Hi everyone. I am looking for my first set of desktop speakers. So, I searched the web for over 100 hours looking for desktop speakers and decided to go for the Swans OS-10. However, while offering a very clear sound, they are too boring for my taste and I will have to return them. Also they...

Hello all! I'm seeking a recommendation for Bluetooth headphones, now that Bluetooth audio compression technology has improved. Currently, I use Momentum over-the-ear headphones for outdoor use and HD 598 headphones at home. I am looking to replace the outdoor ones for three reasons: I prefer...

Hello, so my trusty Cooler Master MH751 swivel hinge is broken, and though maybe i can fix it, i bought it around 2018 and i think it's time for a replacement. I love my MH751's sound profile and i almost thought about just getting another pair of gaming headset, but i do want to try out other...

I love the sound of my Hifiman Edition XS, but I am beyond disappointed in the build quality for a 500 dollar product. Not only do they just feel chintzy, but now they have developed an audio distortion issue in less than a year of use. I had the original HE400s back in the day, and while they...

In 2020, I bought a HD6XX and a Schiit Modi/Magni Stack to power them, at the time about 200$ for both. A while later I purchased an HD8XX on sale, I'm thinking my old stack might be too underpowered and I have some time to save up for a decent tube amp to power them, and I've heard that tubes...

I have: iFi ZenDac V2, and an Audioquest Dragonfly Red. Were I to spend up to the +/- $1,000 mark, what would provide the most notable change for the better? Is that enough to spend to notice a change? I'm still figuring out what I like, but most of my headphones tend toward the warm side of...

My old Hifiman he400 broke (original blue version, not the se or the i) and I'd like to get a new set of cans but its been a while since I've looked. I loved the sound of the he-400, although I always thought the design was lacking (tight headband, and the ear pads should have been thicker)...

Hello everyone, So I have been using my Bl03 for more than a year. It was my first and only IEM that I possessed and it was a fantastic experience ! So natural and balanced. I am so happy I chose Blons over many because people here recommended and I just followed your recommendations, no...

I have a pretty solid understanding about the IEM world, but am pretty clueless when it comes to headphones. As I feel like 1000 dollars is the threshold for stepping into "higher-end" IEMs/headphones, what would you guys say are the best headphones at/around that 1000 dollar price point?

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for some comfortable closed-back headphones I can take around with me to use in an office setting or just for traveling in general. Ideally I'm looking for headphones around the $800 mark. I'm looking for a pair that provides great isolation while still...

Good day! So, I bought ibasso dc03 from the local shop last week but I still have some troubles choosing IEMs. ( yeah I know, weird to buy a DAC first ) I read a lot about the new Kbear Lark and Fiio FD1 but couldn't decide which one should I get. I look for clarity, sound stage and some...

Hey All. Sorry, I'm fairly new here so I'm not massively clued in on the terminology or rules, so please bare with me. I am looking for a little help, if anyone would be willing. I'm currently using a pair of Massdrop x Sennheiser HD58X headphones. Generally speaking, I think they're...

Maybe it is because they sold out to different manufacturers. So I am looking for new IEMs up to about €100 , or perhaps a little more. Since 100 bucks is quite a lot for a bit of plastc, rubber, copper and aluminum, but yet is concidered an entry level price in this forum, this might be the...

I was considering the Monoprice Monolith MM-3 but those seems to cut out at low listening levels. So I'm currently looking at the Fluance AI40. Any advice on this matter? Any recommendations or suggestions? It would be really appreciated.

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...

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...

After browsing amazon for a while and seeing that the price of a behringer UM2 has inflated so much, I'm currently considering a M-Audio AIR 192|6 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YYX7K6R). Which I think is kinda overkill for my needs right now and for the cheap mic I'm going to use for the time...

For the last couple of months I have been stuck with quite a dilemma: I have quite the experience with IEMs and have more or less refined my taste with them, but I don’t have a fraction of an idea of what headphones would suit my preferences and be able to give me an equivalent, if not better...

As a Noob to headphones , tube amps, DACs etc I was looking for advice as to ow to set up my audio chain with regards to volume settings. Which elements in the chain should be set to high volumes to get the best results. My equipment will be :- Windows 10 Laptop using Musicbee which will...

Sorry.. this is the incorrect forum for this if a mod would kind enough to move it to the help section. Hello, I mostly lurk around here and have posted in a few sections. My wife and I realized we need a set of headphones for our kids when they're using their iPads while traveling. We are...

Hi All, I'm trying to find a few people who have similar musical tastes as I do, along with a similar setup. I do most of my listening on my LGV30 via FLAC files, and my core musical tastes are Dinosaur Jr, Buffalo Tom, Uncle Tupelo (and the various offshoots), Mountain Goats, and Mazzy Star...

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...

Hello. I want to ask for some Amp/Dac recommendations of more competent music listeners (than me :D). I bought Meze 99 Neo almost a month ago and pairing them with LG v30+ improved my music listening from what I had before significantly. (I use Tidal Hi-Fi, listen mostly to rock and metal). So...

Please recommend me under $400 headphones that sound different from Audioquest Nightowl that I can enjoy with the type of music I listen to. Thank you! I'm looking at: HD 600 HD 650 HD 6xx HD 58x HE 4xx AKG K712 I got into this hobby with a demo model Audioquest Nightowl, O2 amp and...

Hey! I would like some recommendations on what headphone amp I should buy. Headphones it will power: HiFiMAN HE4XX Beyerdynamic DT770 Verum 1 Future purchases might include Sennheiser HD600/HD650 or more planars like Sundara. Features it needs: Low output impedance, less than 2ohm, preferably...
