    Wired earbud with mic recommendation?

    So, background. I use HD6xx for main listening. KSC75 when i want something light i can toss around. And Sure E2c when i need isolation. A lot of times i'm on my apple ear buds between calls, and would love to find a better sounding replacement. The pros of the ear bud i find are that they...

    Koss KSC75's. Dont Forget This Giant Killer in all the ''Hidden Gem'' Hype.

    i just got some ksc75’s as I’m looking for a travel headphone setup. My main listening is on a pair of hd6xx. Before that my main pair was a set of hd580 precision’s. Maybe I’m just too used to the sennheiser sound after more than a decade with them, but I find the ksc75 pretty harsh and ugly...

    in line passive notch filter for KSC75?

    Hey all! I picked up a pair of ksc75’s to see if I could use them as a travel alternative to my HD6xx. Unfortunately there’s something going on in the high end that my ears/brain do not like. I don’t have my own measuring equipment, but looking at the measurements...

    Grafting Ety ER-4's onto iPhone earbuds

    Well, i finally got an iPod touch (mainly for skype-ing abilities) and i'm very happy with it. But i hate having to carry around both my ER-4's (for listening) and the Apple earbuds (for skype-ing). So i was going to graft my ER-4's onto the apple cable. My plan was to de-solder the apple...

    Recommendations for an IEM to be used as an IEM?

    Can anyone comment on the Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 pro's isolation? Looks like those are around my price range. I was hoping to spend around $150, but i could conceivably go up to $200, maybe more, especially as I look around and custom is becoming more appealing. That HearYourself.com...

    Recommendations for an IEM to be used as an IEM?

    Hey all. I was hoping to tap into the wealth of experience here to get some suggestions for an IEM to actually be used in a live music setting. Strong bass is important for me. Obviously the amount of isolation is also important. I was hoping to spend around $150, but I guess I could go...

    Headphone gift suggestion, drumline music, <$100

    Hey, I'm looking for a present for my friend and was thinking of getting him some headphones. He really likes listening to drumline and marching-band music, so I'm looking for headphones that would work well with that high-impact and deep bass. Need easy to drive cans as they won't have a...

    Impulse buy - Entech 205.2

    okay, did more testing. This time with a different AMP. I think the Entech is fine. I recall reading that these have a bit of a hot output? Is that correct? I think the output is just too hot for my little C&C box headphone amp and the input is clipping. When plugged into my home theater...

    Impulse buy - Entech 205.2

    EDIT: actually, i think the unit is fine. When plugged into another amp it's okay... i guess the output of the number cruncher is just too hot for the C&C box amp.
