Hi everyone,   I'm looking to purchase a pair of closed headphones that are over ear.   They need to have decent isolation so they don't leak (the outside getting in isn't that much of an issue as it's going to be a quiet place).   They also need to portable, most likely folding for...

Hi folks   so I've seen a lot of stereo amplifiers with headphone out, and just wondering how effective are these headphone out ports on them? Some stereo amplifiers aren't that expensive when bought used, but is the headphone amplifier component any good, if the headphone out even works as...

Hi everyone.    I'm looking for a new amp+dac combo. I plan to use it at home exclusively so I have 3 options that I like.  1. Maverick Audio Tubemagic D1+DAC 2. JDS Labs O2+ODAC  3. Schiit Audio Magni + Modi. I am open to any suffestions that you have.   So at the moment, I am using the...

Hi people. So you've clicked on this thread with interest.  Well yesterday I visited a store called Diaso in Sydney. It's a store in which everything is $2.80 no matter how big or small. Nice shop for getting objects such as kitchenware and maily homeware stuff.    So while browsing the...

So the title kinda explains itself.    Might just chuck in soundstage in there as well while you think about what they are.   Anyways, I own the Q701 and also the HM5, and apparently they're pretty flat and neutral. But some say that the Q701 has a huge soundstage that's un-naatural and...

Hello friends,   looking for someone to tell me what they think of these 2 headphones. I'm looking for something that's very neutral and accurate. The Alpha Dog is a bit more expensive, but if price wasn't a factor, and just based on sound which one would you guys pick?    Thanks

Hi friends,   so at the moment, I'm looking to upgrade from the E11 to the E17, but I'm not really sure if it's worth it so I wanted to get the opinions of those who own either or both the devices.   So my current set up that I like using is a Sandisk Sansa Clip Zip with AKG Q701s. Just...

Hi everyone   I'm looking for new pads for the Audio Technica Pro700MK2 headphones since the stock ones are just super uncomfortable.  So far I know that the M50 pads work. But I did some reading and someone said that you need to "glue" the pads to the haedphone as they fall off after...

Hey there   looking for a new set of headphones for travelling.  I'm not really looking for IEMs since I prefer headphones a lot more. I'm looking for something portable and strong under $200 with solid construction, detachable cable, foldable, and a case (doesn't need to be hard).  So far...

Just wondering of your opinions http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666422743#features In my opinion, these look pretty good taking into consideration the price. Only $30. Budget headphones at their best...

ok sorry guys this probably isn't the right place for this...but i didn't know where else to put it   So just like 10 mins ago, i had this revelation. I was playing a .flac file of Smooth Criminal by MJ using VLC media player through my HM5s(because i have nothing else to play .flac...

Hi everyone   just got my HM5s and straight away unboxed them and took pictures. Sorry about the poor image quality, I don't really have a good camera, hence, some of the detail is lacking and parts of the images are blurry .  Technically the HM5s don't come in a box. The come straight...

Hi guys,   Ok, I've pretty much settled it down to these two headphones which are in my price range and are probably the best value for money (by my searching and lurking on the site)   the AD700 are ranked 14th on this site while the FA-003 are 10th! (I'd never even heard of the brand...

Hi all   I'm new of course, signed up just to post this since everyone here seems to know everything. I'm looking for a new pair of audiophile headphones. I'm kinda a wanna-be i suppose wanting to become an audiophile and having excellend headphones So far, i've narrowed it down to the...
