    Buying portable or in-ear headphones? Seeking guidance? DON'T START A NEW THREAD. Ask for advice HERE!

    I'm looking for a couple of pairs of headphones...   First, for myself. I've been using the bundled buds from my Clip+, but they've developed a loose connection in one ear, so I'm looking for something to replace them. Either buds, or portables. Not IEMs - I already have Ety's (for maximum...

    Ety MC5

    This may be an unusual question, but... how does the sound of MC5 compare to AD700?

    JVC FX33 Mallows - What tips?

    OK, my wear-while-mowing Mallows are showing their age... one of the grey tubes has come unstuck. So, should I re-glue the tube on that one, or pull the tube off the other? Which tips work well without the tubes?

    Battle of the 700's... ATH-A700 vs JVC HA-RX700 + ATH-AD700

    Quote:   It's a fairly small office (<20 people) and they're all trustworthy. The only outsiders who come in are the cleaners, so if they nicked anything it would be obvious who had done it.   I have IEMs at the moment - SoundMagic PL30. They're pretty good, but can get uncomfortable...

    Battle of the 700's... ATH-A700 vs JVC HA-RX700 + ATH-AD700

    Argh... I'm annoyed now... After waiting 2 weeks for the RX700s to come in stock, my order for both was still waiting to be processed. I decided I'd have another look at what was available, maybe get one set that would do for both (closed & gaming). After reading a few reviews & doing a...

    Well, I've just ordered the Xonar U1... reviews were mostly good, so here's hoping.

    Budget USB soundcard / DAC?

    Quote: I want USB, as my main PC is a laptop... also I might bring it to work, to improve the sound while listening to music on my work PC. You say the PCI-E Xonar are good, do you know if the USB Xonar is too?

    Budget USB soundcard / DAC?

    Can anyone recommend a good, low cost USB soundcard (or a DAC would do the same, if I understand correctly?) to use with headphones?   Are any of these any good?   Muse PCM2704 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/180536957670   Winsound Mini TDA1305T http://cgi.ebay.com.au/320600359057   SMSL...

    Battle of the 700's... ATH-A700 vs JVC HA-RX700 + ATH-AD700

    I'm looking to get some decent headphones. I'll mostly be listening at work, so want something that doesn't leak sound. But I'd like a set that will be good for gaming too. Budget is around $150-200ish (INCLUDING shipping to Australia).   I was thinking of getting the ATH-A700 from a local...

    Best Tips for SoundMagic Pl-30

    I liked the bi-flanges best out of the included tips, but they came off in my ears a couple of times! I have been using the included foamies, but the seal is nowhere near as good. I'm thinking I'll try some Comply (T400?), but if anyone can suggest a good alternative bi-flange, I'd like to...

    Low Cost IEM, no practical difference?

    I have a pair of SoundMagic PL-30, very happy with them. Do a forum search to look at others' reviews & opinions of them.

    SoundMAGIC PL30 impressions

    Got mine at last... I ordered a couple weeks before my overseas trip, and they didn't arrive until after I left So, nice "welcome home" gift Initial thoughts - very comfortable, could hardly tell they were in; they sounded nice, but very weak on bass. Then I tried the larger tips -...

    Ultimate Ears Loud Enough Earphones for Kids?...(Help).

    I've heard of them They apparently have a low maximum volume (high impedance?) by design, to avoid damaging kids' hearing As for UE quality - I've never had any myself, but have a look at the other threads on here... UE make the TripleFi, SuperFi, and others. Lots of happy users of those on...
