I joined head-fi Feb 11, 2004. I haven't been back for a while. Hello again.

Hi, I'm travelling from Australia to the USA in two weeks with an iPhone 4s. I have asked Telstra to unlock it, so that will be done soon. I need it to have voice and data and I only need it for three weeks in the USA. Can I just walk into a mobile phone shop when I get to the USA and buy a...

I have a Samsung Series 6 55 inch LED TV that has no analogue audio outputs. I use a toslink cable from the TV to a Geffen Dolby digital to stereo analogue converter to plug the TV in my NAD stereo amp. Australian HD free to air digital channels transmit in Dolby digital. I only have free to air...

I have the Beyer DT990's and was very happy with them until I stopped using them for a while and now I tried to use them but the paint seems to be coming off the headband making them unusable. Is there a fix for this? The paint is really sticky and is difficult to get off anything that it...

Hi guys, I haven't spent much time at head-fi since I got my Beyer DT990's. If anyone is interested I have started a blog to document the 4WD driving trip that my wife are about to start, going around Australia (anti-clockwise). http://laparoundtheblock.blogspot.com/

I want to start a new blog for a trip that we are doing soon. I have never done this before. It needs to be easy for my wife and I to use while travelling and I want to add photos of the trip to the blog. Which would be bestter blogger or wordpress?

I think I'll get a Canon EOS 400D / Digital Rebel XTi with the standard zoom. Is it a good SLR?

This country is the best place to live on earth. I love the freedom, I love multiculturalism, and I love the opportunities. This is my 4WD on one of our outback trips: http://www.australiaday.gov.au http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Day

http://www.v-moda.com/ Any thoughts about these? They look good.

I was wondering if any consumer audio company, like Sony, Panasonic, Marantz, Denon or even NAD make a standalone DAC?

I looked into head units to replace my old Alpine and decided on the Alpine CDA-9857 head unit, partly because of it's really good iPod integration. It's a great unit. I haven't had enough time to have a really good play with it yet but it seems great...

I was considering getting a headfive but maybe it's worth getting something a bit better, although it's hard to beat the value of a headfive. I have a Single Power PPX3 and may be interested in a solid state amp that is as good as the PPX3 or even better than it. If I had a headfive what...

The World Cup! Is here!

I'm thinking of getting my brother some Koss KSC75 for use in the gym but I'm worried they may fall a off with active use?

I couldn't find this question in a search. Some headphones seem to make male vocals sound too bassy and /or unnatural and I think if a headphone can reproduce male vocals naturally they must be pretty good for everything else. What are the best headphones for male vocals?

Hi, I was wondering what tips people prefer when using their Super.fi's and why? I like my EB's but sometimes the bass is a bit too strong so I'm trying to figure out which tips will help reduce the bass a bit without it disappearing.

Does Koss make a KSC75 equivalent that goes over the head and not a clip-on? My friend wants some cheap headphones and I suggested the KSC75 but he doesn't like clip-ons. Is there anything of the over the head type that comes close to the KSC75 for about the same price?

Which headphones do you recommend and don't recommend for hip-hop? These are the ones I own or have owned; I find these are good (in no specific order): Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro Sennheiser HD 595 (120 ohm) Audio-Technica ATH-A900 Sennheiser HD 25-1 Audio-Technica ATH-A500 Sennheiser...

I'm going to Washington DC from the 12th-18th March (for work) then NYC from the 18th-21st March. I'm only going to have a short amount of time to do some site seeing, shopping etc. so i need to figure out what to do there. I have been to NYC and DC once before, in 1998, so I have been to most...

Are there any headphone related podcasts? I haven't heard of any. I've been listening to lots of podcasts lately and find the whole podcasting thing a great idea. A head-fi or headphone podcast would be great. I would definitely subscribe. I may be even be interested in helping with setting one...

First impressions. I ordered some Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 EB's from earphonesolutions on Thursday night, Sydney time, and they arrived today, Tuesday Sydney time. That was quick. Earphone solution was quick to despatch, the parcel was well packaged and the order went perfectly. I would...

If you guys don't stop me I'll buy some Westone UM2's to use with my new iPod nano! I hope these are worth it for listening to hip-hop on the go!

Has anybody compared Westone UM2 & Future Sonics EM3? I get the impression that these sound quite similar? I wouldn't compare them by price alone because they use different technology.

Yeah, yeah, another "I want headphones for my iPod" thread. I love my Senn HD 25-1 for use while commuting with my 2 year old 30GB iPod but sometimes wish they were a bit smaller, so that they wouldn't take up as much space in my bag and so I don't stand out too much in a crowd. I was...

These headphones a great. The highs are great, the mids are great and the bass is great. They are sturdy and well made. They need a good amp to drive them well. I'm lovin' these. There aren't many thread about these. Tell us what you think of them?
