VSonic GR07 Bass Edition Impressions
Hey just thought I'd add my impressions trying to find an upgrade to my current Shure SE215. After trying many other headphones (Jays, Monster, UE, Etymotic, Rock-It Sounds and Sony) I have to say that these are easily the best. Although the Rock-Its are exceptionally clear (but also super...- badhack

Rockit Sounds R-50 Reviews and Impressions
Quote: Ya that's kind of what I think. I love the SE215 because they are super rugged and have decent sound, but the low end is muddy. The HF5 and R-50 have anemic bass but it is clear. I am not sure if I find the R-50 too bright though. The HF5 are definitely accurate and revealing...- badhack

Sennheiser IE80's Impressions Thread
Does anybody know if the IE80s are being discontinued? They are not listed on their website unless I specifically search for them. (In other words they are not listed under the "Headphones & Headsets" page that I could find.) I thought the IE800s might be a replacement but clearly they are not...- badhack

Android phones and USB DACs
I can confirm the Benchmark DAC1-PRE does NOT work with the Samsung Galaxy S III. I verified USB OTG with a kb and mouse and that works fine (as well as providing an amusing smartphone experience).
