    Introduction, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Head-Fi

    I just got the M50 today, and they're exactly what I want in a pair of headphones, significantly better than the HD280 Pro and the small bunch of IEMs I tried. I don't think I could have made a better choice.   :)

    JVC FX-101 (+MEElectronics M9 and M31, and Audio Technica M50 soon)

    The Audio Technica M50 just arrived today, and they're everything I want from my headphones. I'd say their sound is the closest I got (can get?) to my KRK RP6G2 monitors with headphones, and I don't intend to search for something closer. I feel like I might actually be able to write music at...

    JVC FX-101 (+MEElectronics M9 and M31, and Audio Technica M50 soon)

    I took the stock tips that were mounted on the M31 and put them on the FX101. I'm pretty sure it makes for the best fit I've had with the FX101. As a result, it also shows me how truly monstrous the bass on the FX101 is. Much too much. With an imperfect fit (from the JVC stock tips), I could...

    JVC FX-101 (+MEElectronics M9 and M31, and Audio Technica M50 soon)

    M31 Android listening session. I haven't messed with the tips at all, the stock ones that were mounted on the phones when I got them were an instant fit, and they sound good to me as is.   Songs that sounded fantastic on these: Dirt Road and a Boat from Soundwave by Mathew Jonson and The...

    JVC FX-101 (+MEElectronics M9 and M31, and Audio Technica M50 soon)

    I just got the MEElectronics M9 and M31 today, but sadly, the 1/8"-1/4" TRS adaptor from the Sennheiser HD280 doesn't fit them. It wasn't a perfect fit for the FX101 either, but it did work for them. Anyway, this means I can't give them a proper listen just yet.   I gave them a very brief...

    The diary entries of a little girl nearing 30!

    15 King Crimson songs shared and not one of them is Epitaph? Not one of them is 21st Century Schizoid Man? :(

    Introduction, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Head-Fi

    Quote: I did a quick search in that forum, and it seems the last time an Israeli Head-Fi get-together was even discussed was back in 2007, with nothing since.     Thanks MuppetFace. I like my name too. :D   I already started with my impressions on the first pair that arrived (the...

    Listening more now, and even without the EQ enabled, it sounds like the spike around 6-7khz toned down. On the other hand, the highs still sound rolled off, and could use some boosting.   Anyway, I'm expecting to pick up another delivery on Sunday.

    JVC FX-101 (+MEElectronics M9 and M31, and Audio Technica M50 soon)

    I just got my delivery from Amazon UK, pretty surprising since I placed that order two days ago, so now I'm the proud owner of an M-Audio Axiom 25, and a pair of JVC FX101 (pink ones! :D). Still waiting on the main order from eBay via Hong Kong of a pair of Audio Technica M50, and directly from...

    Introduction, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Head-Fi

    I guess I did it wrong or something, since no one replied. :p   Anyways, today I ordered a new MIDI keyboard, and I couldn't help the temptation to bundle another cheap-ish pair of IEM to that order. :x   Now I'm waiting for the JVC HA-FX101 Xtreme Xplosives (in pink!), along with the...

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

    Thanks for the massive review, ljokerl, This thread turned out to be my main resource for choosing my first IEMs, which are currently en route to me. Namely the MEElectronics M9 (which reads like the ideal first pair for me to try) and M31 (which reads like a guilty pleasure). There were a...

    Sigh.....You can only show a horse where the water is.....

    One of these two might be the study you wanted, or more accurately, the well written article referencing various relevant studies. http://youarenotsosmart.com/2011/06/10/the-backfire-effect/ http://youarenotsosmart.com/2010/06/23/confirmation-bias/

    Introduction, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Head-Fi

    Spoiler: I didn't really learn to stop worrying, I just thought it was a cute thread title. :p   Hello everyone, I'm Melody, and as my profile would tell you, I'm an awesome music chick. I've been utterly obsessed with every aspect of music since age 12. Listening to it...
