I know many people prefer higher bitrate formats and such, but is there a point where FLAC simply overwhelms the driver to produce sounds you wouldn't naturally hear(out of the hearing range) vs. a compressed format that's easier to produce?   I'm curious because I have some songs, both FLAC...

In its current state:   I've already ordered a non-functional but cosmetically sound replacement to swap the guts over; should get here next week.  Current plans are to swap in two, or all, of the 4" speakers for 4" woofers/mids , swapping the internal amp for a higher-power class-D...

I love these Koss PortaPro headphones, but since I use it for workouts it gets exposed to a lot of sweat.  I haven't had problems with sweat interfering with the drivers/sound(unlike my MEE M6, UE 700s and SF5v2), but the cushions just suck up all the sweat and gets soaked.  I try to wring them...

I've seen SRH840 and DT250 pads on the M50, but I'm looking for something softer.  I have DT250 pads on my MDR-V6 and those are pretty comfortable but the stock Sony leather/pleather cushions seemed softer(the DT250 cushions also seem to be more "cushiony" than the DT990s I had).  The SRH840...

Right now I use PortaPro for jogging, etc.(pretty much my primary iPod headphone) and Sony MDR-V6 for my PC.  Lately I've been swapping out the V6s for the PortaPros for music so figure I might as well replace them.  I'm looking for something similar to the PortaPro but with better...

I decided I want to upgrade to something "better" than a ATH-M50(right now I'm using MDR-V6s) since the price of M50s has gone up a bit anyways.  For <$300 budget, I really like what I heard about the DT880/600s but also heard that the 990/600s go even lower and have much stronger low-end bass. ...

I'm sorry if this is the incorrect section; but does anyone know if the equalizers built in A/V receivers work on the headphone output?  I've tried out a couple receivers and like the Yamaha *67 series; and just found out they have a parametric equalizer for the speakers from looking at the...

After looking at some receivers and sound cars, the HT Omega Claro Halo has what I like.  The receivers didn't support Dolby Headphone(or at least ones that were in a reasonable price range for me), and the HT Halo is the only one I can find that has optical input; though it seems Asus cards may...

Right now I'm using Sony MDR-V6s w/ Beyerdynamic cushions; I really like them but I'm looking to upgrade to something a little better; preferably under or around $100 with more bass than the V6s.  I use the headphones for mostly music and some gaming.    Initially I was thinking of going...

I started using my UE 700s for jogging and after a while the chrome paint on the right side started coming off.  Well a couple weeks ago I noticed very harsh noises from the right side on some occasions; I wasn't sure what it was as moving the cord did nothing but sometimes I could replicate it...

Just a heads up; while trying to listen to my iPod before class, I noticed no sound in the left ear bud; put little pressure on the connector and sound came back on.  Took the connector out; noticed it was crooked...lightly try to straight it(just so the left side would work), and this happened...

Right now I have Super.Fi 5 v2's, and the original "small" tips are slightly too big for my ear.  I had Sony(EX55s I think, been a while) and Klipsch S4s prior.  The Sonys were comfortable but did not seal as well as I'd like.  The S4s were tight, sealed pretty well, but the actual driver case...

Alright so I bought a iPod extension cable off of ebay; supposedly supports audio out and syncing, etc. It works completely fine with my FiiO E1 amp, but when I try to hook it up to the computer, iTunes freezes up and the device doesn't show up. Though, it shows the charging/sync("Connected")...

Does anyone know if there are double-flange or even triple flange tips available for the Super.Fi 5s?

Right now I have a 5g Nano and Super.fi 5 IEMs. I want to try out the FiiO E1 but I do not like how it sticks out the bottom, and I also have a hard-case which I don't want to take off since I use my iPod for working out and daily activities(my 4g Nano I had prior, was dropped plenty of times)...
