Hello everyone.    I finally decided to jump onto the high quality headphone ship with the Beyerdynamic DT770 80 ohm Pros. They're really really nice so far, and after a bit of wearing them, I think I'll get used to their clamping pressure more as well (but I've already bent them out a bit). ...

I have been using WMA for years to burn my CD collection to my computer and ultimately to my DAP which currently is a Cowon X7 and a zune HD....I use the highest bit rate and wonder how people think it compares to the highest bit rate MP3...I do wish I was able to use WMA on apple products but...

Hi.   I am thinking about buying the Zune HD (Seller Refurbished)   Should I buy it? Or would it be waste of money?

my zune hd is on the fritz and i was looking to buy a cowon j3 32 gb but after a few mins of research  i found they have stopped production and that most cowon products are not doing well, i was almost about to buy an itouch and said f that.   all i need is   32gb+ (maybe an added sd slot...

I've been waiting to get myself a pair of full-size headphones for long road trips or plane rides. I've been looking around and it's come down to the final two and I can't decide. I've seen a bunch of reviews for each of them. Both claim they have extensive bass and crisp trebles. I listen to...

Hello. I am new here, and would like your recommendations.   As I've been around since BBS's in the 1980's, I will try my best to provide information and parameters so that I don't sound (no pun intended) completely like a newbie.   I listen in a noisy environment. Also, active noise...

  Hey all,   I'm new to the world of "audiophilia" and I was wondering what you guys thought would be a good portable amp to use with my HD-598s? I don't really know anything in terms of power and the science/physics behind the generation of sound that I am looking for so I was wondering...

Hey all   Got a new Fiio E7 today and ran it through its paces. The DAC is very clean sounding, but unfortunately, I get the feeling that my unit is faulty. Mainly, the bass boost is totally whack and I get distortion even at level 1, similar to what this person...

Is their even a difference that we would notice or it's very close? I heard Zune HD gives you a better sound? I'm a iPhone 4 user.

Hey Head-Fi, i'm new here! I've recently ordered a pair of the AKG 701s after my Creative Aurvana Live! broke. I'm wondering if the Zune HD can power the 701s enough to listen, or if I should purchase a portable amp. I've been thinking about getting the FiiO E11, but i'd like some opinions.

Just purchased a Zune HD refurb for cheap before I realized that it doesn't support LOD  xD   The headphone out does sound pretty **** good as is, but am wondering if it's wise or necessary to add a headphone amp if your cans don't need the extra power? (Denon ADH-2000) If it may sound...

Hello everyone.  I was just pondering whether or not my equipment is producing a decent enough signal to get almost the most from my headphones.  I have a pair of Grado SR80is. Presently, I use my DROID X, Zune HD/120, and my Dell Studio 1747 to play media.  The only headphone amp I have is the...

I've been looking for some for so long, but the only thing I've found is Grados, but Grados won't work as the design is 100% open. My house is somewhat noisy, so me having open phones is nearly impossible for it to be enjoyable at all. M50's are the only real headphones I have, but the bass...

It's been a while since I've shopped for a portable headphone amp so I'm not really versed on what's available these days. I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive amp that has auto shutdown capability. Ultra thin would be nice but not mandatory. Really like the form factor of the Headstage(?)...

Hey people, I’m pretty new to the world of high quality headphones and this is my first post. This hobby is expensive by the way! Well I need some help on picking between two choices to amp my headphones. I’m looking at the (very nice) Little Dot MKII and this Onkyo receiver...

Hello.   Anyone out there have any opinion on the sound quality of these two Zune items?   I had the HD (gave it to my daughter) and was thinking about getting a larger HD, then thought that I might want to go for the 120 gig one, instead.   On purely sound quality alone without an...

Hello,   I'm in the market for a new pair of IEMs for use while I travel. My work requires that I do a lot of flying, so I am looking for something with solid audio performance, comfortable for use a few hours at a time, and - most importantly - with a high degree of isolation. I am aware...

Hi, I just recently purchased the ATH-M50 and the uDac-2. The ATH-M50 sounded really good with my Zune HD and my computer onboard sound card. For some reason it sounded really bad with the uDAC-2. There's a huge amount of sibilance, it's just unbearable. I'm just wondering if there's something...

I am currently using a ZuneHD for my portable audio needs and while I am very happy with it, It is clearly on its last legs after frequent use,drops,etc. I am currently looking for a new player with 30ish gb of space and not a crazy price tag. I saw the HM-700 and it seemed good to me but I am...

So you might have remembered my thread asking about good portable players. It was suggested that I get a Clip + and as much as I like the idea of a cheap high capacity player, I do appreciate the iPod Touch's UI and functionality.    I have quite a few questions. If you can answer just one...

Firstly, I can't believe I'm actually considering a portable amp again.  This might be my third go-around with a portable amp set-up.   Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions for an amp that is the similar size to the Zune HD; something that will allow me to put into my shirt pocket, with the...
