My family constantly harangues me about not knowing what to get me for gifts.    I like my current cans quite a bit (AD900X), but do feel they just a bit thin.  I'm no basshead by any means, but I would like a fuller sound.   I only listen at my computer and am running everything through a...

I all ready have sone Sony Mdr 800 which I love, but fancy trying something different for gaming and movies. What do you recommend please?

Simple really, of all Grado releases which has the largest cup volume?

I don't have the ability to test the Philips Fidelio X1. I'm looking at these two as a HP for mainly home use with some travel use (not so much using on a plane/car, rather a over ear that doesn't require a full amp rig to get enjoyment. Most of the listening will be Concert DVDs, Netflix...

These two headphones have many similarities. Has anyone tried both?

Which would be better for faster electronic and hiphop music? Also, what amp do you use?

Hello i just visited a local audio shop, auditioning headphones (for free, yes free). and this are my quick reviews of headphones i tried. Sennheiser HD800: No way you come into a headphone store and not looking at the Sennheiser HD800, its simply the 'best'. Plugged into a Oppo...

Hello, I was wondering how you clean the X1 headphones. I've had these for about a year and they are in need of some cleaning.   Thanks.

Welcome, and first of all, thank you to Saoshyant and my brother for lending me cans!   Ordered ~by price:: Audeze LCD-2.2F, Hifiman HE-400, Heir Audio 3.ai S, Phillips X1, Sennheiser HD598, AKG Q701, Sennheiser PC 163D, NVX Audio XPT100     I lied. It's 7 for now, until my LCD-2.2F's come...

What do you prefer if you tried both? Also amp or no?

Apologies for creating a new thread, didn't know if the "Looking for advice - post here" thread was still in service, per se. Long story short, I'm looking for a set of headphones to usa almost exclusively at home, and there aren't any places around me that offer any good sets to audition. About...

I just got the Fidelio X1's and they are very nice compared to my Audio Technica ATH-M50s but thats to be expected. I like these as they have very nice sound stage. I kind of want to return these and get the HD650's because I've seen EVERYONE review and like these. If I were to switch I normally...

Hi guys!   I've just purchased a Fidelio X1 and would like to find out some information regarding its set up!   I plan to use this headphone on my desktop for gaming (CSGO, BF4) and listening to music (Pop, Rock, EDM). I have previously purchased a PCI Sound Card for my desktop, the...

i'm stuck between this 2 cans, somebody tried both ??  i love bass but also the clarity and the soundstage,

I'm just wondering how they compare. I'm new to the audio world. My main drivers are the x1s and the shure 1540s sound up my alley but I don't want to buy them if they're too similar. Thanks for looking!

Hello guys, I am new to the world of good audio and hoping to buy my first real pair of headphones. I have done a lot of research and have pretty much narrowed it to Fidelio X1s, HD598, and HD600.   Some things first:   - I am going to be plugging these into a MSI gaming laptop, pretty much...

What are the best bass headphones? This is the hunt for the "Top 10" Bass headphones on the consumer market. The list will be compiled and based on identical set-ups (or similar) and tracks with identical Eq sloping/boosting...

Unlike past Beats releases these have a pretty good build and a good sound for a portable pair of headphones. (Subjective) Many comments on YouTube and other places on-line are quick to dismiss them based on the brand name. So many negative comments were even made when reviewers had...

Hi Everyone,   I listen to all kind of music. I am about to decide whether to get a pair of AKG-Q701 or SoundMagic HP200 or Fidelio X1. I really appreciate if you can share your experience with any of these headphones. Thank you.   KR, Jocas

Hello there Head-fi'ers. I've recently gotten into the hobby and I'm looking to upgrade from my Grado SR60i. I am a very heavy headphone user, wearing them 6-8 hours a day while I work, so comfort is EXTREMELY important. In addition to my Grados, I have a pair of Etymotics ER4p, Klipsch S4i, and...

Hello ppl, i own a pair of Fidelio X1 and also V moda m100.   I m looking for a dac to improve my poor laptop soundcard and i would like that dac to be also a portable player.   After reading tons of reviews i m thinking about fiio x5 and ibasso dx90. I would like to realize which 1 of em...

I got a chance to play with this at Philips's press event in S.F.  Thank you Philips and Jude for setting me up. :)  I hope to get a review sample soon so I can give you more impressions.  Enjoy!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Yelgr0QOQA  

Hello,   A newbie here. I recently purchased DT 880, HD598 and Centrance Hifi-M8. Only DT 880 has arrived, the other two are on the way. I heard that DT 880 and HD598 are great for many genre, so my plan is to keep the one that I like and return the other one.    At the same time, I am also...

I am pretty new to the higher end headphones scene and have pretty much been limited to closed 'phones so far. I am interested in seeing what open 'phones have to offer, too, now. As background I mostly listen to New Age music along the lines of Delerium, Mythos, Amethystium & Enigma with some...

Hei, I am planning on buying a headphone in the next couple of days and is wondering whether to buy the Philips Fidelio X1 or not. It is gonna be used primarily for gaming and I'm worried it will not provide any good "surround quality" aka being able to her where footsteps/explosions originates...
