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...

I am starting to appreciate audio more and started recently listening to soundtracks of movies. My listening gear currently consists of a Sound BlasterX AE-5 and a GSP-600 (32Ω). I am thinking of buying the Beyer DT 990, the 600Ω one. Even though my sound card can drive 600Ω should I still...

I'm new to the whole audio world and I'm looking to buy a new paid of IEM's/Headphones. I've had Shure SE215's and they were great. I bought a paid of KS ZST's because they were cheap, but I find the highs a little too harsh. I've got around $200-$300 AUD to spend. I've been looking into buying...

I'm very new to all of this but have been doing a lot of reading on new headphones but can't decide what to buy. I don't have a DAC or amp. I will mostly use these headphones for gaming (often times competitive shooters like csgo) while on the call with friends and some light music listening or...

Saw a review on amazon of someone complaining about it. Can someone confirm if this is true for these speakers? Or maybe this person just got a defective unit?

As i was doing some research I came across a post (Which I can't seem to find again) where some people said uninstalling OEM drivers (If I remember correctly, in this case they were talking about the Audio Drivers that came with a Dell laptop) and just using Windows Audio Drivers gave them...

My audio setup consists of the tin t3 connected to the fiio M11. I was wondering whether spending money to buy a 4.4mmcx cable is worth it or not. Thanks!

So I have been reading that the HD 6XX works without an amp, (Source: A guy talking about that here on reddit), can some of the knowledgeable people from this forum confirm me this please? It is a big deal to me because I play rhythm games, so I need to avoid dac/amps to achieve the least...

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 I was looking at kz s1, qcy qs2, mpwo flame 2 or mpow h7. I need them to be wireless bc my phone's jack broke and no store will repair it. I could get a micro USB to jack but that's too much of. Hassle for me. I could also buy a cheap mp3 off of AliExpress but I need your guidance. I'm no...

Just curious if the "Unanswered" link was removed on purpose of was it missed when the site was revamped? It is a great way for those of us with some experience to answer new questions.

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...

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...

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...

Hi I use a mojo as a portable DAC. Unfortunately for some reason it's breaking down crazy fast and the micro USB input won't last much longer. Durability is awful. Got an early model I think. USB needs to be angled just right and even then I need to put a lot of force on it for it to not...
