Hi,   The tweeter/treble driver in the left earbud on my Triplefi 10 has stopped working. I confirmed that it is the driver and not the cable.  I bought this set as a backup pair a couple of years ago and just took them out of the box two months ago. They have less than 50 hours on them.  ...

I would suggest you try the Monster Supertips using the included sleeve adapter.  I got the X10's in the Amazon deal and have been playing around with them since Monday.  The stock tips did not seal well in my right ear.  I then tried using the Monster gel tips and noticed much improved...

I bought a 32gb J3 a few months ago.  I am very happy with it for several reasons aside from the EQ.  First, it has native support for FLAC which means I don't have to deal with conversion and it's one less thing to hassle with.  Second, the internal amplifier is as strong and clean as any I...

I saw the 598 for $165 or $168 from Electronics Expo recently.  It was a dealzon coupon code but you could probably get the same price simply by calling Electronics Expo.  I recently bought a Denon D2000 from Electronics Expo and the price was right.  They were out of stock when I ordered but...

Life.  Life gets in the way constantly.  Demanding job, kids, soon to be ex-wife (double credit on that one), new romantic interest (why do women always insist that you take off the headphones to listen? I can hear.  I promise-ish.), friends, house, car...all have needs.  If only my mother would...

Quote: My view is that this advice makes good sense if you know that you will remain interested in this hobby and continue to invest in it (Part of me wants to scream at you to run for the door while you still can).  If you plan on buying an amp and are patient, then buying the Beyer's...

The soundstage is much wider with the Beyers.  Part of that is a function of being open-back and part is just those particular headphones.  The Denon D2000 has a nice soundstage for closed-back headphones.  I don't think I could quantify the difference in a specific number.  The difference is...

If you are not planning on using an external amplifier, my view is that the DT990 is not a good choice.  The sound you will get from the DT990 without an amplifier is worse than you would get from many less expensive headphones which can be driven adequately from a sound card or portable...

I am listening to the Denon D2000 as I type this.  I just compared it to the DT990 ten minutes ago.  The DT990 is much, much brighter, has more powerful bass and a larger soundstage.  The D2000 has a much smoother, warmer sound with clearer mids.  The DT990 needs an amp.  The Denon is much...

Why are Beats opposed with the evangelical fervor ordinarily reserved for devil worshiping heathens?  Only because the fate of Western Civilization hangs in the balance.  You don't need the psychic hotline to connect the dots:  Vandals overrun Rome 455 A.D. - end of Western Civilization = Beats...

It really is not as much about volume as fullness of the overall sound.  You can hear the music without an external amplifier but you won't hear the music those headphones can make directly out of an mp3 player.  Even with my Cowon J3, which is louder than any other mp3 player I have owned...

I have both the 840 and the 595.  They are very different headphones.  The 840 is much warmer with pronounced mids and fairly punchy bass.  The 595 is is what I would describe as more neutral, or perhaps just colder, sometimes to the point of being dull.  I much prefer the 840 for most things...
