    CanJam SoCal 2015, March 28-29, 2015

    My fiancee will be out of town at her bachelorette party, so there's literally no excuse for me not not come up to LA for this. Sounds incredible--I'll see you guys there!

    3rd Annual San Diego Head-Fi Meet: Saturday, November 1st, 2014 - Meet Impressions Thread

    Awesome pictures and time lapse, Darin! I didn't get a chance to meet you officially, but thanks a ton for putting this on. Meeting everyone was awesome and there was some great gear to try out. Can't wait to see you all at the next one!

    Official K-81 DJ thread

      Found these headphones a couple months ago and loved them. Came here to share a few things: my experience, a modification, and some sad news.   Awhile back, I went looking for a good pair of portable cans, since my AKG Q701s aren't exactly ideal for travel. I wanted something smaller...

    September 27 Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley mini-meet

    Sadly I moved to San Diego, so I probably won't be able to make it. Alas! Have fun guys :-)

    3rd Annual San Diego Head-Fi Meet: Saturday, November 1st, 2014

    Hey all! Getting excited for this, even though it's still more than a month away :-) :-(   Small change to my gear: I won't be bringing my FiiO E9 (because it broke completely, like I expected it would). However, I'll bring my Audioengine D1, which I got to replace it.   That's all!

    3rd Annual San Diego Head-Fi Meet: Saturday, November 1st, 2014

    Hi Darin/fellow San Diegans (is it Diegans?)!   I just moved here from LA, and had so much fun at their March meetup that I've been itching to do another one...so talk about perfect timing! I'd love to attend.   I'm thinking it might be a good idea for me to grab some table space this year...

    Looking for a Desktop Headphone Amp that Works with Speakers

    Of course, it's all the expensive ones. :-/   The Monoprice one does look ingriguing--however, it looks so similar to the E9 that I'm wondering if it's going to have the same build quality problems. Also, this comment on Reddit seems to say that it doesn't have the feature I'm looking...

    Looking for a Desktop Headphone Amp that Works with Speakers

    Hey all,   I am looking for something that seems simple, but in practice is turning out much harder to find than I thought.   I want a desktop headphone amp with support for speaker passthrough. That is, I want an amp that will send music to my headphones when they're plugged in, but when I...

    My Beyerdynamic DT 235 Mod: Decrease Muddiness and Tighten Up Bass

      My main pair of cans is an AKG Q701, but I needed something a bit more portable (and closed-back) for traveling--but I didn't want to spend a ton of money. I got a used pair of black DT 235 'phones on Amazon for about $30. They were...shall we say, a good start! But not perfect.   I liked...

    Q701 impressions thread

    Haha it's okay, I've been around here for awhile...I just don't post much :-) I bought my last pair of headphones a few years ago with advice from Head-Fi as well.   Quote:   For what it's worth, my bumps are rock hard (I'm sure there's innuendo somewhere but I'm just going to skip...

    Q701 impressions thread

      Hey everyone, just finished a few weeks of headphone testing and finally landed on the Q701, so I thought I'd join in the fun in this (very long) thread! These are unlike anything else I've ever heard. I read a lot of stuff that didn't leave me with high expectations, but these suckers spoke...

    Official 2014 SoCal Head-Fi Meet, March 22, 2014, Westin South Coast Plaza

    Alriiiight, I'm totally there. Like many others, I won't need booth space or anything--I'll just bring my one measly pair of headphones :-)   See you all there!

    Official Los Angeles Regional Summer Meet - Saturday, July 20, 2013 Warner Center Marriott, Woodland Hills

    Aw, same weekend as San Deigo Comic Con? That makes this...difficult.   Will registrations for this close at any point? At $15 I'm tempted to register just in case something happens with Comic Con and I'll be back in LA. My plans for Comic Con are...volatile.

    Review by 'Gyroscope352' on item 'Shure SRH750 DJ Headphones (Black)'

    Sound I ordered these along with three other pairs of headphones to find a good bass-heavy pair in this price range for electronic music and death metal. I tried the Denon AH-D1100, the Ultrasone HFi 780, and the ever-popular Audio-Technica ATH-M50. The Shures won me over by quite a big margin...
