    Any other kid head-fiers?

    Oh wow, haven’t been here in a while lol. I’m 21 now. The Shures are long gone and so is the Fiio X1 (although it was still kicking when I sold it this March!) and I’ve cycled through a number of other headphones. I’m in grad school and working now so I really don’t have time to sit and listen...

    ~$100 IEMs for iPhone - Rock

    I don’t—I lost the adaptor some time back. I’d never really used it and just assumed it wasn’t of great quality, but reading that, it doesn’t look bad at all. I might have to pick one up—thanks for the advice! I’ll have to go through my options for standard IEMs then—might get the IT01s.

    ~$100 IEMs for iPhone - Rock

    I'm looking for IEMs around $100 that I can use with my iPhone X, meaning I need a Lightning connector or Bluetooth. I'd prefer something wired, unless I can get decent quality in this price range with Bluetooth IEMs. I've been using Beats Solo 3 when out, but I really dislike over-ear...

    New: EarStudio HE100 High-Resolution Earphones

    The weatherproofing sounds really interesting--I'm always worried about the durability of my IEMs, but these look pretty sturdy.

    Replacement MMCX cables?

    I’m looking for a replacement mmcx cable for my Shure SE425–I’m not looking for anything special, but I’d like something durable and not too long. I was considering the Shure cable, but the metal wire part is very flimsy. Any recommendations for $30 or less? Thanks!

    Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Review & Measurements

    How would I put a Macbook into "DAC mode?" I've never heard of this on any Macbook and I was wondering if I could get a line out from my Macbook Air as well (latest version). I'd love to just use either a Magni or Vali with it.

    Schiit Fulla 2, Modi 2/Magni 3, or other DAC/amp for HD58X?

    I just purchased the HD58X this past week and I'm looking for a computer DAC/amp to use with my 2017 Macbook Air. I currently own a Fiio X1 (1st gen) and a Fiio E12A, which I enjoy, but these can't be used for listening from my computer. I'm currently considering the Fulla 2, which I've heard...

    Beats Solo3 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    A bit late to the party here, but I just picked up the Solo 3 this past week for free with my MacBook Air. I'd considered selling them without even opening them to pay for an IEM purchase, as I needed another portable set of headphones. After reading reviews and hearing about the W1 chip, I...

    Sub $100 IEMs for Rock/Electronic, with low-average isolation

    Hi all, I've been out of the game for a while and haven't kept up with what's good in the IEM realm. I currently have SE425s, but I've owned SE215s in the past. I also largely use EarPods. I'm using Apple Music from my iPhone SE, so there's no need for anything astounding, but I do need less...

    GIVEAWAY — MAYA by Vibro Labs

    Orange is my favorite and because it should be everyone's favorite, I'll guess it's yours too.

    New England (Mass, NH, Maine, etc) Winter Meet - 1-28

    I've been to the past two Fidelus meets in NH and they worked out very well. It's also a great store. I'm free most weekends and I'd love to have another up there.

    FiiO E12A - Balanced or not, and whether or not to pair it with the RC-SE1B?

    Hi all,   I've had my E12A a while, paired up with my FiiO X1 (1st gen) and Shure SE425 and I've been thoroughly enjoying the combo. I haven't been looking to upgrade but I was browsing FiiO's site today and found the RC-SE1B, a balanced cable for my SE425. I don't know too much about balanced...

    Reply to review by 'trapz' on item 'FiiO X5 2nd gen Premium Hi-Res DAP'

    If you'd have done any research whatsoever on FiiO and their products, you'd have seen that they're geared towards providing the best sound quality for music possible at the cheapest price. No fancy options for audiobooks, no fancy switching around with a bunch of options for playback, etc. It's...

    #808Day: V-MODA Joins Forces With Roland

    This seems pretty cool! I'm play synthesizers myself and I've got a lot of respect for Roland gear. Seeing a good headphone brand pair up with a good synthesizer brand seems like a great combo.
