I feel like getting an endgame IEM this year, but like, I'm only 17y. I find that's a little young and already getting endgame gear would more be like starter gear. So, my question is: Should I get an endgame IEM this year or wait till I maybe get a full job and around my 20s? If I should get...

I've had these for a few years in my closet and don't remember what it is that's special about these. Note that the driver housing is completely wooden, and the wood color is darker than the bamboo (just looks strangely light in these photos). Everything I see online has a wooden housing up...

Hi everyone. I am looking for my first set of desktop speakers. So, I searched the web for over 100 hours looking for desktop speakers and decided to go for the Swans OS-10. However, while offering a very clear sound, they are too boring for my taste and I will have to return them. Also they...

I haven't ordered the sparkos ss3602 op-amp yet, because I don't know how to fit it into the Xduoo XD05 Pro. I guess this is a third party op-amp, so you have to make modifications to get it to fit inside the XD05 Pro. I've read about people "trimming" and "filing" down the "legs" or "solder...

long story short I was going to clean hair off of some used hd580s I bought after having my HD600's die and the Membrane got damaged on the left side and somehow the right side became distorted because the foam in the spider cage disintegrated and one thing (one thing) led to another and here I...

I bought them around a month and a half ago and they were great until I noticed this happening. Is there a way to fix this? I've tested it on multiple devices and I'm certain that it's the IEMs that are causing this. Should I contact Amazon or Moondrop directly in the case of a refund? Thanks!!!

Issue: Many songs sound blown out, as if volume is maxed out and is clipping or songs have a raspy crackly sound. I hear it on multiple pairs of headphones. I’ll include the chains I’ve used below. It’s more prominent on the Monarchs, I assume because they are more detailed than the Bathys It...

I used my IEM's by mistake with the cables plugged in the to wrong pieces. The left cable went into the right pair and the right cable was connected to the left pair. It was used like this for 3-4 months. Is there any possibility of this damaging the earphones?

Hello I recently got some KZ ZSN Pro IEM's (0.75 2 pin); however, I don't want to have to have a dongle to use them on my Android phone I need some help finding a USB-C cable that would work well with them I have tried both the: CVJ V6...

Hi there! Been reading Head-Fi and following classifieds for a while, but never made an account (well, I had an old one under another email that I never used). I thought I'd test the waters and see if anyone had good advice for me! Thank you SO MUCH in advance if you read this and offer...

Is the post in question a Post Thread like this one? Or any post on any thread will do?

Hello all. I want to buy a new portable dac/amp. I have an iPod touch version 6 for my car. I have an old apple click wheel that works hooked up to an amp, cant rember the name. The click wheel is so old its blocked. So, i still use it but cant add music to it. I cant believe it still runs...

I'm looking for some headsets, and I realized that not many sites post the earpad size/dimensions. I did want to know this information for a few headphones, especially the Sennheiser HD800 and HD800S. This being said, would anyone have access to both the external and internal dimensions for the...

Hello. Today I put my Arya's down to go get some water, and when I put them back on my head, the right channel was no longer playing. After some trial and error I discovered that the cable is fine, the driver is fine, the amp and dac are fine, but the jack seems to be damaged. If I only plug the...

I have an AT-VM95ML on my Rega P1, and I am using a magnet on the back of the tonearm base to adjust the anti-skate. The anti-skate still seems to be correct, as the stylus does not tilt to either side relative to the headshell during playback, and I am pretty sure that, at least in the...

I sold a headphone not long ago here, but the classified I posted has been up for about a year before someone bought it. The timing worked out such that my classified got automatically closed just before I sold it, and I assume that's because it turned exactly 1 year old. And since it's been...

My hifiman he400se headphones emit a clicking sound, although rather rattling at a certain volume level installed on my dac or in the windows mixer. In certain compositions. This did not happen before, but after one time when I set the volume above -10 db (low gain) on my dx3 pro+ topping, the...

Hello! I recently got great (for the price) True Wireless headphones from Sony. This is the WF-C500 (Black). At first, he calmly did his job admirably. The case charged quickly, the headphones had great connectivity with the mobile device. But for some time. After about a month the problems...

Hi all, as the title suggest I am most likely going to be pulling the trigger on the Audeze LCD-2 C headphones. I watched some unboxings and browsed the forums and it seems like all of them started coming with the travel case as standard. However, the retailer in my country (Slovenia, EU) said...

Hi, I recently bought a used monarch mk2 and it came in with a small crack on the shell. Over time the crack has gotten bigger so I wanted to figure out how to repair it. One way I've heard to fix it is to use Loctite plastic bonding. When googling I also came across sgaudiohive and saw that...

Hello, my name is Struan and I’ve been looking into getting into high quality audio. I’ve done quite a bit of research on what to get (mostly just debating whether to get the DT770s or the DT990s) but I’m still undecided on what amp to get. Here’s the rundown: What I’m Going To Get: DT 990s...

Hey! I've been struggling to choose my first good headphones. After reading articles and reviews, I got some candidates but can't choose. Would you help me pls? I'm considering between: -Sennheiser 560s -Shure SRH-840A (or 440A) -Audio-technica 50 (wired, probably) -Meze 99 Neo (not classic...

So. I am playing video games with my friend but his microphone is pretty bad and distorts or clips when he is talking. Especially when he is rasing his voice. It's like a buzzing sound that can be quite piercing in my ear as well. Could this damage my headphones? I got the TYGR 300 R. I am...

I'm ordering a very expensive 2 pin cable and I need to make sure all my points are covered for compatibility. 1. This IEM has 0.75 mm pins? The cable maker has informed me they have 0.75 mm pins. 2. Anole VX has reverse polarity: If I simply reverse the pins, is this issue solved, or are...

Hi I'm new around here so please bear with me. I've been getting into the Hi-Fi scene for a while and currently own a pair of Hifiman Sundara's and their Drop-HE4XX too. But onto the questions. I've recently bought my first set of IEM's after having an accident that meant I couldn't wear my...
