noob

The KSC75 are my first headphones not bought from a gaming company and I like them a lot. I've modded them with Grado pads and detachable cables, but now I want to give them some company. However, I'm not sure exactly how much an upgrade would cost after looking at online consensus around them...

Hello! My yuin pk2 stopped working on the right side. I was think if replacing the wire for this one would be possible. If its possible I'd need to get soldering equipment, right? Or its possible (even if its not the ideal) to do this without soldering equipment? I have no experience on 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...

I bought the iBasso DC03 DAC AMP item as an introduction to high quality sound and have spent 4 or 5 hours trying to get it to work on my 3 devices. It has worked at least once on each, but repeating what caused it to work wouldn't work again. So I am wondering if it is a defective unit before...

Hi, I'm a noob searching for a new headphone after my ATH M40X, really good by the way but a bit dull after a few years of use. I'm using it only on my computer, I don't care about portability but I care about the quality of build, I still hate the Razer Kraken for it's poor quality. I'm looking...

** Edit - Thanks for the help and info. I ordered 2 pairs of 58x, one for my own upgrade over the 599, and 1 for the gift. ______________________ Hello. I am currently wondering which of these would be better for a 1st pair of headphones for someone thats not use to any kind of headphone or...

Hello All :) First off its great to be part of a helpful and insightful community with similar interests. This is my first posting here so apology's in advance if it sounds like I am unsure of what I am talking about. I am looking to purchase a portable DAP for playing my FLAC collection but...

First time poster and total noob, looking for advice on purchasing my first set of headphones. Well, my first pair since those old Magnavox's I used to rock out to KISS 8-tracks when I was five. I've read countless reviews and have lurked on this forum for a while (great stuff, thank you), but...

Hi all, very newbie question, I recently ordered some headphones to try out and decide which ones I liked the most. Here are the headphones: Sennheiser HD650 HIFIMAN HE400i Beyer DT990 My plan is to return the ones I do not like as much, hopefully keeping one pair that I settle on. I also...

Received my La Figaro 339 tube amp yesterday, but it has a problem. Everything works (tubes light up, power on, sounds does come through) except the audio; it is largely crackling, and the music is very faint. I’ve tried changing tubes around etc so I think it is a circuit problem. The problem...

Hello guys I've been really impressed with my first Open-Back Headphones (ATH-AD700X). I am in no way an audiophile, but have been lurking the forums and specifically bought these headphones for gaming use only. Now I want to step outside with them but the cables are super long unfortunately ...

I am a musician but do not call myself an audiophile. I am however interested in getting the best sounding set-up for the price and this forum seems to know what they are talking about. I have a pair of akg k702s that I have used for years without an amplifier, and while reading posts on this...

My only reference is the Audio Technica M50x. I liked them, but after my second pair broke (it's a small stop on the headphone to allow the cup to stay in place on your ear) I decided it's time to step up. There are no audio places nearby that allow me to test the sound, so hoping for some...

Hey guys, im a complete noob when it comes to anything audio, but i'm learning! (slowly) I'm going to pick up a pair of Sennheiser HD598 and a Mod-mic and I was wondering if I should get a DAC/AMP combo or maybe even a sound card? All I currently have for Audio in my PC is my mobo's (Asus...
