Hi there... Luc (from the Netherlands) here
 
After a little lurking I thought it was time to "contribute" (read: ask a bunch of questions )
I am actually pretty new to this hi-fi thing and in the market for a few new things (on-ear headphones (portable) and some in ear)...
 
Cheers!
Luc

Aloha, finally signed up and looking forward to finally putting in my two cents' instead of always taking everybody else's.
 
Not sure if I should go through my minor hardware qualifications here or in my profile... does anybody really read 300 posts into the intro threads?

Hello!
My name is Marius, I'd like to join this big growing family of head-fi users.
I like to listen to music ocasionally, to relax; and what better way to relax then with a nice quality music, delivered by a nice quality gear. I use my PC to listen to music and I have a DENON m38dab with it's pair of nice stock speakers. I will also get my Xonar Essence STX as soon I get time to have it delivered from my place.
 
I currently use a pair of Sony MDR ED31LP  which are decent but have a cheap-ish build quality. They served me well though throughout the years, and endured quite some abuse.
I have just ordered a pair of Philips SHL3300 and will use them with my Nexus 5 and my PC onboard soundcard (for now). A portable cheap player is next, as I don't intend to root and abuse my Nexus5 before I get a spare phone.
 
On with the reading now!

Hi there, 
 
I recently just started getting into high end audio stuff.  I wanted a nice set of head phones and not beats or anything like those.  A co worker recommended some Beyerdynamics 770's Pro 80's.  So I went ahead and scored an open box pair off ebay.  I also went ahead and got a FiiO E7 Andes headphone amp to go along with them.  I am new to the whole audiophile grade of headphones.  Not sure what to expect so I am excited to see what they sound like.  I thought I'd give this forum a try and so far I really like all the info I am finding on here.

Hello,
 I am from Singapore and have been reading this forum for past 6 months. I dont think I ever had a question that some one didnt have before....Anyways, long story short, After spending hours on the forums, i bit the bullet and purchased my set from Custom-Cable (the deal was posted in this forum). Thoroughly enjoying the kit. Now the next set of upgrades are the headphones which are currently Shure 215. 
 
Current Setup: AK120 + Shure 215 OR Note 3 + FiiO E18 + Shure 215. 
Music: Indian Classical/Fusion, Rock, Some Metal Tracks, Pop. 
 
 
I was auditioning various headphones, but havent found any to replace my Shure 215. So far, I have auditioned, CTM 500, Westone W40 and did not like the sound. I tried the FitEars (dont remember the model number, was recommended by the sales man) but they were WAYYY out of my budget. Anyways, will continue reading to see what I learn from the fellow members here.

I've been an audiophile ever since i walked into a shop in Tampa playing Chopin on a pair of Magnepan 3.6's backed by Linn Klimax equipment and fell in love. I quickly found out that i could only go so far with a full two channel system without forking out some major cash so gave up for a number of years. I recently started reading threads in Head-fi when i was looking for a (small) upgrade to my $150 Shure IE's which i used to listen to mostly MP3 music at work...... Ended up with Beyer T1's, WOO WA2, and Matrix X-Sabre and am building a decent collection of DSD music. I'm happy to say that i am extremely close to that nirvana i experienced in Tampa all those years ago. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the many reviews and discussions that led me to my new rig.

Hi, everyone.
 
I am no audiophile, however, this seems to be a nice place to visit before investing on a new toy.
 
Fortunately, I will not bother you very often, since I'm a little stingy.

I've finally decided to start contributing after about 6 or 7 months of simply perusing thread after thread. I had no idea there was a gear community of this size out there! I'm a music lover of all kinds and an audio pro with experience in tv, video and radio production. I have a few albums to my credit as well. I have a load of mid-fi gear including the following:
HD650
HD598
DT880 600ohm
DT990 pro
K701
HE400
SR225i
SR80i
Ultrasone Pro900
VModa M80
And a few others... Along with a half dozen amps or so.

This is a fun hobby. I love it. Looking forward to contributing!

Hi Folks,

I finally decided to join the community too. After getting tiered of those 10$ earbuds I startet to get into headphones. Since I went to school that time my budget was quite limited. After a bunch of research I got my Koss PortaPro. That day my addiction started. Next can I purshased was the Superlux HD681 with velour pads for music and gaming. I really enjoyed those cans. After about 2 years of usage I wanted to upgrade. So I had done some research and came to Head-Fi. You guys are simply awesome. Now I enjoy reading the getting started threads for new ideas. Hopefully I can contribute to the community from now on.

Hi all relatively new member here. Been into headphones for a while and thought I'd give this forum a shot. I guess I'll start off by listing some of the things I've tried. Currently I'm running Modded Fostex T50RP headphones with an o2/odac as my source with Beyerdynamic DT990 Premiums as my secondary set mostly for gaming. In the past I have tried Pioneer SE-A1000, Sony MDR7506, Audio Technica M50S, Beyerdynamic DT770, AKG K612, Sennheiser PC360, and Hifiman HE400. I've tried other headphones but those are the only ones I have owned. Looking to get a Fostex TH600 soon. 
 
Oh and I also have a question if anyone would be kind enough to answer: Is there a requirement before I can change my avatar photo? I tried to change it and it says I don't have the permission to do that.
