Yeah, the headphones sound perfect on my desktop (better source). It's all good though. The headphones sound amazing.

Okay guys. I just got my TMA-1's and I have been listening to them for like one hour.   My first impressions: - Relatively strong build quality : Headband is very strong. I suspect the first thing break in these will most likely be the swivel cups rather than the headband, and that's...

  Quote: I'm just going to add that Macbook Pro's are notorious for their hissing noise. You can get rid of it with the right cable. And I agree with Hester, I like to feel the sound (esp bass). It just makes everything sound so much exciting, like I'm at a concert. In the end, for me...

Question. Do these require extensive burn in time?

Yeah I had the around ear, the ones in the link. Idk I felt like it was overkill on the exaggeration. 

It's up to the person whether or not they can hear the differences. I'm not that much of an experienced audiophile but I can discern quality relatively easily.   I bought one of aleki's TMA-1's (currently shipped) and a straight monster cable ($9 FTW) waiting for them. I also have had the...

I've been doing some researching and I really can't find any hard reviews/information on portable headphones (not IEM's, which is what this sub-forum is filled with).   My criteria? Closed (Don't want my sound leaking) Comfortable (Going to be using while studying) Durable (I don't...

  Quote: Spot on description...My upgrade cycle was Skullcandies --> CX series --> MC5.   Same exact reaction to the sound of MC5's at first. I couldn't do anything either, because I bought them online; however, I have maybe a few more things to add.   MC5's needed a burn in...

Yes, these need a HUGE burn in time. I can honestly say they sounded so bad from the start that I wanted to just chuck them out. However, after about a good 50 hours of burn in time, now they sound so good that I don't want any other pair of headphones. bass is still weak though.

I have had these for over a month.   What I can say about the MC5's is that they are not for bass heads or more pop music based songs. The bass is weak compared to other IEM's, and the sound is extremely warm. When I first got them, they sounded like complete trash. When I mean trash, I mean...

Hmm...So I'm guessing they aren't as tank as some others. Because I plan to put them in my pocket and I wear slightly tight jeans. Any other suggestions on a "tankish" IEM?

Hello sorry for the bump but I really want to know how durable the RE0's are before purcashing them. Anybody can give me an answer?

Based on what I read, would the RE0 be my best fit? I just don't want it breaking on me after 6 months.

Hello,   I know I'm new to the forums and everything, and my first post is also one asking for advice rather than helping, but I really need some advice.   So I've been using Creative EP-630's for the last year, went through approximately two of them (possibly three in a 1.5 year span?)...
