Hey everyone. I got a Utopia from the Classifieds on here at the end of last year and I absolutely adore them but ever since I got them I noticed something a little odd happening. I know it’s common for the headband to make creaking noises, but what’s really strange is that the plastic of the...

For starters, I know that there is a TON of debate on what sonic differences a DAC and an amp can make to a set up. And to be honest, I'm not one to really know or care. I don't want to waste my time going back and forth listening for what should be minute differences between DACs and amps. And...

Hey everyone, could use some advice here. I'm going through a bit of a crisis! Last year, I got Focal Clears (OG) as my end game and I love them dearly. I enjoy listening to them all the time, hell sometimes I miss them when I'm not using them! Coming from the already great HD6XX and Sundara...

Hello fellow Head-Fiers. I'm hoping I can get some direction from y'all on a dilemma. I recently started getting into IEMs, I've had the Blessing 2 Dusk for about five months now. I really like them! At the time though, I couldn't decide if I should jump straight to a U12t, or start off with a...

Hey all, hoping I can get some folks to help me here. I’ve been researching IEMs almost non-stop for the past month or so. I think because I’m fully satisfied with my at home setup of Focal Clear as an open back and Emu Ebony as a closed back. In both cases, I have no desire to go any further...

Lately for whatever reason I've become interested in IEMs. Probably because I'm happy with my full-sized setup and this is my favorite hobby so I need to keep myself entertained lol! Hopefully, I don't just have upgrade-itis here... Anyway, for headphones I own Focal Clear (primary open back)...

Hi everyone! I think I want to upgrade my setup. Lately I’ve had both the Focal Clear and Focal Celestee on my mind a ton but I have some questions/concerns. Right now, I have HD6XX, Sundara, EMU Ebony and K371 as my main rotation. I would likely sell all of those but the Ebony just because...

Hi all, I’ve been a user here for some time; I currently own the HD6XX, ER4XR, Beyer DT 177X Go, and B&O H6 Gen 2. I use closed backs most often so that’s where I’m really actively searching for the best I can afford for some time. I like both my 177X Go and H6 a lot. But at the time, I wasn’t...

I got a pair of headphones recently and I really like the way they sound except for one thing; it seems to be on rare occasions, I’ve only found a few songs as an example, but sometimes vocals sound a bit strange. I don’t know how to describe it really; almost coarse and not smooth in the upper...

Calling out to owners of the Fostex TR-X00/TH-X00 series, These are headphones I have been interested in for a really long time, particularly the Ebony. However, the one thing that's continued to hold me back is the apparent lack of isolation, and that they act more as a semi-open than a closed...

New AKG/Harman headphones that are currently getting a lot of hype in audiophile corners. Surprised I haven’t seen a dedicated thread on these yet. Don’t know if this post would be considered that; I’m just wondering if anyone here has had the chance to give these a try and what they think...

I was sitting today and wondering...don’t know why I thought of it but I thought it was a good question; can headphones change the way they sound as they get older, and if they do are the changes noticeable? I’m not talking about the burn in theory; I mean a headphone that’s gotten about 5 years...

So, I got the Magni 3 last year in September to go with my new HD6XX, not much was known about the Atom yet and the Magni was still considered the best budget amp, especially for the Senns. But now that the Atom has been out it’s been getting outstanding reviews and is now the value amp king...

Hi guys! A lot of my headphone use is at work so it's important that I have the phone that's best for me. I have a B&O H6 2nd Gen as my work headphone. I like them and I think they sound very good but I know I can do better. I guess with this headphone, while I found the signature enjoyable...

Hi! I'm thinking of buying a new earbud/IEM for use primarily at the gym. I use over ears at home and work (HD6XX and B&O H6 respectively, love both). Currently I have the Beyerdynamic Byron Wired earbud that I use at the gym and they are quite good and I like the sound. However, I find that the...

I recently bought an HD6XX and Magni 3 and I love the combo. What really surprised me, however, was how great my H6 Gen 2 sounded with the Magni 3. I did some comparing today between the iPhone and Magni 3, and I’m still not entirely sure if it’s just a placebo but I feel like it turned the H6...

Hi, I have the H6 2nd Gen and I like them a lot. I got them as I needed a closed back headphone that was easy enough to carry around and not too big. Among many recommendations I received I felt they would be the best fit for me, as they were praised for their neutral sound, airy treble and...

Hi! I got DT 770 Pro 32 ohms about a month ago. They sound great! Pretty dang bright out of the box, I was actually thinking about selling them, but it seems to have gotten much better. I actually like the treble. I feel these have a nice balanced sound, even though they’re v shaped it all...

Hi, About a month ago I decided to replace my M50x with the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 32 ohm. Now, let me preface this by saying that I think they are a very good headphone but there is one part of the sound signature I don’t think I will be able to get over and it’s that treble peak. Great...

HI forum! I'm coming off of a pair of M50x's that I've had for a few years that had gotten very uncomfortable over time. Some days I could tolerate it but other days I could hardly stand the discomfort. I think it's because they lost their clamp and now they sit on my head funny. They sit loose...

Hi all,    I'm considering putting my M50x's to rest. I first bought them a little over two years ago and loved them. I loved the deep bass, clear highs and overall exciting sound signature they brought while still remaining relatively neutral and I had 0 issues with comfort but the key thing...

Hey all, this is my first post here. I figured a headphone forum would be a great place to ask such a question :)   Anyway, I've owned a pair of ATH-M50x headphones for about 2 years, and for the price they were, I think they are fantastic. The sound is great, and when I first began wearing...
