    The discovery thread!

    Can any xb90 owners chime in on whether the meelec tips have the tendency to get stuck in the ear? My shure tips sound great but the nozzle tip on the 90's is smaller so the rubber tips get stuck in my ear often. Might try the smaller comply tips instead.

    The discovery thread!

    Just got the XB90EX's today from Accessoryjack; shipping took about a week. So far WOW that sub-bass hits so hard without being boomy. The highs are a bit recessed at this point though. I'm gonna give them a good burn in.    What tips are XB90 owners using, stock, foamies, or other buds? I...

    IEMs under $100 with good bass

    Just did a lot of research on this very topic. Seems like the CKS77 have that punchy bass you like and for a cheaper price. I just picked up the XB90EX's and those are the reported bass kings without muddy, viewed mids/highs.   I highly recommend the Denon AH-C751's; you can probably get...

    The Monoprice MP9927 PG 208.. MP8320 (MEP-933)..The $7.11 club..

    I got these on a whim while shopping on Monoprice. So far the sound is great and it's even better after the tape mod. They could rival sound from IEMs in the $30-50 range. But you negatives kinda balance out the low price.   Monoprice should just release IEMs with the same drivers but with...

    Hi guys I'm looking for a new pair of bookshelf speakers for my computer and I'm deciding between either the Swans M-200 or the AV123 x-ls speakers. I really want to get the Swans since they have the internal amp but several recent reviews on Newegg seem to point out quality issues with the...

    ZVM Owners: Any problems with your device?

    Just got mine a few days ago and the only issue I have is that the touchpad is kinda crazy and hard to get used to. I find myself making wrong selections often and it has been kinda hard to adjust to (for me at least). Another problem with the zen is that it requires that you plug in a little...

    7506's/V6's = good for my needs?

    V6's are great cans but you might not like them very much because of the lack of mids. They are very flat sounding but the bass is definitely there and goes very low if you according to your music preference.

    Real Estate N00b

    Oh man I should ask my dad. I recall many situations over the past 2 years where I just crusing with my dad and when he sees a "For Sale" sign, he'll drop by to take a look at it. A few times, he even bought the house. AFAIK he just buys and selles houses. Maybe you should take a course or...

    Computer noise affects music listening

    After turning down my case fans and adjusting the cpu fan a little, I found that most of the sound coming from my computer was from the harddrives. Try picking up a few Panoflo 80mm fans from eBay which push a decent amount of CFM at only 21dB. You can also try what's called "harddrive...
