    Headphones for Movies

    What's your budget? Sennheiser make the RS range specifically for this purpose. The kits are basically a control unit/transmitter/stand and a wireless headphone (not bluetooth). E-piphany currently has a showroom RS-195 (which I think is basically top of the line) for a very good price...

    Value for money audiophile headphones

    I'd recommend the Beyerdynamic DT770 80 ohm. It has studio credentials, has a fun "v-shaped" sound signature and probably the best bass presentation in its price range. Cable non-removeable, which is unfortunate. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

    How a Ninja made the DT990 a gamer?s go-to can.

    As a gamer and headphone enthusiast, the DT990 is my favourite ever set. I am on my second pair currently although I went for the 600ohms this time around. They are for me, the ultimate catch-all headphone if you can drive them, shining with solid state and tube amplification and offering almost...

    Importing DAC from Linsoul

    It's a great DAC. Balanced, clean-sounding and extremely well-designed.

    Importing DAC from Linsoul

    I recently imported the Soncoz LA-QXD1 balance DAC from Linsoul. Other than stock issues on their side, I the import process was absolutely painless. I also got DHL free, which may or may not kick in above a certain price point, and that took about 10 days.

    Where to buy replacement headphone earpads

    Pads do affect sound quality and if thicker, can affect sound stage as well. You may better off with something like leather or protein leather to retain a similar signature.

    Please let me know your thoughts. I am interested in getting a pair for production use.

    Over Ear Headphone Advice

    I've judged this pair by reviews as well and it really does seem like a great all-rounder. Another pair to consider, although it's quite a bit more industrial as far as looks go, is the Sennheiser HD280 PRO (https://www.soundsts.co.za/sennheiser-hd-280-pro). Be warned that there are two models...

    Over Ear Headphone Advice

    I can't speak for the Beyers, but the M40X is highly regarded. Sadly, it's a bit long in the tooth now and there are many contenders in its price range. The most credible of these contenders are the new AKG K361 and K371. They have rave reviews, and glowing endorsements from some very...

    Beyer DT880 600z Balanced

    This is brilliant work. Well done :clap: Do you do these kinds of conversions on commission? I've been meaning to do a very similar procedure to my AKG K702's.

    <R6000 Speaker Shootout Challenge - We need an All Round Winner

    I noticed that as well. A lot of these speakers are more in the 7k range unless on special.

    Recommend a DAC

    I'm planning on getting my Tone Board through Digi-Key as they have free delivery at orders at and above R2000 so I can squeeze in a Hammond box as well. I am worried about customs though.

    <R6000 Speaker Shootout Challenge - We need an All Round Winner

    I think the white ones are gorgeous. We're definitely in agreement on Klipsch's products. They're so very Great Gatsby art deco (which is not a bad thing in and of itself), but they'd look like crap in a modest home.
