    Portable noise isolating / cancelling setup? - $500-1000

    Yeah that all makes sense. I think I might try to reshell the UE900s and then get a pair of the Sony's for the ANC after selling everything else. Thanks for your help SilverEars!

    Portable noise isolating / cancelling setup? - $500-1000

    Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I guess the IEMs themselves are not IPX rated and that's the expensive component. Have you compared how custom IEMs noise isolation compare to ANC? I understand ANC is nowadays top notch, but if custom IEMs can get close I'm willing to compromise for sound quality.

    Portable noise isolating / cancelling setup? - $500-1000

    Is there a reason the UE 18+ CSX WITH FOSTEX TM2 setup doesn't work? I could use an aux cable with them, they should have good isolation, apparently the TM2 are IPX 5 rated and have a mic? I know they're above my price range rn though

    DUNU DN-1000 vs Klipsch X7 vs RHA MA750i vs Beyerdynamic DT-770 32 Ohm

    So I recently picked up the first three IEMS and wanted to a comparison between them. I will be parting with them except the DT-770 soon so I thought I'd write a comparison before that time comes.    Before I begin my review I would like to say that I am by no means an audiophile. Here is my...

    OnePlus One

    What is the general consensus on the audio quality of the One Plus One? Because my Dt-770's 32 ohm seems to sound better from my laptop then the phone. I am on CM12 if that affects anything.

    Listening to $100+ headphone directly from a smartphone?

    Awesome, thanks so much for your insight! So basically don't worry about the source till the resistance is higher? Also, why are there rather expensive mp3s then? 100s of dollars to thousands?

    Best Sub $150 IEMS?

    Do you mean review of the x7i? And what is the difference between the x7 and x7i? Is the only difference the 3 button mic? Also, how good are the x7i's? Do they compete with the DUNU dn-1000s? Or are the in a lower category?   Thanks for your help btw, glad I am aware of this deal.

    Best Sub $150 IEMS?

    My brother had a pair of Monster Turbine Copper Pro's but they broke and at that point Monster no longer made them and claimed that they could only replace them with another line of IEMS which were far inferior. Consequently, I am now looking to buy a pair of IEMS and want to spend around $100...

    Monster Turbine Pro Copper Replacements

    Hi. About a year ago I bought a pair of Monster Turbine Copper Pro's, which come with a lifetime warranty. Since then, the headphones have broken, been replaced, and now have broken for a second time. With the warranty I'm allowed to have them replaced again but when I called Monster they said...

    Wow that first thread helped a lot. I think I'm going with the dayton setup.  I'm thinking about buying the cables from monoprice since you and another user suggested it.  for the 3.5 mm I was thinking this one...

    Best Speakers for $50?

    That makes sense. I talked over buying my setup with my dad and he said he was worried about the bass because there will be no subwoofer. Should I be concerned? And also, how would these speakers stack up against similar priced computer speakers liked the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1? I say these are...

    Okay so what should I use to equalize the sound? I know you said not to use the Lepai's features, but what software should I use on the computer?

    Best Speakers for $50?

    Awesome. But just making sure, I don't need a DAC/amplifier for this setup to work right? Just the lepai and the speakers should be fine? I'll probably end up buying a Fiio E10 used from someone on this site, but just want to make sure the setup will work without a Fiio E10. Also, are the...
