HD800's not doing it for me, any recommendations? (reasons explained inside)
So I'm not particularly impressed with the build quality of the HD800s for the price paid. The cable is weak, it died really quickly and the replacement cables cost an arm and a leg. The headband has its notches all snapped and so it doesn't sit on the top of the headset properly anymore, needs...- eater

IEM recommendations <£1000
I've been lurking and reading various threads, and it seems that at the higher end there is no consensus on a 'best' IEM. Much of it seems to come down to personal preference and the sound signature that appeals to each individual. Still, I'm going to ask for some thoughts, and try and provide...- chris10

My ath-m40x is falling apart... best upgrade?
Hi everyone! The title says most of it. I've used my ath-m40x so much in the last two year that they are now falling apart entirely. They will be unusable in a week, maybe less (though I could extend that with another shot of glue, that's how far I am). Overall I loved them they were a slight...- MrDisco1

Upgrade from HD598, mainly listen to classical
I'm looking for a headphone that's very good for classical music (neutral + big sound stage + clarity). My current setup includes a HD598 and an FX-Audio X-6 DAC and amp. Myself, being a cheap student, am struggling to justify spending the amount needed for the HD600 or the 650's (that's food...- Andrew Seto

$DEFUNCT$
Hello all, So I am currently considering buying a new pair of earbuds/IEMs and don't know what to get. There are numerous options out there and so many of them seem to just barely fit what I need while others not so much.

Upgrade from JVC HA-RX700... $200
Greetings all. I'm in the market for an upgrade. My current JVC HA-RX700's (stock) have been a joy for the past 6 years. Other than the padding flaking off, they have been real troopers for me. I'm ready to possibly retire them. I listen to a wide range of music genres: rock, electronic...- Caustic Fox

IE80 again or upgrade?
Hey all, After exactly 5 years, my IE80s are very worn out and the eartip twists off easily - though probably easily fixable if I just superglue it a bit as it twists back on fine and doesn't come off if I twist it counterclockwise off. Previously it was held by some rubber on the inside so...- ich1ban
