    Reply to review by 'kaizer-j' on item 'OSTRY KC06 High Fidelity Stereo Inner-Ear Earphones'

    Thanks for the review. I wonder how do these compare to other IEMs? It's a bit hard to judge how good do these really sound without any point of reference.

    Hifiman HE-560 vs LCD-3 vs HD800 vs K812 -- quick impressions

    Thanks for sharing the impressions, I'm particularly keen on 3 of the headphones mentioned above - more so on the LCD-3... I can't help but wonder if it would be a drastic step up from my current LCD-2 (which I do like very much btw)... I guess it all comes down to optimal system matching...

    The BEST-LOOKING Headphones

    'Understated' is exactly the appeal in the Valkyrie headphone. Some people don't like brash, shout and yell "look at me" kind of styling... G-shock watches are an example of brash and gaudy looking watch, which is fine but you won't call them "classy" or "elegant". Panerai watches on the other...

    X2. Magnificent sound for the price... Best of all they don't need an amp to sound great. :)

    Rank the Headphones that You Own.

    Not a fan of the bright & treble heavy sound of the DT880, especially in the lower treble region (5~8khz). DT1350 on the other hand is more balanced, where treble sounds more natural and sibilance-free - hence the higher ranking.

    Nice... :) How are you liking it and what headphone do you pair it with?

    I have $200, what to buy?

    I saw a lot of good recommendations here, but honestly a few are 'side grades' rather than upgrades, i.e. Grado SR60, ATH-M40 - different 'flavours' of sound for more or less similar SQ. If you have the chance to audition any of these, I strongly suggest you do so, trust your ears more. :)

    New Member Introductions thread

    Hello everyone, my name is Jay - my introduction is way overdue, but since I'm more active on these boards recently, I thought an introduction won't hurt. My journey begins with Hippo Shroom IEMs, which was gifted to me. Having zero knowledge on audio at the time, I was blown away by the sound...
