Hi guys, this is my first ever post besides the new member introduction post. I have owned different headphones/earphones in the past: UE900, Westone w40, IE7, IE80, AKG K701, Beredynamic DT 880, Beredynamic Amiron, Sennheiser HD650 (still own), Audeze LCD-3 (still own), etc. I am currently...

I want to upgrade from my neutral R70x'es but all the headphones in this range are either warm, or cold, like the HD800's having high treble peaks and the Hifiman headphones being warm, etc. Anybody know a good headphone between $1000-$1500 ("almost-TOTL" tier?) that is as neutral as the R70x...

Hi - I have been out of the game for years but looking to take another stab. I primarily listen to hip-hop and have about £1000 to spend (~$1100-1200). I am currently listening on a pair of Sennheiser Momentum’s (over ear). Primarily going to be listening stationary at my desk by myself so open...

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...

So I recently bought a pair of mint TH900 for under 600 dollars (got real lucky there). I realize that my current combo is probably not going to drive them well (Schiit Modi Uber 2 + Monolith Liquid Spark). Here are some options that I'm interested in; please give me some advice as to which one...

…if I own a Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (250) ? I'm satisfied with the beyerdynamic, but I want to know whats beyond that. I like them a lot but have to say that they "sound like headphones". But therwise I have heard that open backs can lack a little bit in upper bass freq, and I don't really want...

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...

Hello. I want to get a pair of headphones for around $600, but couldn't find a recommendations list anywhere. I am looking for a closed-back pair of full size headphones. I would prefer it if they came with a case. The impedance is not a deciding factor since I will be using a portable amp (most...

I want to upgrade my audio chain and would appreciate your input. Right now my chain is Tidal on MBP > Focusrite Scarlett > Amiron Wireless (wired), and Focal Elex are on the way. I was looking for consensus on good DAC/AMP combos around $500 and came up to the SMSL M500 and Sabaj D5. Will I...

Hello, backstory: previously i use AT-IM70 iem but i lost it (dont remember exactly where i store them, probably threw it away unconsciously ) i use msr7 daily and i really like its sound signature so is there any iem recommendation under 100$ that sound kinda similar as msr7? at least not too...

Hi fellow headfiers I'm wondering if there is a good time of the year to buy custom in ear monitors? Like Black Friday or labor day is for electronics and what not. Thanks Cheers

Hello everyone, I'd really appreciate some recommendations. I'm looking for mid-high oriented IEMs with clear, detailed, neutral to bright sound, low impedance (the main source will be my phone), good isolation and comfort fit (deep fit is also a plus). The budget is 300$, but can be stretched...

Hello. Please excuse my ignorance as I am new to the hobby. I recently bought a pair of Focal Clear Headphones and a Jotunheim amp/dac to push them. While I love the sound, I am interested what a tube amp or tube hybrid amp would sound like with them. However I keep reading that certain tube...

Hi guys! I need help with choosing IEMs under $500. I'm using my Samsung Galaxy S9+ with AudioQuest DragonFly Black v1.5 and Meze 99 Classics, but it's not always possibility to use this "giant" headphones. It's ok when I'm in office, but on street it's not comfortable. What I found is Dunu...

Hey all, I've been searching for new headphones to replace my second pair of ATH-m50s for months now. I loved the things but the second pair just broke and I think it's finally time for an upgrade. I record ambient music, so the more neutral, the better, though I'm far from opposed to more...

After years of interest, I'm finally in a place to start this audiophile hobby. I recently bought an AT-LP120-USB for a great deal. Problem is I dont have anything else and my tastes have changed since I last did massive research. Looking for amp, headphone, and DAC reccomendations, in that...

So as title says, I'm looking for IEMs that have: - Great, wide soundstage - Great vocals/mids - Great clarity. Instrument separation/Details - OK bass (accurate, powerful. Not muddy or boomy) and highs (controlled, free of harshness). - Good Isolation. I have around 400 USD. Willing to buy...

Hi all! Just looking for some advice. I'll preface with the fact that I am quite new but am doing my research as I go along. I have had a pair of RHA T20is for 2 1/2 years and the cable is now starting to fall apart. I really enjoyed the sound of the RHA but can't really analyse the specifics...

I really like the sound from flc8s, In $200-$300 range i think this IEM is a beast, even under $500 this iem stil the best for all round But, there is time a had thinking for upgrade from FLC8S, trying to find sound signature V shaped with good impact bass for Mainstream, rock and EDM I can...

Hey guys, I’m new so let me introduce myself first: Johannes, 21, living in Munich, Germany, founding a startup among other things but also love making beats - working on a hip-hop album with others. And I’m searching for my dream pair of over-ear headphones (my ears don’t like sticking stuff...

It is my first post, so if there is any wrong, please let me know. I have been wondering amount these headphones and I have already heard Ananda. Personally I would say Ananda is transparent, balanced and etc. which differs not too much from my K812. I do understand that listening to headphones...

Current system: Source -> Amazon Echo Link DAC -> Peachtree DAC iTx Amp -> JDS Labs O2 Headphones -> Sennheiser HD650 What would be the biggest bang for the buck upgrades here (excluding the Echo Link which I just bought and need for convenience in my setup)?

I'm looking to buy a wireless headset for tv streams, games and the occasional movie. Amiron and Mobius come to mind, but I haven't found a good comparison yet. Are there other headsets that I should consider under 1000€? Currently I'm using a Philips X2 with a no-name usb sound card since my...

I need help finding good headphones that I can use for watching movies/series, listening to music and a little gaming. I've done some digging and was not able to find an answer that I am confident in, or that could make me feel like the headphones I am looking at is the ones I should buy. Just...

Hey all any chance I could get a recommendation on what the best headphones for under $600 that produce powerful accurate bass that doesn't necessarily overpower the mids and highs. My current setup is the Oppo HA-2 SE, Sennheiser 6XX combo. While I like the accurate mids and highs I find a big...
