    Hello, I am selling a pair of Shure SRH940 headphones. They are in excellent condition (please see the photos) and in full working order. They come with the original packaging and accessories. These headphones sound really great, but I have hardly ever used them, as I am rarely at home and use...

    CIEM vs IEM with ANC - Isolation

    Hello, I have been looking for a new pair of IEMs for commuting and the gym and I was considering getting either the Bose QuietComfort Ultra or Sony WF-1000XM5 ear buds which both have Active Noise Cancelling (ANC). However, I have a pair of CIEMs which had very good isolation, but are currently...

    IEMS with Similar Sound to WH-1000XM3

    I bought a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones several months ago, as I needed something with good noise cancelling for watching TV etc. at home (I have nice but very noisy neighbours). At first, I didn't like the sound signature as I always preferred "bright" earphones, but now they have really...

    DAC Recommendation for Samsung S22

    Does the Fiio affect the sound signature at all of your IEMs or headphones?

    DAC Recommendation for Samsung S22

    So I finally had to give up on my LG G8X, as the battery had almost died and I couldn't get it replaced. I decided to replace it with a Samsung S22 phone. Does anyone have any recommendations for a portable DAC? I would need something small enough for commuting and the gym. I like a bright sound...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    Am I correct that Vivo no longer includes a dedicated DAC in their phones? I cannot see any mention of one for the X70 range etc.

    Hello, I purchased these headphones in August 2021 and only ended up using them for a few hours. There is nothing wrong with them, but I just prefer my Shure SRH940 headphones and I do not need two sets of headphones and my in-ear monitors. The headphone are in excellent condition and come...

    Closed-Back Headphones with Forward Vocals

    I went with the Shure in the end, because it has a detachable cable and I read it had better isolation than the Sony. It arrived today and the sound is more or less exactly what I was looking for. Vocals in particular are forward like I wanted. Thank you again for the recommendation.

    Closed-Back Headphones with Forward Vocals

    Thank you again. Have you by any chance heard the AKG K361 or K371? If yes, how do they sound and are they anything like what I am looking for in terms of sound signature?

    Closed-Back Headphones with Forward Vocals

    Thank you for the recommendations. I did some research on the Shure and Sony and I think they would suit me; the Sony probably more. I don't suppose there is anything with a sound signature similar to either of those which has a wireless option? Many thanks.

    Closed-Back Headphones with Forward Vocals

    So I have been looking for a pair of closed-back headphones which have a sound similar to the Grado house sound and I have not had any luck. I liked bright earphones with forward vocals. I was wondering if there were any recommondations for closed back headphones with forward vocals...

    The Best Passive Isolating Universal IEMs thread

    I just stumbled across this thread. Does anyone have any recommendations for an IEM with very good isolation which has a bright sound signature but decent bass? I have already tried the Etymotic series. Thank you.

    Help with IEM Cable

    Hello, I am hoping someone can help me with what is probably a basic question. Despite looking after my custom IEM cable, the left side became frayed / split (please see the picture below). I tried repairing this with some electrical tape, but it clearly did not work, as it peeled away and there...

    Wireless Ear Buds with Neutral / Bright Signature

    Thank you all for the responses. I actually ended up buying the BT20S and it has been working really well. I will consider getting the AKG N400 if they are released in my country, as their sound signature sounds like it would suit me.

    Wireless Ear Buds with Neutral / Bright Signature

    Thanks for the responses. I would rather not buy an adapter, as I tried using a friend's before and didn't it comfortable when wearing glasses. I am not concerned with how isolating the ear buds are and an IEM is fine. The important thing is the sound. Yes and sorry I meant true wireless stereo.

    Wireless Ear Buds with Neutral / Bright Signature

    Hello, as the title says I am looking for a pair of wireless ear buds with a neutral / bright signature. Something similar to the Etymotic sound. I have tried out a few different ear buds, but the sound is too warm for me. In terms of design, I would prefer something that sits in the ear...

    3D Ear Impression Scans - UK

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I thought I should respond and let people know that unfortunately Snugs referred me to Hearology, but unfortunately they are not doing 3D scans at the moment. So I will contact Gisele.

    Focal Clear headphones

    There are lots of jobs where employees are not allowed to listen to music while they work. My team isn't allowed to do it, not because I am some sort of an ogre but because it is my employer's policy.

    Focal Clear headphones

    I actually auditioned the Clear with the V30 as well as the in-store equipment. It sounded decent out of the V30. There was a difference when I used the hi-fi system provided by the store, but there wasn't the large gap I've had with some other headphones. The V20 and V30 have always...

    Focal Clear headphones

    No worries. I honestly listen to a bit of everything, except classical and country (and I like a few songs from those genres). Mostly pop-rock, hip-hop and R&B. My preferred sound signature is pretty dynamic with clear vocals slightly forward of the music, but not shouty. What is it you...
