Preface: About a year ago, I bought a pair of JVC FXT90s and decided I was going to stop wasting money into audio for a while (and waste it on other things). About a month ago, the 3.5mm jack on my iPod Classic decided it was time to stop working on the right channel, and just last Friday, I...

http://www.pyleaudio.com/products/Personal%20Electronics/Headphone%20Amplifiers   Looks like these guys are selling re-branded FiiO products (with ridiculous markups). Is FiiO doing OEM work now?

When you put assorted curse words in your signature, they don't filter out to **** like they do in posts.

There's a few balanced portable amps on the market (PB1, PB2, SR71B), but are there any players with balanced outputs to feed these amps with? For the PB1/2, you could carry around something with a digital output and the DB1/2 to feed it with, but I can't think of anything that can feed the...

Apparently EarSonics is releasing new versions of their SM2 and SM3, as well as a new SM1. They have new housings (even more Westone-like than before) and replaceable cables (same as JH/Westone/UE). I'm not sure if the drivers themselves have changed or if it's only cosmetic...

Multiple news sources are reporting that Osama bin Laden has been shot and killed by US forces. Obama is expected to make an announcement soon. http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/01/bin-laden-is-dead-u-s-official-says/

So, the headphone out on my iPod Touch is going bad (left channel cuts out unless you apply pressure to the plug in a certain way) so I'm in the market for a new DAP. My first choice is the HM601, but my only concern is that it's too thick, almost twice as thick as an iPod, which would be...

Hey Head-fi,   I'm trying to decide on a "basshead" IEM in the <$250 price range, and (I think) I've narrowed it down to these 4. How do they compare, soundwise? My source will be an iPod Touch 2nd gen playing mainly 320kbps .mp3s. I listen mostly to electronic music and hip-hop, so good...

Hey Head-fi. I'm looking for a small-ish super-auarl headphone to get for portable use and I'm having a bit of trouble deciding. I really like the sound the M50 has, but sadly it's too big for me to wear when I'm out and about, so I'm looking to supplement them with something that sounds similar...

Hey Head-fi!   I was thinking about upgrading my Westone 1s. They're pretty good, but they kinda leave me wanting something more. Maybe it's from the rolled-offness of the bass. On the other hand, the ATH-M50's signature fits me perfectly. What are some IEMs around $200 USD that sound a lot...

Hey Head-fi! After my first foray into quality audio was a success, I've been looking into getting a pair of open headphones around the $150 mark to compliment my ATH-M50s. I did some looking around and it seems like my main contender is the 125i, but I've heard some complaints that Grados can...

Hey Head-fi! Do you guys think the T3 would be a good choice for me? My headphones are ATH-M50 and Westone 1. They sound pretty good unamped, but I have a feeling that an amp could boost them to the next level. Should I order the T3? Or should I look into something else? My budget is around...

Hey Head-fi! The metal strain relief on my ATH-M50's 3.5mm plug just detached from the housing. The spring is still wrapped around the cable, but now it's free to slide up and down the cable. Not good! Does anyone know how I could attach it back onto the plug?

Hey Head-fi I was tapping a can of soda a few minutes ago (it helps to make it not explode when opened) and listening to the sound it makes, and it gave me an idea: what if someone designed a headphone that had some sort of liquid in the housings? It's certainly an interesting concept, but how...

Hey Head-fi I've been told I have a pretty big head. When I still used my MDR-XD100 I had to adjust the headband 4 clicks out of 9.5 (there's 10 clicks, but the last one doesn't really feel as "full" as the others, if that makes any sense), so I thought that I DID have a pretty large head, but...

Does anyone on here have the Altec Lansing UHP336? At $60 below the MSRP for the SF3 it seems like a steal, but I haven't heard anything about them here on Head-fi Also, here's a link for the TF10s at 54% off (triple drivers for under $200?!)...

         http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-RP-HJE900-K-HI-FIDELITY-Zirconia-Resonance/dp/B002I26G74     How come the title says it's the HJE900, but the picture shows some pink thing? Has anyone ordered them off of this page (when they were still in stock) who can confirm that...

Hello Head-Fi. This will be my first time posting here. I'm sort of new to choosing proper headphones (as in, before I always just bought $20 dollar things at the drugstore), but I've narrowed down my choices a little bit. I'd prefer to keep the prices less than $75 if possible, but I can be a...
