Hey. I got the AKG K550s, I have used em mostly with my laptop at uni but decided to get some iems for that instead. So now im plugging them into my gaming computer at home instead, the only problem now is low sound and lack of elements in the sound. I understand this is due to the bad onboard...

Hi, I have been following this forums for some time now (1-2 years) to decide what would be my next headphone purchase... So the time has finally come! in 2 weeks i'm travelling to the U.S I will be staying in Texas going back and forth from San Antonio to Austin. (I'm only going for 4 days)...

Got a cMoy BB 2.03 2x9V and for some songs the bass is sounding a little more crackly that I think it should, my question... is this a lack of sufficent power from my amp or an issue with audio quality   Here's the Song where I first Noticed the lack in bass   Nujabes Luv Sic Part 1...

Hey guys,   I'm looking for some closed headphones to use at work. I would use my MS-1is but they would annoy the hell out of my co-workers. Currently I am using my etymotic IEMs, but they are kinda uncomfortable after an hour or so.   I primarily listen to indie, post and alternative...

I'm new to headphones and was looking for a pair with punchy bass, good highs, and good depth for around 200 or less dollars. I don't mind if the set up involves getting equipment that will exceed 200 (I'm expecting it to). I just want the headphones to be $200 or so. I was thinking of getting...

Hey, I'm interested in buying the Denon 200 because of the reviews I hear about them. How good are these actually? I have a pair of M50's that I love and I'm wondering how superior the 2000's are. How does the sound quality hold up and how is the comfort of it? Are they worth the money? I listen...

Hello everyone!    Hope someone can give me some sound advice...    I currently listen to AT M50s powered by an ALO "The National" AMP from a Macbook Air via the headphone jack using Fiio cables.   I have some money that i want to spend on upgrading the system... but I'm stuck in the...

Hi guys, I've been lurking for a little bit and decided to finally post! I hope I don't mess up too badly, also hope this is in the correct section (didn't know if it should go in here or computer audio) Anyway on with the question... I'm looking for the best pair of headphones for ~$175 and a...

Hi, I am looking for earphones with good bass that i can feel and overall good sound quality i have a budget of aprox 50$  i have been looking at  maxell metallics soundmagic e10 meelectronics m6, m9   i currently use panasonic htf 600 headphones which i find great how would the...

Kinda need some opinions on headphones. I listen to mainly electronic music( House, Dubstep, Trance) which is somewhat bass heavy and was wondering what a good pair around the $150 dollar price range would be. Been hearing the Sennheiser HD 518 might be the ones im looking for after alot of...

Good Evening folks.   A while back I decided to upgrade my phones. I am currently sitting on a pair of AKG K518 LE, which sound OK. Though are EXTREMELY uncomfortable, I have to shift them constantly. Also the sound leaves a little something to be desired.  Anyway, after many hours of...

I've read tons of posts and researched for weeks and I've decided on the DT 880s (250 ohm). There are still some things that are unclear to me and haven't been definitively answered (so far as I could find). Some of you may recognize me from a post I made a while ago which was crucial in my...

Well I'm sorry for starting another recommendation thread well I was just wondering what the best pair of headphones would be for me. I am an avid classical music listener I also like the bass to be present. I don't have a budget set in stone but I just purchased the monster Ntunes on...

get ready for another noob thread (thanks in advance) I have a set of Sony MDR-XB700's. I've had them for about a year, and they already sound very crisp, but I've recently found out that I know next to nothing about headphones. I am looking for a portable amp that I will be able to use with...

Hey all,   I've been looking to make a better portable set up recently since my Clip+ broke on me and my current Sony Walkman doesn't have enough memory for me at the moment.  I was looking into what type of source gear would be good if I'm looking for a warm sound that goes well with...

i just got my fiio e7 in the mail today and plugged it in.  it works the oled comes on, the Fiio sign on the bottom is flashing indicating charging, and sound is playing through it from my computer.  but when i turn it on it goes from 1 line on the battery with the screen saying lock, then lock...

Hello all, I've been an avid reader of head-fi for a while but this is my first post. So the headphone port on my desktop broke and the headphone out port on my speakers introduces all sorts of hissing. I am looking for a portable USB DAC/headphone amp that I could use with my desktop or...

Hi Guys,   Well I posted a while back about my X-Fi Forte analog outs dying on me so I have been forced to use the DAC on my Z5500 (from the digital out of the X-Fi Forte) to power my HD 555s.  I have personally found the Logitech's headphone out to be awful compared to the Forte's headphone...

Had an e7, battery did not charge.  returned e10.  Feedback/buzzing noises issues.    I'm going to be returning the e10 back to amazon, when my new DAC comes in but i have yet to decide that, so any recommendations around the 100 dollar area? I just need something to plug into my laptop and...

Hi, I recently upgraded from 2 gigs to 4 gigs of RAM on my late-'09 MacBook Pro, and the increase in sq was tremendous when using Amarra. Would an upgrade to 8 gigs result in another significant upgrade, or something minimal/marginal? Thanks!

So, I will be getting the HD 598's in a couple of weeks, but having used my noisy inbuilt audio on my computer, i need something to stop it. Max 100GBP, although less is better, I was thinking a nuforce uDac-2 or xonar dx, but would prefer something <100. i don't need portability, just a pretty...

im not really sure where to put this, because im not really sure what i need. i have a pair of koss pro dj100's. which im sure arent the best. but they suit my needs. they stay at my computer 90% of the time. and for a long time i was just using the on board sound card on my motherboard. which...
