Beyerdynamic DT 1350 vs Sennheiser HD 25-1 ii
Anyone have suggestions. A good friend of mine gave me his opinion, which has been great in helping me decide, but I'm still torn. I love the price of the HD 25-ii, but I'm worried they will snap because of the plastic. Likewise on the DT 1350s, I'm worried about the metal bending from a good...- Rebel908

New to portable amps
Hey Head-fi'ers I'm looking to get a portable for my Beyerdynamic DT 1350. I listen to primarily rock, metal and ska, with the occassional pop, hip hop and rap. Don't want to break the bank, but I don't know the average cost either, help would be appreciated.- Rebel908

IE8 or SE530?
So Best Buy has an offer for 20-30% off MP3 player accessories and they have the Se530 and IE8 on that list too. What are y'all's opinion on them? Which one is better? I listen to primarily rock music, a lot of instrumental and vocal pop and bass heavy rap and hip hop. I also have to...- Rebel908

Monster Turbines for 130?
Saw at Best Buy near me the Turbines for 129.99, good deal? I have a pair of Turbine Pro Gold's, but I already am putting a lot of where on them and I don't want them to break as their has been cosmetic damage to them already (the rubber under the right bud broke off). Is it a good...- Rebel908

Opinion: Monster Turbine Pro Copper
So I had been bidding on a Monster Turbine Pro Copper on ebay and lost, but was just issued a second chance offer on it. They are supposed to be sealed and the price is 112.50 and 16 dollars shipping, which I believe to be well below the market price of the MTPC. THese are supposed to be sealed...- Rebel908

Good pair of 'phones for under 200?
Sorry about that. I listen to a lot of music, mostly rock and rap. I would like to have balanced headphones too. I like bass, but not when it washes out everything else. I like being able to pick out the different instruments and would not want to sacrifice that.- Rebel908

Preparing for the the jump: Universal to Custom help
So I'm really considering the jump from Westone 3 to at least using the UM56 with them, if not jumping ship to the ES3X or the UE 7 or UE10. However, seeing as how head-fi has such a diverse community of audiophiles, I'd like to ask: In your opinion, what company produces the best Custom...- Rebel908

Yet another recommendation plz?
I've been in the market for new 'phones since my second-hand Westone 3's started bugging out (the right bud cuts in and out). I've been contemplating whether or not I should purchase another pair of Westone 3's, albeit brand new one's. I listen to a lot of rock music and to an extent...- Rebel908

Looking for new IEM's
My second-hand Westone 3's are messing up and I'm looking to get new IEM's. Obviously I am considering new Westone 3's but the Sennheiser IE8's are intriguing. Also eBay has a lot of new Triple-Fi 10's for sub 200, but I am at a crossroads. I listen to a lot of rock and hip-hop and I like a...- Rebel908

Damaged bud repairs?
My Triple-Fi 10 pros are damaged and I'm looking to get them fixed. UE Customer support is terrible, seeing as I can't even get into contact with them, does anyone know a third party that repairs IEM's? I'm also looking to have them turned into Customs too, so I would like to kill two birds...- Rebel908

Ultimate Ears cable, am I doing it wrong?
I'm on my second cable (including the one that came with it) for my triple-fi's since June. I really don't like how stiff they are. However, I do love that I can take my cable out and just order the replacement.- Rebel908
