Shootout: 114 Portable Headphones Reviewed (Xiaomi Mi Headphones added 04/21/2015)
What a fantastic, gripping review thread. Two of my current sets were reviewed. I discovered the Panasonic HTX7s after being lured in by their styling. I wasn't blown away initially, as I found them quite bright for my liking, but burn-in has definitely helped them become my 'serious'...- matt_wants

Sony MDR-XB500's? Opinions?
Which? The Sonys or the Panasonics? At times the Pannys are mediocre, but for some odd reason, as the iPod's battery is getting low they sound a fair bit better, more open. I try not to be critical when listening as to me that's a bit too sterile when it's one of my favourite albums, so...- matt_wants

Panasonic RP-HTX7 thread
I appreciate 'em. With roughly a thousand hours burn-in over the two years I've owned them, they aren't particularly unbalanced any more and the once boomy bass has settled to a more rounded nature. They seem to really enjoy hard rock and metal, but anything for want of a better word 'urban'...- matt_wants

Sony MDR-XB500's? Opinions?
Just taken a punt on the 500s given how people say they're ideal for bassheads and I'd consider myself to be one at almost all times. They were in a clearance sale at Play-dot-com for £40 so seemed like a worthwhile investment. I came looking for comparisons with the RP-HTX7s and was...- matt_wants

Best Closed Headphones for rap $60 and under
Panasonic HTX7s might be worth a look. Big bass and not much mids, so ideal for rap, in my experience.- matt_wants

Koss PPro users, listen to THIS.
Hmm, if it wasn't such an effort, wouldn't it be great if these digital processing techniques could be made available to work with any headphone to perform to the best that 'phone could handle. I imagine getting a new pair and downloading the driver file to set the module to work with that...- matt_wants

The Lossy Deathwatch
Why is there so much 'I can't hear it so no-one else can' attitude around here? I find it belittles people who can detect differences. Everyone's ears are different and one person's perceived hearing ability isn't going to be the catch-all for everyone. If you have the hearing range and know the...- matt_wants

Apple Lossless format heavier on iPod battery?
In my experience, I've walked 45 minutes plus with my Classic using AIFF and it didn't need to stop and buffer to ram, which I was very surprised about. I can't say I've noticed worse battery life (charge mine roughly every two weeks if I use it nightly), but then I've had an iPod Mini and iPod...- matt_wants

Pictures of Your Portable Rig [Part XIII]
I got it from UK electronics store Maplins and posted about it to let UK owners know, but I saw a picture this weekend where someone had done the mod and they're the same design, so I'd guess they're one and the same.- matt_wants

iPod line out vs "good" headphone out
RE iPod Dock Line Outs; I have an 80gb Classic, that I use with the original iPod dock, which I got when I bought my first full-size iPod in April 2005. The line-out in this model is unaffected by the volume control on the iPod and that includes with the original 30gb Photo this Classic...- matt_wants
