Hey guys, I'd love to use a boom mic cable with my audiophile cans, namely the HD600, Aeon 2 Noire, and Meze 109. I love the way that Audeze provides an integrated mic intro their dual-entry mini-XLR cables for the LCD-GX (which is also compatible with other LCDs, ZMFs, Meze Empys etc), but I...

Aside from the detachable cable with the boom mic that's sold with the LCD-GX, there's nothing particularly 'gamer-y' about the LCD-GX. In fact, you can take the cable and put it on any other LCD or ZMF headphone (or any headphone with mini-XLR cables, really) and you have a game-ready pair of...

An interesting new product announced today, which appears to be a collaboration between Audeze and Schiit. It also seems to be very limited, with 67 units available for sale @ $2,500, which includes a current amplification version of the Jotunheim 2 called the 'Jotunheim A', developed to match...

Hey guys, hoping to get some pointers from your collective heads and experience on this one! Due to using an external DAC (Bifrost 2), I don't really have much use for the Multibit card that came with my amp, so I'm hoping to put it to use in a DIY project. What I'd like to do is use it as a...

I thought it might be interesting to create a thread where we can collate a wishlist of sorts to share feedback and suggestions for what we'd like to see improved, or what innovations would be welcome on headphones by particular manufacturers. Unlike software or other electronics...

Self-explanatory title - so many head-fiers find certain headphones to be lacking/have too much of something, and this can (sometimes) be solved with a bit of analogue or DSP-based EQ tickling. For me, adding a bass shelf as well as some upper sparkle on the Audeze Sine DX turned them from a...

Hey guys, the cable with the built-in boom mic that comes with the Audeze LCD-GX looks like a great solution for gaming with a proper pair of audiophile cans - I'm keen to find one that uses 3.5mm dual-entry mono connections (rather than mini-XLR) for use with many of my headphones - the Focal...

Starting off a thread here for the new super all-in-one that has just been announced by Naim: The Uniti Atom Headphone Edition. Network: Ethernet (10/100Mbps) WiFi (802.11 b/g/n/ac with internal antennae) Multiroom: Sync up to five Naim Streaming products and control via the Naim App. Audio...

Sennheiser has just released their new flagship IEM, the $1,299 IE900. Headfonia has published a review of it: https://www.headfonia.com/sennheiser-ie-900-review/ Looks intersting! I wonder if we'll see a matching HD900...

This new all-in-one unit just got announced by Burson Audio - the 'Funk'. It looks like an awesome mash-up of their recently retired 'Fun' and 'Bang' units, and seems like a great option for headphone users who also operate passive speakers in a nearfield set-up. I still own the 'Bang', and...

Interesting news out of Schiit Audio today with the announcement of the new 'Magnius', which seems like the perfect match in terms of footprint and topology for the Modius: https://www.schiit.com/products/magnius For exactly twice the price of the $99 Magni+/Heresy it seems pretty compelling in...

Interesting news from Schiit Audio with the announcement of the $199 'Modius' - a balanced DAC to fill the sizable price gap between the Modi 3 and the Bifrost 2. It seems like a lot of DAC for the price, and ought to make a fine 'stack' with the Asgard/Valhalla/Lyr/Jotunheim-sized amps...

Here's where I'll be working for the foreseeable future - this set-up includes: - Source: Turntable (not pictured); Roon + FLAC library - DAC: Chord Mojo - Amp: Bottlehead Crack and Speedball - Floofer: 'Potato' - rescue cat of unknown brand - Cans: I'll be switching between my ZMF Eikon and...

Well, no-one specified that this thread had to be about digital sources, so I'm just going to go ahead and start one about the new Drop + Audio Technica collab - the $349 Carbon VTA Turntable. I probably listen to more vinyl than digital over headphones, and I'm sure I'm not the only one...

A thread doesn't exist for this tube amp from one-man operator Jim Hagerman from Hawaii, so I figure I'd start one up. From the manufacturer's website: "The TUBA is a world-class vacuum tube headphone amplifier designed to operate with either low impedance (Grado) or high impedance...
