Hello there, you wonderful community. It’s been too long. I come to you today with my dilemma. The left driver of my beloved Mee Audio M9 Classic has officially kicked the bucket as of last night. It was a good 3 years, however. I initially purchased them as part of the Mee Audio drop box on...

As the title states, looking for the best IEM for my tastes around the $100 USD price point. I know this is like the 10,000th thread on the same topic, but I have spent hours between the forums here with various topics (chi-fi, name branded, etc.) but I keep leaving with more questions than...

Hello all, It has been a while since my last official Head-Fi entry, but today, I have a good one that will hopefully spark up a good discussion. This year has seen the widespread release of the Monoprice Monolith M1060 planar magnetic headphones. Upon its release, the immediate response was...

Hello everyone! This will be my first time posting here in the Cables + threads. I just wanted to talk about Zu Audio and how awesome they are. One week ago, I had sent in both of my cables to them (Mobius II and Mission) and they sent them back within one weeks time, with new connections...

Hello, Head-Fi, it's been a while. Glad to be back. I'm considering getting myself *finally* a set of Sennheiser HD650's. I already have 2 mid-fi's that I adore: the AKG Q701 and the Audio Technica AD900. I'm currently running a Schiit Audio Magni amp to power either one. But for comparisons...

This weekend, I decided to get crafty with my headphone storage and put them on display and save space at the same time. All while looking absolutely stunning. I picked up the hangers at my local Home Depot, they're 3 for $10 and hung up 12 hooks total to put 12 sets of my headphones on display...

Very recently, I've stepped back into the world of Head-Fi, and I've rediscovered my obsession for modifying headphones. Whether its for aesthetic purposes, adding comfort or for modified sound, I love doing it. I know that there are lots of you out there that share this obsession. Post them up...

Hello Head-Fi! I am officially BACK! It's been about a year, I've been busy, but I've recently managed to find time to get back to one of my true passions, headphones. On to the review! * Note: I know these are not "new" headphones anymore, but I never got to express my feelings towards these...

Cutting to the chase here, I need a new amp (under 100 bucks) that can connect to a mobile device or computer, and yet will run my new 1/4 inch Zu Modded Q701's. Or will just a simple 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter work with a FiiO E11? Will there be much SQ loss if so? What sound difference...

Pretty straightforward. Looking at upgrading my stock q cable to the Möbius Zu II, and thus, I need a quarter inch amp to fit it. Ill need the input to be able to connect to mobile devices and computers, so 3.5mm, but the output must have a 1/4 inch connector. I like my Q's for electronic...

Today, I splurged the second most amount of money for a pair of headphones (I'm getting rid of all of my vintage stock, just for 1 or 2 new ones) on the Audio-Technica AD700, a headset with boom mic (which will be used on the headphones, and some Velcro to attach it all. 100 bucks is the total...

So, I got a call from one of my favorite thrift stores yesterday. They said they had a pair of vintage Audio-Technicas. So, I rushed to the shop and picked them up for 9 bucks. They hardly had any nicks or scratches on them, and they look spectacularly vintage.   I went home and got my...

So, I recently spotted a pair of broken Sony XB500's on eBay for $15 and snagged them for cannibalization. The pads were in good condition, which was a huge plus. On the downside, they came from a heavy smokers home, so they do smell a bit. Anyway, here is a picture of them half taken apart:  ...

First post like this for me. I'm just curious, is there any cable out there for my Q701 that is less than $100 that would enhance the sound? And if so, in what ways would it improve my sound? My current setup is an ASUS Xonar - FiiO E11 - Q701 (stock cable). So, I would like it to terminate to a...

So, after only 1 year, my Red Wave pads are cracking and pitting. I have headphones 25+ years old with zero cracks, so this is new to me. The pads have always been hard to the touch, not plushy at all. Because of this they have always slid around on my head. I like plushy and comfortable...

Hello once again, Head-Fi! My question today is: what headphones do females like? Particularly college age. My girlfriend has been needing some OVER EARS for some time now, and it's going to be Christmas soon... So, what better time than now. Alright, for starters, she is particularly fond of...

I'm going to try and make this as much of an interesting read as possible. Here it goes...   I was at a thrift store that I shop at quite often. I wasn't even looking for headphones when I walked in. After browsing for what I was initially in there for, I drifted towards the electronics...

So, I have been thinking about getting 1 or 2 headphones. (the ones mentioned in the description.) I listen to dubstep, dance, classical, jazz and acoustic. Anyone have any thoughts on either?

Hello again, Head-Fi. My question today is: Which one of the DT770's is best suited for my music tastes? I use my iPod a lot and my FiiO E11. I also run a soundboard once a week. But, tey will be used mainly for iPod music. I listen to dubstep, jazz, dance and classical, in that order from...

Hello again, Head-Fi. This is a comparative review of the FiiO E7 and the FiiO E11. All other audio equipment used: AKG Q701, Sony MDR-XB500, Apple iPhone 4S, FiiO LOD and the EQu app. For price reference, the E7 is $65 and the E11 is $55. On to the reviews. Quantity of Distortion (Humming)...

Hello again, Head-Fi. Today, I need some help from a few resident bass heads like myself. Here is my situation. I already have the Sony XB500. I want more bass. I can get more bass from my FiiO E7 and E11, but I want even MORE bass (both in quality and quantity) My budget is $150. I love more...

I have some spare change and am looking into buying a new portable FiiO amp (but all other brands will be accepted and looked into further.) I have been eyeing the E11, AND I ALREADY HAVE THE E7, I'm wondering if it would be an upgrade from what I have. I will be using the amp to power anything...

So, about a month ago, I got bored and said to myself, let's do a little experiment. I bought a pair of fake Beats Studio, Beats Solo HD and Beats Tour. Bear with me now. :)   NOTE: 1. These have all been tested side by side with the real deals, in look and sound at my local mall. 2. I...

So, I have not seen a "Giant Killer" thread in a little bit. This is just a thread where you can post ANY headphones/ earbuds (preferably sub-50 dollar US range) But anything is acceptable! I want to hear everyone's voice here. For me, my giant killers are the Monoprice 8323. They have sound...

Here you go, guys! My fully modded Monoprice 8323s!   Mods include: Headband Padding $15 Beyerdynamic Velour Pads $25 Monoprice Gold Plated Mobile Cable $5     The earpads fit nicely and provide a good seal, although they do NOT provide as good of a seal as the stock pads.  ...
