Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
TR-X00 Ebony owner here. I just wanted to update this thread to say that the $15 Amazon NewFantasia cable has basically fixed the microphonics problem that I personally felt plagued these headphones. Always loved the way these sound, but found the microphonics on the stock cable (and the...- steaz

Grado Fan Club!
Hey everybody. Wanted to check in as a first time Grado owner. I bought a pair of SR60e's on a whim when I was demoing headphones in New York. Gotta say they really surprise me with their sound. I own a pair of HD-598 Senns and am seriously thinking I prefer my SR60s, at least for now!- steaz

Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread
Had my W4R's for about a week now. Love them. I do think it's odd that joker made the comment in his review about these being forgiving when you don't have a perfect seal. I find that, although they sound pretty good with whatever tips I'm using, they are quite finicky with your tip...- steaz

Earsonics SM64: The Impressions Thread
How hard are these to power? I'm thinking of upgrading my Phonak PFE 112s (another fairly inefficient IEM). From what I understand, the SM64s are pretty difficult to drive, and from searching this thread, I can't find a thorough answer to whether or not they're acceptable unamped. I would be...- steaz

Did I melt my e7?
I'm not totally sure if that's where the battery is located. The spot where the bubble appeared is just over the mini-usb port, which is what is used for charging, so I would guess that the battery isn't too far away.- steaz

Did I melt my e7?
It looks like my recently-purchased e7 has melted just above the mini usb port on the lower left side of the device. I had it plugged into my PC and was using it for only a few minutes when I noticed that the device had become extremely hot, and then noticed this bubble. Is this something...- steaz

Strange Problem with my Phonak PFEs
So I recently (2 weeks ago) bought a pair of Phonak PFEs. I've been absolutely loving them, especially since they are the first phone I've ever paid >$100 for. I've been generally using them during my metro commute to and from work (live in DC) and powering them with my iPhone 4. I've loved the...- steaz

Phonak Audeo - Grey or Black Filters?
Just got a set of Phonaks in the mail today. Have to say, I'm amazed by how different the two filters sound. And how much LOUDER the grey filters are.- steaz
