New to headphones
I need a pair that:
Does not let sound out (So people cant hear my songs on the bus)
I can wear for long periods of time (seven hours for example)
Stops me from hearing the noise going on around me (So I only hear my music)
And that is affordable 41 GBP OR 63 USD
 
The headphones you recommend must at least have one of these qualities

Hi, audio noob here. I've been lurking for about a week or so just reading up on everything and now decided to join up.
 
What I have atm are V-Moda M80s and Meelectronic M6 Pros. Thinking of going for a big upgrade soon.

Greetings I am new here as well.  I am thinking of upgrading my audio experience and thought this would be a great place to start.
 
I have been reading a lot of reviews here on DAP and DAC/headphone Amp.  Am I right to think of the following in terms of a HiFi set up:
 
DAP = CD Player
DAC/headphone Amp = Amplifier
 
And if I only intend to use my iPhone as a DAP, is it worth it to get a DAC/headphone Amp?
 
Would really appreciate any inputs from you guys.

Hey guys,
 
Just signed up now and looking forward to be a part of this forum. Recently purchased a paid of Beyerdynamic T90 Jubilees, which broke within 3 days of purchase, so had to take them back and now I'm on the look out again for a new pair to go with my existing setup. 
 
Currently have:
 
Marantz PM6005
B&W CM5 speakers
Project Audio 2xpression SB turntable
 
I have plenty to learn still, so hope to get some good advice here and in share my experiences and advice.

Hello there! I love my Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (250ohm) and have had them paired with a fiio e10 amp/dac for almost 5 years now.

I saw that the Manufaktur price went down a bit and am considering some 600ohm custom 990s.

I wanted to ask a few simple things.

1. 600 should surely sound better, right?

2. For novelty in sound amplification and maybe as a pre-amp too, I have been looking at the little Dot MK2 on Amazon (200$ vs 340$ MK3), and was wondering what you guys thought about this guy and the 990/600s.

3. Any sub-200 amps for if I want to venture on using the MKII as pre-amp? Fiio e10 DAC ---> mkii -----> amp.

Oh and one last thing, I read that you should almost max out Windows' volume and to control the amp for preference, I wanted to ask, why? Also, I did this with the 990 Pro, maxxed volume and it was so loud that I couldnt get it pass 2-3 on volume knob from the e10. (Out of 9-10?!) strong little amp, right?! So then, the 990/600 should have no problem at all being powered by just the e10?


Thanks so much guys! Really appreciate it.

Hi My name is Bunk
 
This is my first post.  I'm trying to figure out to start a new thread for headphone recommendations.  I searched and read the wiki but still can't figure it out.  It would be great if someone can help me out with this.  Thanks!
