What if you could have full body sound and effectively limitless bass even with headphones? Maybe you can. Others on here have mentioned the AuraSound bass transducers which are sometimes used in home theater systems to give tactile bass effects to movie sound tracks and the like...

I just recently got a Mac computer and so am trying out Audirvana. I found the instrument separation to be so intense that I felt the kind of fatigue you can get with too much stereo separation on headphones. After a bit of searching, I found a super simple crossfeed audio unit component that...

These sound perfect for listening during Sunday dinners....but unfortunately they are already discontinued. The reviews really made me drool...

I just discovered a new phishing scam right on Amazon. I saw a listing for a pair of HD800s in like new condition for $711. The price was a red flag, but it was also a new seller with no feedback and also the listing did not have a shipping price. The description had an email address to contact...

The Tera player currently uses an algorithm that does not create evenly distributed random playback. After a lot of experimentation some of us came up with a system that adjusts for the algorithm on the Tera and creates perfectly even selection of songs in random play. Note added: There is word...

In my recent review of the iCAN amp I included the following observation in my discussion of the xBass boost that is a feature of that amp:   However, it is not just on bass heavy music that this X-Bass feature comes into play, even though the bass boost effect is clearly in the lowest...

Brief Summary: To get right to the point, the iCAN amp by iFi is a great performing small desktop amp with amazing features at its price point of $249. Anyone who wants more bass or more soundstage, space and detail from their headphones might find this affordable amp to be the answer to their...

Wondering how to improve your Beats headphones and make a killing on ebay? Here is the answer:   http://www.ebay.com/itm/PROFESSIONALLY-MICROWAVED-BEATS-BY-DR-DRE-PRO-HEADPHONES-SIGN-DATED-BY-ARTIST-/150992903888?pt=US_DJ_Monitoring_Headphones&hash=item2327e0ded0

I happen to love trying out weird and different things, as evidenced by my setup a few years back which was a bit unusual to say the least. It included an Echofone which is a kind of super-tweeter for headphones as I described here...

This is quite the deal for anyone who has not yet tried these:   http://head-direct.com/Products/?act=detail&id=38   Currently backordered, but worth waiting for, especially at this price.

I just got my new He400s and I love them....especially now that I have tried the velour earpads. But I have not quite figured out the trick to popping them fully into place. It seems I can get three of the four little tabs to catch the driver frame, but the fourth one just won't snap into place...

I started a thread about this free app over on the computer audio forum, but I thought this might be a better forum for Android. Here is the post on the computer forum where I describe what I am hearing and compare it to Jplay for Windows...

I just got a Nexus 10 tablet for my birthday and was having a lot of fun with it, especially after discovering the Neutron music player app and also Noozxoide Eizo Rewire Pro which is an app that works in the background to provide digital signal processing. The two together sounded better that I...

I bought a little homemade crossfeed adaptor plug from Compicat on here, and I have had an interesting experience with it. At first when I plugged it in between my UM3X iems and my Predator amp, it reduced the volume dramatically and introduced a fair amount of distortion in the sound. I pretty...

I have a plug that functions as a p to s converter for Etymotic ER headphones, but I sold my Etys a long time ago. The plug includes a 75 ohm resitor. And I am curious just to hear what would happen if I use the plug on my Denon MD5000's with their low impedance. I am listening these days out of...

Just wondering if anyone has direct experience to relate of how vibration control devices affected the sound of their purely headphone system. While the whole idea of vibration control can itself be controversial, it seems that it would be more helpful in a speaker based system due to the...

I have been enjoying trying out a Pico and Predator with my new MarkL Modded D5000 headphones. and they both sound as good as their reputations would suggest. But somehow I could not pick out which one I like better. I like the detail and clarity of the Pico although it is a bit bright with the...

After a lot of fiddling, I came up with a system that I really liked the sound of. Only problem was it was pretty complicated and also a bit finicky to operate. It was based on AT-W1000 headphones supplemented with an Echofone which is a supertweeter for headphones. You can read more about it...

I have been noticing for a while that if I press lightly on my AT-W1000 closed headphones while listening that it improves the sound. Everything tightens up and it is easier to follow the sound of individual instruments. One possibility is that I am simply moving the drivers closer to my ears...

Magnatune.com is now offering a download membership where for $18 month (minimum 3 months) you can download as much of their music as you want. Music is available in many different formats including lossless and WAV. And fully 50% of all the money goes directly to the artists. Their slogan is...

See my later post below for the solution to my problem with the custom molds. Here is the original post about how I was having a problem with them: I have been really enjoying my Etymotic ER4S especially since I got Apuresound's S cable for them. The sound is incredibly close to what I get...

It has been out a few months now, and yet I can't find any info yet on here about how this dac/amp sounds. Has anyone had a chance to gather some impressions or comparisons? Even a sentence or two would be nice. Thanks!

In order to maximize my marital bliss and also the return on my audio dollar, I listen to music mostly on a very nice set of headphones. One of the inherent drawbacks to most headphone listening is the lack of stereo crossfeed. With speakers the sound from each speaker goes in both ears which...

Pity the poor headphone audiophile. He doesn’t have as much to play with when it comes time to tweak. He can’t put in bass traps or corner pillows to adjust room acoustics. It doesn’t do him as much good to isolate his components from vibration as there are no sound waves in the room generated...
