    Would you post to a forum member IF........

    They asked you to post an item to the other side of the world without paying for it first?   Said member has decent feeback.... +15 (Vlooienuker). Properly reluctant to do this... One of my mates has been scammed out of about £600 on this forum but only through PayPal gifts.   Obvious...

    C-IEM for Thrash Metal?

    What would you choose and why.   Really want a 1964 V6 Or UM Mage but not sure if would suit taste... I dont care for bass and I loved the flat frequency of the RE262. I hate the amount of bass in the UM3X I currently own and it destroys the midrange.   UK offerings only - See this site...

    The Electric Guitar & Male Voice - Is this Low, Mid or High Frequency?

    I'm serious here, I'm trying to determine which IEM's would suite my musical tastes (Thrash Metal) from IEM reviews.   I know that, ultimately, its me that has to shortlist from the 100's of IEM's available rather than asking in the forums.   What I really want to know is what I might...

    Sony E804

    How do people rate these earphones?   Im tempted to place them on my fire to burn them in. Just found these at the bottom of my spare computer wire box, brand new. They lack bass and a decent seal, but id say 90% of the detail is there. Trebble is very high.

    Need a new MP3 Player. Anything I should consider?

    I have a 16GB Cowon i7. Its great, but Im really struggling with the 16GB of space. I would like 32GB+.   I chose the Cowon because Apple are very gimmiky to me, and I dont need cameras or apps. Just to play music.   Are there any other players out there worth a look? 99% of my music is...

    Westone Elite Series VS UM Series....

    Do the two IEM's correspond in any way in terms of sound quality and sound stage? I know the moulded seal would make the difference. But would a UM3X compare to the ES3X?

    Upgrade from my Xonar STX? Schiit Magni and Modi maybe?

    Would Schiit Magni and Modi offer much of an upgrade over my STX?   I rarely game and when I do its not serious, and mainly listen to music. Wondered if Schiit Magni and Modi would offer much of an upgrade or wouldnt it be worth the money?

    Upgrade from AKG K701's?

    Setup is AKG K701's and Asus Xonar STX. Listen to metal, thrash metal and similar.   After owning the 701's for over 2 years Ive recently found myself thinking something is missing in the mid range - guitar work seems pretty 'far back' and not in your face like they are with some cans or...

    RE 626's Dead - Need New IEMs - £100 Budget - Please Give Opinions/Suggestions

    Had Beyer DTX80's prior to the RE626's. Loved them but were too bassy, RE262's dont quite have enough but I have become accustomed to them and really liked the mids/highs on them.   Listen to thrash metal mainly, dont need 'bass-rich' IEMs. Must isolate well for public use on a regular...

    Xonar STX....What Next - DAC?!

    Hello. I currently have an Xonar STX. I have been wondering, what should I upgrade to. I know the STX isnt amazing but its purpose was to power cans with higher impedance. But having recently bought a FIIO E11 I find it makes a noticable difference in quality. Which got me thinking - Should I...

    Hello. Im having a little trouble finding places online that sells these. Currently ive found "advancedheadphones" selling for £99 but theres no stock and no ETA on next delivery. This site would be ideal, free delivery, £99 and they also sell the FIIO E11 which I want. Only other place I can...

    FiiO E5 - Will it power 250ohm Cans?

    Hi all.   Ive been asked by a friend to reccomend him some good cans. His initial choice were the Dre Beats, but I said save yourself some ££ and get some Beyer DT770's.   His taste lies with Rap, D&B etc.   He listens to music through an iBoard or whatever it is, and an mp3 player...

    Upgrade from DTX80 to DTX100?

    As they are only £75, im tempted. My DTX80's are good (i think) although they might have a little too much bass. I hear that the higher up the range they go, the less bass there is. Can any one vouch the difference? Id be looking to Sell my DTX80's if i do how much could i expect for them...

    My mate paid £500 ish, £360 for the cans and the rest was importing it from america. I was wondering what they were worth. Does £300 and my AKG K701's sound too much?

    Been offered some Grado GS1000 for £550, Do I ?

    I currently have a set of AKG K701's with about 60 hours worth of use (had them all of 3 weeks now).   I listen to a lot of rock, Namely Guns N' Roses, and lot of other 70's stuff, not so much modern rock, but I also have a collection of rap, 2Pac and some other stuff, and occasionally I...
