an insane sub-bass boost in EqualizerAPO for about 2 days. My headphones are plugged in directly into my old gigabyte motherboard, no amp whoever volume is not a problem normally my Windows volume is somewhere between 10% and 20%. I didn't know much...

Hi guys, I just bought a pre-owend audio-technica's adx5000. But I found The paint seems to be peeling off here. I bought some marker pen for Gundam from Walmart today but I have no idea how to fix this.

I mainly use earphones when walking around the house doing chores or working in the garden so there are movements all the time. I own an Apple earpod which fit really poorly I have to readjust all the time, but it doesnt have tips that could be why. I will get a new pair of IEMs soon probably...

I have Fiio M11, wanted to use a second SD card, but one slot (here No. 1) does not work, the card is not displayed. It shows up when I put it in slot #2. The card that was displayed and used in slot 2 is not displayed after switching to slot 1.

My old Hifiman he400 broke (original blue version, not the se or the i) and I'd like to get a new set of cans but its been a while since I've looked. I loved the sound of the he-400, although I always thought the design was lacking (tight headband, and the ear pads should have been thicker)...

Hi friends, I'm been on a two-month search for the perfect DAC and amp for my new 6xx. I'm so tired, and the fact that I'll have to pay high taxes and quite a few shipping fees for SCHIIT products, make it even more painful. I have 6xx and Drop PC38x for gaming with a built-in microphone. what...

Hi! I was listening to music when I decided to do some A/B testing between my Aune X1S and an onboard soundcard. I was truly shocked as how much of a difference there was actually, the Aune being much brighter and having a lot of (I think) ringing in the upper range of the frequency spectrum, so...

This is my first post (after introduction) on head-fi. If I have made some mistakes, please bear with me. I have a Sennheiser HD600 which I use with DAC/Amp Fiio EK10. While this setup works great when I'm using it to listen to music on my laptop or watching movies. I was wondering if there is...

Hey all, my old headphones gave up on me after 3 good years and I would like to upgrade! My budget is max 200-250 and like I described in the title I would like the headphones to be suited for jazz/hiphop/lofi. I have a simple FiiO olympus 2 DAC/AMP already so I hope this will be good enough? I...

Im looking for something that will cancel out the heavy mashines i work with but still enables me to hear someone talking to me. I dont know if this is even possible. Price doest matter. Prefered something small so it just sits in the ear instead of the outside. Hope someone can help, if there...

Hello, fellow readers! Did you ever had this sort of problem? "Windows Volume: 20%; AMP knob: 9 O' Clock; Volume pressure measured by a calibrated UMIK-1: 120 DBs" Like *** I can't listen to it at all, it's so loud I think I'm going stupid here. All my previous listening was by listening...

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.

So my beloved samson sr850s died and i can't find any guides on a detachable cable mod for it. If anyone has done this before I could use some advice. I have a 3.5mm female to solder points thingy already.

Hello everyone, I recently came to this forum to talk about stuff hi-fi. So i really want to buy a good pair of Bluetooth Headphones for around 120-155 euro and i find myself on crossroad. I really loved the Marshall Monitor Bluetooth Headphones they seemed just right for me. I mean as a guitar...

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 hope I'm posting in the right place... anyhow: Some of you may know that I've got set on a ZMF Aeolus a while ago, but I still need to create songs and that's where I will always use my DT 1990 Pro. Now, yesterday I did a tone sweep and I found a VERY big peak at 2.2 KHz (2KHz with the B...

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...
