Anyone into High-End Ear/Headphones? Feb 15, 2015

    genuine0077 , Feb 15, 2015 :
    As much as I am into smartphones, I am a pure audiophile. And OPO is surely giving me a above average music listening experience (above my expectations!).

    I currently have a Cowon P1 Lossloss Player, Ray Samuels Predator Portable Amp, Earsonics S-EM6, Audio Technica IM-04 and for casual use the B&O A8 and some middle priced headphones too.
    Before what I have right now I had a bunch of others in hand like the Astell & Kern Players, JH Audio, Unique Melody, Shure, Final Audio, Beyerdynamic etc (I just can't name it all lol, too many...) I also have a blog just for hifi gadgets (in Korean though lol), you could still go check out the pictures! (blog.naver.com/genuine007)

    I'm originally from Korea, living in UK at the mo, but can't find a decent store that I could go listen new audio gadgets. Could anyone share some wisdom where I could go and prolong my weird hobby of mine? :) I'm sure there's people who share the same interest as me.

    Cheers in advance! :) :)

    I had a ton of problems finding a good place. Best buy and guitar center has where I found a bunch. I have a friend who is an audio engineer so he helped me because he has many high end things. Try music equipment stores if you have them

    I have the Bluetooth Artics and they are brilliant only £33 on amazon can't fault them.

    Cool man! But sorry to say..
    Bluetooth receivers can never give you a high-end sound experience :(

    Skullcandy here. Not pure audiophile but good enough for casual listening from a portable digital device.

    Want an honest reply? As much as I like t-peos' ambitious attempts (it is a Korean company lol), they still only make generally cheap earphones. Doesn't fit my category as a high-end equipment! :(
    But would be decent enough to listen generally!

    Haha I feel ya! But for me (used bluetooth devices going over $300), it never gave me the full satisfaction! :)
    But self satisfaction is all that matters bro!

    There are a couple of pairs here. I can only vouch for the over-the-ear ones. Great sound quality and comfortable, IMO.

    Tell me what kind of music you listen too mostly, that could help!
    (I have to go out in a mo, I'll reply you as soon as I get back!)
    But for starters and all rounders, Shure se215 is always a good place to start!
    I started out from Ultimate Ears Triple-Fi then to the Shure se535ltd, pure chilling experience I still recall.
