I have a pair of the original PX headphones; at the time I bought them nothing was close in terms of SQ, with a balanced sound for acoustic, country, and rock... I remember trying our the origina XM's and they were sooo base heavy. My PX's still work fine, though the battery has started to die...

I have been a GPM (Google Play Music) subscriber for a while, and have been fairly happy with the audio quality.(I actually found it to be better than Spotify, but that a couple years ago, last I tested, and I have heard Spotify has improved a lot.) I was wondering if the new You Tube Music app...

Looking for an amp to drive a new set of Polk tsi200's. It is a secondary system, and will only be connected to a Chromecast. I am going to stick the receiver out of site, in the top shelf of a cupboard, so it can be ugly :). It won't be near any other equipment though (other than lights). I...

I was going to hook my ChromeCast audio to a TP22 or other 2050 amp. But I am wondering if I should get one with a built in DAC like the SMSL Q5 which has optical in. If the DAC in the CCA is the same quality as the DAC in the Q5 Pro, then I'll save my money, and just get a used TP22 for less...

I have a Chromecast audio hooked up to my stereo is the basement, and I also have one hooked to an ancient receiver and even older set of floor speakers out in the garage. Now I'd like to Put something on the main level of our house, specifically the kitchen to listen to music while cooking...

I have a Yamaha RX-V675 receiver. I was thinking about getting a Chromecast Audio for, but for the same price I could get the Chromecast 2.0 and plug it into the HDMI on the receiver. I get that the CCA gives me a little more flexibility in the devices I connect to, but I plan on only using it...

Now that Tidal has a $9.99 price point to compete with Google Play Music, I was wondering if anyone uses it,? Or at that price point do people just stick with Spotify and Google Play Music? I am curious if people find the 'standard' quality basically the same as GPM?

I can't seem to find much on these. But they are 1/3 the cost of the bluebuds x2's and support bluetooth 4, and aptx. Mee's seem to produce decent stuff in this price range so I am tempted. Also considering the X7 plus' by Mee, and the BLU-100 by Brainwave. But for some reason X7's are double...

I can't seem to find any information on these, yet they offer Apt-X, and MEElectronics tend get ok reviews. How are they compared to Bluebuds?

Need a suggestion   Music I listen to (in order): * folk-rock-pop (Avett brothers, Brett Dennon, Father John Misty, etc) * Country (Waylon, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Ian Tyson, etc) * Pop rock/alternative. * Older metal (Metallica, AC/DC, 7m3, etc) * Some of today's pop rap.    ...

My 11y/o daughter covets the Beats solo's that are the rage with the kids. While I have tried solo's on, I can say there are numerous headphones that sound better for less than 1/2 the price. But I also don't think I'll win any points by preaching about sound quality and insisting she wear a set...

I was really happy with how this turned out, and then I went and ruined it with the JB Weld and Lego! Maybe I'll paint them, and that may make the Lego piece less disgusting!   I got the mic for $.99 off eBay.  I really can be more happy with it.  The pick up on it is amazing. Way better...

The biggest question for me is what type of cabling do I need to put the ends on.  Will any cable with 4 wires would work? Left, Right, Mic, Ground.   Would this work: http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/b-wd-6502fe.htm   Also if anyone knows of a place with reasonable shipping to...

I know this topic pops up from time to time, but I have a question.   The Astro MixAmp takes a 5.1 and 7.1 and down mixes it to stereo. Many claim this produce this produces better positional audio that the multi-speaker head phones (ie. Tritton AX Pros).   Well I run my 5.1 speaker...

Yes, another first poster starting a IEM for iPhone thread.  I have spent about 6 hours going over these forums the last couple days, and every time I think I have it figured out, I change my mind. So I figured I'd post the questions with my music tastes.   History Started with Apple...
