    [2021 Update] Venture Electronics (VE) Monk V2, Monk Plus & Monk Go: a $5 earbud that taking the world by storm!!!

    I just found a pair of Monk VE Plus in my stash and listened to them probably 10 years later. Blown away. On a track like this = Yes there is basically no bass/sub , but the clarity is insane, and I own planar headphones. Detailed trebles with no fatigue, which is always a big issue for me. Did...

    Replacing airpods (non-IEM wireless buds)

    After loosing my airpods for the second time, I decided its time to try something a bit less expensive, and I believe the competition did catch up. I am absolutely not brand dependant, I only go for the best value at the time. For example, when the Macbook air first came out, nothing was...

    Windows 10 audio glitching when alt-tabbing

    I did not have this issue with my old macbook air which was running the much slower HD620 intel GPU. Same thing with my previous laptop, a Thinkpad X1 carbon also running the HD620 with Windows 10. The Surface Laptop 3 I have now is running an Intel Iris Plus/Pro GPU which is up to 3x times...

    Hifiman IEM's: RE-400 and RE-600

    The 600s are a bit better than the 400, but since all prices have been reduced across the board, they are worth it for sure right now.

    Hifiman IEM's: RE-400 and RE-600

    There are tons of models in the E series, which one would be more similar to the RE600 ? Im talking super flat response with lushious mids and absolutely no sibilance in the highs

    Windows 10 audio glitching when alt-tabbing

    Seems like Windows 10 (latest version) doesnt isolate the sound driver well, or maybe its an IRQ management issue. Either way I replicated the issue using Foobar and VLC. When using an external usb DAC, no issue. And this is happening on a brand new Surface Laptop 3, which is made by Microsoft...

    Hifiman IEM's: RE-400 and RE-600

    I think the RE600 is even better than the RE400, especially at a price of 65-75$ ! But, I can find the RE800 silver for 200$.... would it be the same upgrade?

    Hifiman IEM's: RE-400 and RE-600

    Quick bump here, I lost my RE600 recently and have been using the RE400, which are still IMO the best neutral sound for money, but I do miss the extra clarity and bass of the RE600. Before ordering them again, anybody else finally found alternatives? I just cant seem to encounter anything this...

    Need help choosing between Siberia v2s or other headphones!

    I know this is an old thread, but I just got the Siberia for 36$ including shipping on ebay. These are classic if not famous gaming headset so I was curious how they sounded like after all. Turns out really not that bad. Its not audiophile quality but for that price they are very competitive and...

    Zorloo ZuperDAC Review by mark2410

    It took me a while to finally post this. I have the original Zuperdac, and also was one of the first on indiegogo for the v2. I am usually a fan of the Sabre chips, but for some unknown reason, I just cant listen to zuper-s. There are no mids and bass. The trebles are there but thats it...

    [REVIEW] HifiMan RE400 ‘Waterline’ – The New Reference

    Yes that is the thing with the RE400 alternatives, either they are hard to find, or they cost almost 10x the current RE400 price :D

    Hifiman IEM's: RE-400 and RE-600

    How do they compare? I have been using multiple pairs of RE400 for the last 4 years since the cable always broke, but I couldnt find anything similar with a smoot flat response. Now Hifiman finally released an updated version with update cable and to be honest I havent had any trouble since. But...

    [REVIEW] HifiMan RE400 ‘Waterline’ – The New Reference

    I completely lost access to my account and I'm finally back, but still did not find a replacement for my RE400! Simply nothing equals the flat, smoothness of these, especially because I use them while working, usually listening to electro/house and I want the sound to be non-fatiguing...

    [REVIEW] HifiMan RE400 ‘Waterline’ – The New Reference

    I am lucky enough to be currently living near Poland, so I am thinking to make a quick trip to Warsaw to try-out and perhaps mold my Music Ones.    Thing is, these are BA headphones, and I thought the "smoothness magic" of the RE400 was due to its titanium dynamic drivers. I have other BA...

    [REVIEW] HifiMan RE400 ‘Waterline’ – The New Reference

    I am at the point where I will just give up.   Went already throught two RE400 and amazingly the RE600 is even worst.   Time to upgrade. But I simply cannot find anything else with this flat and smooth sound signature.   It seems to me every in-ear is either too boomy, or so sharp that the...

    Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3

      I actually went to a demo store to try out the Meze 99 and the NAD HP50 because I wanted some new flat headphones.   They were both technically good sounding, without much fault, but it just was not an ah-ah moment. But then I saw the orange cable and asked to try the Fostex.   After...

    Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3

    Since the T50rp mk3 were cheaper than the Meze 99 classics or NAD HP50 that I was looking at, I decided to compensate with a Mojo :D

    Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3

    Kinda fixed for me. Still a bit scary how the contact seems to be fragile like that. Will def invest in some OEM cables (maybe Vmoda)   Also my Fiio E10k is maxed out. But since the T50rp is cheap (i was looking at NAD HP50 or Meze 99 for double the price), I might treat myself and buy a used...

    Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3

    Guys, thanks for the extremely quick reply!   Is signal loss a common problem? I am usually a IEM guy, so I cant really judge the quality of a full-size cable, but what im experiencing is literally loss of signal on one side while moving my head !    Thats more than a cumbersome or bad to...

    Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3

    This week I want to a demonstration store to check out the Meze 99 classics.   I like "flat" headphones and Innerfidelity just celebrated the Meze as the new NAD Viso HP50. Yes there were good, a bit better than the NAD, but I was simply not impressed compared to my current RE-600 hifiman. I...
