Hi all,   I have a Macbook Air with a measly 2 USB ports. I have a D1 DAC, and I am wondering if I can run this through a USB hub connected to my computer, or will this "extra link" hurt the quality of sound the DAC will be outputting?   Thanks!

Hi all,    I recently purchased a pair of A2s with the silicone stands. Love the speakers, but I am not a big fan of their sound driven from the 3.5mm jack on my Macbook Air. I bought an Audioengine D1 and thought I could hear a noticeable increase in sound quality (all music FLAC), but am I...

I wanted to purchase some replacement pads for my MDR 7506s because while they are my favorite headphone, I rarely wear them anymore because of how uncomfortable they are. After about 20 minutes my ears get really hot and feel like they are sweating. Not very enjoyable. I wanted to get plush...

Hi all,   I am sorely disappointed with iTunes 11. It is so bad. Does anyone know how to get the columns for bit rate, file size, and sample rate to show up? It was very easy on older versions, but now it seems like they have completely done away with the option for adding extra columns. 

My Comply P-100s came in the other day, so I've had a couple days to get used to them. I love the Shure olives, but I was hoping these would be even better. I wasn't disappointed! Here is a very short review.    COMFORT/FIT   They fit in your ear a lot deeper than the olives. The memory...

Hi all,   Question about the HD600s. I've searched around on a lot of the threads relating to these phones and I really like the reviews, and am quite interested in these cans. Are they a big jump up from the HD558s? And how hard are they to drive? Would a Fiio E11 be enough?   This...

Hi all,   I am looking to buy a new set of headphones. I can get a great deal on an open box Grado SR60i, but my last experience with Grado was awful. I liked the sound, but the miserable cable design caused one side to completely short out (no matter how careful I was to make sure the cable...

I want to be able to listen to my vinyl setup from anywhere in my living room. Where the amp/turntable is located, I can't listen on the couch or at my desk. I have a pair of stock MDR 7506s. I bought a standard headphone extension cable from radioshack that is about 6' long. In theory, it would...

I want to get some Comply tips for my SE-215s because of the rave reviews on here. I like the shure olives, and I use the largest one for the best fit. Could someone enlighten me as to the differences between the various Comply tip models? There is comfort, isolation, super isolation, etc. Any...

I have seen very few reviews of the iGi on here, so I'd love to hear your thoughts. I had the opportunity to use a pair for a few hours. I really liked the clarity for an IEM, but I was very disappointed with the build quality for the price (build quality is always kind of an issue with most...

Hi all, I really want to replace the pleather pads on my Sony MDR-7506's because they are so uncomfortable. I'd like to do the Beyer mod that a lot of people have done on here, but I can't find the right pads! BH doesn't have them in stock, but they do sell some other brand of replacement...

Hi all, I am looking to purchase some new IEMs for flying. I'm not crazy about the idea of active noise cancellation, and I've heard that they don't work as well as sound isolating IEMs anyway. I currently own a pair of old Shure SE-115s with the "olive" foam tips. They work pretty well for...

Hi all - after trying a number of headphones (ATs, AKG, Beyers, etc) I finally found my perfect headphone, the Sony MDR 7506. I love these things. I know they are pretty efficient, but I went ahead and bought a Fiio E11 anyway. Did I just waste my money? Am i going to hear any difference with...

I am still currently trying out my Beyer DT770s. I will keep these, unless there is a cheaper option out there that fits my sound needs and is easier to drive.    My options:   Sony MDR-7506 AT M-45 AKG K-240 Studio KRK KNS-8400 (or 6400)   My requirements:   Crisp, clear...

I returned my AT M50s. The highs were just far too exaggerated without enough mids for my taste. I understand how some people might like them, but I really couldn't enjoy the experience.    I currently have DT770s that I am using. I like them unamped from my MacBook and iPod, and really like...

I just recently returned a pair of iGi's a couple days after I bought them because I was really, really taken aback by the low quality. I am not one to care about what a headphone looks like, but the iGis are positively dreadful for an IEM that costs almost $100. I think the company really...

Hi all, I need your collective wisdom. I was looking for a new set of headphones. I currently own Grado SR60s (which due to their poor cable design has issues with the left side shorting out) and a pair of Shure 115s. I just got rid of my Bose AE2s. I tolerated the sound of the Bose because of...
