Help with my IEM search, detailed, but also fun? Info within.
Hi all, sorry if this post is a repeat, or retreading old ground, but I did some searches and didn't find anything particularly similar (particularly in my price range). Anyway, here goes. I have trying to find a good solid pair of IEMs for general commuting/walking around use. I suppose...- greendream

A question about frequency response, particularly treble.
Firstly, I'm sorry if this is going over old ground, but I couldn't think of the correct search term to check for this question's previous existence. I did have a few looks through though, and found nothing. Anyway, onto the question. On most frequency response curves I have seen the bass...- greendream

Help identifying an IEM
Hi I remember seeing an IEM on one blog or another that had a clever little bit of design where a small piece of string attached to the body of the IEM at one end and to the cable of the IEM at the other created a bit of slack where the cable joined the IEM itself, and therby (hopefully)...- greendream

ATH-FC700. Why I love my new headphones... And thanks Head-Fi!
First of all, I feel I should state that I'm not an audiophile (unless that simply means that I love music, in which case, I am!), and so I don't really have ears finely tuned enough to accurately compare different headphones or audio setups. Secondly, I should say that before now I have only...- greendream

What to expect from a £30 price difference?
In my quest for some good portable closed back headphones I found two intriguing Audio-Technica models... There's the ATH-FC700 (~£50) and the ATH-ES55BK (~£80). Now both are closed, and both are well reviewed (although, interestingly, it's harder to find the ES55 for sale?), so now I am...- greendream

Portable closed back showdown.
I completely forgot the sennheiser hd228/238 as well. What does anyone know about these guys?- greendream

Portable closed back showdown.
As for loud vs. discrete... Well primarily I don't want to hear the train! But I also don't want to wind up other passengers (as I have been the guy listening to leaky headphones and getting pissed off before!). When you say the ATH-es55 can be had for cheap, how cheap is that? I feel like...- greendream

Portable closed back showdown.
Hi! I have been searching around these forums for a while, and although there's a few threads about closed back phones it normally comes down to HD25s or Beyer DT1350. I used to have HD25s, and they were GREAT headphones, but they weren't VERY portable, and they are also very expensive...- greendream

PX100-IIs not cutting it, what can I replace them with?
I have tried IEM's in the past, but I find them really uncomfortable after about half an hour and are pretty fiddly to get in. Plus (I'm sure high end models sort this out though) I find the "stethoscope" effect (where vibrations up the cord are really audible, sort of underwater sounding)...- greendream

PX100-IIs not cutting it, what can I replace them with?
Now when I say not cutting it I don't mean in sound, I have grown to love these guys and after leaving them for an overnight burn-in everythintg balanced out. Where they are not cutting it, however, is in my office. They bleed too much, my colleagues are getting annoyed, and now that I...- greendream

Good songs to test bass on headphones?
A song I always like to use to test headphones is Machine No. 2 By Leo Kottke. The version from Mudlark (1971). It's good for a lot of reasons. Firstly, I know the song really well, and secondly it has everything you'd want to test headphones on. The bass is rapid and has many runs up and down...- greendream

How to improve the Senn PX100-II?
Hello everyone. This is my first post, but I have been reading the forums here for a couple of weeks now (go procrastination!). I recently got really frustrated with the terrible sound I was getting out of my ipod with some crummy MDR-V150 headphones so I bought the Sennheiser PX100-II...- greendream
