Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Naxos has good stuff, but they are a budget label - although they have gotten better over the years. I don't really go by labels too much anymore, but Naxos isn't a label I equate with audiophile quality, and I have sooo many releases of theirs to back that up. They're more the label you go...- David58117

Bose QC35 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Sounds like the antenna is on that side then. My old jaybirds use to do that - water absorbs Bluetooth signals, and the body is composed primarily of water. Interesting that your other pairs didn't do that.- David58117

Bose QC35 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Are you streaming music when this happens, or playing a file? I had this happen when outside with my QC35, but assumed it was due to streaming and a range issue. My soundsport also did it, but I was streaming the radio when outside.- David58117

Jaybird Freedom or Bose Soundsport wireless?
For what? Gym, general listening, jogging outside? The freedoms are somewhat difficult to put in, but they completely isolate. They have the better sound quality, they don't have that warm veil senns have, they're pretty clear - black is black. Bass is also tighter and more controlled. I was...- David58117

Any good wireless IEM's?
For excersize, or just general listening? I've pretty much settled on beats Powerbeats for excersize (fun sound sig, that handles excersize well), and then JayBird Freedom F5 for when I want better sound quality/isolation/lay down. The Jaybirds can be kind of difficult to fit, and the battery...- David58117

Best Earphones For Cycling....?
Wow this thread is old! Anyway - I don't see how cyclists/joggers could do it with closed iems/phones, especially when open iem solutions are readily available. I bought Bose IE2 iems years ago for this purpose, and they've served well. Before that it was portapros. Now it's the Beats...- David58117

high end iems not as "high end" as I thought?
This thread reminds me of the portapros. Cheap, but very fun and for many people - the gateway headphone.- David58117

Monster Turbine dead after two months in and support does not reply? EDIT: Monster Support Sucks, do not buy.
Quote: When I did it I just printed what they sent in the email, took the tips off and tossed everything (copy of receipt, iems themselves, label they sent + description of problem) in an envelope. Paid for tracking, kept the box + cd + super tips and everything included with...- David58117

Please Explain "Boring"(of Etymotic HF3/MC3) to a Noob Like Me...
Generally: "boring" = uncolored "fun" = colored Uncolored = more neutral frequency response - neither the bass/mids/highs will be emphasized, it will be more balanced..that kick drum isn't going to sound like a cannon on these. "Fun" headphones will color the sound - the...- David58117

Are you guys kidding? Monster offers one of the best (actually probably the best) warranties in the business - unlimited lifetime replacement for any defects, in addition to a "once in a lifetime" - completely at your fault - replacement, however long after purchase. And in my experience...- David58117

AKG K3003 High End 3 Way System Headphone
Would this be the pair to get for someone who primarily listens to classical music? Coming from ER4S and AKG K701s After accurate timbre, clarity, speed, instrument separation......something that could play Mahler's "Symphony of a Thousand" without a hiccup and sound as lifelike as...- David58117

Best isolating IEM under 100$ ?
Hf3/5 can sometimes be found under 100. Etys are great, but know what you're getting...analytical, clean, balanced (bass light to some), ..great for acoustic instruments, rock etc. If you're more into electronic or something that needs more thump - get something different.- David58117

Monster Turbines Pro Gold Warranty Question
I can't speak of that (because its not what I experienced), but I read that thread too and was surprised by people not calling. I've heard of monster going out of their way and offering upgrades etc if something like that came up, and the person called. Otherwise you're just one in probably...- David58117

Monster Turbines Pro Gold Warranty Question
The onetime replacement I believe is if its your fault...like you accidentally severe the cable, run over them (I don't know..) or damage them through something stupid of your own doing. I don't think there's a timelimit on it - just keep your receipt and call monster if anything, whenever...- David58117
