Hi! In search for a new bass-focused budget IEM, the Soundmagic ES30 caught my attention for just 12€, but searching for reviews lead me nowhere, but reviews of the different E30. Does anyone have/had the ES30? How do they sound for the price?

Hello There! I'm currently looking to buy a wired IEM to use with a Quest 2 VR Headset, mainly for Beat Saber, so music performance(especially EDM and pop) is important, alongside a secure fit and minimal cable noise. My budget isn't really high, $50 tops, and I'm in Europe, so choices are...

Hello Head-Fi, as I already said in the title, I want to buy a nice pair of cans for under 200€. I want them to be open-back and more on the bassy side. I do not own either an amp nor a DAC yet, but if needed, I may be able to extend the budget accordingly. I will not order from countries that...

I currently use the m50x, they sound ok but not very impressive. I don't exactly know my preference in the tuning. But I like how the 7hz timeless sounds, same with Mangird tea's. I know that headphones don't sound the same as iems but i like tuning of them. I mostly listen to rap. I prefer them...

Hi, everyone! My username is Cacodemomania, but you can call me Caco, CDM, Big C, or Cacodemomania. Anything really, except C Man. That was a mistake. One of you is going to call me C Man now. I feel stupendously ignorant. My goal: to get most distance out of as few a steps as possible. I have...

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...

Hello, this is my first post on this website :) I'm currently a university student and I live in Indonesia. I need a bit of help on deciding which headphones I should buy, an AKG K701 or ATH-A900. Why these headphones? I found both of these headphones on sale in the used market and I've grown...

Hello everyone, The cable of my P180 earbuds is starting to fail, so before buying a new pair of them, I would like to buy (if there is) an upgrade to them. The only requisite is to have that bassy sound P180 have and to be wired earbuds (not IEM). Today I tested my brother's IEM Moondrop Aria...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for an IEM under $175 CDN (I'll explain why later) and a sub $100 IEM for my sister (though I might already have it). For my sister I bought a CCA C10, but it's so uncomfortable I'm already thinking about the process of returning it. The earbuds are either so big...

I've noticed for a while a very faint crackling/hiss on certain sounds in some songs. I can best describe it as similar to a crinkle of a plastic candy wrapper. Kinda faint crackle/hiss. Seems to only happen at high-end sounds. I can replicate this on both my mobo's DAC from an Asus x570 prime...

Not sure where else to post this, but my SRM-1 Mk2 Pro has developed an infernal left-channel hum/buzz (sounds like a very quiet 60hz sawtooth wave) that is dependent on position of the volume potentiometer. I Thought it was a problem with a filter cap at first (electrolytic, installed a few...

My Bl03 has a driver flex and I think it's because of the vent being blocked by my ear. Some say it's the death of an IEM. :( If it is indeed so, I have low hopes for it being replaced so I'm looking ahead now for possible fixes. One of it is to reshell the drivers into a more agreeable...
