headphones

Just received my new earpads for my Sennheiser HD660S after they been worn for 6 years. I was always waiting for a price drop for the original pads but that never came 😕. Last week I couldn’t wait anymore so I bite the bullet and paid 39.99 for a pair of ear fabrics 😅. As long they hold for another 6 years I’ll be...

Hello everyone....

I’m currently using an Astro mixamp (2011 version) for my headphones but it’s starting to die, I don’t really know much about dacs/amps or what my options are to replace it with something better?...

It seems like open back are the defacto recommendation for headphones. I already own an AKG K240 and since I intend to use them around other people, I don’t want the noise bleed. What do people prefer for closed back applications? I’ve been looking at the DT 770 Pro’s and the Hifiman Sundara Closed. I really like a sound...

After a year of using JLAB JBuds Air ANC, I am done with the company and their trash products. I have wasted 60 Euros on this piece of garbage, just for them to constantly unpair, not charge, be massive with the sound not being good enough to excuse their size....

DAPS have better internal hardware for audio, and it provides a distraction free listening experience, but is it worth paying a premium for one? Especially when there are more modern solutions out there such as portable Bluetooth DAC/Amps such as the Fiio BTR7 or Qudelix-5k paired with your smartphone. I’d love to hear your...

I like IEMs and love that I can swap cables on them if they get damaged, but I can’t keep having to buy new IEMs once I inevitable break or lose one of them because of the cable. My first pair, which had MMCX cables, I lost one of the sides because the MMCX cable had become loose and I was running and it dropped out, and I...

You’ve seen a Schiit stack. Well here’s a Sabaj stack....

After a couple years of wearing my K371, often during sweaty gaming sessions, my pads have deteriorated. I’m looking for comfortable gel cushions, which could last a bit longer than memory foam. Old reddit threads and Brainwavz’s website suggest I get Brainwavz oval, but I’m hoping if anybody here has any other suggestions...

I’ve owned the DT 1990 Pro for a couple years now and it’s absolutely the best set of headphones I’ve ever used. But fairly recently the creaking issues that many other users reported have crept up to me....

I’m looking for opinions on good mixing headphones. I’ve been using Sony MDR 7506 for a couple of years and they are starting to peel, so I’d like to reserve them for recording situations and upgrade to something new for mixing....

Looking to get new headphones since the battery is now shot in my Corsair...

Hi everyone, i want some advice, so my budget maxes out at 100usd, I want to try an open back or new experience but on the other side I want to buy it for work use too,...

Hey all,...

Anyone got suggestions for a good pair of headphones to use in the gym and/or for running? Cannot stand earbuds, have tried several, including very expensive ones and they just don’t do it for me.

Hi @ll,...

Over the past few years, I have bounced from iem to iem. Most of them were around $20, so I just replaced them when something went wrong (and I couldn’t fix it or had to buy something to fix it). However, I had a recurring problem after about 2-5 months of daily use. The left channel gets super quiet. This has happened on...

I am looking for advice on how to manage the cable of my In-Ears. I need ones with cable because of lack of bluetooth, and I need them to be small because I usually have other stuff to carry around, so please don´t recommend wireless or Over-Ears....

For gaming, I’ve been rocking cheapo Superlux 668b with velour pads for 5 years or so and I’m looking for a bit of an upgrade....

I was initially going to get Bluetooth earbuds, but was recently informed of IEMs. They sound appealing and worth their cost so I’d like to try em. My requirements are durability and (less than 50 euros), and something that blocks out the world. Kindly advise....

IEM’s:...

Nice to see more companies taking this kinda concept seriously (altho if concerts weren’t obnoxiously loud it wouldn’t be necessary :D )...
