    My first re-cable, headphone hack - Porta Pro's

    I love my Porta Pros as any good head-fi'er does, I just wish it had a microphone.  The earpads just so happened to disintegrate so I figured it was a good a time as any to hack away.  Granted I could have gone out and just bought the KTC model, but where's the fun in that?  Unfortunately I...

    The SHH3580's only have MIC control I thought, not volume or track control.

    Simple IEM Request... Love my SHE3850's but....

    I love my SHE3850's to death but I have some issues with them.   Cable is way too noisy No inline mic or volume controls.   Any recommendations for IEMs that sound as good as the 3850's that resolve the above issues?

    Best 10 dollars earbuds?

    Quote: I second the SHE3850's.  I am in love these.  I just wish there were less microphonics, but for under $10, best out there.   I must say, I cant stand the cable on the MP8320.  I spend more time untangling it than anything else....

    Best IEMs with inline mic and volume control?

      Quote: $1000 for a pair of IEMS? Holy geeze, that's ridiculous.  My budget definitely is no where near that high.  I would like to say somewhere between $75-$100

    Best IEMs with inline mic and volume control?

    Can anyone recommend the best IEMs with inline mic and volume control other than the ADDIEMs?  I have several pairs of IEMs I love but I kind of miss the controls.

    The Monoprice MP9927 PG 208.. MP8320 (MEP-933)..The $7.11 club..

    I just got my 8320 in the mail and immediately popped them in my ears and was completely blown away!  I was wearing my CK-50s this morning and I think I actually like these better.  At first they   are a little bit awkward how they go in your ear, but once they are in, its just awesome.  ...

    Retired my M6s and M9s

    I am by no means an expert, but I just got my Philips SHE-3580 and so far I am a huge fan. I've been listening to them about about 2 hours and they sound fantastic.
