Headphone Recommendation Help please!
Hi Kay, I am far from an expert, but thought I would add a few thoughts. There are a few basic considerations. One is is sound isolation important? As in, will the listener be in a quiet environment, or noisy? Closed back design isolates outside noise and also keeps most sound from leaking out...- pmwoodward

With the amp turn on , I am greeted...- pmwoodward

The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread
Hello Koolpep, This solution looks almost like what I am looking for. I have an iPhone 5 that I would like to use as a transport to feed into a Monoprice desktop amp to utilize the USB DAC on the desktop amp. The input on the amp looks almost like a Thunderbolt connection. Is the cable going...- pmwoodward

The Xiaomi Pistons Thread 2.0
I eventually found them and ordered them. They have since shipped. I have never heard too many IE buds. I have the new Apple ones which are pretty good. I also have the moonrise ones which are good for the buck, but overall disappointing. Also a $300 pair of Sennheiser which were incredible.- pmwoodward

Can you guys help me choose between these headphones?
Since there is a $150-200 premium when buying them in Peru, I wonder if having a US based friend buy them for you and then ship them to you. I am not sure if Peru Customs would be a concern. But for the huge additional price they cost there, I would look into it. Good luck!- pmwoodward

New England Headfi Meet - Saturday December 6th, 2014!
I am happy to see this finally come around. I will be there and probably bring a few friends also. Truth be told, I have had very little exposure to anything decent in the way of headphones. My current rig is a Fiio E11 and Superlux 681 EVO. Great bang for the buck, but I doubt anyone wants to...- pmwoodward
