Unboxing and Packaging   The Bose QuietControl QC30 active noise canceling bluetooth headphones comes in the usual premium Bose packaging. The box folds open left and right revealing the headphones in a molded plastic tray. The headphones come with three sized ear tips, USB charging cable, and...

In the office I always ended up using my KSC75 because:   - it is comfortable for prolong wear  (and I have glasses) - it does not block out sound (I like to hear what's going on) - I can wear just one side (again, when I have to talk to people) - most importantly, it sounds good, esp...

I am trying out the Tapatalk app for browsing forums on the iPad. It definitely is faster than using safari. It is very much a simple drill down type user interface. I seems not to be able to do searches. For general browsing and catching up on threads it is working well. Recommended if you are...

I am thinking about getting some custom ear pieces, first for my jawbone and then my E500. Does anyone have good or bad experience with getting ear impression done in the Boston area? Pref. in the city? Thanks, P.K.

Moved from the old thread: I'll off a free location -- my office at South St near South Station. Can fit probably 10 - 15 setups. Sat or Sunday. It's a pretty large open loft space. Best for public transportation all MTBA lines and commuter rails also. If you drive paid parking will be...

Apple of course sells $20 cables and $50 docks. I am looking for something to charge my iPhone 3G, possibly also sync it, and possibly get a LOD out of it also. What are some good in expensive choices that you use? Thanks, P.K.

My E500 tip broke off while in its case. headphones.com looked up my sales receipt and emailed it to me. Send the phone to Shure, and just less than 2 weeks door to door I find a brand new box waiting for me at home with a new pair (as far as I can tell) of SE530. It came with the new black...

I retrieved my Shure oval case from my backpack, about to zip it open to get my E500, and heard a rattle inside. Openning the case, and a grey tip comes rolling out. The "shaft" on one of the ear piece has broke off, while in the case? Now I have to fish for the invoice and send it back to...

Any thing worth picking up or checking out while I am in Beijing and Shanghai? Any headfiers living over there? I'll be there in a week or so. Thanks, P.K.

I got a Fubar III and just started using it with my iMac. It feeds into a mini galaxy tube amp. I got the III because sometimes I am too lazy to fire up the tube amp, and would just use the built in amp in the III. However I just realized that the line out of the Fubar III is controlled by the...

So my very first tube amp arrived. An audio Space mini-Galaxy I !! Since I have no experience with tube amps at all, I hope you fellow head-fi'ers can help me take care and get the most out of this thing. For example: 1) break-in period -- I assume that's needed, 2) heat -- I had it on for...

Hi all, I have been planning my first CMoy, studying Tangent's documents, esp. the one on virtual grounding. Now I am completely confused... - The TLE2426 is suppose to be a "drop in" replacement, which I read meaning instead of the two 4.7k splitter resistors, just put the 2426 in place...

Hi, I am planning to build my first CMOY. I will be using it on my desk, between my laptop's docking station's line out and my "soundbar", a speaker bar (with a headphone out!) on my DELL LCD. What I want to do is to have a switch so that I can switch the line out between going into the CMOY...

Hi all, I am thinking about building my first CMOY. I have not been to it for years, but there is a store call "you do it electronics" in MA. I remembered they use to carry stuff for hobbist. Any DIY'er in the New England area use them, instead of going to RS or order parts online? Thanks...

After following Head-Fi for awhile, I "upgraded" to a pair of E2C. Having used that for a few months, and realized what potential is out there for good sound I am ready for the next step. However I am unsure as to what to do first. I need some help to, well, spend my hard earn $$....: source...
