So I was browsing Zeos (YouTube reviewer) vids and sound demos when I noticed a bunch of his sound demo's feature the same tracks being tested across a range different headphones. Whilst far from scientific, accurate, or indicative of the real thing, it was super interesting comparing the...

Can't decide which of these I should go with as a replacement. I'm coming from a (now lost) W4, which I really liked the sound of, due to it's wide sound stage (wider than the TF10, SE535 etc I tested before it), and smooth overall signature. Only negative was that I found it was a little too...

As some of you may recall, I created a charity thread some months back with links to all manner of different charities hoping to raise money to help towards the drought in Somalia, it seemed popular so I can only imagine it did well.   Well, today several months later I was hoping to curry...

  I'm neither a journalist nor an audiophile expert, lets get that out the way. This is nothing more than a hobby for me, so please take my impressions and reviews in that regard. I offer my opinions from the perspective of an ordinary music lover and techy who invests a lot of time listening...

Very cool indeed.   http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/9675963.stm   http://www.geekosystem.com/custom-fit-earbud/

At the moment it's quite a chore using the forum on mobiles. It's slow, cumbersome, replying takes ages and has all sorts of loading and size issues (have to resize to see the full reply box etc). Any chance you might fine tune these things, perhaps have an auto resize option for mobile...

  Trying to decide between either the NuForce Icon HDP, Apogee Duet 2 or a combo of BiFrost and either Valhalla/Asgaard/Lyr (for use with mainly T1's, but also HD800/700, maybe LCD-2's later down the line). For use out of a Macbook Pro and from time to time my gaming PC too. Help me decide...

Are there any risks posed towards either device during such activity? Reason I ask is, often I prefer to leave my phone off Aeroplane mode, with the network activated so I know I won't lose any important calls.   However, using the ALO Continental and my T1, when network interference occurs...

I love the 3.5mm screw plug on the standard D5000's as they don't increase in size much once you screw the 6.35mm adaptor that comes with it on to them. Wondering if you can buy just the jack/plug separately?   Thanks.

I hope you guys won't mind me posting this, and I will keep it brief. Most of us have a penchant for all things audiophile, and often this hobby of ours costs us hundreds, sometimes even thousands of pounds.   Just to grab a minute of your time to ask that those of us who can, please donate...

Basically for me it's currently a toss up between these phones. Naturally there is quite a price difference between them, but audio quality wise how do they compare to each other? I'm leaning towards the D5000 or HD600. Afraid the AK701 might be a bit bass shy for me. Your thoughts would be well...

I hear this quite often with impressions and in reviews. But my question is, how can we even judge that? Doesn't it depend on what equipment the musician/producer used when creating or recording the music? Unless I'm missing something and there's some universal musical signature that all...

  Basically, my Westone 4 had slightly messy cable ends, where all these little cable plastic bits stick out near the end of the actual 3.5mm jack (like it's unravelling). It bothered me since it looks a bit cheap and isn't clean enough. See image below (mine was worse with more little...

I'm talking specifically about a batch of photo's I posted in this thread.   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/560881/westone-4-vs-shure-se535-comparison-will-update-as-i-go-along   They work for a few minutes then just turn in to broken image icons, despite the fact that bandwidth has...

Ok, so after all the universal IEM hullaballoo, I've decided I want to finally dive in to the world of customs. I guess I like the idea of something so personal, and the upgrade in SQ over the top end universals is alluring.   Now the problem is, there are SO many I am literally confused out...

Ok, I'll add to this comparison in a few days after I've had time to settle in with both, I'll also take shots with my DSLR, but after half a days listening with both the Westone 4 and SE535 on my iPhone 4 un-amped, both using Shure Black Olives, which imo give slightly better treble impact and...

I was thinking about getting A JDS Labs cMoyBB v2.03 portable amp. What do you guys think of this amp as a stop gap before I get something more expensive? Truth be told I just love the fact that it's in a mint tin. The arty farty in me adores that!      Also, I've never actually bought...

As the title suggests, only thing is, I have an Amazon UK giftcard so I'm limited to buying from Amazon only. Based on what they sell, what would you guys recommend for use with the sound card?   Currently using the HD555 and whilst it's good, I want something with more detail, clarity and...

I guess I'm getting a little bored, and want a bit of an upgrade. Maybe a bit more sparkle in the high end and more clarity all the way through. SE530's are brilliant in most regards except the high end.   How do the Copper's fare against the SE530's SQ wise? Also, one other important thing...

What programmes should I use to rip music from my CD's for use with my MP3 player? Any tips of sample rates, bit rates, Joint Stereo/Mixed Stereo etc would be grateful. I'm actually using a Nokia N95 8GB as my MP3 player as I find the audio quality much better than my iPod or the iPhone. Any...

One thing I've really noticed since purchasing my SE530's is that there's a massive difference in the way certain sources handle or output the sound. Often to the degree of comparing it to sounding like a whole new IEM! I'll quote myself from another forum. --- "This thread was mainly...

I'm looking to order a Pico portable amp to use with my SE530's and any future hi-end headphone purchase with my Nokia N95 and/or iPod (Touch or Classic) plus my PC and/or laptop. Can someone run me through what DAC actually is, how it's useful and so on. I'm not entirely up on it all, and am...

I am using a pair of Bose QC2's and think they're brilliant! Ok, the SQ isn't up to par with the SE530's. Not quite as clean, sharp and full, but they still sound very good. Especially with the ipod Nano. For some reason these Bose fare much better on the iPod than my SE530's do. My SE530 I...

Just curious. I've heard people mention that certain portable amps, increase the quality of sound from the SE530 (negate the rolled off high's with the Hornet for example). What portable amps are recommended, and honestly speaking, what kind of a quality difference are you likely to notice with...
