They'll need to be on US Amazon but able to ship to Canada, since I'll be getting a $500 Amazon gift card for the American site. I'm not really looking for basshead-type headphones, but I have found that I prefer headphones with a somewhat exaggerated low end—so long as it doesn't overpower the...

  My guess is that it is optical and would be activated if I plugged an adapter into it. I'll probably just see if I can find an inexoensive mini-toslink adapter to plug in. 

It's right next to the headphone jack, so it's more of a case of accidentally plugging the headphones in. There's no response from the computer or the headphones when I do it though, which suggests to me that it is in fact optical.   I believe I've also tried it with a 3.5mm to RCA coaxial...

I have a Lenovo Y50, and I'd like to be able to use its S/PDIF port. I have no idea if it's optical or coaxial though, and I'm having trouble finding any way to determine which it is. It's a regular 3.5mm jack, but the laptop doesn't recognize anything that I have that's plugged in to it (read...

  That would probably convince me not to buy from either LMYE or VSONIC again, honestly. 

Well, preordered one of each as soon as they went on sale. I've been wanting some new IEMs, and getting 4 pairs of VSONIC IEMs for $95 CAD is a pretty good deal to me. We'll see how they are (maybe I'll review them).

To the best of my knowledge, Ety does their custom sleeves like this:   1. You purchase the IEMs themselves through an authorized retailer. 2. You register on the custom sleeve website and reference where you purchased your IEMs. 3. You pay for the custom sleeves. 3. You visit one of...

I have a laptop that I want to use to listen to music with my Little Dot I+, however the laptop completely ruins ground and causes a ground loop when plugged in. This creates horrible noise through the amp. Using a Grub DAC sort of helps, but only in that it makes most things louder than the...

I was looking for some new IEMs to replace my DBA-02s that went through the washer (whoops... they still work but the male end plug is dicey now), looking through Joker's thread, and decided on these. Went to LendMeUrEars and they're on clearance for $130 USD (163 SGD). That's not a bad deal, so...

I bought a Little Dot I+ headphone amp off another Head-Fi user recently, and when I hooked it up to my laptop I discovered something awful! First of all, there's some sort of ground loop issue or other power related issue that generates huge amounts of noise when the laptop is connected to the...

I have the same problem. My guess is it's linked to our post count (i.e we're too new to be allowed to PM), but it should say that instead of that we've sent our allotted 2.

I bought a pair of SRH440s, then I read a review on here that said they need an EQ or a headphone amp to sound good (ie not like cheap earbuds). Now, I have my laptop hooked up to a Philips MC235B, but that's not exactly a headphone amp (although it does sort of function as one, I'll admit). I'm...
