Hey all, I've been using a Massdrop CTH+SDAC combo with my HD650's for a few years. Just picked up the Elex and wanted to see what options are out now that could be considered an upgrade to it for under $600. Really leaning towards a combined DAC/amp unit instead of separate components, and...

Been out of the loop on headphones for a few years, and need a cheap-ish pair to use at work. Looks like there has been an explosion of new over-ear IEMs, but I want something with a wire that hangs straight down (like the 1more triple drivers). Are there any new non over-ear IEMs that are...

I've had the original magni/modi combo for at least 3 years now and I'm looking to upgrade. I was looking at the Jotunheim but I dislike its larger size and I'm wary of getting the same RF interference issues I experienced with the schiit stack. So what are some good recommendations for a...

As the title says I'm looking for a cheap-ish pair of iem's to answer calls with that are compatible with the galaxy s6. I've been using the westone adv alpha for that, but the remote isn't fully android compatible and I don't like the over ears design for answering calls.   A lot of mics I've...

I'm looking to buy the HE-400's, but I want to know if the D4 that I currently have has enough power to drive them properly. I've read that the Hifiman EF2A can drive them and the specs say its power output is 320mw @32 ohms while the D4 outputs 230mw+230mw @32 ohms. How do you compare their...

Hi, looking to upgrade with a $350-400 budget.   I'm looking for fullsized circumaural cans for home use, open or closed doesn't matter. I listen to classical, jazz, rock, hip-hop, and J pop/rock with a lot of vocals. The point that I need clarification on is what sound signature I need...

I'm looking to get a lady friend of mine a pair of iems (and hopefully infect her with the bug ). She mostly listens to classical and C-pop with a lot of vocals, so I'm not looking for anything bassy or with a V-shaped sound. Rather, I'm looking for a detailed phone with slightly emphasized mids...

A bit about myself: I have the HFI-580 as my first pair of headphones, and while I enjoy the V-shaped frequency response, I'm looking to see what other sound signatures have to offer. So for my second pair I'm looking for either closed or semi-open phones with an emphasized midrange, for under...

I'm looking to get my first good set of cans, but I can't decide between the 2 in the title. I'm looking for something that sounds "fun", similar to the hje900 IEMs I have. There isnt much info regarding the O-ones; all I got is that they are basically ultrasone housings with tweaked drivers, so...
