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...

I would definitely like to attend. My equipment list is rather short. It looks like we are somewhat stuck on where to have it.

I own an iPhone 5 and I am trying to bypass the phones dad/amp . I also own the Monoprice desktop headphone amp that has a USB B input. I have searched extensively on Head-Fi and elsewhere for a solution. Someone here suggested to use the Apple Lightning Camera accessory cable which I bought...

Hello,   A while back, I upgraded to an iPhone 5. I also own a Monoprice Headphone Desktop Amp. Not wanting to double amp, I did some research and it seemed that the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" was the solution. I also needed a USB A to USB B cable. With the amp turn on , I am greeted...

I think I just answered my own question. after doing a google search it appears that the connection type is USB mini. It appears that I will need a different cable for use with the Monoprice amp.

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...

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. 

Huh, interesting... when I did a search for "Xiaomi Pistons" all it got was the $30 commemorative version. Thanks. $20 is close enough.

I just went to  http://www.ibuygou.com to buy a pair and all I see is a commemorative edition for $30. Is there another reputable dealer that sells them for about $16 with free shipping?   thanks!

I attended this event and is was a wonderful time. May I first extend my gratitude to Fedelis for hosting this event. I can attest firsthand that they are a great audio resource in the area. I met a great bunch of guys and a beautiful Golden Retriever. So many wonderful setups to listen to. As I...

thanks guys, I think I will be there just after noon.

Hello,   I have been scanning this thread to try to determine the hours of this Head-Fi meet, but I am not seeing it. Can someone help me out please?   thanks,  Paul

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!

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...
